tional relations in this hemisphere
should be characterized by good will
and free from any possible suspicion
as to our national purpose.
The administration, remembering
always that Mexico is an independ-
ent nation and that permanent sta
bility in her government and her in
situations could come only from the
consent of her own people to gov
eminent of their own making, has
been unwilling either to profit by
the misfortuntes of the people of
Mexico or to enfeeble their future
by imposing from the outside rule
upon their temporarily distracted
councils. AS a consequence order is
gradually reappearing in Mexico. At
no time in many years have Amerl-
can lives and interests been as safe
as they now are: peace reigns along
the border and industry is resuming.
When the new government of Mex
I leo shall have given ample proof of
it's ability permanently to maintain
law and order, signified its willing
ness to meet its international OBJ
legations and written upon it's statute
books just laws under which foreign
investors shall have rights as well as
duties, that government should re-
ceive our recognition and sympathetic
assistance. Until these proper ex-
pectations have been met Mexico
must realize the propriety of a policy
that asserts the right of the United
States to demand full protection for
its citizens.
Comment: We are firmly of the
opinion that our republic should not
attempt to determine which laws shall
be enacted by the people of Mexico
and that our government should not
constitute itself a censor of the in
ternational obligations of Mexico
with relation to investors foreign in
that country. The splendid spirit
manifested in the first two para
graphs in the platform correspond
entirely with the demands of labor
with regard to Mexico and sets forth
policy of international morality in
keeping with the highest and best
concepts of Americanism.

A Hero Out of a Job

Years ago Private Archer Jen-
kins, U. S. A. had a job as hero but
he could not hold it. 1t slid out from
under him like a Peterboro canoe
from a summer boarder. When
General William C. Gorgas, who died
recently in England, was handed the
problem of freeing the Panama
Canal Zone from disease it was the
worst yellow fever plague spot in
the world with a nice side line of
blackwater, chagras and typhoid
fevers, pernicious anaemia, paludis-
mo and other cunning little all
ments.
One of the first things Gen. Cor
gas did was to call for volunteers
willing to be inoculated with these
diseases for the great physician was
compelled to learn what caused the
diseases and how to treat them be-
fore he could drive them out. Out
stepped bold Private Jenkins U. S.
A. with Is others and qualified right
away as a hero. Those volunteers
were real heroes, too, for they agreed
to face almost certain death, not in
the heat of battle with comrades
alongside and a chance to kill on
their own accout but in cold blood,
on a hospital cot, in horrible agony,
with no weapons but clinical Their
mometer and a prayer.
1t was the kind of a job that took
chilled steel courage, nerve, grit,
gameness, valor, bravery, daring,
fortitude, gallantry and valance.
And Private Archer Jenkins U. S.
A. had 'em. But after Private Jen-
kins had been vigorously bitten by
the 81 varieties of mosquitoes and
had been injected with every dis
ease culture on the list he was re-
jected.
He got an order relieving him from
detached duty with the Marine Hos
pital service and sending him back
to duty with his company which con-
sisted mainly in Juggling service
rifle up and down in front of obso-
lete machinery and yelling Sergeant
of the guard, post No. 3" which is
no way for a hero to talk. Archer
Jenkins was a hero but he could
not hold the hero's job because he
was immune. He could sit all night
in Is inches of jungle water with
the air full of miasma and insects
and never even contract habit.
There are a lot of would be-f inan-
cial heroes in this country who are
immune. They have the nerve to
work, they have the courage to earn,
some even have the CUTS to save but
they could not catch an opportunity
for safe and profitable investment in
life time of exposure. So while
they may get into the hero group
picture for a few minutes, sooner or
later they are back on the old job
walking slow in front of the obso-
lete machinery.
There is an easy way right now
| to tell whether you are immune or
not If you can earn and will save
and cannot contract financial indie
pendence through the opportunity Of
fered for safety and profit by Liber-
/ ty Bonds at present market prices
and by Government Savings Securi-
ties, you are immune and pretty soor
you'll be raising your voice for the
sergeant of the guard on Post No. 8

DECLARE WAR ON
LABOR UNIONS
Chambers of Commerce Affili-
ated With the L. $. Chamber
of Commerce SO Voted

