WANTS SOLDIER DEAD HERE

Declaring that it is an outrage to keep the bodies of American soldiers in French soil in opposition to the wishes of parents and other near rela- tives of the deceased heroes, Repre- sentative Will R. Wood, Republican, of the 10th Indiana district, has in- troduced resolution to put Congress on record as requesting France to re- peal or modify an existing French statute which prevents the exhuma- ton and removal of bodies.
 "As long as this French law stands in the way it will be impossible to bring any of the bodies home," said Wood "The administration has taken view which apparently harmonizes with the French statute. It is long way across the water to the graves of the sons and brothers and sweet hearts and husbands who died fight ing for civilization. A great many will never be able to afford the trip to the remains of those who were the most precious thing in life to them. Why should they lie there in foreign land and among strangers when our ships might bring them home to rest in our cemeteries where for all future time our children might on Memorial Day and at other times visit them and pay proper respect to their memory"

SEVERAL ASPIRING TO
 HEAD ARIZONA BRANCH
 OF AMERICAN LEGION

PHOENIX, June 24.-Who will lead the Arizona branch of the American Legion when the war veterans pei feet their organization in July?
 Col. Power Conway, of Phoenix, is said to be slated for the honor and appeared to have clear sailing until a few days ago when Captain Taylor entered the lists. Besides a new movement has started which has for it's object the placing of man who did not get commission at the head of the Arizona branch.
 Col. Conway took an active part in the movement from the start. He named the delegates to the St. Louis gathering. He is on the staff of the Phoenix branch which called the big statewide meeting. When the staff assembled the other night to call the Tucson meeting, report has it that there were three Conway, three anti Conway men present; there was d seventh place to be filled. The staff had assembled at the Arizona club One of the Conway men is said to have suggested Captain L. M. Me- Kinley for the vacancy, and he was chosen. Some one suggested that he be sent for to take part in the meet ing. Report has it that he was found waiting just outside. At any rate, the staff now stands four to three.
 A number of men from the 15Sth and the 340th who have just returned plan to take prominent part in the meeting. It is hoped to have 600 more in attendance. Col. Conway has many strong supporters and he may be chosen commander of the Arizona branch. He denied having any politi- cal ambitions.
 The meeting at Tucson will be spirited one. The lists are open and any man may we'll aspire to be the first commander of the Arizona branch of the American Legion.

MAY THROW LIGHT ON A SCANDALOUS
 STATE OF AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON, June 24.-It is not often that the Republican leaders in Congress are given assistance from the Democratic side in their efforts 10 discover exactly what has been go- ing on in governmental circles during the past few years, but Representative blanton, a new Democratic member from Texas, has secured the adoption Dy the house of series of resolutions which, it is believed, will bring to light surprising, and perhaps scan- dalous, state of affairs concerning the personnel of the various departments. The Blanton resolutions call upon the heads of each of the governmental de- partments to report to Congress at the earliest possible moment "the names of all government employees of the
 department, who are also employed by any person, firm or cor poration, the name of such employer, the hours of service given to such em- ployer, and the amount of compensa- ton received by such employee per month for such outside service"
 At Government Expense
 In urging the adoption of his resolu- sions, MT. Blanton said that he had become aware of a situation wherein the head of one of the important de- partmental bureaus, receiving a fed eral salary of $4,50O year, was also paid a large salary by a. private con- cern to manage it's Washington af fairs, and that the offices and clerical force of this concern had been housed in government building where they received free rent, free light, free ice water and free janitor service at the expense of the government. He said there were numerous other instances where Democratic appointees in the various departments had also been paid large salaries by private con- cerns, and who had performed these extra duties during the hours for which they were paid by the govern ment.
 MT. Blanton is a new member from Texas, and although he is a Democrat, he was bitterly assailed by members on the Democratic side of the house while urging the adoption of his reso- lutions. His object, he said, was to prevent these government employees who are performing dual duties, and receiving salaries both from the gov ernment and from outside sources, from securing at the hands of Con- gress any of the increased salaries or bonuses for which the government clerks are now appealing.
 To Question Employees
 MT. Blanton has prepared a ques- tionnaire which Secretaries Baker; Daniels, Lane, Redfield and the other cabinet members must present to each of the thousands of government em- ployees unCer their supervision, re- quiring them to answer specifically whether they are receiving outside salaries, the names of their outside and the compensation thus received. It is freely predicted that these questionnaires will bring forth a quantity of startling information showing that this dual employment, which has been countenanced by the administration, has made necessary the employment of hundreds of extra clerks to do the work for which others have already been paid.

IN CONGRESS
 LAUDS NEW LABOR CODE

ATLANTIC CITY, June 25.- Cen ter and circumference of labor policy, not only for the United States but the world, as enunciated at the annual convention here of the American Fed eration of Labor, is the principle that labor should no longer be regarded anywhere merely as commodity or article of commerce.
 Samuel Gompers brought back from Europe the announcement that this had been incorporated in the peace treaty as the very first of the set of principles recognized by the allied na- tions. He had presented it to the peace conference, as one of the repre- sentatives of labor in this country, af- ter having taken it from the Clayton antitrust law, enacted several years ago, and after having termed it the most epoch-making declaration in the entire history of labor.
 So important has this statement now become, in view of its recogni- tion by the leading civilized nations of she globe, that much interest has been manifested at the convention of the federation in the history of it, and plans are being made to tell the in side story of what will ultimately be recognized as word of hope to labor which went around the earth.
 When the Clayton act first came up for consideration under the direction of Judge Clayton, of Alabama, then chairman of the house judiciary com mittee, numerous hearings upon it were given by the committee. Com pers was among those heard. No suggestion of what is now the chief tenet of labor was advanced. Nor was there any language used which would form basis for such sugges- tion. The bill as it went to the house contained no language of the kind. During the debate no mention was made of it. In the senate judiciary committee which then considered the measure there was no thought of such principle. It was not until debate was begun on the floor that Senator Cummins, of Iowa, Republican and now chairman of the senate committee on interstate commerce and president pro tenn, arose and offered an amend ment which included the exact words now used by Goinpers and adopted at Paris. He was asked if he would ac- cept this principle without the balance of his amendment. He replied that if the entire amendment had failed, he would have offered the shorter form as substitute. He then offered the amendment in the shorter form and it was adopted unanimously by the sen- ate without the formality of roll call.
