International Commits sion Advises Changes in Laws That Will Prevent Breaking Up Homes and Disap- pOintments for Many.

The International Emigration Com mittec, composed of represent atiVcs of II nations, which has been in scs- sion in Geneva, Switzerland, has ad- journed after adopting a number ot important resolutions, according to q cable received by Ernest Greenwood American representative of the inter national labor office.
 The most important of these rcSo- lutiOns, from an American viewpoint is one which recommends the instit.l- ton of a thorough examination of cmigrants at the port of emDarka- ton. This might well be accepted as a first step toward the only apparent solution of certain pl loblems conncc-- ed Witli the adminl 5.ration of Amer ican immigration laws
 It has long been recognized by inn migration authorities that the only way to eliminate the hardship in volved in tens of thousands Of cases caused by rigid enforcement of the exclusion clauses of the law, is in spcction at the source. In a major ity of the cases, the immigrant ap- plies for admission to the United States after o72o of his journey has been completed. The first experience of himself and his family with the United States immigration service is at the end of the journey, instead Of at the beginning. The family may have sold all it's possessions and cut loose from all it's ties in the old coun- try. It's return to Europe is frequent ly only return to life of reprcsSlve and intolcrable poverty. It has liter ally nothing to which to return.
 In 1920 the secretary of labor made the following recommendation 10 the President and future Congress of the United States:
 "Ad justments in cooperation with other governments whereby intending emlgrantS from countries across the seas may apply for admission 10 this country before breaking up their foreign homes, and upon such appli- cation may secure the same benefits ials, certificates by public health offic- that are now available to them only upon arrival at our ports. A model method is in operation between this country and Canada under which no intending immigrant from Canada need break up his Canadian home un- til his case has been decided in his favor by the final American author ity."
 In the same way, the commissioner general of immigration, in his report for I0Io-I92o, states:
 'Provision should be made for the exercise of authority to be vested in the department of state and the de partment of labor so that the enforce ment of the immigration laws might be secured at the source of much of the then expected increase in immi- grafton, this not only to meet the

WEALTH OF NATION
 RAPIDLY FLOWING
 INTO FEWER HANDS
New York Economist Declares United States Is Imperilled by
 Concentrated Fortunes.

COntending that history records that the decline of civilization in a nation gains with wealth concentration, Henry H. Klein, first deputy to the Commis- sioner of Accounts of New York City, has prepared and published "Dynastic American and Those Who Own It," a book Tn which he treats circumstantially the tendency of the wealth of this nation to gravitate rapidly into fewer hands.
 The work IS dedicated to those 'who believe in constitutional government of, for and by the people" The author de- Clares 1t to be his deliberate conviction he terms the menace of private for tuneS,' and he advocates an amendment to the Federal Constitution that will limit what ''an individual may have and stin- ulate worthy ambition"
 More than 40 families in the United States, 1t is stated, have in excess of SlOO,OOO,OOO each. More than 100 other families have Ill excess of $50OOO,OOO each. More than 300 other families have in excess of S2O0OOOOO each.
 The list of those who possess more than $l,OOO,OO0 each is too large to mention," the author declares It has been increased many thousands during the past few years, war being a great factor, in wealth concentration. Un- less something is done the nation will soon be divided into two classes - mil l1ona1res or near r-millionaires on one hand and paupers on the other
 Durlng recent years more than 175 persons have died leaving estates valued at between $36O,000,OOO and $1OOOOOOO More than 500 decedents left estates worth between $5O0OOOO and $1O,OOO,- GOO. The list of those who died in the present generation leaving between $1,- 100000 and $5,OOO,OOO, the author de clares, is too long to print It contains several thousand names.
 Excessive private wealth." it is de- clared. lis in the hands of the third, fourth and fifth generations, who exert ed little or no effort to obtain it."
 The worlds richest man, it is popu- !arly believed, is John D. Rockefeller His wealth is estimated at $2, 40O,OOO,OOO. He IS worth $1,000,000,O0O in oil alone.

