FEDERAL CONTROL OF
 COPPER PRICE WOULD
 HURTLABOR, SAYS GOV.

After consideration of several days of the government regulation of the price of copper, Governor Thomas F. Campbell last evening wired his opin- ion in the matter to Senators Ashurst and Smith and to Congressman Hay den at Washington. In his opinion the profits on copper should receive the burden of the tax. The governor in his telegram said that every reduction of ? cents a pound in the price of copper means a reduction in wages of the mine workers of 25 cents a day The governors telegram to Arizona's representatives in congress is as fol- lows:
 T view governmental regulation of the price bf copper, as war measure, with concern. Due to the system of computing wages paid labor in the copper mines, mills and smelters of Arizona, based upon the selling price of copper in which industry 30 per cent of all Arizona labor is directly employed, I would protest emphatically against such regulation affecting the sale price of this metal, except such regulation as is brought about by sup ply and demand,
 "It is only after a most thorough
 
 conditions and a full knowledge of the baneful effect to labor which must surely follow the contemplated gov ernmental action, that I take this posi- tion.
 Every reduction of cents pound in the selling price of copper, under the present sliding scale of wages in Ari- zona, means reduction of 25 cents day in pay to every man employed. No compensating reductions in the ele- ments going to make up the cost Of living are visible and a serious hard ship is inevitable. Among the reasons advanced by the workmen involved in the present strikes in Arizona copper mining camps is that the cost of liv- ing has advanced much facter than wages.
 "I fully appreciate the necessity or the req asonable cost of war material to the government and subscribe to the policy generally inaugurated of fixing maximum prices; also, the tax on ex- cess profits for the benefit of the gov ernment By application of such a tax all profits, above reasonable earn ing on the investment, can be secured to the government with resulting full protection to the expense incident upon the war, without reduction in wages now paid to workers in the copper mines. mills and plants. By the appli- cation of the excess profits tax. the burden must rest equitably both on l high and low producing costs. and the actual cost of copper to the govern ment would then be reduced to q much lower price per pound than that now contemplated. Tn short. I recommend that you put the burden on the profits of the industry and not upon those i whose labor is so necessary to produc- ton and who already feel the effect of war prices in all things.

 CHILD LABOR JAW
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

GREENSBORO, N. C., Aug. 29.- Cotton mill interests began their fight before Federal Judge Boyd here today, to break down the federal child labor law. Argument by an imposing array of counsel over the contention that the statute violates the constitution and invades states rights consumed the ertire day and will be continued tomorrow
 The case is an injunction suit brought against the United States district attorney in the name of a father seeking to prevent local mill from dischargng two minor sons to whose wages he claimed to be en- titled
 Professor Roscoe Pound, dean of law of Harvard university, and Pro- lessor Thomas I. Parkinson of Co., lumbia university, appear as leading counsel for the department of justice, while Junius Parker of New York, heads the attorneys for the plaintiffs.
 In the opening address Mir Parker declared that the act is fundamentally at odds with the law of the nation and that it does not prohibit child labors nor the interstate commerce in products of such labor, because of the. opportunity for evasion under the clause specifying that the act shall apply only to goods produced in a plant which has been in operation within thirty days before shipment is attempted. He said congress went 1 beyond the delegated powers of the federal government, and moreover that the act violates the fifth amend ment in that it takes property with out due process of law,

OTTAWA, Aug. 29.-Conscrlptlon became law. in Canada today when Justice Duff of the supreme court, acting for the governor general gave royal assent to the measure.
 The bill is for the purpose of raising 100. 900 men to reinforce the Canadian divisions fighting at the front. All Canadians between 20 and 45 years may be called. They will be divided into classes, according to age, whether married or single. It is expected that in the near future the first class, con- sisting of all unmarried Canadians be- tween 20 and 34 years will be called and that this class will provide the re- quired 100000.
 After assent had been given Premier Borden, speaking to the house of commons, asked Sir Wilfred Laurier to o-operate with him in naming a board of selection to choose local tri- bunals who are to deal with applica- tions for exemption from military ser vice.
 Sir Wilfred replied in terms that are regarded as significantin view of his opposition to conscription and that of the French Canadians of Quebec, He

 ON IN HOUSTON
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug 29.-Mounted Officer Lee Sparks, who testified that he struck two of the negro soldiers one of them Corporal Baltimore-with his pistol last Thursday afternoon few hours before the riot, was one of the principal witnesses today in the inquiry being conducted by board of citizens as representatives of the mu- nicipality, into the riots which cost seventeen lives.
 It was this clash between the police and negro soldiers that caused a rumor to reach the negro camp that Corporal Baltimore had been killed by police man. That rumor spread among the negro soldiers and brought to climax a smoldering feeling against the po- lice, negro soldiers had been harbor- ing for nearly two weeks.
 Officer Sparks told the board of in quiry that he struck the first negro four times with his revolver and that Corporal Baltimore was struck once; that when Baltimore started to run a shot was fired into the ground to halt him.
 Another witness, a city fireman, stationed at Camp Logan, gave evil dence showing that the negro soldiers had planned the disturbance. He said that a squad of negro soldiers guard ing the government ware1ouse, some distance west of the negro camp, left their guard stations upon hearing the first shots fired and marched away in military formation. Two non -commis stoned officers and handful of guards who refused to join the soldiers in de- serting their guard duty, visited the temporary fire station in the camp and asked to have their names taken SC they could establish the fact that they took no part in the riOting.

