Through the persistent efforts OF
Hon. +. =. Gambler. Congressman
from this district. the bill appropri-
ating $50. 900 90 for improvement
of the Federal court and postof1ice
building at Aberdeen has passed
both houses The improvement will
probably consist Of an annex that
will give ample room in which to
take care of the voluminous bust
ness that Is ever increasing at the
Aberdeen postollice. We under
stand that INQUIRIES have already
begun to be made by contractors
from abroad to construct the i'm
provement. Aberdeen has con
tractors and builders that have been
preferred TO do the building at this
place heretofore. always having been
lower in bids than outside compet-
itors. 1t has been the policy of
building committees to give them
the preference where bids were
about equal. This has been a com
mendable policy; because the money
spent in the construction Is paid to
workmen who live here and kept at
home. Besides. the home contrac-
tor takes a native pride in doing
just Il little more than the specifca-
tons call for.

The Mid Continent Congress.

Rev. f. L. Crystal was ap
pointed by Mayor ]. NJ. ACker as
a delegate to represent Aberdeen
at the Mid Continent Congress
for a league of nations, to be
held in Atlanta, Ga, February
27 IS. He left for that city We'd
neSday morning.
This is one of a series of Con
crosses TO be held at variOnS
cities under the auspices OF the
League TO enforce peace. 1t is
intended to influence popular
sentiment 10 an alliance of IA
tIOnS into a league that Will en-
force peace, as was proposed by
the Peace Conference al Yer
SailleS.
Ex-PreSident Taft, Alton B.
Parker and other national pOlit-
iCal celebrities are officers OF the
league. A wave of popular
opinion and enlightenment is
sought TO be put in motion by
these congresses that will sweep
the adoption of the League of
Nations 10 an early ConSumma-
ton.
AntagOniSm TO the idea is aC-
tive in almost every section of
the country. To Deutralize this
antagonism is sought 10 be ac-
Complished before any agree
ment among nations can be
realized.
The League is represented to
be imperative 70 meet new world
conditions. 1t is not Compre-
hended enough by people gener-
ally 10 pass intelligently upon
whether the advocates of the
league are right in their repre-
sensations or not. The people
are waiting for the light that will
lead them and dispose their judg-
ment on this, the greatest of all
world questions.

American pulse and procure the
unqualified sanction of The great
people he represents before he
can commit this country TO the
agreement which has been pro
posed that ii become a political
unit of q world republic.
The American people are
proud Of Mr.. Wilson and have
confidence in his statesmanship
and prophetic vision, but whether
the plan that has been proposed
by the league of nations which
modifieS their right 10 remain
sole arbiterS of the future destiny
of their country cannot at lhis
time be determined.
After this campaign of public
lily has progressed, and American
freemen know exactly what is
proposed and how it will affect
their destiny as a free people. IL
will become evident whether or
not they are willing to subscribe
10 the terms of thi, league of ma
lions. In the meantime, it is the
duty of every American citizen
TO first understand what is pro
posed, and then TO do his own
thinking, for the destiny OF the
lowliest of us all, as well as the
class higher up, is involved in
the plan.

Interest in the steel strike today again centered in Washington where the Senate Labor Committee was continuing it's investigation of the controversy involving directly or in directly nearly 500,000 workers. FL bert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation, who testified yes terday that the "open shop" would be maintained by his corporation at all costs, resumed his testimony to- day.
 William z. Foster, secretary of the. strikers national committee, and the alleged leader of the radical element in the strike, was in Washington prepared to follow MT. Gary on the witness stand.
 Reports from the steel districts showed little change In the Youngs- town district where the steel industry has been paralyzed since the strike began observers reported that more workmen entering the plant of the Carnegie Steel Company and increase activity of the pickets. The only dis turbance in the steel centers was re- ported in this district where one workman was beaten while on his way home last night and seven persons were arrested.
 Officials of the Bethlehem Steel Company of Bethlehem, Pa, reported today that not more than ten per cent. of it's employees now were out on strike while labor leaders claimed that so per cent. of the men were idle. No change was reported from the Pitts burgh district.
