his analysis of the Democratic and
Republican ticket leaders. They get
their Inspiration from the tombs- The
whole performance Is artificial
Were campaigning" says Debs.
1T believe / should dismiss most OF
the technical terms and speak In ths
clearest possible language
CT should say there can be no
change as long as a few people own
this country. it's industries and Its
resources. Take. for example. the
situation in my own town Of Terre
Haute. Terre Haute is surrounded By
coal, is built over a coal deposit, yoe
II is impossible to get coal at any
price. few owners have taken pos
session of coal mines. They say this
is ours and they have shut out the
people. The miners are at their
mercy and they cannot dig the coal
even to keep themselves warm. un-
less the mine owners give them p<os
m mission.
'"The people in this country have
not known what their Government
was doing in opposing the Russians.
1t was kept a very private secret until
il was revealed by the foreign dis
patches, and then Secretary of War
Baker was forced to confess that the
War Department had loaned 100000
900 on credit to the Polish government
on the basis of notes which are not
worth the paper they were written
on.
"He presented them with sec, 100000
worth Of American bacon which was
not available for the American peo-
ple-altthough bacon is 65 cents
pound at home-not available because
the Beef trust objected that 1t would
check the rise in prices. Millions or
dollars worth Of supplies, including
meat, were turned over to the French
and not brought home. because they
were afraid 1t might reduce prices
to the American people and SO cheek
the profits Of our trusts"
Debs brands the League OF Ma.
tions controversy a dishonest issue
and declared the "livest" question be-
fore the American public was the coal
shortage. He declares that while
shortage of cars was making 1t i'm
possible to meet the demands for coal
"Mr. Wilson has had made by special
executive order 1000 cars of special
design to aid the aristocracy OF Po-
land. crush the only genuine demo-
cratic government on the face OF the
earth"

ments which will replace speeches In

FOR BIG FIGHT
Records of Two Nominees
Being Analysed for Presenta-
ton to ToiIers.
NJ MILDRED MORRIS.
International News Service.

A comparison of the records OF
Benator Harding and Governor Cox
and their speeches OF acceptance.
analysed from labor's viewpoint. will
be made public by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor a few days before
Samuel Gompers delivers his Labor
Day speech In Columbus, Ohio.
The two events are being awaited
with interest in view of the talk In
political circles that officially, at
least. the Federation is supporting
the Democratic Party and its Presi-
Dental candidate.
Gompers' selection Of Ohio as the
scene OF his Labor Day address Is
the subject of comment here. Speak
ing before the Ohio State Federation
of Labor. he will FIRE the first big
volley in labor's political campaign,
and what he says. 1t is pointed out,
will take on added significance by
reason of it's utterance in the home
State Of the two leading Presidential
candidates.
cox SEEMS CHOICE.
Although IL is emphatically de
MED in labor circles that the Fedora
: tion is supporting any party or can
didate, 1t is admitted that its review
OF the records of the two leading
nominees for President will leave
clearly the conclusion that Governor
Cox will serve organized labor's in
terests better than his Republican
opponent, showing up under the Fed
eration's test as its friend
On the other hand, under the sa me
, test. Senator Harding by his public
activities and utterances, will be
shown out of sympathy with labor's
interests and in accord with the plat
form of his party, which an analysis
by the Federation, recently made
; public, declares embraces every op-
portunity to strengthen the concept
: OF coercion and repression of the
working people" and shows no re-
sponse ito the great underlying prin-
Ciples enunciated by labor for the pro-
lection of the rights and interests Of
the greta masses of our people"
The Democratic platform, says the
analysis, marks a measure of pro-
,Eress not found in the platform OF
the Republican party" and it's planks
"more nearly approximate the desired
declarations of human rights than do
the planks of the Republican plat
FORM"
OPPOSE HARDING STRIKE STAND.
Praise without reservation. it is
forecast will be given the Democratic
nominee in the forthcoming analysis
of the two parties presidential can
dldates. 1t is expected to accord him
the credit for the labor laws adopted
in Ohio during his administration as
governor-notable among which are
the workingmen's compensation act
and the mine run law--and reaching
the conclusion that there has been
nothing in his public record to criti-
cize from labor's viewpoint.
Among the black marks the anal
ysis will record against Senator Hard
ing will be his views on anti-strike
legislation and his vote on the con-
ference report on the bill now known
as the Cummins-Esch railroad law.
This conference report included pro-
visions making strikes unlawful.

HEALTH CONGRESS
T0BE HELD DEC. 6
First Regional Conference Will
Take Steps to Combat
Spread of Disease.

