ST. JOSEPH. Mo-, April 1O.-Dr. II.

sity, in an address at the closing ses-
sion of the music supervisors ma
tional conference. said the eighteen
million Sunday school pupils of

jazz, soft soap, Bible paraphrases and
amorous melodic curves in music.
Through nondescript collection
of ill-snelling jazz, jungle and Juice.
we have been making children hot
blooded animals rather than sensitive
worshiping souls" he declared.
This is the fault of the Gospel
hymn today. 1t Is either a stock
taking of sins or 1t whisks one away
to gloryland vivace.

Labor Chief Calls Clans to Out

By MILDRED MORRIS.

Copyright, 1921. by International News
Service)
Organized labor, in the most mill
tant mood in its history. according
to leaders, g mobilizing for. an on
slaught on the Congress- which meets
tomorrow to demand the enactment
OF legislation demanded bv the work
ers and the defeat of all bills de-
clared Objectionable. '....
GOMPERS SUMMONS CLANS,
a program telling the new Con-
gress what labor wants. embodying
the demands of the 100000 work
ers affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the big Four"
railroad brotherhoods. will be drafted
at conference OF labor leaders to
be held here Tuesday at the call of
samuel Gompers, ii was learned to-
day.
'Restoration of human and consti-
:utional rights. was the answer Of
Samuel Gompers and other national
labor leaders here when asked the
question: What does labor want Of
the new Congress
The railroad unions are continuing
their fight for Government ownership
and democratic control of the rail-
roads, and their leaders will ask that
this be included in the labor program
to be presented to Congress as re-
suit Of next Tuesdays conference.
TO WAR ON HIGH COURT.
Legislation removing the "usurped
power of the Federal courts to de-
clare acts of Congress unconstitu-
tional." and restoring protection for
the trade unions as insured by the
Clayton act until the recent decision
of the United States Supreme Court
On the labor provisions. will consti-
tute the most important OF lsbor's de-
mands. according to leaders.
Among the things labor does not
want from Congress, leaders an
nounce, include compulsory arbitra-
tion in any form and n sales tax.
Samuel Gompers repears his warn
ing that the continued abuse of the
injunction power by the courts in
labor disputes" will result I'm the
fiat refusal on the part OF labor to
recognize or abide by the terms Of
injunctions which seek to prohibit
labor from the doing the acts which
they have a lawful and guaranteed
right to do"

PARIS, April 10.--Le Journal, CON-
menting today on cabled report
that President Harding is about I"
call an international conference a.
Washington to discuss commerce. tho

tion of reparations, which is already
settled by the Versailles treaty
Pertinax says:
1T is to be hoped that this rer orr

WILL NOT NAG
Democratic Chairman White
Promises Co-operation-Finds
G. 0. P. Backing Wilson.

Asserting the Harding administra-
tion had endorsed in the first month
practically all Of the Wilson ad-
ministration policies so bitterly as
sailed during the late campaign,
Democratic National Chairman
George White yesterday issued a
statement renewing the pledge not to
Indulge in naging criticism"
TEXT OF STATEMENT.
His statement picturing the Demo-
cratic party's readiness, however, to
capitalize any future Republican
errors, read as follows:
Conferences with members of the
Democratic national committee and
with Democratic members of the
House and Senate assure me that the
announced policy not to indulge in
-nagging criticism against the Admin
istration not only meets with the ap-
proval of the country, but has the
active support of Democrats every
where.
y I'VE are rapidly settling business
affairs of the committee left over
from the last campaign, and are now
preparing for enlargement of commit
tee functions, so as to render aid to
State committees, and supply infor-
nation to them and build up co-opera-
tive organization lines for future
campaigns.
GRATIFIED AT RECORD.
81 am deeply gratifed at the record
which has thus far been made by our
late political enemies, now the chiefs
of the nation, in that they have by
act indorsed the policies OF the pre-
ceding administration. which for
mefly they so bitterly assailed by
word.
ITO express this gratitude we re-
new our pledge to refrain from par
tsan Vaccinations to harrass and OBJ
struct. and reassert our purpose to
aid in every proper effort for the ma
tons welfare. The minority in Con-
CESS will help build constructive leg
islation, but will, of course, resist at
tempts to destroy good laws simply
because they had Democratic incep-
ton. l am sure that the Administra-
ton, with it's manifold and conflicting
obligations, will need support of ALL
and aside from purely organization ac-
tivity our efforts will be intended to
be helpful to the President.
"The record made in Congress will
establish the basis for future political
contests. We will not neglect oppor-
tunity TO assert the principles in,
which we believe and point out to our
Republican friends errors we think
they are making. and certainly will
take proper opportunity to show
these errors to the country

GEEKCLUE.TO
! FL|ERS IN LOG
Flight Records in Bag Of Re-
covered Naval Balloon May
\ Tell Fate Of Crew.

PENSACOLA, Fla, April 10.-In
the blurred. water-soaked log of the
naval balloon A-5559. found floating
in the Gulf of Mexico twenty miles
off Panama City. Fla, yesterday.
naval aviation officers hope to find
clue to the fate Of the five pas
sengers of the bag.
FEAR RECORDS BLURRED.
Word was received here iroia Capt.
Roy Ecker. of the motor sc.oon -
Electra, who found the debated oh'-
loon. that instruments and record,
recovered from the basket of the pis
gas bag we're being dried. but that ar
the log of the flight had been X spt
IN indelible pencil, much of il wol.d
be undecipherable.
The fate OF the crew of the balloon,
unless some clue Is found N the SOD
den log, will probably remain one %
the mysteries of the naval air esIv-
fice.
Thorough investigation into al
phases of the flight and it's tragic OFF,
come, is promised by officers OF th :
naval air station. How the huge oas
view of passing ships, the naval air
planes and water craft. which wen'
out to seek the missing airmen, w u
fbe one of the points stressed in III E
investigation.
STILL HOPE CREW SAFE.
Meanwhile. although naval officers
hold little hope that any of the hal
, loon crew could have escaped alive.
captains of coastwise vessels ueclar"
|, that the missing men may yet turn
up. They advance the possibility tar
the men may have been picked up ny
some slow sailing craft still on he
high seas bound for a Cuban or
South American port.
Search for the missing aviators has
been renewed with vigor. 1t Is
thought possible that the bodies of
some of the quintet can be found.
Orders for the dispatch of an eagle
boat to Panama City to bring back
the wrecked balloon to the air station
, were Cancelled late yesterday The
Electra, whose crew salvaged the bag
after three hours of heavy work. will
be allowed to bring in the wreckage
and deliver it to the navy authorities,
1t was said
PUT HOPE ON LOG.
A complete log of these practice
flights always is kept by the COM
manding officer. If this were avail
able, naval authorities said. a definite
line might be obtained on the local
ity where the men or their bodies
might be found.
The puzzling part of this newest
naval mystery, 1t was said. is the fact
that the big gas bag. basket attached.-
smust have foated for many days in
plain view on the surface Of the
water. Naval officers want to know
why one CT the naval air or water
lcraft's men could not have seen 1T IL
the men of the Electra did. There
was still gas in the bag when it was
found by the Electra. though it was
fast becoming exhausted and the bag
was about to sink.
