MILITARY TRAINING. - James
H. Dolsen hits the nail on the head
in his article on military training,
and is the only contributor to The
Public Forum who voices the senti-
ment of the enlightened workingman
on this subject. Dolsen further asks
Allen Steven why he does not tackle
this most important subject at this
time, instead of the sex problem,
which will not force military train
ing on US or force us to the slaugh-
ter trenches in case of war without
our consent. wish to inform Dolsen
and others that have challenged
to debate several writers on this sub
ject, none of whom has accepted my
challenge, including the secretary of
the National Defense league or any
one he may choose to debate with
me. To me it seems debates on this
subject are being widely sidetracked
and only one-sided dope shot into us
by newspapers and other prostituted
publications, for reasons best known
to themselves, as can prove.
This subject is no exception, be-
cause the subway proposition and
others which the people have voted
down are being forced on us against
our will, with One-sided dope for the
benefit Of those who will profit by
them in the event of their adoption.

Farm Horses Indispensable.

Today, when the tractor is coming
into favor as source of farm power,
there are those wild-eyed extremists
who would have us believe that the
horse is bound to be abolished from
the farm. This same propaganda was
reached at the time when steam pow
er replaced horse power for driving
the old-time threshers. AS result
of this recent awakening in favor of
tractor power, horse breeders have
become alarmed again at what seems
to be a direct blow at their business.
Horses have been the farmers
helpers and companions when the
stress of farm work was greatest.
They have been part of his big farm
household in which family ties really
exist, and it may be said that he has
perhaps resented, for this reason
mainly, the idea that he should go
back on his friends and replace them
with mechanical substitute.
With all of our automobiles and
tractors, no sane man should make
the claim that there is no need of
horses on the farm. There is a great
amount of work which the horse can
do we'll For instance, in cultivating
growing crops, like corn, where the
work is light and where the natural
instinct of the horse can be trained to
follow the row and allow the farmer
to attend strictly to the job of getting
rid of weeds, no tractor of the present
stage of development can be said to
be in competition with the horse. For
the small garden or truck patch the
horse will always have first call.

REVIEWS HUGHES
DECISIONS
Gompers, in Statement, Shows
Candidate Took Extreme
Stand for Injunctions.

Washington, Aug. l1.-Democratic
party managers here gave out a let
ter from President Samuel Gompers
of the American Federation Of Labor
to Thomas H. Nichols of Alliance, o.,
reviewing the attitude of Charles E.
Hughes, the republican presidential
nominee, in Supreme Court cases in
volving the interests Of labor, partic-
ularly the Danbury hatters' case.
Mr.. Gompers' letter reviews the
Danbury hatters' case which resulted
in unanimous decision of the su-
preme court, in which former Justice
Hughes concurred, holding the hat
tiers of Danbury must individually
pay D. E. Loewe and company some
$500, 600 damages under the Sherman
law for the celebrated hatters' boy
colt. 1t also referred to. the courts
decision holding unconstitutional the
Arizona anti-alien law. Former JUS
ice hughes wrote the opinion.
'1n that decision" wrote Mr.. Com
pers, "Justice Hughes took the posi-
ton that the iniunctive process ap-
plies to personal relations. Mr..
Hughes has taken an unequivocable
position. He endorses the abuse of
the writ of injunction against which
wage earners have vigorously pro-
tested and which they have tried to
correct by remedial legislation in
order that they might enjoy the rights
and opportunities of free citizens.
"The above is accurately the infor-
nation which you asked and | take it
will be of importance to you as well
as to the working people and liberty
loving citizens all over the country
and enabling them to understand the
mental attitude of Mr.. Hughes who
now is a candidate for the presidency
of the United States"

BILE identical with the invasion of an
enemy country. There will be an
advance guard and flank guard on
the march, outposts and sentries and
the other features Of encafnpment in a
territory subject to enemy invasion
momentarily.
Brigade officers are hoping by this
means and others to substitute here
the training that the troops would
have been getting on the border, had
it been possible for them to 90 at the
time of the Presidents call.
Recruiting and discharges both
went forward today in the days rou-
tine. Total discharges acted upon
numbered seven and total recruits
five.

TO PACKARD EMPLOYEES:

In its editions Of Thursday and Of Friday,
July 10th and 2lst, last, The DETROIT
NEWS published leading article and leading
editorial through an unfortunate misconception,
which gave the impression that the Packard Com
pany had deceived its employees, by promising that
during absence on military duty their wages, or
salaries, would be continued at full, regular fac
tory rates of pay. and that it had failed to keep It's
pledge.
In order to correctly state the facts and the
proof in the simplest way, we reproduce here the
original order issued by President Alvan Mac
auley pursuant to the decision of the directors of
the company.

The NEWS also stated, through some error,
that the Packard Company posted placards urg-
ing men to join the Michigan National Guard"
and telling them their salaries would be paid in
their absence.
This would imply that the Packard Company
prepared those placards. The facts are that the
placard was not prepared by the Packard Com
pany, but by an outside Committee interested in
aiding the State troops, In order to point out, to
those who might be Interested certain facts in con-
nectlon with the opportunity afforded to enlist IN

Those placards contained, however, no state