The first Of series Of regional
health conferences authorised by the
International Health Conference in
Cannes is to be held in this city De
cember to 13. 1t will be devoted
to a consideration of social diseases
which, according to conservative esti-
mates, constitute one Of the worlds
most terrible plaques.
The conference Is being organized
under the Joint auspices Of the Uni
ted States Interdepartmental Social
Hygiene Board. the United States
Public Health Service, the American
Red Cross and the American Social
Hygiene Association. Prof. William H.
Welch Of John Hopkins, has con-
sented to serve as president, and al
ready assurances have been received
that some OF the foremost physicians
and sociologists will participate.
Prominent health officers and sociolo-
gists from all parts of North and
South America will attend.
The conference will review past ex-
periences and existing knowledge as
to the causes, treatment and preven-
tion of social diseases. and will for
mulate recommendations relating to
a practicable three-year program for
each Of the North and South American
will make suggestions for putting
such programs into effect
In speaking of the proposed con-
ference, Surg. Gen. Hugh s. Cumming
Of the United States Public Health
Service, said THE United States Is In
the front rank Of the countries which
have organized against the great red
plague" and a consideration OF the
various measures which have proved
of value in different communities will
undoubtedly contribute much to fur
ther progress in the countries repre-
sented at the conference.
More than any other important COM
municable disease, the spread of the
great red plague" is inextricably
bound up in a mass OF social. econo-
mic, educational and recreational
problems. The success thus far at
tending the campaign against the So
cial disease Is due largely to the fact
that this interrelation has been recog-
nized and that the campaign has en-
listed the cooperation not only of
physicians and sanitarians, but Of So
biologists, judges, probation officers,
educators, the clergy and good citi-
gems generally"

CHICKENS
Miss Clabby, Retired After
80 Years Work, Loses
Home for Pets.
SMUGGLED THEM IN.
She's Tried Every Way,
Even Kept EN- In
Bureau Drawer.
SMUGGLED THEM IN.

You have a good position. and do
you sometimes wonder what will
happen to you when the day comes
and you can no longer work. Well
that has happened TO Miss Cathe-
rine l.. Clabby. Government clerk.
and seventy-nve years old.
What worries Miss Clabby equal
ly as much as losing her position
as clerk in the office OF Internal
Revenue. under the operation OF the
going to do with her chickens.
She would like to find a house to
rent room In where she won't
have to raise her chickens In .
bureau drawer. She must move
from her present domicile, 1918
Randolph street. Brookland. Sep
tember I, anyway.
Miss Clabby Is an active women.
despite her years, buxom. with
white hair, blue eyes and a kind
Irish face. and she likes chickeus.
And a world OF trouble she has had
in trying to keep them. First she
lived at the Government dormi
tories, building NO. She brought
three little chickens home, under
her shawl. And she kept them in
the bureau drawer. The matron
informed her that that was no
place for chickens. And out the
little chicks had to 60. Then she
moved to Brookland with her
chicks. but the landlady wouldn't
have 'em. So there you are. Now
where can Miss Clabby nnd a room
where she can keep chickens?
Miss Clabby left Camden, N. j.,
when Camden had mud roads and
the new schoolhouse had just been
built. That was thirty-five years
ago. She came to Washington with
her civil service papers and was
certified as a clerk in the auditors
office, Treasury Department. She
worked there about twenty-five
years and was transferred to the
office Of Internal Revenue. She has
been employed there ever since.
The other day Miss Clabby was
retired on a pension OF $51 a month.
The office took up a purse for her
of $1O5. Now everything will be
all right" says Miss Clabby, "if
can only find a place for my chick
ems"
Considering that the chickens are
the only folks Miss Clabby has in
the world, everybody in the office
hopes she will find a place.

Taxes collected by revenue agents
In Washington on account OF arrests
made OF sellers OF tonics, for the
month OF August. will amount to al
most 100000. II was learned at pro-
hibition headquarters today. The
agents have been very active In the
arrest OF grocers and delicatessen
dealers for selling several brands OF
tonics. with widespread vogue In
Washington, and during August have
made on an average OF three arrests
a day. Most of these were In the
northwest section.
The tonics, which have usually been
sold by druggists, II Is claimed by
the revenue officers. are being sold
by grocers. in violation of law. as
they are sold without a pharmacists
or internal revenue license, and with
out revenue stamps attached to the
bottles.
The agents have started a crusade
against the sale of new near beer
which they claim contains more than
the lawful amount of alcohol. The
beer has not been tested by the chem
lists of the bureau, however, so the
agents are not making arrests In
such cases, but are collecting data
which they will use II the bureau
fnds the product contains more than
the lawful amount OF alcohol.
The prohibition officials today were
loud in their praise OF the help rem
dered them in the past few days by
the Washington police department, es-
pecially in the search of the ship at
Alexandria yesterday.
Commissioner Kramer said that II
the prohibition officers throughout
the country could get the aid OF the
police of the different cities. the en-
forcement Of prohibition would be an
easy task and the letter Of the law
would be carried out.
