LABOR DELEGATES HERE
PLAN TO FIGHT RADICALS
Conferees Also Contemplate Cam
paign Against Anti-Labor
Agencies.

Plans for national campai gn
against all anti-labor agencies, move
ments and Legislative action are being
formulated today at a meeting of the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor at the federatio
building.
The meeting today resolved itself
into a virtual caucus to map out a
program which will be presented to
the heads of 100 international labor
unions and the four railroad brother
hoods at meeting tomorrow.
The primary battle will be fought
against radical propaganda, which is
said to be seeping into the labor
movement in various parts of the
country, particularly the west A
publicity campaign against such
propa ganda and in favor of the
standing together of employers and
unions in fight on bolshevism in
the United States is contemplated. it
was said, by labor official today.
1t also was stated that a request to
have the United States Supreme Court
rehear the case of the Duplex Printing
Press Company. in which the Interna
tional Association of Machinists was
restrained from conducting secondary
boycott. is being considered. The COM
mittee from the United Mine Workers of
America will go before executive Off
Gals this afternoon to discuss the Hitch
man decision, now three years old. but
coming into prominence as a support for
anti-labor agitation.
The Hitchman case was based on the
fact that the mine workers issued
charter to a group of workmen holding
individual contracts. which stipulated
that they would not join union. Means
to secure legislation which will prevent
any repetition of the Hitchman stua-
ton featured today's discussion.

BOOSTS CAMPAIGN
FORLAW AND ORDER
Wayne Wheeler Tells Ne;
qroes Slack Enforcement
Hurts Them Most.

strong appeal for a nationwide
campaign for law and order was made
by Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League. at the opening
session today of the fourth annual con-
vocation of the school of religion OF
Howard University. The exercises Will
conclude Thursday night.
The colored race" Mr. Wheeler Sald
has more at stake in law enforcement
than any other people. There is no
excuse for either white or black man
to violate the law But the negro has
an added motive for standing against
lawlessnesS. He has been the victim
of lawlessneSs and mob law for years
Mr.. Wheeler explained that the white
man resorts to lynch law with the en-
Cuse that by doing so he is preventing
further outrages on the part of the
negro degenerate who commits "un-
speakable assaults If a negro COM
mits a crime while engaged in the
criminal trade" of bOotlegglng. or
while engaged in "outlawed business.
he said. he has no right to complain
when the white man. outraged at some
vicious assault, takes the law in his
own hands for another unworthy pur-
pose.
Mr.. Wheeler deplored the fact that
the House of Representative Will be
requested to adopt d deficiency appro-
priatiOn bill to cut down the law en-
forcement department the last three
or four months of the current year,
on the ground that more than 400 pro-
hibition enforcement agents will lose
their positions This will be bad
business because the government has
spent money for these men to gather
the evidence" he asserted 'and by
their discharge the cases will be lost
in the courts. 1t is a bad policy be-
cause this action will discourage the
morale of the law enforcement divi-'
sion and encourage every lawbreaker
in the land. 1t is bad politics because
the new administration will have the
law enforcement machinery on its
hands at the beginning without ade-
quate funds to make it effective.
what We need in the United States
is a great campaign for law and
order. We are all laying great stress
be no let-down on this point. There
is an urgent need. however, for a
great emphasis on the patriotic duty
OF obedience to law. The negro cit
izen has the most to gain. and should
by his example. and influence uphold
the majesty of the law"
Speeches also were made at the
opening session by Dean Butler Pratt
of Howard University and Rev. w. o.

