M 'ADOO SPEAKS ON THREE MAIN TOPICS
 BEFORE THE PUBLIC
Pays Respects to Labor, Pro- hibition and the League of Nations in Speech At
 Syracuse
By Associated Press

Syracuse, N. Y, September Civilian G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury, discussed labor, the League of Nations and prohibition in a Labor Day address here today.
 Referring to the League of Nations, the former Secretary said
 Those who contend for the league don't insist as to it's form. They do in- sist that the great principle which gives it vitality and force shall not be emas- culated by subterugeS put forward by a cabal in the Senate, which was more interested in promoting war because the men who control the republican party are more interested in promoting wars than in promoting peace. We can de- stroy war if we can forget politics and have the courage and confidence to do t.'
 MT. McAdoo said his convictions re- garding labor were confirmed by his ex-
 periences while railroad administrator. Some of them were:
 That the eight-hour day is a basic principle of our social and economic sys-
 tenn; that labor organizations have a
 right to existence; that their suppression or oppression does violence to modern
 thought and progress; that the right of
 collective bargaining must be conceded
 to labor organizations; that they have as much right to be entitled as their employers to be represented by agents
 of their own choice; that agreements made by labor organizations impose upon
 them just as sacred obligations as they
 impose upon the employer; that wages should be sufficient to provide living for each worker and his family and en- able him to lay aside fund for old age and emergency and that women should
 be paid at the same rate as men for
 similar employment.
 Prohibition, he said, would be a biz factor in raising the standard of living
 of the workingman to a higher level and also increase his earning capacity
 'To permit the sale of light wines and
 beers,' he said, lis to open the door ot prohibition, a crack, and once the door is opened that far it would soon be opened wider."

 Senator Harding was characterized as nice respectable gentleman" by . MT. Gompers. But what else?" he asked The most conspicuous thing about Harding" he continued, 'has been inactivity in everything conserva- tive and his activity in everything re- actionary."
 Gompers gave spirited answer to an assertion made recently to Senator Harding by William J. Burke, repub- liean Pennsylvania congressman and labor leader, that no one could deliver 5 the labor vote.
 No one knows that better than l." said Mir Gompers. "I have no votes to
 
 all."
 Mir. Gompers defended the League of Nations and characterized Congress as a Congress of negation." The Esch- Cummings act he declared, would . create industrial slavery. The Central Division Naval Band, here on a recruiting campaign, was the cause of a controversy in this mornings parade that had to be set tied by MT. Gompers.
 It was said at the local recruiting offices arrangements had been made : for the band to lead the carpenters. Local band men would not march, they said, if the naval bandmen were per mitted.

Naval Bandmaster Moravec refused to take part, regarding the ruling as initiating He was upheld by the car penters, who also refused to participate.

 to Be Called
By Associated Press

Chicago, September 6.-Senatorial investigation of presidential campaign expenditures will be resumed here to- morrow with b. H. Moore, personal representative of Gov. James M Cox, called as the chief witness before the Senate subcommittee when it recon venes after a four-day recess. MT. Moore, manager of Governor |Cox's preconvention campaign, was sent here last Thursday by the nominee with data which he announced would prove that republican leaders had openly boasted they had devised a fund raisin 8 plan which would bring in at least $16, 6,000,000 for the campaign fund" ;; This plan, Governor Cox declared in ; campaign speeches, was known as i form 101," and was devised by Harry M. Blair of the office of Fred w. Up ham, republican national treasurer. Fol lowing Governor Coxs statement con- cerning it, MT. Upham declared form 101" never had been put into effect. MT. Moore has announced he is pre- pared to furnish the committee facts and not merely supply leads, although he said he would also furnish plenty of the latter in the form of names of men
  tails concerning the republican fund raising plans"
 AS specific instance of the amount of money being raised for the repub- lican fund, MT. Moore said tonight he would prove that in a western state "one republican leader raised more than $100,000 single handed, although the quota announced for this state, given by MT. Upham in his testimony before the committee, was only about $25, GOO"
 More than a dozen persons have been subpenaed by the committee as a re- suit of documents already placed in the hands of the committee by MT. Moore, among them MT. Blair.
 Republican leaders tonight declined to comment on the statement issued here last night by Governor Cox. in which he asked if the republicans Knew anything of a conference held in local hotel at which Chicago coal dealers were assessed $80,000." J. K. Dearing, one of the men mentioned by the governor, today denied such a con ference was held, also saying he had been forced personally to run around among coal dealers and pry loose money for the campaign fund.
 He obtained $1S.000 to $20,000 in this way, he added. MT. Deering said he turned this money over to MT. Upham, but the latter today refused to discuss the matter.
 Issuing the subpenas for mon mem toned by MT. Moore, has been turned over to Senators Pomerene and Reed, but as neither was in town tonight, it was impossible to learn just what per- sons have been summoned.

Poor Telephone Service.

Universal complaint of the ineffi-
cient telephone service in this city is
being made. When an increase of
rates was put in effect, it was natur-
ally expected that the service would
be improved accordingly. Instead, the
service has been getting worse and
worse until it is simply "rotten" now.
One business man said the other
day he would rather walk six blocks
to talk to party than to undergo the
vexatious delay and inconvenience in
cident to telephoning. The wretched
service has about reached the limit Of
endurance.
