HARDING REVIEWS
MEADE SOLDIERS;
PLEADS FOR PEACE
More Than Thousand in
Training Parade on
Ellipse.

Voicing the belief that the soldier
of today Is solely for defense. Pres
ident Harding yesterday told l.1Oo
officers and mem of the citizens
military training camp at Camp
Meade, passed in review on the
Elippse. that they were citizens of
nation devoted to peace and that
the nation is only concer ned witn
peace and its national security.
The spectacle presented by the
citizen soldiers brought h arty con-
gratulations from the President, who,
with Secretary OF War Weeks, Cen,
Pershing and other high officials.
reviewed the soldiers.
Il congratulate you with all my
heart" the Executive said. You
have benefited today as all Amer
leans might benefit; you have prof
tied as well as your country by
leaving aside the usual vacationas
engagements and devoting your
summer to study OF military
tactics.
You will be interested to know
that the volunteer citizens training
movement last year enlisted about
900 recruits. This year there were
2S, 900 of you. II 1 could have my
wish this number would increase un-
til more than 100000 annually were
studying and preparing for armed
service: not that we ever expect you
to be called upon for such service,
but solely for national defense and
the preservation of the government
by the law under WHICH we all live
You know modern soldiery is very
different from that of nearly all the
history of the world. In olden times
those who were the professional
soldiers compensated themselves by
the pursuit of war. Our soldiery of
today Is solely for national defense
and the preservation of that govern
ment under which we live.
There is new assurance; there is
new confidence: there is new belief
in the perpetuity of this American
republic when one can stand as
have stood this morning and note
such company of ready volunteer
| defenders as you have shown us il

Following the reYiew the student

GOMPERS AT PHILA.

Philadelphia, Sept. 4-President
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor. in a labor day
address said that the injunction is
sued against the railroad shopmen
last week was a violation Of the con-
stltution and the laws of the land.
He characterized the action of at
torney general Daugherty as "exer-
cising a power never dreamed Of in
the history of the republic"
The veteran labor chief said the
injunction was wrong in priciple and
in fact, and was a confession that the
shopmen have early nwon their
strike. He urged that labor unions
furnish money to support the women
and children Of the men on strike.
THE men must fight and take
care of themselves, he declared.
President Harding and Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty were criticized by Mr.
Gompers for the issuance of the in
junction and he asserted that both
had advocated legislation to bring
about compulsory labor The party
OF Lincoln which freed the slaves,
said Mr.. Gompers. is now trying to
force compulsory labor on the whites
and blacks.

PEACE TALK RIFE
AMONG THE IRISH

Dublin, Sept. 4-(By A. Pas
the time for the meeting of the Irish
parliament approaches, renewed ru-
mors are in circulation of plans to
bring about peace between the gov
eminent and the irregulars. 1t is
pointed out that the nucleus of a
possible peace party exists in a COM
bination of the labor party and the
Independents, but in government
circles there is no talk of any COM
promise, the essential condition of
peace being declared in these circles
to be surrendered on the part of the
irregulars.
The four parliamentary vacancies
caused by the deaths of Arthur Crit
fifth, Michael Collins, Charles Bur-
CESS and Harry Boland will afford the
electors in widely separated districts
the opportunity for a clear pro-
nouncement on the Anglo-1rish trea
ty and the governments policy. Mi
chael Collins seat seems likely to be
filled by general Diarmuid O'Hegarty
who probably will be taken into the
cabinet.

March in Pouring
Rain at Boston

Boston, Sept. Awhile a steady
downpour drenched the marchers in
the annual Labor Day parade here
today, large American Flag carried
by a dozen members of the striking
railroad shop crafts union gathered
considerable amount of coinsa
thrown by spectators along the route
and the detail bearing the flag was
changed several times. Several thous-
and men Of various labor crafts and
o few women chiefly telephone oper-
ators were in line.
There has been speculation as to
whether the shopmen would particle
pate in the procession. in view of the
federal temporary injunction granted
last week, but 1t was decided mas
much as none of tn, local shop craft
leaders had been served with re-
straining orders up to date. no vicfa-
tons would be- involved by parading.

GATHER AT BOSTON

Boston. Sept. 4.-Delegates from
Missouri. Kansas. Michigan, New
York. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
were present today at the opening ses-
sion Of the ninth annual convention of
the National Association Of Post once
Laborers here. John H. Bosche, ma
tional president, presided.
Addresses were made by First AS
sistant Postmaster General John H.
Bartlett, Lieut.. Gov. Alvan T. Fuller,
Mayor James F. Curley. Congressman
Peter F. Tague. President John A. KEEL
~ Of the postal clerks association and
others.
An executive session was held to-
night and election of officers will be
tomorrow.
The wide distinction between the
rights of industrial operatives and the
corresponding rights of government
servants was emphasized tonight by
First Assistant Postmaster General
Bartlett in an address before the an
nual convention of the National Asso-
citation of Post Office Laborers.
Postal Workers. he said, may "
ganize for the public good and for their
mutual benefit, but no group of men
and women anywhere at any time has
a right to organize against the gov
eminent itself. l do not charge that
any have, however. but l do believe
that there are those who can see no
difference between the government as
an employer and corporation. To
them 1 sound warning that the peo-
pie of the United States in the last
analysis will be found intensely jeal-
Gus Of the rights and powers of their
government.
Suppose all Office holders. including
I Congress and all workers for the fed
eral government, organized and used
their organizations for increasing tn 3ir
| own salaries and for personal gain.
What would happen to the country
| This is said merely to stress the dis
| tiniction between public service and
private employment.
Being enlisted in the civil army of
our great government is an army and
distinction linked with obligations
which forbid our comparing our lot
and gauging our conduct with those
! who labor for profit making industries
7 and corporations. There is distinc-
! tion between our relations and their
relations as wide as the ocean.
| THE people through their chosen
| representatives fix our pay by law and
prescribe our place in the great gov
ernmental organization. We cannot
agree to strike in order to break do
| the government without being guilty
Of disloyalty and conspiracy.
THE governments civil organization
| cannot be disrupted by failure or fric-
ton at any point. Whoever will not
| take his place and do his allotted task
| on the great ship of state must give
\ way to loyal men who will.
| Let your influence and example be used
| not to agitate and alarm. but to foster
| cooperation without which we fail