A. NJ E. Zion Church. j. Stanley
Durkes. president of the university.

The sessions this afternoon and
evening will be addressed by Com
missioner Boardman, Rev. Paul Moore
of Rochester n. Y: Rev. William n.
DeBerry, assistant moderator of the
National Congregational Council. and
Rev. Julius S: Carroll. pastor of the
Asbury NJ. E. Church. The convoca-
tion sermon will be preached at the

of three thicknesses of brick and is
of circular design, having a diameter
of nine feet. The top of the conduit,
for the greater part of it's length.
lies four feet beneath the surface of
the ground. 1t is understood to be
the general plan of Superintendent
Hardy to use a wooden fume in any
break which might occur in the con-
duit, until permanent repairs could
be made.

the danger of delaying action in the
matter.
Time Required for Work.
In his report on the Great Falls
nroiect, which the federal power COM
mission, consisting of the Secretaries
of War. Interior and Agriculture. has
=
astimates the additional conduit and
filtration plant proposed will require
minimum of two and a half years
for building. Other engineers doubt
n the work can be finished under
three or four years.
IT is because of the fact that Wash
inpton. under the most favorable con-
djtions, will have to depend for at
Ieast two and a half years longer on
the present overtaxed and obsolete
conduit that Secretary of War Baker
has asked for an emergency appro-
priation for starting work on a new
conduit with the least delay possible.
That government officials view the
situation with apprehension has been
brought forcibly to the attention of
Congress- and it was considered likely
today that the lawmakers at the Cap
itoI would give serious consideration
to including the Secretary's recon-
M endation in one of the appropriation
bills remaining to be acted upon.

infinitely much have the civilized people still
to learn from the heather East!
TO all his other tragic trials there is added
unto the Emperor that of mastering English
grammar. That and rudiments of other
Western learning are the subjects of his in
struction by the foreign tutor. The Emperor
is said to be intelligent lad, without the
signs of decadence Of the last generations of
his house. He has an eager curiosity con-
cerning modern, and especially Western, in
stitutlons and aspects of life Thus he plies
his tutor with naive questions: How do for
eigners live what are their houses like. what
do they eat, what are their amusements.
why arc so many of them unmarried and
why do they marry so late, when twelve to
sixteen is the age proper to betrothal and
sixteen to twenty proper to marriage? Also
he is reported to be surprisingly modern in
his ideas, especially of government; ideas
widely radical to those who have preceded
him and even now surround him. And what

the revolution took place in 1911 the
DYNASTY was not overthrown. The EN-
peror-that is, the regent-proclaimed a
republic in obedience ''to the mandate of
Heaven" and the will of the people and or
dered a president to WELD the rule of the
pire and constitution to be drafted. Al
ways the paradoxical, the fantastic, the
unique touch of the East!
So Emperor and Son of Heaven he remains
by consent of the republican government and
the Chinese people. And in the little corner
of the Forbidden City, the tiny spot that is all
that is left to him of the Middle Kingdom, he
holds his court as did Kang Hsi and Chen
Lung, his great ancestors, two Of the greatest
ronarchs known to history. The old court
ceremonial is still performed and all the old
ritual enacted, though shorn of the glory of

is still the procession Of his advisers and his
ministry to give counsel on the conduct of
the realm Tradition enforced early rising
on the Chinese emperors. They held their
counsels of state between and o'clock in
the morning 1t was the pleasant theory that
the emperor, shepherd Of his flock, was too
pressed with its care to have time or desire
for sleep. The tradition was obeyed. The
court sat before sunrise, then slept till early
afternoon. Thus tight are the bonds of tradi-
ton and convention in China, and thus easy
it's evasion.
The gorgeous robes Of olden time are still
worn and the nine kotows performed. The

fortunes of the imperial
house.
One insistent modern
note has entered. The
boy emperor has a for
eign tutor, R. F. John
ston, a British subject,
formerly one of the
British consuls. Every
human being with whom
the emperor has contact
app oaches him on his
knees and prostrates
himself. When the for
eign teacher enters the
imperial presence it is
the emperor who bows
and remains standing
until the teacher is
seated. In China from
time immemorial only
one man has been en-
titled to claim respect
from the ruler. That is
his teacher. To him the
emperor even makes
obeisance. Such has been
always and still is the
nations reverence for
learning. Let them who
come to convert the
heather Chinaman from
lands where the teacher
is paid less than the
street cleaner and re-
spected not much more
always bear that in
mind. How much, how
