GREAT PROGRESS BENG MADE ON
 CAMP SHERIDAN
Site Should Be Ready for Entire Ohio Contingent Next Week-TO Protect
 Soldiers Health

Montgomery, August Si.-(Special) Great progress is being made by the advance units of the Ohio National Guard in preparing camp sheridan for the Ohio division, and unless they face an unseen hindrance the camp should be ready for the coming of the other units next week
 Houses for officers are fast being erected, streets are being graded and plats made for tents. Maj. A. S. Houts of the Fifth infantry has completed his work and his regiment can come at anytime, while the artillery site is nearing completion.
 Four thousand Ohio guardsmen were mustered for pay today and the pay master will be ready to issue their monthly stipend next week. It will be the first time the soldiers have drawn pay out of their home state since they were on the Mexican border last year.
 Lieut. Col Dana T. Merrill, chief of staff, has announced that the many soft drink and food stands being erect ed near Camp Sheridan cannot be pat ronized by Ohio soldiers unless they are kept clean and sanitary. We can not prevent the building of the places, but we can prevent Ohio soldiers from patronizing them if regulations are noI complied with" he said. We are de- termined to protect the division from infections caused by insanitary food land drinking places.

Seattle, Wash, August 31.A strike of more than 120O0 workers in Seattle ship yards and plants engaged in fabricating shipbuilding material to enforce demands for a general increase in wages was set for next Wednesday by officers of the 15 affiliated unions of the Seattle Metal Trades Council executive session today.
 Formal notice of the strike date was served upon all companies and firms that have not met the union demands.
 The ultimatum is that the demands made by the unions six weeks ago, when they gave notice of their intention to abrogate the existing blanket agreements on August 1. must be met on or before next Tuesday.
 The wage increases asked are said to average per cent in most of the trades. A $6 a day minimum for mechanics Is the basis of the proposed scale

Third Brigade of Ohio
 Refuses to Accept Camp
 Vacated by Alabamians

Montgomery. August s1.--Cspecial) The third brigade of Ohio National Guard has declined to use the site of the present Alabama brigade during the training period at Camp Sheridan. be- cause of the cramped condition and other objections which have been found by Brig. Gen Charles x. Zimmerman. com nlander of the brigade. This announce ment was made at Camp Sheridan to- day.
 General Zimmerman Is making an in- spection of Camp Sheridan in an effort to find a more suitable site for his com mand. He believes better arrangements can be made at another point and that a better site can be found The location of the Alabama brigade Is a part of the cantonment site and must be used by certain Ohio organizations if the camp is to accommodate as many men as re- ports say will come to this point How ever, 1t is possible that the site can be utilized as storage places for supplies and equipment

the conclusion of three days of argument attack on the constitutionality of the fed attack on the constituionaliy of he fed eral child labor law came before Judge Boyd on injunction proceedings brought by Roland H. Dagenhart and his minor sons, Reuben and John, of Charlotte who sought to restrain the Fidelity Manufac- turing company from discharging the two boys from the companys cotton mills at Charlotte
 PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
 Preliminary to announcing his decision Judge Boyd said that the arguments by counsel had been ably presented, and that he came to the task he had to per form as fully advised and informed as he reasonably could expect to be. He stated that he was gratified by the can- dor of Professor Parkinson of Columbia university in representing the department of justice of the law, who asserted that Congress had used it's power over in- terstate commerce for the object of regu- lation of local conditions within the state and the Encouragement of child labor. Judge Boyd said this admission left the issue clear and brought forward the ques- ton, "Can Congress do by indirection that which it undoubtedly cannot do di- rectly?"
 Congress, Judge Boyd said, 'can reg ulate trade among the states, but not thss internal conditions of labor He ex- pressed his approval of laws tending to elevate the condition and moral state of all the people and made it clear that his Judgment on the act was based upon his interpretation of the constitutional linn itations of congressional power.

Letter from Pastor
Rev. D. E. Over pastor of Zion
Write, of Great Convention

Atlanta, Ca, 9-9-11.
Dear Friends:
We are now in the midst of a meet
ing in this city which will doubtless
go down in history as one of the very
greatest sessions of the National Bap-
tist Convention. AS for numbers we
simply cannot get place in the great
city of Atlanta which will accommo
date the attendance. The out-of-town
delegation more than fills the audi
torium of the Friendship Baptist
Church, and it is impossible for the
city people to attend At night many
more are turned away than can get
into the building. Mrs. Over and l
have been unable to attend single
evening session at the Convention
proper, but have been forced to at
tend the Woman's Auxiliary Conven-
ton on the other side of the city.
Another thing worthy of comment is
that the programs are considered of
a higher order than we have ever
known. The presidents annual ad-
dress was undoubtedly a masterpiece
and simply set the Convention wild.
Your pastor preached the Foreign Mis-
sionary sermon, which is considered
one of the most important on the
program. There could not have been
a more fiattering reception of it by the
delegates. Many of the leaders de-
clare It without question the greatest
Foreign Missionary effort ever given
to the Convention. The sermon is to
be published. This must be due in
large measure to the prayers of our
dear friends AS to the matter of
accommodations we could not have
been more fortunate. We are stop
ping in the home of lovely young
couple by the name Of Wynne, whose
home is new, strictly modern, and
who seem determined to see that we
have everything we want. Our health
is fine and this is trip which, while
full of work, is an experience OF real
Joy We were also most fortunate in
the trip coming over and did not have
the pleasure of the Jim Crow" At
St Louis we Joined the Missouri dele
CATION and at Nashville We became
a part of a great crowd from that see
ton. thus securing sleeping car &C
commodations all the way through
We Will perhaps leave here Tuesday
morning and will spend day or two
at Nashville. the guests of Dr. and
Mrs H. A. Boyd; and after day or
SO in Kansas City and Topeka, we
will be on to Denver. If we find the
time to do so l hope to take num-
ber of photographs so as to give a
stereopticon lecture Of the trip. At
lanta has recently been visited with
a great fire which swept out large
section of the Negro residences of
the city. The gaunt and gutted ruins
of hundreds of blocks of splendid
modern homes is silent and pathetic
reminder that the members of our
race dwell here in the midst of per-
petual tragedy. There are reasons
why many are going north Whether
get the pictures or not there will
be many things to tell. We trust
this will find all the friends trusting
in Him who is able to keep. and to
whom we commit all our affairs.
