EARLY POLITICAL ACTIVITY FOR WAGE
 FARMERS URGED
Seek Appointment of Local Non Partisan Committee to Get
 Results.

Washington, March Iz.-Local non-partisan political campaign com mittees are called upon to immediate ly prepare for the forthcoming pri- maries i'll a proclamation issued by the executive committee of the A F. of L. national non-partisan political campaign committee.
 Where local committees dissolved after the last election the local move mcnt is urged to rc-cstablish same.
 Emphasis IS placed upon the neces- sity for nominating candidates where there appears in the primaries of neither party a candidate considered representative of the peoples inter cStS.
 "Nhcrcvcr necessary" says the proclamation, "labor should place candidates in the field This should be done where the candidates on both dominant party tickets are unfriendly to our cause.
 No genuine constructive measure has been enacted by congress since March i, 1919 Every means used to secure legislation that will aid in relieving unemployment<h <has been met with rebuff.
 The present dcplorable conditions of our country, artihcially made, and in which labor and the farmers have been def1ated until ii hurts, has been ignored by congress. Only appeals for subsidies for ship owners, rail roads and other interests find listen CTS. To all legislation i'll the interest of the people congress Is deaf
 Every state federation of labor, every city central body should create non-partisan political campaign com mittees, Every local should appoint committees to cooperate with the state and central bodies.
 The campaign should not be among the organized workers alone, but should be extended so that the truth will be known to all just-mind- ed citizens.
 Since the armistiCe the most flag rant and malignant denunc1ations of the hopes and aspirations of the masses of our peopel have been made i The campaign in the primaries and in the fall elections offers op- portunities which may not come again in a decade to redress wrongs and attain justice. It is, therefore, i'm portant that not a moment should be lost in launching a most active cam paign that will bring about the cleo ton of men and women who will restore to our people the rights taken from them since fighting ceased in the world war, All are urged to be up and doing.

duction oi wages in the textile indus try would mean reduction by 20 per cent of the consuming power of thousands, and this would affect thousands of other industries.
 If the workers engaged in this strike were to yield, where would this practice of reducing stop" asked Mr .Gompers. If l am 10 judge from what 1 know of men and women, the boys and girls engaged in the textile industry would rather resist and lose than not resist at all. There are or ganizations holding aloof from the United Textile Workers of America However small they may be they are hurtful to the common cause. The textile workers should work together to remedy conditions.

IMPROVE CARBURET TION

SEATTLE, October 5-Efficiency of q new principle of carburetion has been established in a series of tests completed in Seattle. One hundred per cent increase in miles per gallon Of gasoline, fifty per cent in saving in gasoline consumption, is indicated.
 The tests have been made with sev- vrak makes of cars, under weather and road conditions as they happened 10 be, over city streets and county highways with all the common compl- cations of traffic, all kinds of grades md curves.
 A score or more of well-known Seat tie men have been permitted to wit ness the tests that have been made. To each of them it is new eperience. None of them had the slightest present 3r prospective financial interest in the matter. The new principle and device, fully protected are controlled by a corporation composed of Portland and Seattle men, which is already closed. 1t is known as the American Carbure- tor company, with no stock for sale nor any scheme of promotion to be ad- vanced.

SPOKANE, October 5-The capture of a swarm of 15,O00 bees on the roof of local building performed by a man who was barehanded and without a mask was spectacle witnessed here recently.
 The bees took possession of an up- right scantling on the roof of the build ing, and successfully evaded all efforts of the owner of the building to dis lodge them A local seed company was appealed to for relief, and George w. York, for many years editor of the Bee Journal of Chicago, hastened to the scene, only pausing to grab his hat and bee hive.
 Arriving at the building he walked up to the swarm, placed the hive en- trance close to the base of his scant- ling on which the bees had swarmed, and began to strip them off the plank with his bare hands, so that they drop ped on the roof.
 As the insects fell to the roof they slowly crawled into the hive. When the entire swarm had been removed from the scantling in this way their captor

SOUTH AMERICAN
RATE PARLEY FAILS
Lamport & Holt Differential
Proposal Said to Be Rejected
By Snip Board.

A meeting yesterday between repre-
sentatives of the Shipping Board and the
Lamport & Holt Line failed to bring
about an agreement on rates in the
South American passenger service.
which were slashed heavily not long
ago to the accompaniment of an acri-
monious series Of charges and counter
charges.
Arthur Cook. managing director oe the
Lamport & Holt Line. had long con-
ference in the Munson Line offices with
W. B. Keene, traffic manager for the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. the first
meeting since the truce in hostilities. 1t
was announced afterward that no defi-
mite conclusion had been reached. and
that rates would remain unchanged for
the time.
1t Is known that the Lamport & Holt
representatives had been prepared to
submit a proposal for 10 per cent. diff
ferential for their ships under the rates
to be charged by the Munson Line. and
inasmuch as no agreement was reached
1t is assumed that the arrangement was
not satisfactory to the Shipping Board.
Mr.. Cook, 1t was learned. will sail to-
day for England. the home office of
the Lamport & Holt Line.
Under current rate schedules Lam
port e. Holt vessels. with the exception
of the Vasari, are charging the same
rates as the four Munson liners. This
equality is regarded as largely aca-
demic, however. as the Van Dyke, Vau.
ban and Vestris are being operated on
the north Atlantic route during the
summer season. The Vasari has rates
15 per cent. below the Munson sched-
ules. The question Of the differential is
not regarded as Immediately important,
in view of the temporary withdrawal
OF the Lamport & Holt liners and the
slackness of summer traffic to South
America, but will again become press
ing with the advent Of the fall and
