LABOR PARADE
 A BIG LOYALTY
 DEMONSTRATION
"Union Card Emblem of Patriotism" One Parader
 Tells The Times,

With the cooperation of his high ness in control of weather matters the men in charge of parade matters for Monday, promise large gathering in the turnout and festivities to be held at Seaside park, following the parades termination.
 The demonstration this year is of special importance to the rank and file Of organized labor, as, without excep- tion all local unions have a large per centage of members in the service of our country. This years parade will be significant especially in the honor shown by participants in the parade to their brothers in the service and demonstrate their loyalty to the Stars and Stripes.
 Final preparations have been made by the men in charge of the Labor Day festivities and their promise is for Q splendid gathering of labor men and their friends. The line of march will be just long enough and covering such streets that will enable the people of the city to view the men as they pass by. It will impress more thoroughly upon the minds of the assembled peo- pie the present strife for world free dom that is progressing overseas. To these men devolves the duty of SUD- plying not only the man-power, but implements necessary to show the Hun he's on the run.''
 Asked by a representative of The Times today what effect if any the present difficulty between machinists on the War Labor Boards wage award, the reply was one that could leave no room for doubt as to the stand of organized labor on all agree. ments made concerning wage an6 | other disputes where the unions were ] involved:
 "The union card I carry with me | at all times is an emblem of patriot | ism, truth, sincerity and keeping faitt with all promises and obligations made by my organization. That ii | also true of all other organization: and by keeping faith with ourselve! and our employers organized labo1 commands today it's place among the commanding forces of the country. Without sympathy from their fel | low union men and without tn. knowledge of having kept faith witt | government representatives surel!
 the striking machinists can expect nc | sympathy from organized labor.
 "The machinists part in the parade
 I want to impress upon you, is solel! as to conditions prevailing before thu
 wage award was handed down. B!
 that I mean nothing that has taker
 place by the striking machinists i
 to show the feelings of organized la.
 bor as it's opinion of the wage award ''We have our differences, surely l and oftentimes we feel that we've received the little end of wage dis l putes, but let me tell you that oul | organizations stand by agreement! made and pledges given. We art | good losers and always willing to wal | for another day."
 All the unions will assemble early Monday morning and being we'll pro vided with music give promise of ( | splendid demonstration as Labor'i | loyalty to our government.

With this conclude, and pro- nounce my sentence: condemn Chris tianity. To me it is the greatest of all imaginable corruptions The church is the great parasite; with it's anemio- idea of holiness it drains life of all it's strength, its love, and it's hope. The other world is the motive for the de- niaI of every reality. I call Chris tianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity,the one great instinct of revenge, for which no ex- pedient is sufficiently poisonous, sec- ret, underhand, to gain it's ends. I call it the one immortal shame and blenish upon the human race"

GERMAN VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY

Frederick Wilhelm Nietzche was one of the most noted of modern Ger man philosophers. How much has his philosophy affected the views and character of the Germans of today? Is not the answer written in the blood of the women and children, the old men of occupied France and Belgium Are not the Lusitania victims witness es to German adoption of Nietzches faith?
 Here is his indictment of Christian ity:

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-31

Pitchers who come back from the army or navy to pitch game for their old club have usually been very successful.
 Boston fans have been wondering what has kept Sam Jones on the bench. He did good work for several weeks, but during the tail end of the season has not been doing much work.
 Bill Kil1efer is authority for the statement that Jim Vaughn is now as great a pitcher as Grover Cleve- land Alexander. If he is, then Kflle- fer can take the credit for having made him so.
 In the closing days of the season the Giants are showing considerable pep at the bat and in the field, but the pitching staff has fallen down badly. When the Red Sox and Cubs come together in the 1918 worlds series both managers will have several play CTS who cannot be regarded as new corners in this post-season play. Man ager Mitchell Is no stranger to the big series himself as he was with the Braves in 1914 and attended to all | the coaching from the lines On his club are Merkle, who played with the l champion Giants and Robins; Paskert 1 and Killefer, who were with the 1915 | Phillies and Mann and Deal, who were with the 1914 Braves. On the Red Sox are Hooper, Ruth and Scott and Agnew, who have been with other | champion clubs in Boston, and Mc- Innis, Strunk, Bush and Schang, who were with the pennant winning and worlds champion clubs at PhiIadel- l phia.

