PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May "a
Organized labor Of America has again
found occasion to lay before the
world it's ideas on war and peace and
how to permanently prevent a catas-
trophe such as is CONFUSING the civil
lied world today.
At the win the War for Perma-
nent Peace" conference held here
last week in Independence hall, the
delegates representing the American
Federation of Labor and the Ameri-
can Alliance for Labor and Democ-
rary, speaking on behalf of the
American working people, presented
their manifesto.
The labor delegates to the conVen-
ton are: representing he American
Federation of Labor: Hugh Frayne,
John \. Vol, Grant Hamilton, Ar
thur G.. Holder and Joseph Richie:
representing the American Alliance
for Labor and Democracy, William
English Walling. Winfield r. Gaylord,
Henry l.. Slobod;n and David ]. Berry.
The labor proclamation. which was
drawn up on April % at a conference
held in Washington, presided over by
President Samuel Gompers, at which
both groups were present, is as fol-
lows:
The delegates Of the American
Federation Of Labor and of the Amer
lean Alliance for Labor and Democ-
racy have decided to take this op-
portunity to place briefly before this
conference and the American people
certain policies we consider indispen-
sable to win the war for permanent
peace:
Labor's Manifesto.
We urge the general adoption by
the entire ma Ion Of the PRINCIPLES and
policies adopted by the Labor Confer
ence Board in determining the rela-
tions between the workers and their
employers in war industries. They are
as follows:
There should be no strikes or lock-
outs during the war.
THE right OF workers to organize
lectively, through chosen representa-
tiEes, is recognized and affirmed
The right of employers to organ
ize in associations Of groups and to
bargain collectively through chosen
representatives is recognized and at
firmed.
WORKERS for membership in trade
unions, nor for legitimate trade union
activities. The workers, in the exer-
not use coercive measures to induce
persons to join their organizations
nor to induce employers to bargain o,
deal herewith.

SAFETY BOARD REFUSES AID
FOR baby WELFARE WORK

ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 23-That
babies are non-essential to the prose-
cution Of the war and therefore need
not be conserved, is the apparent con-
clusion which members of the Min
nesota Public Safety commission has
reached.
The conclusion is apparently based
upon the probability that babies Of to-
day will not make fighting men suffi-
GENTLY early to participate in this
war and they therefore need not be
saved from death.
DR.. H. M. Bracken of the Minnesota
state board of health appeared before
the state safety commission, asking
for a slice of it's 100000 fund to
save 5000 babies, who, Bracken says,
die annually in Minnesota for lack of
proper care. The safety commission
turned down the request. It sounded
Socialistic," one of the members is
credited as having said.

PAINTERS GET UNION SHOP.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-Or-
ganized painters have won recogni-

flaged under the "open shop" term,
and who persisted in calling the union

the seaports. But the general idea as- sociated with this work has been that after the oil has been placed in a pipe it flows naturally and in unbroken cur- rents to it's destination. Instead of that the crude oil travels in relays. When- ever it arrives at any of the puming stations it is delivered into tank. From this tank it re-enters the pipe on the further side and is forced by the pressure of the pump to the next station. On the new line between Okla homa and Chicago there are 35 steel tanks, each of which has the capacity of 900 barrels.
 The construction of this new pipe line which stretches without break excepting at the tanks, from Oklahoma and Kansas oil fields Co Chicago is re- garded in Washington and by leaders of American industry as an industrial triumph of great military importance at this time. One feature of the con- struction which is regarded as re- markable is the rapidity with which the work was done. It entailed the employment of about 1000 men. The first length of pipe was placed in the trench in November of 1916 and the last length of pipe was connected on Lincoln's birthday, 1918. The line was put into operation almost immediately. This phase of the oil industry which is to be initiated by other oil companies, will, it is believed, go very far to- wards satisfactorily solving the prob lem referred to by President Wilson

These Will Send News of Camp Activity to the
 Papers at Home
'DOINGS" OF SOLDIERS WILL BE ADVERTISED"
Purpose of Movement Is to Keep ReIativse of Men in Touch With Their Daily
 Life
Rr GEORGE M. SPARKS

Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga, April 26, Special J-Plans are now on foot to make Camp Wheeler one of the best advertised camps in the country, as every unit is to have a press bureau and publicity agent. The commander of each unit or the personnel officer will appoint one man to prepare items of interest about the company unit and send them to newspapers pub lished in the county from which the majority of the men in the unit are enlisted.
 It is thought that this will keep the home folk posted as to what is go- ing on in the camp and will often re- 1ieve anxiety that may arise from the negligence of men who fail to write relatives and friends as often as they should
 It is believed by division officers the plan will also prove to be a valuable factor in the sale of the different is sues of Liberty Bonds. as the strenu- ous life of the soldier will be brought close to the civilian population back home. It is also believed that the closer the men are kept in touch with the home and the home wit. them, the higher the morale of the division will remain.
 Frederick Goodall librarian at Camp Wheeler. has prepared to estab- fish a branch library in the ordnance section of the camp. so that it will not be necessary for the men of the ord nance attachments. field bakery and other parts of the camp to travel the long distance that now separates them from the central library when they want to borrow books
 Thirtv-five book distributing points are now in the camp which include the libraries of the Y. M. c. A. build ings, Knights of Columbus building, base hospitals and infirmaries More than 300 volumes are borrowed daily from the central library.
 The 121st infantry, 106th engineers, 116th and -17th machine gun battal- ions and the ammunition trains were off on a hike today. The men called it picnic hike
 Orders were received by several units the night before, requiring them to start on the hike the next morning, carrying such equipment as would en- able them to prepare their dinner in the field The hike lasted 20 min utes, terminating just outside the camp reservation, where baseball par aphernalia was used and games played. while a number of the men spent their spare time collecting garter snakes, mud turtles. flowers and bird eggs, finding it more pleaSurable to daily in the woods than to drill.

How plainly Rabelais makes the point that we make good resolu- tions only when we are in danger. Many a man that has a narrow es- cape from an auto or street car on account of "jaywalking" says to himself, ''never again." But, in a very short while he is back "jaywalking" again or crossing the street by passing behind a car, or running directly in front of a -invit- ing disaster and mock ing fate by his reck- lessness.
 It is just a case again of the pitcher that too often went to the well.

Town Creek, April 26.-(Special.) )-Town Creek has no great orator, no bloated bondholder, no merchant prince but she has gone lover the top magnifi- gently in the Liberty Bond drive. She has bought almost double the amount all lotted to her and is still going. In the last few days she has voted a bond issue of $5000 and the citizens have do- mated an additional $4Oo0 for a public school building. Her citizens have bought nearly $15,00O Liberty Bonds. Town Creek has sent to the army more vol unteers than any other town in north Alabama according to population. She has also furnished her full quota of drafted men.
 The farmers have caught the spirit of progress and are diversifying their crops and planting. also, large acreage to cotton. They are preparing for biS hay crop, and are planting some peanuts. Town Creek is small town, but un- dertakes big things and accomplishes them

You may have been lucky enough to es- cape an accident, but sooner or Ia ter, if you persist in such carelessness, you will be minus a leg or an arm, maim ed body and possibly your life.

 !; $5t|k>s i; ike Care of Your I ire Americas greatest need is for ships more ships
 Every available vessel is being utilized in government service. Many ships that have been carrying rubber from Sumatra and Brazil have been taken for active transport duty. The number now left to bring rubber to this country is extremely limited. This will necessarily force tempo rary curtailment of tire production So, make the most of the tires you h1pe.
 Use good tires. Take good care of them. Keep them in perfect repair See that they properly inflated. Increase their mileage by careful driving. Keep out of car tracks and away from bumps Don't scrape the curb apply brakes too suddenly. Get every mile your tires have in them. Only in that way you be assured of your cars continuous service-and remember, your car is vital war time necessity.

Ing special engineering work. For 1t several large rivers, some of them two and half miles wide and in order safely to do this it was inevitable that the pipes be so constructed as to have great resisting strength Seven hum dred clamps were used in so perfecting the pipe that it would be possible to carry it across or under the Mississippi river The work proceeded after pre- liminary difficulties were ended with a rapidity that seemed almost mar velous As recently as October, 1916, and the work of laying it was begun almost a year and half ago. All sorts of labor saving devices were used and est and importance representing great achievement of an inventor. This is an apparatus which is called pipe screwing machine whereby the pipes are jointed. So successful was this ap- paratus that the pipe lines owned and operated by other companies adopted it and the labor saving element alone is proved by the ability of the ma chine to do each one of them, in day, the work which formerly required at least 40 men.