MOSCOW, Aug 29- At the third general sitting of the national confer ence of railway representatives, NJ. Froloff of the engineers alliance re- ported that there existed a state of utter Reorganization of transportation. which, unless improved. would cease completely by November.
 The representatives gave warning that the consequences would be ter rible both at home and on the front and that the army might turn on the country and commit uneXampled ex- ceSSeS.
 The extreme demands of. the railway workers, the speakers said, played an important part in this Reorganization. They called on all those engaged in the transportation service to sacrifice per sonal interests for those of the country.
 M. Grusenberg, speaking as the rep resentative of the Jews said that they loved their country, notwithstanding their unprecedented persecution under the old regime, and had contributed greatly to the emancipation of the peo- pie and the defense against the enemy.
 Representatives of Ukraine and of western or white Russia said the peo- pie were ready to make any sacrifice TOT the gOOd or the country The spokesman for the Let's declared Courland would never belong to Ger many. Delegates representing the Mussulman alliance said all Mussul man citizens of Russia fully supported the provisiona government.
 General Grouzinoff, former military governor of Moscow, told the delegates the chief problem was to save Russia from the enemy and that to this end it was necessary to re-establish army discipline by eliminating politics, strengthening the authority of the leaders, limiting the power of soldiers committees to economic functions and giving the commander in chief oppor- tunity to exercise unreserved authority.

 WASHINGTON, Aug 29.-Any hope felt here that Argentina would sup port the allied nations in their war against Germany virtually has been abandoned as a result of the German governments success in satisfying the demands of the Buenos Aires foreign office in connection with the sinking of the Argentine sailing craft Toro.
 Germany's agreement to pay ln- demnities and promise not to destroy other ships under the Argentine flag caused Secretary Lansing to point out today that the imperial government had made a greater promise to the United States and then had broken her word. Examinations of the facts ln- dicate that Germany will not be em- barrassed by keeping this latest prom ise. because Argentina has no mer- cantile marine engaged in trans-At- lantic trade The whole controversy has impressed some officials here as hotow and its result is viewed as point scored for Germany. It's only effect would be to insure the neutral itv of the South American whose ln- dependence is exceeded by none, un- less it be Brazil
 The outcome has created no great surprise here. Since Brazil and a few other South American nations aligned themselves against the methods of Germany, agents of the kaiser are known to have been unceasing Tn their activities in Buenos Aires. Cap tain von Papen, former military at tache here whose withdrawal was re- o,iested oecause of his unneutral acts, now is at the Argentine capital, where he is said to be directing his country s propaganda.
 It became known today that large part of the German money that was ir American banks at the beginning of Americas war with Germany, has been transferred to Argentine banks

WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-The eli max of the senates contest over the war tax bill was reached today by dis posal of publishers tax provisions and oopening of the long expected debate on war profits.
 Outstanding de, elopments today fol- lows:
 Petitions for cloture signed by fifty six senators to limit debate and force early passage of tfe bill were pre- scented by senator Simmons in charge of the bill. A vote on clOture cannot be taken under the rules before Fri day. Increase of the bills levy on war profits from $562, ,000, ,0000 to $1,- 060 000000 was proposed in amend ments presented by Senator Simmons for a majority of the finance com mittee, designed as compromise to prevent more radical increases. The senate made changes in the bill which, including the almost doubled levy on war profits proposed by the committee, would bring it's total to s2,522 ,470 GOO.
 Provision for ) per cent special income tax on publishers to raise ST. 100000 was stricken out without a roll call,
 In lieu of the houS- zone system for increasing second class postage rates by s190e0 900 and the finance com mittee's substitute proposing a flat rate increase of one-fourth of 1 cent a pound, estimated to raise s3,000. 900, passed the senate by vote of forty to thirty-five substituted Senator Me kellar's z0n system to raise S12, ,600,- 900 additional. An effort to strike out the section entirely and leave pres sraf tNA made later.
 The senate spent most of the day debating the publishers provisions. Senator Stone. chairman of the foreign relations committee, vigorously at tackled critics who rave charged aim with being pro-Germany sympathizer and defended his attitude on war meas ures.
 Upon disposition of the publication features, Senator Simmons presented the compromise committee amend ments on war profits, which included present taxes, would take sl2S6. 900. DOC of this years profits, estimated between s3,000, DOC and S4,000. 900, 00e

 Although cloture would be vigorousl contested by the so-called radicals or war profits taxation the necessary two thirds vote for it's adoption is regarded as sure in the event unanimous con sent is refused. If adopted, the rule would give each senator but one hou, to discuss the till ard all amend lnents.
 Senate forces favoring even higher taxation of war profits are lining LII to support a flat levy of at least 5t per cent.

WASHINGTON, Aug 29-Another prolonged session today failed to bring the wheat price committee to a con clusion as to a price for the 1917 crop. When the meeting adjourned tonight it was announced the committee would go into session again tomorrow with the prospect of fixing a price before the day was over. To this brief an nouncement Dr. H. A. Garfield, the chairman, added the statement that the committee is weighing every con- sideration carefully and that all ques- tions are receiving serious study.
 Reports persisted tonight that wide difference of opinion has developed as to what is a fair price. Representa- tives of the producing interests. it is said. are holding out for price higher than other members are willing to concede.
 When the price is determined the committee's recommendation will be transmitted to President Wilson and the price will be announced from the White House. This plan drew the sug Gestion tonight that in the event the committee cannot agree on price, two or more figures might be given to the president and a decision left to him.
