A. FL. DENOUNCES
G. 0.P. TO TUNE OF
DELEGATES CHEERS

MONTREAL, June 12-Amid tre-
mendous applause the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, at it's annual conven-
tion here today, adopted a report con-
demning the Republican convention
for turning its back on labor" in
adopting its platform.
During the report, presented by
Samuel Gompers and Matthew Woll,
president and vice-president of the
federation, various of the Republican
planks criticized by the leaders were
hissed while their critics received ap-
plause.
The labor declaration as the plat
form is adopted, they asserted, pro
poses an industrial enslavement and
an abroga ton Of rights as precious as
life itself"
while there is in the platform a
certain shrewdness in selection of
language there is never any opportun-
ity for doubt as to the true meaning
on their provision relating to labor,
they added.
The statement, which was present
ed to the convention by President
Gompers. goes into great details,
pointing out labor's grievances against
the Republican platform and vigorous
ly assails the Republicans for neglect
ing anti-profiteering legislation reso.
lutions.
THE Republican platform practic-
ally ignores the profiteer," the state
ment added "and while recognizing
the evils Of currency initiation, offers
no remedy for that condition. Spe-
cific proposals submitted by labor for
relief from the high cost of living and
profiteering are given no place in the
PLATFORM
The Mexican plank of the platform
the labor leaders charge, clearly
aims to undermine the sovereignty OF
the Mexican people and to make the
maintenance of order in Mexico the
business of the government of the
United States
"It proposes the fulfillment of what
have long been the hopes and aims oil
those whose sole object is the ex
ploitation of the people and bound
less resources of Mexico" according
to the labor chiefs
The Republican endorsement of the
trans portation act of 1920 was declar
ed to "be a complete denial and re
pud1ation of the demands submitted
by labor and is an empha tic endorse
ment Of the labor provisions of the
| Cummins-Esch railroad act"
Charging that "unspeakable out
RACES inflicted upon the mine workers
Of West Virginia by hundreds of arm
ed detectives and gunner employed
by the coal interests have become &
matter of national shame" the United
Mine Workers called upon the fedora
ton to demand senatorial or congres
sional investigation into conditions ir
| that state.

and Johnson agreed that first ballots
today would show increased strength
for the leading candidates.
The managers for the big three"
in no way relaxed their energy or lost
confidence in success. Backers Of the
Harding compromise contended that
no nomination would be reached as
the situation now stands.
They put forward their plan to meet
this condition, and believing that dele
gates would not remain over until
Monday, necessitating action today.

mise plan were known to be seeking
support of the California senator's ad-
herents, If 1t became clear that John,
son could not be nominated To in.

direction, some leaders urged during
the night conferences that a ticket of
Harding for president, and Johnson
for vice-president be put forward.
There was nothing to indicate that
Senator Johnson would consent
Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts,
also was mentioned as a possible mate
for Harding. should Senator Johnson
elect to give his support but not his
name, to the ticket.
Opponents of the Harding plan de,
clared they would fight it to a finish
in a caucus of the New York delega-
ton today.
indiana's Votes Counted On.
Votes also could be drawn from In
diana, Pennsylvania and some Of the
New England and Southern states,
leaders of the Harding movement de-
clared.
Whether Senator Penrose was
aware Of the new proposal, was a
moot question. At one conference 1t
was declared he was. This was de-
MED later.
General Wood was informed of the
new move. He brought his managers
together during the night and they de-
termined to stick by their guns.
Conferences between leaders of all
factions looking to nomination to-
day began at many hotels and clubs

day. They were still going when the

What the Woodsman Sees.

BOYS Life: You. can always tell a
trained woodsman from a tenderfoot'
because the tenderf0ot sees only the
obvious things that are plainly evident
but the trained woOdsman notices the
little things that are unusual or OUT
of the ordinary. For example, the
tenderfoot walking through the woods
will see a lot Of trees that look al
alike. The skilled wOOdsman will no
tice that one tree is bent in a peculiar
shane. or has a knob or burl on one
side, When he sees that tree again he
will recognize it and know he is on
the right trail. The tenderfoOt Will De
startled by the sound of two trees rub
bling together or of bushes cracking
with the wind. The w0Odsman recog-
nizes these as ordinary sounds. but ne
hears the faintest snap of a twig, made
by an animal stepping on 1t. Inc
tenderfOot walking on a trail sees only
the path in front of him, which looks
all alike. The wOOdsman Will notice
the slightest mark in the trail that
shows that some animal or person has
pa ssed before him, and he will be able
to read these marks and tell the tale
of what has happened.
''The first thing for n scout to earn
in stalking is to notice little things that
are out of the ordinary and learn what
they mean: 20 read the record That
every living creature leaves behind
him. telling the story of his life and
dOingS.'

