that Stuart Chase, who was in gen.

Watson declared, further, that the
Office of Chase is a rendezvous for
men devoted to the destruction of
property and the overthrow of the

WHY LABOR Is FOR THE
LEAGUE.

,
League Of Nations is forcibly ant
succienctly set forth in a mono
graph by John H. Walker. form
erly president of the Illinois STATE
Federation Of Labor and of the Il
linois District Of United Mine
Workers. This article, explain
ing the attitude Of the American
Federation of Labor at its recent
convention in Atlantic City. N. j.
amplifes the reasons advanced a
the meeting in the resolutions
adopted.
Mr.. Walker, who is the &C.
credited spokesman for the Fed.
Grafton, declares labor is for the
League Of Nations because every
normal-minded person is opposed
to war, particularly SO the think
ers of all classes. Continuing he
says:
"And it is because they believe
that a competent, impartial tribl-
nal, selected from the ablest men
in the world, cannot pass judg-
ment on questions involving hui
mainly without making progress
from conditions obtaining today,
that they are strongly in favor Of
a League Of Nations tribunal
through which, by peaceful means,
disputes between nations can be
settled without resort to wars
such as we have just gone through.
Every mothers heart has been
wrung; every fathers heart has
ached with pain; millions Of chill
dren have been made fatherless
and motherless: billions Of prop
erty has been destroyed, and a
burden of taxation has been levied
on the human poo" under which 1t
will stagger for generations"
Labor makes a point in the next
declaration in which it calls at
tention to the fact that every per-
son in our own country who open
ly or secretly supported the Cen
trail Powers in the recent war op-
poses the plan; that every enemy
this government had during the
war. who was obstructing and
hindering the government in its
efforts to win. and who tried to
harass the President, is against it;
that every profiteer who got rich
by betraying the nation and ex-
plotting the dependents of the
men who fought the battle is
against it; that every employing
corporation refusing recognition
to unions is against it. Labor
charges that these men believe in
war and want further opportuni-
ties to exploit the national resour-
ces for their own benefit.
While admitting that there may
be defects in the covenant, labor'in-
sists that they are not Of sufficient
gravity to warrant wrecking the
plan, and that corrections will be
made as time progresses; that the
does not take away any
of the rights we row have, as is
contended, and fra,ly, that it is
the only means bv which wars in
future may be averted.
Mr.. Walkers monograph is one
Of the most convincing arguments
yet advanced in favor of the
League of Nations. and statesmen
it will do well to heed
it's reasoning. because labor pro-
poses to make itself heard in the
determination Of this question,

themselves relegated to private

LOUISIANA COTTON PROS
PECT 372, 751 BALES.

Attention at this time is being
focused on the cotton crop. There
is a breathless interest in the ul.
innate outturn and the burden of
reports from over all Louisiana
continues decidedly pessimistic.
August is usually dry and hot
month but this season the rainfall
was more than usual and frequent,
resulting in further substantial
deterioration of the crop. Ac-
-cording to John S. Dennee, field
agent for the United States Blu
reau of Crop Estimates, the condi-
ton on August 25, which is the
date marking the close Of the third
condition period for cotton, Was
the lowest in ten years, the prev
ious low record being 48, recorded
on August 25, 1909.
On an average date Of August
25 the Bureau Of Crop Estimates,
from the reports Of IFS CORE
spondents and agents, places Lou
isiana cotton condition at AZ per
cent of normal against 50 one
month ago, So one year ago, and
