New Jersey Governor Talks to
Delegates at American Fed
GRAFTON Convention.
LABOR OPPOSES REDS
Samuel compers Declares Organized
Workers Are Determined Political
Or industrial Tyranny Shall
Have no Place Here.

Atlantic City. N. j.. June 1O.--At the
opening session Of the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor, delegates represent.
Ing more than 100000 American
workingmen and women put the stamp
OF their disapprOval on the idea OF
radical agitators and prepared to deal
with reconstruction problems Of vital
Importance to organized labor
Opportunity to show their lack of
sympathy with the efforts Of radicals
came during an address by Governor
Runyon. Of New Jersey. Referring to
. meeting In New York last night, the
governor asserted that these men
threaten that unless things are settled
their way chaos will result"
Law and Order Sentiment.
II know that American labor and
this convention" he declared, have
no sympathy with any ideas that are
not constructive. know you are out
OF harmony with destruction creeds.
You think along sane lines"
A burst of applause from the floor
swelled to roar.
Samuel Gompers sounded the key
note of the convention when he said
organized labor was determined that
political or industrial tyranny should
have no place in America.
ANY employer" said Mr.. Gompers,
who thinks that industrial autocracy
IL going to prevail in the United States
10 counting without his host"
Mr.. Gompers said organized labor
was making no unjust demands, and
that workers, having shed their blood
and made sacrifices to win the war had
no intention OF losing sight OF the
principles, rights and ideals for which
they had fought.
The annual report Of the executive
council containing broad outlines Of
organized labor's reconstructive pro.
gram was submitted to the delegates
In 1t the council made many recon-
mendations designed to protect the
rights and improve the conditions of
American labor.
44-Hour Week Favored.
Foremost among the subjects dealt
with was the reconstruction program
submitted to the executive council
last December by a committee which
had been studying the general situa-
ton and labors requirements. Rec
ommendation for 44-hour week, and
declaration that existing wages must
not be reduced and, In fact, In many
cases should be increased, are the
salient points.

TOUGH CLIMB DOWN ARAFAT
eirds Certainly Had the Laugh on the
Animals That Were With Noah
In the Ark.

The appeal made by the newly es-
tablished republic of Ararat for rec
ignition by the United States will
be better understood, at least geo
graphically, when it is explained
that the region in question is a prov
ince of Armenia.
It takes its name from the noun
tain on which the ark made a land
ing after the flood-Ararat meaning
Noah's mountain.
The whole world, according to the
Bible story, was submerged during
the period of the deluge and Ararat's
topmost peak was the first dry land
to appear above the water, for the
simple reason that it was the loftiest
in Armenia, at all events.
AS viewed today it gives a notion
of the depth of the food, inasmuch
as the peak is more than three miles
from sea level. It is dome-shaped,
and its slopes for 5000 feet from the
top are covered with everlasting
snow and great fields of glittering
ice.
The climb down must have been
rather difficult for Noah, his family
and all the animals disembarked
from the ark. AS for an ascent to
the top, it was formerly believed to
be impossible.

War on Hawks.

SO important are the services OF
carrier pigeons in time of war that any
birds that prey upon them are prompt
iy marked for destruction. That is
why hawks have been the special tar

these fierce birds that are so swift of
wing take great delight in chasing
down the carrier pigeons and then

Agricultural Policy.

San intelligent agricultural policy is
the basis of great industrial policy,
and a systematic effort must be made
to bring the people back to the land.
A great agricultural policy relieves the
labor market, and when there are peri
DDS of depression there is always the
land. There is not the same competi-
ton which throws men out of employ
ment. On the other hand, there is a
nursery to train vigorous men who
will sustain other Industries, and unless
there is agriculture this cannot do
that. an industrial system cannot be
kept allve"-Lloyd George