DAIRY WILL SELL
P~ASTEuR|zED Milk
Webster City People to
Have Advantage of
Pure Products.

The Webster City Dairy company,
which occupies the building just west
OF the Elks club, will sell nothing but
pa%steurized products. All milk will be
%pasteuized before it is sold or made
into the various products-butter, ice
cream, cheeSe-and the prOprietors, w.
Il. Lloyd and H. p. Cook, hope to have
machinery installed and be able to be-
gin business next week.
The pasteurizing machine already is
in place. AS soon as the milk is
brought in it will be put through this
process, first a series of pipes which
bring it to the required temperature TO
kill all germs, and then through the
cooling pipes. From these it goes i'm
mediately into the bottles, or into the
churn as the case may be. so that 1T is
absolutely pure when delivered to the
consumer.
The. dairy will also manufacture ice
cream for wholesalers, or for retailers
in amounts Ovcr a gallon, and his also
will be made from pastenrized cream
Two different kinds OF cheese, cottage
and pimentO, will be made and put III
sanitary containers. Buttermilk also
will be sold.
The company expects to operate a
city delivery as soon as 1t an be ar
ranged, but until this is begun the
dairy will have a milk station ut Its
plant and probably in some of the lOcal
stores where the different products
may be secured. =,
A purefoOd dairy of this kind will
lfll a long felt want in Webster City.

Good Time to Pay Debts.

A report upon living costs, and some
conclusions as ito the responsibility
therefor, has been issued by w. b.
Barney, state food and dairy commits
sioner, under the date of January,
1920. The report gives the findings OF
Mr.. Barney in regard to high prices
in Iowa which were made after a care
full investigation.
One of the important statements
taken from this pamphlet is the fol-
lowing:
would like at this time to call
attention to the glowing opportunities
offered to debtors by the presenttabund-
ance Of cheap money. Perhaps never
in the history Of our country was a
man burdened with longtime debts
liable to pay these so easily as at the
present time.
"FOr example, a man who had con
ltracted a debt Of $1,000 ten years ago
can now repay that debt with a dollar
whose purchasing power is about 80
lcents. If, in some way the wage
learner could be induced to spend these
fifty dollars in payment of his debt
Instead of for the indulgence Of ex-
travagant whims, he would he in a far
better position to face any revep1r.sses

a Portrait of lincoln.

Chicago Herald and Examiner: The
picture of Abraham Lincoln which has
been bought by Congress and placed in
the capitol shows him smiling.
The legend which has grown Up OF
Lincoln's ngliness OF feature Is a
strange thing, due largely no doubt to
'LincOln's own story of the very ugly
man who gave him a j%ack-knife, which
he explained was to be passed on 10y
Lincoln in turn if he could eyer find
a nan palmer than himself. Il still
have the knife" said Lincoln.
AS a matter Of fact, Lincoln was not
ugly. His height, his breadth OF
shoulder and the deep lines in his face
made him distinguished in any com
pany; but the distinction was never IN
his disfavOr. When he smiled, acs
.cording to John G.. Nicolay, II Of his
secretarie, he was often spoken OF as
handsome. He had a bad color. the
cause of which Normand HapgOod. an
other Of his innumerable b%iOgrapllcrs,
traces to a common ailment, but lis
forehead was good, his eyes We're I'M
usually wide apart and appealing, his
nose was regular, if massive, the whole
shape of his great head noble.
His ears, like his, hands and feet,
were large, but not disproportionate.
Ii the sympathy which was his most
notable factor in his character had moi
made itself so obvioiis, he would have
inspired awe as readily as did Daniel
Webster. ~
1t is we'll that this portrait of Lin
coin smiling should be on exhibition to
the nation. 1t would be better IT. the
tradition of his ugliness were forgot,
ten. Really ugly no man Of Lincoln's
beautiful character could be; to fasten
the idea to his memory is as unfair
and almost as unfortunate as the
earlier characterization of him, now
practically forgotten, as a Jester"

Something New in Bricks.

New York Journal: A new brick tina
has recently been introdced in England
is nearly five times as large as an Ordi-
nary brick, but in comparison is much
less heavy and more easily handled.
The lighter weight results from the
following out of the brick to provide
air layers. BY the shaping of the ends
the existence of joints running all the
way through a wall is avoided. The
brick is. as a rule, made OF n part
of cement and four parts sand by sim
pie hand machinery. Three men can
make enough bricks in a day to build
400 to 800 square feet of wall. A fur
Their economy is effected by the manner
Of laying the walls, ipasmuch as the
ends and bottoms of the bricks need
only to be dipped in a thin lime mortar
mixed with a small amount of cement
If laid in the usual way the air chan
nels in the bricks would become filled.
Stag, clinkers, sand and brick dust,
mixed with cement, form suitable ma
tearials for these bricks. The bureau
of commerce at Washington will give
information on the process.
