Wireless Youth Was Nervy.
Stories told by passengers and crew
of the Carolina indicated that Edwin
w. Vogel of New York city, the ships
nineteen-year-old chief wireless oper-
ator, played a spectacular part in
the dramatic raiding of the Carolina.

FOR CHILD LABOR LAW;
BARRING COURT REVIEW
Senator Owen Proposed That Voters
Alone May Pass on Con-
stitutionality.

Senator Owen of Oklahoma, who
sponsored the child labor law in the
Senate, has announced his intention
Of introducing the law as bill with
two amendments.
One amendment would authorize the
authorities to permit exceptions in
certain cases from the operation, of
the law. The other would provide
that the constitutionality of the law
and shall only be challenged by the
voters of the country.
It would provide that any Judge of
a superior court who permitted the
constitutionality of the law to be
raised should lose his place on the
bench 1t would also specifically take
1t out of the jurisdiction of the Su-
preme Court to pass upon the con-
stitutionality of this law.
Senator Owen said today he was
confident that if the law was enaced
as amended it would stand, and that
the courts would have no power to
deal with it.
Senator Owen, Senator Kenyon and
ported the child labor law were much
disappointed by the decision of the
supreme Court holding the child labor
law unconstitutional. Some senator's
declared they thought It would be ne
cessary to find some other way of
attacking the question, since the Su-
preme Court had held that it could
not be attacked through the control
OF the federal government over inter-
state commerce. One possible method
suggested was to enact tax legislation
which would effectually put out of
business goods made by child labor.
Senator Kenyon pointed out that
other reform legislation, based on
similar powers of the government to
control interstate commerce as those
upon which the child labor law has
been based, were now made imprac-
ticable. Among these, he said. were
the proposed laws to limit the hours
of labor of women and to compel
sanitary labor conditions for men and
to establish minimum wage for men
and women.

What's Needed.
Congress at once should en-
power the president:
FIRST to loan government
money upon proper security to
employers of labor and other
agencies for the housing of
workers in industries which pro-
duce goods necessary in the war,
and
SECOND, to build houses for
sale or rent, to buy and condemn
land and take all necessary steps
for the development of commu-
mites in which workers in such
industries are to live.

torts of the gas plant by the Stan
dard Chemical Co., just across the
way. There it is refined by chem
ical processes, and the toluol sep
arated from it.
But these four or five thousand
gallons a month that the chemical
company is supplying are not the
limit that Tacoma is going to pro-
duce to help our boys in France
pound down the German lines.
The army hasn't half the toluol
it needs. Maj. Gen. Crozier, chief
Of ordnance, has made an appeal
to the Tacoma Gas Co. and gas
companies in other cities, and the
gas company is preparing to in
crease the output.
To Increase Output
Before long machinery will be
installed in connection with the
Tacoma plant for extracting the
high explosive product directly
from the gas. 1t will be done by
what Is called the washing out"
process.
The lighting gas, before It is
sent to Tacoma homes. will be

Of its gas companies. The entire
production from other sources has
been contracted for by our allies
and the navy.
Even II the entire possible pro-
duction of all the gas companies in
the nation becomes available, 1t
will provide only half the amount
of toluol necessary for effective
artillery preparation for our drives
in France.
The work Of obtaining the need
ed supply in Tacoma and the
Puget sound district has been in
charge Of e. r. Lyman, secretary
OF the Puget sound section Of the
American Chemical society.
Chemists Organize
The Tacoma Gas Co. is prepar-
ing to rush plant here as soon as
the government plans are complet-
cd. With this plant in operation
Tacoma's supply can be increased
one-half, it is estimated. At pres
emit it is about $4,000 gallons a
years.
The government Is planning to
insure the gas company against
loss.
Meanwhile the chemists of Ia
coma have formed a club for the
purpose OF cooperating in aiding
UnUcle Sam. 1t is called the
Olympic Chemical club and is
headed by Paul Van Horst, presi-
dent Of the Standard Chemical Co.
The extracting Of toluol will
mean that the consumer must be
willing to use slightly inferior
gas for the period Of the war. 1t
may be necessary to reduce the
heating value in order to increase
the production of the base of T.

Shall we burn toluol or shoot
