LABOR TO OPPOSE"
SED|T|ON BILLS
Gompers Announces That Federation
Of Labor Will Fight Passage Of
Sterling and Graham Measures.
Afirms That Both Bills Are
Dangerous and Un-
American.

Washington, Jan. 18.-Formal an
nouncement that the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor will oppose with
whatever power it may possess" en-
actment of the anti-saloon bills now
pending in Congress, was made in a
statement issued today by Samuel
Gompers president of the federation.
His attack is directed impartially at
the Sterling bill, recently passed by
the Senate and Graham bill, based
on proposals by Attorney General
Palmer and awaiting action by the
House rules committee for special
rule to expedite consideration.
'The proposed bill," he said, eff
enacted, would violate the constitu-
tion and rob the whole American
people of their most cherished and
basic guarantees of free government.
"If the American pepole, and in
fact majority of the members of
Congress were awake to the dangers
concealed in this bill, storm of in
dignation would sweep the nation.
Says Bill is Dangerous
"It has been widely advertised
that this measure protects free
speech fully, but prevents advocacy
Of forcible revolution, Bolshevism
and anarchy. In fact, it would per-
petuate an autocratic censorship
over the entire American press. 1t
can be used to kill free speech and
free assembly. 1t strikes a deadly
blow at legitimate organizations of
abor or any other progressive move
ment for the betterment of the
masses which may be opposed by the
advocates of privilege and reaction.
I'VE yield to no man, in public of
flee or out, on our loyalty to the
constitution and institutions of this
republic; no self-respecting man has
questioned or dare question that
loyalty. We are for evolution; for
ballots, not bullets; for majority
rule, not class dictatorship or Boil
shevism, plutocracy or the profiteer.
eve oppose this bill because every
legitimate purpose for which it is
framed is already covered by exist
ing law. It's illegitimate features,
which compose two-thirds of the
draft, are utterly autocratic, im-
perialistic and un-American."

able to stay in Holland indefinitely,
according to advices reaching here.
Reports from Paris that the su-

DEPORTED REDS
NEARING RUSSIA
Rumors That Soviets Would Kill
Radicals Not Confrmed-Precau-
,;,ns Taken to Insure Their
Safety-Finnish Government
Takes Charge of
Radicals.

Hango. Finland, Jan. 1S.-Ihe
train having aboard the BolsheVlsts
and anarchists deported from the Un-
tied States was held here last even
ing until positive assurance was re-
ceived from the Soviets that they
would permit the party to cross the
Russian border and that the deportees
would not be molested. Grave rumors
had come from the border that Berk-
man and Goldman and their comrades
would be killed by the Russians and'
while there was apparently no author
ity to confirm the threat, 1t was
deemed advisable to take all precau-
tions.
The undesirable" disembarked
yesterday afternoon from the Buford
and were placed in box cars fitted up
with plank benches, tables and beds.
Each car contained seven boxes OF
army rations. The supplies include
bully beef, sugar and hard bread.
To Assure Their Safety.
The train was required to wait
several dreary hours while the Fin
nish authorities negotiated with the
Russians for an unofficial suspension
Of hostilities-not the official armis-
tice originally planned-long enough
for the Reds to pass over the bridge
which marks the boundary between
Finland and Russia and to assure
their safety.
The Associated Press correspondent
Who arrived in the morning, was not
permitted at first to board the special
but after appealing to the authorities
the colonel in command received him
briefly and he was taken aboard the
train. 1t was originally planned to
send labor officials as far as the bor-
der, but this was found unnecessary
because the Finnish Government,
through the American vice consul,
volunteered to take over the unde-
sirables as a favor to the United
States.

FRANCE ELECTS
DESCHANEL AS
NEXT PRESIDENT

Versailles, Jan. 17.-Paul De-
schanel, president Of the chamber OF
deputies, this afternoon was elected
president of France, by the joint as
semb!y of the senate and chamber of
deputies. He succeeds Raymond
Poincare.
Mr.. Deschanel received 734 votes.
He has long been a prominent figure
in French politics. He was first elect
ed president of the chamber of depu-
ties in 1898, after a career in minor
offices. He served until 1902 and
again was elected in 1912. He is a
member of the French academy and
the academy of sciences, and has
written extensively on political,
social and economic questions. he
was born in 1856.
Premier Lloyd George, of Great
Britain, came to Versailles for the
ceremony. AS each members name
was called he walked forward to the
presidential platform, mounted the
steps and received from one usher a
small whitehall about the size OF an
ordinary marble. He then advanced
to the voting receptacle, which look
ed much like an American ballot box,
dropped his ballot into the wooden
slot and then handed his ball to an
other usher, who kept tally for the
members voting.
There were comparatively few abb
stentations from voting, which pro-
ceeded slowly. The calling CT the
roll was completed at 500 o'clock. A
second roll-call to check the voting
was finished at 80 p. m. and the
actual count of the ballots then be-
gan.
While the voting was going on
within the chateau the scenes out
side were tranquil. A regiment of
infantry was drawn up beyond the
principal gate to the palace en-
closure and outside the line of SOL
diery was an orderly crowd of some
thousands of persons who had as
sembled to see the distinguished ar
rivals and learn the first news of
the election. All the approaches to
the park were held by detachments
of soldiers to keep out intruders.