|. representative for the district and is we'll known in New Haven and all over the New England jurisdiction ot the International Typographical uniOn.)
 From Sunbury in the Sixteenth dis triCt of Pennsylvania came to Con- gross the Hon, 1. Clinton Kline, one Ot the most useful of the Keystone delegation in the lower House
 On July 20, 1921, the Fordney tar if bill was under debate in the House of Representatives. MT. Kline had much to say, but he did not get the chance to say it all on the floor, SO he made up the lost ground in the Con- gressional Record of July %, when on Page 4,627 he took as his text the quotation from the Book of Isaiah which reads Come now, and let LIS reason together"
 And it was a good speech from a protective tariff standpoint that Mr. Kline made in the Record, even if he did assert that as a result of the pas sage of the Underwood tariff "bread- lines were started and 100000 men became idle"
 For Texas Circulation.
 The Fordney tariff was also the
 
 in the Record of July 28 by the Hon. Eugene Black of Texas, who, start ing on Page 4,763 and stopping one page and a half further on, asserted that the republicans are "constantly pointing to figures of imports into the United States and saying, Now look what your Underwood tariff went and done'"
 "Mr. Speaker" said the gentleman from Texas on Page 4,7o5, "nearly three years have passed since the ending of the World War-that tragic drama which convulsed the world and dug at the very roots of civilization, In this mighty convulsion thrones were overturned, empires fell and be- came as the dust of the desert"
 The Hon. Charles R. Crisp of the Third district of Georgia is son of the late Speaker Crisp and is one of the most popular men on the minority side of the aisle. But, like a whole flock of his colleagues of both par ties, Mir. Crisp does not always do his talking on the floor of the House. For instance, in the Record of July 10 he warned the nation that flaw, order and civilization throughout the world are today hanging over seethlng VOlCdnO -Que 10 excessive tdNdt1O1l and other evils that are the aftermath of war. It's all on Page 4,I25-26 of the Record of July 10, and the reason for the forensic outburst was the resolution that bears the nafle of ldaho's famous Senator.
 The Hon. John Q. Tilson appears to have harbored a grudge against the. New York Times and some other New York newspapers at some time between the hour of noon and 5 p. m. of July 2I last, although he did not express himself on the subject until 10 days later. The text was the tariff, and the place to find the speech is on Page 1850 of the Record of August l.
 As one well-known public man eN- pressed it the other day, fits great paper, the only one in the world where you can address the folks with out uttering a single word"

ChildLaborLaw
 Declared Invalid
Court in North Carolina Declares Invasion of State
 Rights.

Greensboro, N. C., Aug, 26-Judge James E. Boyd, in federal court, this week held the new federal child labor law unconstitutional. The OWen- keating child labor law was also held unConstitu- tlonal by Judge Boyd two years ago and that ruling was upheld by the supreme court of the United States
 The opinion was rendered in the case ot the Vivian Spining Mills of Cherry- dale, N. C., who asked an order restrain ing J. w: Bailey. collector of internal revenue, from enforcing the act. The law lmpoesd federal tax of 10 per cent on the profits derived from products on which child labor was employed
 The decision recalled the case of Ham, ner vs. Dagenhart, in which the supreme court held the OWen-Keating child labor law unconstitutional and says: "The present child labor act is an effort on the part of Congress to standardize labor in the state, which right is reserved by the state"

FAIR SHARING OF WEALTH IS URGED
 BY A CLERGYMAN
No Longer a Question of How the Other Half Lives,"
 He Says.

It is no longer a question of how the other half lives, Rev. James Meyers, of New York, told the layman's conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, the other day. It is a question of how does the other 85 per cent live? That question, he insisted, should be giv ing churchmen a good deal of concern at this time.
 'The mission of religion to the pres ent disturbed social order IS not so much a message to the poor to respect the sacredness of the property rights of the rich. although 1t is that also, as 1t Is message to the rich in the name and spirit of Jesus Christ to bring about more brotherly distribution of wealth, health, joy and freedom in the world" declared Rev. Meyers
 This can not be done by charity, the speaker said "Wealth," he continued can be reappOrtiOned in a brotherly way its production. by the granting of a truly living wage. by voluntary decrease in the interest expected for the use of Capi- taly. and by a very material increase III the financial rewards paid to human be- ings for their labor of hand or brain v
 "Is 1t brOtherly that the financial bur den of life should bear down the hard est upon those who have the least? Is it brotherly that poor man should have to pay the highest prices for all of the necessities of life? Is 1t brOther1y that the day laborers pay should stop the minute he gets sick and has to stay at home. while the hieher-paid officials of the company. although able to stand the financial strain of sickness, have their salaries continued to them as long as they are i'll? Is 1t brOtherly that the highest profits of the real estate business should be commonly derived from teeming tene- ments. the least desirable aCcOmmoda- tions in the whole city, where the poorest people have to live ,"
 The church. Rev. Meyers stated, is untrue to its mission as long as it ac ~epts these injustiCeS.

