Shields Bids Defiance to
His Tennessee Critics
Senator Will Support Three,
and Probably More, of
Lodre Reservations.

Washington, Sept. 5.-(Special,)-
Bidding defiance to his critics In Ten
nessee and elsewhere and indicating
that the pressure brought TO bear on
him from the state will not change
his attitude, Senator Shields today
told his associates in the senate for
eign relations committee that he
would not only support reservations
foreshadowed in his statement in
Tennessee some days ago, but would
go even further. The Shields state
ment which was made in an executive
session Of the committee, is said to
have been the feature OF lively ses-
sion behind closed doors. Senator
Shields plainly told his democratic
colleagues that he would support
three and possibly more Of the reser-
vations proposed by Senator Lodge
and his associates. and that he would
vote with the republicans when the
treaty reaches the senate floor. ac-
cording to one report of today's pro-
ceedings. There was considerable
feeling manifested by some OF the
democratic members of the commit
tee toward Senator Shields, Senator
John Sharp Williams particularly is
said TO have indicated his bitterness
on the attitude Of the Tennessee SEN
ator.
The republican members Of the
committee were greatly elated over
the Shields pronouncement and well
coined him to the antiadministration
fold.

Individual firms or corporations
breaking the proposed truce would be
left to the mercy of organizations of
employers, but labor would fight such
firm or corporation "in a manner that
will never be effaced from the cul
prit's me mory."
The, report declares that unions
which yield to the influence of claw

are guilty of treason to the United

said, it is now the duty of organized

An appeal IS made for the whole

when war united their endeavors.
Text of Report.
The report follows In part:
"First--That organized labor ex-
ert itself to the utmost to increase
production of essential commodities
and thereby lower the cost to the
producer to enable him to lower the
cost to the consumer. This applies,
not alone to the necessaries Of life,
but to all manufactured articles

| duction, manufacture and sale OF
which labor draws its earnings and
employers their profits. This can only
| be accomplished by employers and
| wage earners working together to
| that end, each casting aside all striv-
| ing for temporary advantage and
pulling together in double harness for
The general good of all the people of
, the United States and the emanci-
patton of the world from the eco
nomic troubles which no wbeset the
peoples of all lands. The eight hour
day for toilers is, generally speaking,
an accomplished fact.
1T Is labors duty and it should
be its pleasure to produce as much
in eight hours as it formerly pro-
duced in ten, and even more. To
that end every man and woman that
works for wages should bend every
effort to letting the close Of each
days work see that he or she has
individually added more, and still
more, of marketable commodities to
the wealth of the world than he or
she produced the day before.
Should Be Mo Letting Down.
There should be no letting down.
There must be intensified production.
That means that we will all have to
work a little harder than we are now
working. Our material reward will
come through decreasing the cost of
living, thus automatically increasing
our wages. Our spiritual reward will
come from the fact that every addi-
tional motion we make with our tools
adds by so much to the help we ex-
tend to the people of other lands who
are less fortunate than we Americans.

of the accused acted her part to per- fec tion. She received a beautiful bo- quet of camouflage roses after she had finished her testimony.
 The accused read his testimony in meter for he deemed it much the sweeter. It was very evident that he could not help writing poetry. The sentence, when the jury found him guilty, was that he be handed over to the m arshal who should read to him for at least l5 minutes each day, parts of his own poetry. At the close, the attorney for the state said to his oppo. nents, "Do not take it too hard; appeal the case-he has stacks of money"
 The refreshments were provided by St. Philips Guild, and that always means quality, and everything was quickly disposed of.
 The Redmen showed their apprecia- tion by coming up in a body, and the play may later on be rope ated for their benefit.
 The gross receipts were over $S0 which was far beyond expectation.

A Hard Fought Legal Battle.

The United States vs. Willy Long, fellow Tennyson Brown. Cause, the writing Of poetry.
 A play in the form of mock trial was a new feature for Wrangell and consequently. when last Tuesday eve ming the young people connected with St. Philips Church and Gymnasium put on play of that nature: the house was crowded, quite large number be- ing compelled to stand.
 The play was. ip a sense, double satire. When the witnesses were sworn 10 tell the truth and nothing of the truth, and when the jury was sworn to try the case paying no attention to the law and evidence, and when one witness interrupted lawyer by saying ''See here, you are getting me all mixed up; am giving the testimony just as the lawyer taught me-" was it not a satire on court proceedings as they are some times conducted.
 But there was even keener satire than this. The accused was supposed to have been q wealthy young man who had gone to q city, and come back with an idea that he would start a new cult where everyone would be writing po- etry. Girls go crazy over him, and even families are broken up, and many other disastrous results follow which cause his arrest, trial and conviction.
 The lawyers in the case were young men very learned in the law. Carl Carlson and Vernon Myers represented the state; Alfred Royalty and George GundersOn the defendant. They fought so very hard and cleverly for the defendant that even the judge "who sits up high and bosses it over the crowd" was in doubt as to what the results would be until the jury brought in its decision of guilty.
 The jury, consisting of Eugene Wheeler, John Coulter, James Wheeler and Henry Roaming, was in a sense typical, mot too learned" One of them did not understand what the words law and evidence meant, consid- ering the nebula hypothesis as 6 graft, and so with the others.
 Vernon Myers opened for the state. With great vehemenee he denounced the accused, and spoke of the havoc caused by the fellow sitting there. Carl Carlson most cleverly initiated the old lawyer. He was now stern with his witnesses, and again he would dis arm their opposition with his genial suavity. The manner of his closing speech was masterly, and it had much influence on the jury.
 Neil Grant, as marshal and the in- dignant head of home which had been broken up, did his part well. Ralph Davis as MT. Armstrong who also had lost wife through this new poetry cult, did some detective work on his own behalf and actually caught the accused writing poetry. Fred Gunder- son was the great detective Burns, who had found the accused singing his own poetry.
 John Grant and Edward Loftns were the ''saucy kids and did the act to perfection

Judge Thomas is vice chairman of the organiza- tion and one of the Council s most active members. He did more than any one else toward getting up the Roosevelt memor- ial service, which was most be- fitting the occasion.
