Debate Between Kansas Cover.
nor and Labor Leader Packs
Carnegie Hall.
CONTROVERSY SPIRITED
Allen Denies Gompers "Divine Right"
In kansas-Adherents Of Each
Side Cheer oratory Of
Speakers.

New York-"We have not forbidden
to any man the right to quit work; we
merely have taken away from Mr..
Gompers his divine right to order a
man to quit work."
Carnegie Hall, packed to the doors,
heard Gov. Henry ]. Allen of Kansas,
launch this poignant shaft Of criticism
at the head of the American Fedora
ton OF Labor, in the course of the
joint debate between the Kansas exec,
utive and Samuel Gompers.'
The debate, which had been char.
acterized as a "catch-as-catch-can" af.
fair, as far as definite subject was
concerned, was resolved, Immediately
after Mr.. Gompers started his opening
talk, into an attack on and a defense
OF the Kansas Industrial court, by the
opposing speakers.
Governor Aliens main contention
was that government has the right to
protect the public against strikes,
when it's welfare is imperiled, while
MIR. Gompers held to the argument
that no law can prevent a man from
stopping work if, by doing 30, he may
benefit himself and his family. Mr.
Gompers labelled the Kansas Indus,
trial Court law the "un-American slave
law"
The oratory of the debaters was
punctuated with frequent cheers and
boos by a%dheernts of each side and
occasional questions shouted from the
floor and the balconies.
Gompers Defends Strikes.
In support of the right to strike, Mr.
Gompers said the coal miners strike
took boys out Of the mines. The tex.
tile workers strike brought children
out of the mills and put them in the
school-room, while the strike in the
needle trades broke up the sweatshops
when laws had failed to do so.
Governor Aliens Industrial com.
mandment was, "You shall not con.
spire to shut down industry necessary
to the welfare of the people,"
when the general public says we
have had enough. of this" he said,
tits over"
"Who controls the divine right to
quit work." Governor Allen asked. He
was answered with cheers and boos,
The debate called for no decision,
the committees in charge purposely
having divided the house equally be.
tween supporters of each speaker.

Willingness to set up Il stable govern

by the foreign relations subcommittee
which has been investigating Mexican
affairs.
Should a stable government he es-
tablished. the committee recommended
that full recognition be accorded it
and that financial assistance be offered
by tile United States.
The committee said, however, that
full recognition should not be given
until a treaty had been entered into,

That provisions of Article % of the
constitution of 1917, commonly regard
ed by foreigners as c%ontiscatory, shall

Asks Change in Regulations.
That the constitutional clause, pro.

creed in Mexico. and that no periodical
of a religious character shall comment
upon any political affairs of the ma
ton, or publish any information re-
gardins the acts Of the authorities or
private individuals insofar as they
have to do with public affairs, be in
applicable to Americans.
That the provision that no minister
or religious corporation may conduct
schools or primary instruction, shall
not be applicable in the case of Ameri-
cans, and
That the article under which unde-
sirable foreigners may be expelled be
so revised as to give Americans the
right to confer with the representative
of their government.
The recommendations also proposed
a provision in the agreement for the
immediate appointment of a claims

of Americans, the commission to be
made up Of men chosen by the two
governments and with the understand
ing that its findings be binding and be

Police Force Suggested.
Should the Mexican officials fail to
agree to such a plan, or to establish
a government capable of affording
adequate protection to Americans, the
committee suggested that the United
States will send a police force, "con-
sisting of the naval and military
forces Of our government into the re-
public Of Mexico to open and maintain
open every line of communication be-

Maternity Protection
In Great Britain

For the protection of maternity
and infancy last year the British
Ministry of Health made grants
totaling over two and one-half mill
lion dollars, according to informa-
ton received by the Children's Bu-
reau of the United States Depart
ment of Labor.
Six years ago the necessity was
recognized of providing medical and
nursing care for mothers and babies
in order to reduce the high death
rates. The first year a small APP
preparation was granted but the re-
suits obtained were so encouraging
that the appropriations have been
greatly increased each year.
The funds are administered by
the Ministry of Health in co-opera-
ton with local authorities. The
local authorities appropriate a sum
equal to the amount granted by the
government. The service available
includes instruction in the hygiene
of maternity and infancy, midwifery
and maternity nursing, and hospital
and maternity home care.
In commenting upon the results
of the work done in England for
the public protection of maternity
and infancy, DR.. Christopher Add
son. Minister of Health, says: The
development of the services through
out the country in nursing, midwif-
cry and other facilities, and the

Why Farmers
Burn Corn

Washington, Nov. 13.-The burn
ing of corn for fuel, however, de-
plorable, may always be expected
When the price of corn goes so low
that it will not buy it's equivalent
in commercial fuel, according to DR..
H. C. Taylor of the department of
agriculture. Commenting upon re-
ports that middle west farmers
threaten to burn corn, because at
present prices it is cheaper for fuel
than coal, he said:
Farmers will not burn corn in
stead of coal unless they are driven
to it by economic necessity. If the
prices of farm products are adjusted
to pre-war levels no more rapidly
than are the prices of things the
counted upon to continue the course
it has taken for many years. But
if the price of farm products fail
and the prices of other things re-
main high, the farmer will be COM
PEELED to reorganize his business on
more self-sacrificing basis, pro-
duce more Largely to satisfy his own
wants, and give less attention to
production for the market. This
would result in a decline in the COM
mercial supply of farm products.
american farmers are steady
minded people, and they would not
precipitate the nation into such a
course from base motives. How
ever, if the rest of the nation fails
to appreciate the necessity of farm
prices having a satisfactory ratio
to other prices, farmers may be
forced to retrench to save their
homes and protect their families"

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER

| am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives of men;
Heart-weary of building and spelling,
And spelling and building again.
And | long for the dear old river,
Where | dreamed my youth away;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day.
l am sick of the snowy seeming
Of life that is half lie;
Of the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by.
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor,
| would go where the children play;
For dreamer lieves forever,
And a thinker dies in day.
l can feel no pride, but pity,
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor.
Let me dream as of old by the river
And be loved for the dream Away;
For a dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in a day.
