SECRETARY OF LABOR SAYS
AMERICAN PEOPLE EARN
AND DESERVE MORE
Labor Day Address Delivered AZ Oct
roit by Secretary Of Labor Davis
Is Heard BY Large Crowd;
Warns Employers
DetroIt. Mlch.-pedlcation Of Labor

Detroit, Mich.-Dedication of Labor
day, 1921, to the relief of the nations
unemployed was proposed by Secretary
of Labor Davis Monday in an address
"a the workers of Detroit.
I'm the past, Labor day has been
holiday in honor OF the man who tolls,
declared Secretary Davis. This year
It is year that millions of our people
would rather celebrate, not by taking
a holiday, but by going back to work
at job"
The dedication of the day to the re-
lief of the unemployed, estimated by
the labor secretary to number NEARLY
six Million" should carry with 1t, he
said n concerted effort on the part
of all Americans, be they employees or
employers" AS means of partial re-
lief, the secretary proposed the under
taking of public works the distribution
of work In mills" so that all may hav..
Jobs for at least part of the week"
above all we need to shake or Fear
and take on faith and courage" Mr..
Davis asserted "For the lack Of that
courage we are neglecting any number
of large undertakings that would give
n mighty shove to the great stalled en-
CINE OF American production"
The secretary in his address directed
message TO the employers of the ma
ton, declaring:
Don't set your wages by the hun
CRY crowd at the gate to your mill.
That Is only temporary wage. Dur
ing the war the pendulum swung over
10 the side of the employees. Now 1t
has swung back to your side. Play
fair now and you Will do more to
stabilize your business and bring good
feeling than anything else you can do.
Keep in mind the fact that those men
who are swarmlng around your gates
looking for work are the same human
beings as yourself. They have the
same aspirations for their families that
you have for yours Regulate matters
now for the future and play the part
OF far sighted wisdom"
To labor the secretary held out the
assurance that in spite of the occa'
sional 'hardboiled' employer no true
American business man entertains q
serious thought of crushing the work.

Opposition to the principle of the

Davis.

Los Angeles Limited Held Up Between

One Thousand Dollars

Salt Lake-The Los Angeles Lin
tied, No. Z. travelling from Ogden to
Salt Lake City, was robbed between
Clearfield and Roy. nine miles west OF
Ogden, by two masked and armed high
waymen shortly after 2 o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon.
The train. which Is scheduled to run
without stop between Ogden and Salt
Lake, was stopped by an automatic
block signal. The next moment the
two robbers boarded the observation
coach of the train. With revolvers
leveled they commanded the passen-
gers to hold up their hands.
While one robbed the passengers In
the observation coach the other bandit
proceeded to the other coaches, where
the male passengers were forced to
give up money and jewels.
The total amount of loot gained by
tho bandits II Is believed was at least
$1,000.
The robbers. according TO the pas
senSers. were In jovlal mood. The
passengers said that they joked with
them as they relieved them OF their be-
longlngs.
Women and children escaped the
robbers clutches, one Of the bandits
saying he had never robbed woman.
With robbery of practically all of
the male passengers completed, one of
the bandits pulled the cord and caused
the conductor. Robert Hayes. TO signal
for the train TO proceed to its destin-
alton
The two hlghwaymen then rode In
with the passengers they had robbed.
Shortly before reaching the north
yards of the Oregon Short Line the
robbers pulled the cord. bringing the
train to stop again. They alighted
near the establishment of the Morri-
n-Merrill Lumber company's yard.
While en- route to this city pas
senger, unbeknown to the robbers,
scrubbed note and threw II from II
window. 1t was to the effect that the
train had been held up. a railroad
employe picked the note up and imIned-
lately tclcphoned into the general Of
Ices here. As II result the officers
were in possession OF the fact that the
train had been held up before ii
reached It's destination.
With this In formation before them

OF alignment with the constructive
forces In the making. II would seem
almost futile to discuss values anC
earnings in a market under the com.
plete domination Of the professional
traders, but on closer study there are
found numerous encouraging signs in
the general situation which plainly
forecast better conditions before au-
tumn. The most hopeful sign is the
Administration at Washington to find
ways and means Of bringing immediate
relief to general business. President
Harding's emphatic stand in asserting
the necessity for a prompt revision Of
taxes, refunding Of debt and adjustment
Of foreign loans confirms our belief that
the first signal Of return In general
conditions would come from Washing
ton. This belief is further strength
ened in the railroad funding plan.
