ASKS REPEAL OF LAWS.
But Labor Convention Doesn't Request
Release of Political Prisoners.

ATLANTIC CITY. June 20-The
American federation of labor in con
vention here refused today to ask for
the release of So-called political and
industrial prisoners convicted under the
espionage and other wartime acts. In
stead the federation adopted a modified
resolution requesting that these acts be
rescinded with the formal coming of
peace. Originally three resolutions had
been prepared demanding freedom for
political and industrial prisoners, but
the resolutions committee on advice of
members who believed that many of
these prisoners were deservedly convict
ed and sentenced decided to present a
substitute memorial. This, adopted by
an overwhelming vote, besides asking
for repeal of legislation insisted upon
restoration of the rights of free
speech, free press and free assembly.

Association with Americans Is Crowned Upon by Popu- lace of Occupied Zone

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN GERMANY, July 21 (Correspon- dence of Associated Press) Posters written in German and warning Ger man girls against associating with Americans appeared recently in sev- eral public places in COblenz and other towns on the Rhine, the girls being urged to refrain from making the acquaintance of soldiers regard less of the fact that the treaty of peace had been signed. At various times posters have been put up threatening indiscreet girls with pun ishment of one kind or another
 American officers who have inves- tigated say the Germans are determ ined that girls who associate with the soldiers shall have their names known to the population and that several secret societies have been formed for that purpose. Intelli- gence officers say that on several occasions the names of girls who are on the records of the German police for associating with Americans have been read to the congregations at Sunday morning church services In other villages the practice of posting the girls names in public places was inaugurated some time ago.
 The officers assert that blacklists of the girls names have been pre- pared and are being kept for future use, after the Americans are gone.

IMPORTANT ROAD PLAN
 HAS BEEN FINANCED

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 23 (by Asso- ciated Press).-A plan for financing the highway from Phoenix to Yuma, Arizona, considered one of the most important road projects with which the Salt River Valley is concerned has been announced by State En- gineer Maddock.
 The proposed road would connect with the California system of paved roads and would place Phoenix exact ly 386 miles from tidewater at San Diego.
 Of the total cost of approximately $2,175,000, it is estimated by MT. MaddOck that, with the assistance of state and federal funds now availa- bIe or to be available in 1920, the sum of $1,775,OOO can be obtained for the road. With this latter amount, it is said, fast road can be built for the entire distance, with the elimina- ton only of certain permanent con- struction, such as concrete dips.
 The length of the proposed high way will be about 189 miles.