WAGES PAID BY u. S.
AT WAR CAMPS BLAMED
FOR LABOR TROUBLES

Washington, Jan. 17.-Demor-
allied labor conditions resulted from
increased wages paid by the gov
ernment for construction of camps
and cantonments during the war and
still continue, A. C. Bernhard, an At
lanta contractor, told a house war
expenditures subcommittee today.
Wages increased 100 per cent, Mr..
Bernhard said, but increased eff
ficiency only was about 90 per cent,
he added. Farm labor was prac-
tically depleted during the summer
Of 1917 and the winter of 1918, he
iold the committee because of in
creased wages paid for government
construction work.
Cost plus contracts, under which
government cantonments were con-
structed, Mr.. Bernhard said, were
the only contracts possible under ex-
isting conditions. Had the govern
ment allotted contract" he said,
"and then assured a sufficient re-
turn on the completed work there
would have been few contractors
who could have done the construc-
tion.'

NATION WAKES UP
TO NEW CONDITION

Washington, Jan. 17.-Nationwide
prohibition by constitutional amend
ment-the dream for years of those
opposed to the sale of liquor-be-
came effective tonight at midnight
with the department of justice and
the bureau of internal revenue, the
two government agencies entrusted
with enforcement of the new basic
law, ready to take action against all
Eviolators.
The final step in the work of en-
forcing the new form of prohibition
was taken tonight when Secretary
Glass approved finally the regula-
tions to be observed by agents of the
federal government.
=, John F. Kramer, general prohibi-
ton commissioner, announced that
he practically had completed selec-
ton of his corps of state commission
ers and local agents, and had been
notified by them that they were pre-
pared to start tomorrow morning on
the task of enforcing the amend
ment.
There was little notice taken by
government officials of the end of
all licensed sales Of liquors except
at the treasury department where
much activity was shown at the Of
ifces of officials connected with pro-
hibition enforcement. Their task,
however. was confined to the linking
up of detailed plans for aiding local
authorities in driving out the illegi-
innate dealer in intoxicants. Officials
said they expected a multiplicity of
legal and lesser tangles to ensue but
they were making every effort to
avoid as many of these as possible.
Mr.. Kramer said he had staff of
Ineearly 1900 men ready to begin
their duties at midnight.
About 800 of these will work un-
der the direction of the state prohibi-
ton enforcement officers while the
Others will serve much as did inter-
nal revenue agents before war time
prohibition went into effect.
Mr.. Kramer's bureau has $2,000,-
900 with which to conduct its work
until July 1.
Treasury officials anticipate some
trouble in handling the disti.lel IL
quors in bonded warehouses. 1t has
been disclosed that, in several cities,
large quantities of bottled goods
have disappeared from bonded stor-
ageage despite the vigilance of reve-
nue. officers. To avert further thefts
Mr.. Kramer's staff has been in
structed to guard such liquors with
extra care.

NO BREAK YET IN
LINEUP IN SENATE
LEADERSHIP FIGHT

Washington, Jan. 16.--Metro-
politan newspapers are devoting con-
siderable attention to the deadlock
in the Underworld Hitchcock contest
for the Democratic leadership of the
senate and the failure of Senator
Hoke Smith to vote for either can
didate. 1t is conceded that Senator
Smith holds the key to the situation,
assuming that here will be no
changes in the vote as cast and
paired Thursday, and there is specu-
lation as to what candidate the
Georgia senator's vote eventually
will go.
Published reports that Senator
Smith would swing at the next eau
Gus to Senator Underwood, of Ala
bama, were declared by Senator
Smith to be unauthorized" The
only statement he had made so far
is substantially the explanation ne
made to the caucus that his personal
relations with both men were so
close and his friendship for each so
strong he had been unable to bring
himself to vote against either.
On the next ballot the Georgia
senator may go either to Underwood
or Hitchcock, in order to break the
tie which no one expected.
1t is evident that unless some 9TH
er senator changes his mind, the
vote will still be tie with the re-
turn ofthe absentees, and the vote
of 10 to 19 yesterday will be changed
to % to %, with Senator Smith hold
ing the balance of power and the
controlling vote.
There is some discussion here of
the possibility of a clark horse"
.andidate, but the indications are
that he race will be run out be-
tween Hitchcock and Underwood.
Originally three names were suggest
ed for the leadership, but Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, elimi-
mated himself land the race narrowed
TO the Senators from Alabama and
Nebraska.
The vote in caucus was not along
sectional lines, although most of the
so-called southern group voted for
Underwood. The exceptions were the
two Texas senator's, the two North
Carolina senator's and Senator Tram
NELL, of Florida.
The treaty fight is not directly in
.volved in the leadership deadlock.
Senator Underwood says that re-
gardless of who wins Senator Hitch
cock will continue to take the lead
in treaty matters as the ranking
Democrat of the foreign relations
committee. Senator Simmons also
gave an interview saying the treaty
issue is not involved. He smilingly
admitted that Senator Smith seemed
to have the balance of power, in
view of the unusual and unexpected
situation. The leadership matter, he
said, was purely one of personal
choice and without political, section
al or other significance.