From Labor" official organ of
the Plumb Plan League, published in
Washington, d. c., the following
Cheerful" news is taken:
Chambers of commerce affiliated
with the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States have voted to make
war on organized labor. The result
of referendum vote on the plat
form adopted at the Atlantic City
convention of the Chamber of Com
merce was announced in Washington
Friday, July 80. The program fol-
lows the lines enunciated by Judge
Ebert II. Gary, head of the steel
trust, at the close of President Will
sons first industrial conference in
October, 1919, when the represen-
tatives of organized labor withdrew
after their proposition for collective
bargaining had been defeated by the
negative vote of the employers
group.
The so-called open-shop policy is
adopted by an overwhelming vote,
only four local chambers voting
against it out of total of 1,679 par
ticipating in the referendum. If put
into effect it means these employers
will close their doors to union labor.
Another proposition which calls for
enactment of law prohibiting en-
ployes of public utilities, such as rail
roads, packing house plants, street
cars, telephone and telegraph, from
striking, was endorsed by vote of
1854 to 81. 1t seeks to tie all public
utility employees to their jobs and
would deny the constitutional right
Of protest in the form of strikes.
Judge Gary Endorsed
A proposition creating a tribunal
by law to adjust industrial disputes,
whose decisions would be final and
binding, was endorsed by a vote of
1871 to 100 against it. Only "a
votes were registered against a
proposition which seeks to exclude
outside groups or representatives
from participating in the settlement
of industrial controversies. This is
an endorsement of Gary's attitude in
refusing to confer with a committee
representing the street strikers. An
other proposition seeks to prohibit
municipal, state or national govern
mental employees from forming labor
unions. Only 10 votes We're cast
against this.
1t is said to have been the largest
referendum vote ever recorded on
any subject by the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States, between
l 900 and LOO local chambers par
ticipating.
Program Committee
The committee that prepared the
industrial platform for submission to
a referendum vote was composed of
William Butterworth, president Deere
& Co., Moline, ILL.,; Frederick j.
Roster, formerly president of the
San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce; Max W. Babb, vice president
Allis- Chalmers Manufacturing Co.,
Milwaukee; w. L. Clause, chairman
of the board, Pittsburgh Plate Glass
Co., Pittsburgh; M. J. Saunders,
shipping, New Orleans; Henry M.

turer, Charlotte, N. C.

enactment of Legislation excluding
from interstate commerce the pro-
ducts of convict labor.
Democratic Platform: Silent.
Labor's Demands: We demand the
repeal of the labor provisions of the
Cummins-Es law.
Democratic Platform: The Presi-
dents recommendation of return to
private ownership gave the Republi-
can majority full year in which to
enact the necessary legislation The
house took six months to formulate
| its ideas and another six months was
consumed by the Republican senate
in equally vague debate. AS con-
sequence the Esch- Cummins bill went
to the President in the closing hours
of congress, and he was forced to a
choice between the chaos of veto
and acquiescene in the measure sub
mitted, however grave may have
been his objections to it.
There should be 2 fair and com
plete test of the law until careful
ana mature action by the congress
may cure it's defects and insure a
thoroughly effective transportation
system under private ownership,
without government subsidy at the
expense of the taxpayers of the
country.
Comment: The platform calls at
tention to the fact that defects eX-
| ist in the Cummins-E sch law and
pledges the Democratic party to their
| rectification. Inasmuch as the rail-
roads are now under private owner
ship and operation and their en-
ployes no longer in government en-
ploy it will be observed that in the
/ third plank hereinbefore quoted the
Democratic platform declares that
ain private industrial disputes we
are opposed to compulsory arbitra-
ton as a method plausible in theory
but failure in fact"
Labor's Demands: We declare that
the congress of the United States
should take action to prevent the
federal courts from continuing the
usurpation of authority in declaring
unconstitutional acts passed by con-
gress.
We further urge that judges of all
federal courts shall be elected by the
people for terms not exceeding six
years.
Democratic Platform: Silent.
Labor's Demands: We declare our
unalterable opposition to any eX-
ercise of force by the United States
in compelling the Mexican people
to meet unwarranted and unjust
demands of those Americans whose
sole interest is the exploitation of
the people and the natural resources
of the Mexican nation.
Democratic Platform: The United
States is the neighbor and friend OF
the nations of the three Americans

SECOND INSTALLMENT

Labor's Demands Americanization
of those coming from foreign lands,
as well as our standards of educa-
tion and living, are vitality affected
bv the volume and character OF I'M
migration.
It is essential that additional legis-
lation regulating immigration should
he enacted, based upon two funda-
mental propositions, namely, that the
flow of immigration must not at any
time exceed the nations ability to as
simulate and Americanize foreigners
coming to our shores, and that at no
time shall immigration be permitted
when there exists an appreciate de-
gree of unemployment.
Democratic Platform: The plat
form is silent on the general sub
ject, though in relation to Asiatic
| immigration it says:
The policy of the United States
! with reference to the non-admls-
sion of Asiatic immigrants Is
true expression of the Judgment
of our people, and to the several
states whose geographical situa-
ton or internal conditions make
this policy and the enforcement
of the laws enacted pursuant
thereto of particular concern, we
| pledge our support.
Labor's Demands: We demand the
observance and enforcement of all the
federal maximum eight-hour laws
and their extension to comprehend
all civil departments of government
Democratic Platform: The plat
form refers to the passage OF the
eight-hour law under the Democratic
administration and further says:
Laws regulating hours of labor
and conditions under which la
! bor is performed, when passed
| in recognition of the conditions
under which life must be lived
to attain the highest development
and happiness, are just asser-
tions of the national interest IN
the welfare of the people.
Labor's Demands: We favor the
enactment of a more comprehensive
federal compensation law which Will
embrace all workers who cannot be
provided for by state compensation
laws, and we demand that workmen's
COMPENSATION laws be amended to
provide more adequately for those
incapacitated by industrial accidents
or occupational diseases.
Democratic Platform: Under this
administration was passed the Work
ingmen's Compensation Act, the eX-
tension of which we advocate so as
to include laborers engaged in load
ing and unloading ships and in inter-
state commerce.
