SEES IN SARDINIA ISLAND
CHANCE FOR u. S. TRADE
Would Gladly Exchange the Ex.
cess Native Products for
American Porducts.

ROME. June 20 Correspondence of
the Associated Press).-Every arrac-
ton for the American trader-market,
sufficient domestic research to war
rant the extension of credit and a
sympathetic clientele-is to be found
in Sardinia. according to DIR. Alfred
p. Dennis. United States commercial
attache. after his recent exhaustive
study of the economic situation in
the larger insular possession of Italy.
THE Italian mainland. just at pres
ent," said Dr. Dennis for the Associ-
ated Press. has very little that she
her cheese and olive oil. but the sup
ply of both these commodities is
below the margin of home consump-
ton.
The situation is much better in
Sardinia. The island produces cork,
olive oil. tomato paste, wool, sheep
skins. almonds. canned tuna f1sh and
percorino cheese greatly in excess of
domestic requirements. These native
products she would gladly exchange
for American coal, shoes, agricultural
implements, cheap soap, cutlery and
incidence of natural supply and de-
mand which furnish the essential
elements for carrying out true pro-
gram of barter.
AN American steamship service
offering direct trade between New
novelty, but in my opinion would
prove a profitable venture Such an
enterprise. of course, would postulate
the establishment of trade agencies
and banking facilities in Sardinia
Il found the people of the island to
perfect delight in establishing friend

Organized Labor Votes
Not to Parade as Body
in July 4 Celebration

Organized labor will not parade as a
body in the Fourth of July peace cele-
bration. according to a decision reached
at a meeting of Central Labor Union
last night in Musicians Hall.
The cost of preparing a float. it was
pointed out. might reach too far in ex-
cess of the ready funds in the treasury.
and officers declar red that it was their
opinion that the funds be turned to the
actual use of the labor movement. al
though full moral support will be given
to the parade.
The American Federation of Labor
had refused to vote funds for tn" cele-
hration. and this was given as one of
the principal reasons for the inability
of the local central body to participate,
since. il was stated. support of the ma
t;ona' body was needed in the prepara-
tion of floats and displays.
Central Labor Union also announced
its acceptance of an invita- ton to attend
the mass meeting in Alexandria tonight
in behalf of striking telegraphers. Dele
gates to the central body are expected

COURT GRAN rs
CONTINUANCE IN
SLAVEY CASES

\ continuance Of one week was
granted by Justice Mayfield today
10 X. X. Gather and his wife Mary,
charged with violation of the child
labor law.
The Gather case is attracting more
than local attention because it prom
ises to be the first case under the
state law in which the issue of child
labor on the farm is drawn sharply.
Legislative discussion of this law
prior to it's passage was confined to
child labor in factories, but the law
itself makes no exception as to farm
labor and would appear, on its face,
to prohibit parents as well as others
from working children under the age
of -.
There are two counts in the com
plaint against the Gathers, the first
charging them with working Arizona
Dnnn, aged y, and Lee Dunn, aged
6; and the second charging them
with working the children in viola
tion of the eight-hour law. The
Gathers arrived in Imperial Valley
enc year and Falf ago from Okla
homa, with the Dunn children, or
plans, confided to their care.

PROPOSE MESA
SETTLEMENT BY
HEROES OF WAR

Crystallizing an incipient move
ment which has been talked about
for months without concrete results,
the directors of the Imperial County
Farm Bureau late yesterday passed
resolutions recommending that the
mesa lands of the Valley be reserved
for soldier settlement.
The resolution, copies of which will
be dispatched to Secretary of the In
terror Franklin X. Lane and Secretary
of War Newton d. Baker, was sub
mitted this morning to the beard of
directors of the Irrigation district.
No action was taken by this body, the
resolution being filed without discus
sion.
Although the failure of the Irriga-
ton District board to take action is
in effect rejection of the proposal,
it is thought that the Farm Bureau
will take Independent means toward
submitting the matter officially to
the consideration of the government
officials at Washington. The resolu-
ton follows:
Whereas, the beard of directors
of the Imperial County Farm Bureau
at regularly convened meeting held
on August Is, 1918, did unanimously ~
adopt a resolution reading as fol-
lows:
"'Whereas, plans are under way

for TIE development of from 100000
to 100000 acres of land which is now
owned by the government; and
"'Whereas, this land would make
desirable homesteads for the men re-
turning from military service in the
war with Germany, we, the directors
of the Imperial County Farm Bureau,
wish to go on record as in favor of
reserving the rights of entry for men
returning from military duty and
that a definite plan providing for
the apportoning of such land shall
be determined upon; therefore be it

olution be forwarded to the Secre-
tary of the Interior and the Secretary
