Mr.. Huntley, Miss Whitener and
the latter's 10-year-old sister were in

yond her depth. Her sister first went
to her rescue and got her out of
danger, but hurt herself by striking
her leg against submerged stump
and Mrs. Huntley sought to save her
but could not and both were drowned.
Ernest Carr happened to pass by
then with George Vincent and the
men. noticing the little girl struggling
in the water near the beach, got her
out and then learned the fate of the
oder women. Carr lost his life in
searching for their bodies. For a
while, when he did not reappear, it
was thought he had gone across the
bay. but his body was found on the
beach when the tide went out.
All three of the victims were we'll

TELLS HOW LABOR
POLICY WAS FORMED
BUREAU ADDRESSES LOCAL
BUSINESS MEN.

Interesting explanation of how the
national war labor policy was evolved
through a conference of representa-
tives of labor unions and employers a
year ago. was given local business
men by Hugh Reid, a member of the
federal Bureau of Labor, at the reg,
ular Chamber of Commerce luncheon
Tuesday noon.
Tracing the history of the bureau
of labor until it's establishment as a
separate department five years ago
and the appointment of William B..
Wilson as secretary, Mr.. Reid said
that, though it seemed to be deeply
ingrained in both capital and labor
that they are mutually antagonistic,
the department took the view that
this is not the case. but that funda-
mentally they are partners in indus
try. with privilege their common
enemy
Referring then, to the constantly
increasing number of strikes each
year. he declared the most potent
cause to have been the fact that
money had been gradually falling in
value, and that though wages ad-
vanced. the cost of living rose more
rapidly. until the purchasing power
of weeks wages the first of 1918
was only II per cent of what 1t had
been in 1914 and 50 per cent as COM
pared to 1907. This condition, he
said, produced strikes which were
not solely the fault of either side.
Secretary Wilson realized at the
time the United States became in
volved in the war that the nation
could not afford the interruption Of
industry caused by strikes. and called
the conference of five representatives
selected by the American Federation
of Labor and five chosen by the Ma
tional Industrial Conference board.
Each side named it's chairman, and
they presided on alternate days.
After 10 days sessions they pre-
sented unanimous report, setting
forth an agreement as to principles
of a war labor policy which Mr.. Reid
styled "a treaty of peace between
capital and labor" the pledged word
of the representatives of each side,
"far more solemn than any law" He
explained its principal features and
said his department proposed to en-
force 1t.
"The employer, the wage Garner or
the labor organization which fails to
comply with it finds himself or itself
in very peculiar position" Mr.. Reid
continued, emphasizing that word
peculiar" 1T has happened only in
one instance-and the Western Union
Telegraph company is now operated
by the government"

ALL MEN 18 TO as
REGISTER ON 18TH
RANGENIENTS MADE FOR
BIG ENROLMENT.

Supplies are already in the hands
of the local draft board and most of
the arrangements made for the regis
traton for military service Septem-
ber IL of all men between the ages of
IS and As years except those in the
army or navy or those already regis
tered.
President Wilson fixed the date in
formal proclamation which he is
sued after signing the new draft bill
finally passed by congress last Satur-
day.
1t is estimated that at least 49,
100000 men will enroll, compared
with nearly ten million at. the first
registration, June 5, 1917.
Of these, it is estimated that g.
100000 will be called for general
military service, probably two-thirds
of the number coming from among
the 3,500,000 or more between the
ages of 18 and 81.
Washington, it is estimated, will
register 146,853, based on the ratio
of the first registration.
General March, chief of staff of tho
United States army. has said all regis
trants called into the army will be In
France before next June 80, swelling
the American expeditionary force to
more than the 100000 expected to
win the war in 1919
The last to be called will be the
youths in the 18th year, but those OF
that age who desire and who have the
necessary qualifications may be in
special technical or vocational train
ing.
Registration will be conducted by
the local draft boards. All federal,
state, county and municipal officers
are called upon to aid the boards in
their work, to preserve order and 70
round up slackers.
All registrants will be classified a.
quickly as possible under the ques-
tionnaire system, and drawing will
be held at the capitol to fix the order
of registrants in their respective
classes.
The hours of registration will be

IL, and all state and local officials
are called on to make immediate ar
rangements for maintenance Of reg
istration places on that day.
In case of illness on the registra-
ton day arrangements for tardy en-
rollment may be made with local
boards. Men who expect to be alb
sent from their homes may register
by mail sufficiently in advance that
the registration record reaches the
board by September 12.
If a man has no permanent resi-
dence he is to register at the place he
is on September IL, and those out Of
the country on that day are required
to enroll within five days after their
return.
In regard to the calling of those
less than 21 years old the war depart
ment announces that there are now
more men in the army between the
ages of 18 and 81 than those from
32 to As, the number being 245.00W,
compared to 10000 of the older
men. The ratio is said to be even
greater in the navy.
