SEES ANTI-UNIoN MOVE.
Gompers Says Collision to XIII All
Organized Labor Planned.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Rejection of
peace overtures by rail executives
and coal operators indicates collision
of effort to give the death thrust to
organized labor, Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, said today.
In a vitrioIic attack. he charged
the rail and coal heads are defying
the government and by corruption,
brutality and unlawful methods. at
tempting to break down the morale OF
the strikers.
They assume they are greater than
the government" said Gompers. II
big business thinks it can deny the
right of the working class to protest
against this condition, it is mistaken.
There were four million working men
in the army and they were fighting
for freedom and against kaiserism
and they are not likely TO take for
granted that they have to live under
kaiserism, or junkerism in the
United states. American labor will
not live under those conditions.
1T must be increasingly apparent
to the people of this country that
under no conditions can coal be mined
until the union miners have gone
back to work and it must also be ap-
parent that the rail strike will end
only when the shopmen's demands
are met"

WHERE WAS CODY BORN?
Davenport Chamber of Commerce Is
on a Probe All Its Own.

Davenport, Ia, Aug. 4.-"Buffalo
Bilr' Codys birthplace has become 4
subject of official investigation by the
Davenport Chamber of Commerce.
The inquiry is due to efforts or the
municipality to induce the Brother-
hood OF American Yeomen to locate
in this vicinity the frarernal society :
S1O,OOO.OOO home for motherless and
fatherless children
An old frame house on the White
Hall farm near LeClaire has been
know for years as Cody's birthplace.
The farm is a. part of a tract of sew
eral thousand acres lying along the
Mississippi river which the Chamber
of Commerce has optIoned and Of
fered to the Yeomen as a site for the
home The Yeomen, it is said, were
keenly interested because of the asso-
Citations of the house with the cele-
brated scout and Indian fighter.
Certain older residents of the coun-
tryside, however. say Buffalo Bill
was born in a log cabin that may have
stood in the general neighborhood Of
the farm house but has long since dis
appeared.
The inquiry. however. is causing
considerable interest, for. regardless
of its effect on the location of the or
phanage, it is expected TO settle the
question of the exact birthplace of the
famous plainSman.

PAY FOR UNBORN CHILDREN.
Difference Should Be, Made in Scale
of Pay, Says League.

Sydney. n. S. W., Aug. A sug-
gestion for a child endowment scheme.
as an alternative to the present basic
wage, has been placed before the
premier by the Family Wage league,
led by A. B. Piddington, K. c., who
gained considerable insight into Aus
tralian economic conditions as an in
terstate commissioner several years
ago.
1t was pointed out that employers
by being compelled to pay the same
basic wage to married and single men
that was assessed on the standard of
living for a man, wife and three chill
dren, are being called upon, in effect
to pay for two million children who do
not exist The child endowment
scheme would relieve the employers of
part of this burden, as it provides that
every adult male employee, single or
married, should receive a flat mini
mum wage for nan and his wife
Employers would contribute to Com
monwealth tund enough for the needs
of the actual children of employees
and an endowment would be paid by
the commonwealth for every depen-
dent child of an employe, under the
scheme.
