FOOD LEGISLATION TO
BE URGED BY LABOR
Samuel Gompers Calls Upon
Unions to Get Behind
Lever Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Organ-
lied labor was called upon formally
10y the American Federation of Labor
today to get behind the campaign for
enactment OF the administration food
legislation by July /. All unions were
urged in n letter by President Com
pers to press their congressman for
prompt action.
Mr.. Gompers said in part:
In order to secure the fullest bene-
fits from the Lever bill it must be
made law before July /. Every work
er who wishes lower prices of the nee
essaries Of life can help in securing
the immediate enactment OF the Lever
bill. The following suggestions are
made to those who wish to help:
Let every trade union, every CEN
tral body, every state federation of
labor every international organization
take official action upon this matter
and communicate to your respective
congressman in the house Of repre-
sontatNes, your senators and to the
president Of the United States.
THE need OF immediate, effective
action is demonstrated by the fact
that the worlds grain crop is seri-
ously below normal The war can not
be fought by hungry men. The work
necessary to maintain the continuity
of this nation can not be done by
starving people.
you are urged to act Immediately
to make known your need and your
desires to those who are charged with
the responsibility Of creating agencies
by which sufficient food will be as
sured to this nation and to those
fighting the worlds war for human
freedom"

A 'TIoODOo" SHIP WAS CURSED


A bark from Europe, now in port at
savannah, Ga, is the "ho0doo' ship
which every sailor fears. The tale
goes that when it sailed for America
1t was cursed by an old woman, who
prophesied that the ship never would
return TO its home port. And it hasn't
yet. 1t was five years ago that the
ship put out on the Trans Atlantic
voyage, and its career since then has
been q succession of misfortunes.
On the way over to Savannah II ran
into a storm, lost the most Of its deck
gear, had a man washed overheard
and came near foundering. After
reaching Savannah it had considerable
difficulty in obtaining n cargo.
Then, the day before I was sclied-
uled to sail, the rats left it and
jumped onto the barge from which
1t was taking coal. Tho crew Won
oered at the foolishness of rats
leaving q good ship for a barge where
there was nothing to eat but coal
Then the mate mentioned the curse
CT the old woman, and Immediately
the crew left, bag and baggage.
With some difficulty other seameu
were obtained and tho vessel sailed
Crossing the bar It parted the tow
line holding 1t to a tug and went
ashore on the soutL breakers. 1t took
three tugs to save ii and bring it back
to anchorage.
Then It was necessary to unload It's
cargo for inspection.
While this was being done the cook
broke the government seal on the
grog chest and ran foul Of the law.
Then two more Of the crew were ar
rested for minor crimes, and the rest
of the crew, hearing of the rats, de-
cidod to leave.
Repairs were made on the vessel
and II shipped n new crew and start
ed TO sail again. When 1t reached
the mouth OF the river a gale was
blowing but II continued ahead. Some
distance out the gale increased to
such proportions that to save the ship
II was necessary to put hack.
The crew left again.
A small squad of seomen was OBJ
tained from New York and deserted
the day after arriving.

As the blood bespattered youth fin