AGREEMENT ID AVERT ALL STRIKES DURING
 WAR HAS BEEN MADE
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, March 29 = An agreement governing the relations of capital and labor for the duration of the war, which will be made the basis of a national labor policy. was reached here today by the labor planning board after sessions lasting more than a month.
 Terms of the agreement will not be made public until approved by Secre- tary of Labor Wilson, charged by President Wilson with the formulation of labor administration. but it was learned tonight that the main purpose of the conference.-the adoption of a plan to prevent strikes-had been achieved. Labor representatives, it was said, pledged the members of un- ions engaged in war work not to strike until after government investigation of difficulties between the workers and their employers.
 Up to Mediation Board
 This was taken to mean that all dis putes would be put in the hands of mediation boards for settlement, an arrangement long sought by govern ment officials who have to do with production of war materials.
 Two important points on which a full agreement is understood to have been reached, are the question of the open or closed shop and that of restric ton of output. Both sides, it was said. agreed that there should be no discrim- nation either against union or non- union labor and that the so-called closed shop should remain closed and the open shop remain open until it be- came impossible to fill shops with workers without putting unorganized workers in union shops or union men in open shops to make up deficiencies, Unions May Proselytixe :. The unions, according to the terms of the agreement. will be permitted to proselytize and will not be restricted in organizing labor.
 In return for assurance on the mart of labor that no restriction will he nut on the output of union men canitaI has agreed, it is understood that wages paid for piece work shall not be reduced during the war. This ar rangement was hailed by government officials as long step forward as a great amount of complaint has arisen because of restrictions unions have put on the amount of work that q man l may do.
 me iaDor planning board comprised l2 members, five named by the Amer. lcan Federation of Labor and f;ve hv the National Industrial Conference Board. Each side nained two men to represent the public. Representativ o1 capital named former President Iaft and the labor delegates Frank D walsh. These two men aIterno.aa as chairmen of the board

 NAMED CANDIDATE

MESA. March 30.-G.'W. Silverthorn, well known Mesa attorney, after con- tinued solicitation on the part of number of friends, has at this late hour permitted his name to be placed before the voters as candidates for position as trustee of the Meca Union High school. The election is to be held to- day and So far MT. Silverthorn and D. r. Jones, whose term is expiring, are the only candidates announced for the vacancy Dan Hilbert. popular, ener- getic and public spirited, is running a lone race for trustee on the grade school board. o. s. Stapley, whose term expires, shakes his head whenever his host of friends approach him regard ing continuation of his 15 faithful years of service. However, the feeling is general that his mantle will fall up- on capable shoulders when Hilbert is | inducted into office. The high school candidates will be voted on all over the Union district. This includes Alma and Lehi. Gilbert also is included but it is not known here whether the Gilbert voters will interest themselves in the contest, 1nasmuch as the busy little city to the south has visions of it's own as to high school matters.
 The polling places in Mesa will be at the high school and the Center street school just opposite. The elections at Alma and Lehi will be held in the school buildings. The hour of opening the polls is 10 o'clock and closing al 6so'clock.

guard (home guards), had been prom ised, it was said, by General Harvey c. Clark, adjutant general, of Missouri, who came here yesterday at the direc- ton of Governor F. D. Gardner to take charge of the situation.
 eia Mob Wrecks Car
 The most serious trouble occurred at Fifteenth street and Troost avenue, a street car intersection, where crowd estimated at 1,500 persons attacked a car, virtually wreckiDg it. The police guards fired a number of shots, none of which, so far as was known tonight, took effect. Police reserves were un- able to cope with the situation and a squad of 50 guardsmen reinforced by an armored motor car, was rushed to the scene. The presence of the guards men seemed sufficient for the crowd soon dispersed.
 One Woman Injured
 One woman passenger on the car was reported to have been struck on the head with brick, but her injuries were not serious.
 Another disorder broke out at Ninth and Brighton streets where a large car barn is situated. The crowds there are said to have stoned cars and at- tackled the trainfnen and police guards They finally were dispersed. A number of the rioters were reported injured.
 Similar outbreaks were reported ir other localities but were put down.
 The general strike situation tonight apparently was unchanged. Most large theaters closed when stage hands joined the strike today.