JUDICIAL VETO WHOLLY WITHOUT
AUTHORITY IN THE CONSTITUTION

responsible, "infalliblc odd man" on
the court changed his vote overnight
and reversed the decision which fol
lowing the precedent of 100 years
had reaffirmed it. Can irresponsi-
BILE and unauthorized power go fur

1t has never been alleged that
there is a line in the constitution
which confers this power upon the
court. If THERE IS SUCH, LET
1T BE POINTED OUT AND 1T
WILL END THE CONTROVERSY.
The only reply has been that the
court has repeatedly upheld the de-
cision made in Marbury VS.. Madison.
But 100 times zero is zero still
and as the original decision was
without authority its repetition can
not give it any added force. Con
gress denied the court such power
in the "McCardle" case and the
court held that it had no power tC

The government of this country
should be confined to its people, tc

Next Monday will be Labor Day.
This holiday will be more gen
orally celebrated in the United
States and Canada than ever be-

While celebrating it will be well
if you do some serious thinking

Labor, like the soldier and sailor,
has made many sacrifices on the
altar of patriotism to find thank
less country as judged by the acts
of the servants Of the whole peo-
pie.
The soldier and sailor have been
compelled to wait recognition Of
services to their country until that
class of citizens who made nothing
bat profits out Of their country's
misfortunes have been given all
they demand and much more than
they deserve.

PAINTERS AND
GOVERNOR HART

The world is full of homes,
thickly represented in cities and
more scattered in the country.
1t feels good to go home nights
after work. or rather any time
We feel safe at home either with
our parents, brothers or sisters OF
with our wife and children; and at
times we feel the great blessing
of home and realize how happy
we are to have a home.
Did you ever in those moments Of
happiness think about the thou
sands who are so unfortunate as not
to have a home; the thousands who
for some reason or another are
turned loose in the great world
and are denied the happiness of &
home?
Did you ever give it a though
that people, old and young, people
just like you and me, are cruelll
turned loose for some small mind
ed reason? And that in our well
educated and civilized world
AS a rule people having a home
and resting easily in a soft chai'
or eating a good meal or sleeping
in a soft bed don't bother about
these things-it makes them UNI
comfortable.
They don't want to think of the
cries that float in the air of the
thousands that are stranded and for.
saken by the civilized world anC
are suffering just because thosc
millions who are fortunate enough
to have homes and feel happy for.
get about their brothers and sisters
in distress.
The only reason that thousands
and millions are unhappy is thai
the great majority of the world.
inhabitants are thoughtless anC
too lazy to think about the un.
happiness Of others. Those thai
are turned loose suffer for the
shortcomings of the great majority
If the great mass thought, they
could prevent most of the suffering
If Governor Hart had ever thought
or taken the trouble to wake VI
out of his dream of laziness he
would never have vetoed the bill
which appropriated funds to hell

belongs to the great majority, the
sleeping majority.
The members of Painters Unior
No. 500 understood all this and de
cided to give each and all a share
of their labor to support one Of
these institutions stricken from the
list by Governor Hart.
We wonder if our Governor evel

If he had he would never have
vetoed that bill
Well thinking people cannot un-
derstand that a man elected to the
highest office in this State can be
so cold booded and ignorant as to
withdraw money paid by the citi-
zcns of the State for the purpose of
taking care of the forsaken; for
saken only through so-called civili-
cation; and use this money for the
purpose of making people more
sleepy and forgetful.
Did you know that there was
such an institution as the Washing
ton Girls Home in Everett, away
out on Colby, the last house, just
where the Seattle car turns into
the woods?
Between 80 and 40 girls and
children are taken care of in this
house. 1t is the finest institution
you have ever seen.
But do you know that they have
to depend on charity?
Do you know that small num-
Der of high minded, wide awake
people go around begging for these
young girls and children?
Begging to treat them, house
! them and feed them?

Under the present conditions or
ganized labor cannot do any better
than help with their labor.
And ORGANIZED Labor does no
consider this charity.
Labor is glad to be able to give
labor and considers it great priv
ilege.
The members of the Painters
Union should not wait to do thei

work to do.
