GOMPERS SAYS

WOULD KEEP THE
CHINESE OUT

QUEBEC. Aug. 1o.-Labor has
halted the shock troops OF its enc
mics" Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation OF Labor,
yesterday declared in an address be-
fore the annual convention of tho
International typographical Union.
Referring to the sacrifices Of labor
during the war, Mr.. Gompers said:
THAT fight transformed the men
of labor and gave them a new con-
cept of their position. They know
their worth. They know that with
out them civilization would perish
from the face OF the earth"
Mr.. Gompers told the convention
attempts to break down the Chinese
exclusion act by Hawaiian interests
had been stopped by the opposition
Of labor. but said that he was not
going to take anything for granted
until the matter was ''unquestion-
ably dead" The attempt TO get Chi
nese labor into Hawaii, he said, was
only a forerunner OF attempts 70 in
troduce It into the United States.
Discussing strikes now going on in
some cities over the forty-four-hour-
week proposition OF the Topographic
cal Union, Mr.. Gompers said that
matter had been agreed upon, add
ing:
II had expected the publishers to
be good sports and stand by their
bond. but they have not"
The labor chief in conclusion ap-
proved the Washington Diaarrna-
ment Conference. but contended that

4 Half Billion For Railroads

President Hardlng's plan to allow
the War Finance Corporation to
raise the half million to pay the rail-
roads instead OF taking 1t from the
United States Treasury meets with
the approval OF the press Of the
country. Even those newspapers
which consider that to refund the
debt through a federal body is get
ting "the government into business
approve OF the plan as the best way
out OF bad situation, for all agree
that until the buying power Of the
railroads Is restored. general pros
perity will be deferred.
The New York World (demo-
cratic). an active critic Of the ad-
ministration. declares that the Pres
ident's message advises such 4
plunge OF the Government into bust
ness as has never been known before
for a time of peace" but admits that
this plan is better in this regard than
the various measures to which a
foundering and leaderless Congress
sional majority is giving loose rein. -
Looking at the plan for financing
the railroads as Something more
than the outline of a railroad pol-
icy" the Baltimore News (indepen-
denD, perceiyes in It indication that
"it has actually become impossible
to withdraw the government any
further from business" and concludes
that the Continued life" OF the War
Finance Corporation is proof OF the
tenacity with which the public will
cling to any system OF governmental
aid after its immediate justification
has passed.
While the Cleveland Plain Dealer
independent democratic). acknowl-
edges such objections exist, II feels
that: There appears a demand for
emergency relief from so many
sources that the suggestion OF the
President is doubtless better than
the idea OF establishing special finan-
cial organizations for dealing with
individual industry that may de-
mand governmental assistance"
That "the plan is not ideal" is the
opinion OF the Syracuse Post-Stand
ard (republican), which adds, how
ever, that "it is doubtless the best
available" and without laying a
new pipe line TO the Treasury. al
ready drained, Il will supply the
railroads with money they must
have to operate efficiently and eco
nomically."
Tho New York Globe Cindepen-
dent). takes a somewhat similar
view. It says: The immediate
practical advantages OF this pro-
cedure ought to be considerable. for
the expenditure Of half a million
dollars by the roads would lessen
unemployment somewhat and slim
ulate business. II may well be the
best plan under the circumstances
But It will not take the government
out OF the railway business. II is far
more likely TO pull the government
in even more deeply"
For the most part, however, the
newspapers give their support to
Mr.. Harding's measure. The Wall
Street Journal independently, re-
marks that his proposals "for deal
ing with the critical condition OF the
railroads" illustrate "the country's
good cabinet" The Topeka Journa'
Independent republican,. also con-
siders that the step indicates that
there "is business man in the

The work Of the state association.

The work Of the state association
has been chiefly educational, conducted
for the most part through the schools
IF the State. The Missouri plan Of
work has yielded results unsurpassed
in any other State despite the lack Of

From 1911 to 1919 the death-rate
from tuberculosis decreased more
rapidly in the State outside of st.
Louis and Kansas City than in these
cities. In rural Missouri the fight con-
Quoted against tuberculosis has been
almost exclusively educational. This
fact reveals the effectiveness of health
education in the schools and estab-
