TRYING TO PICK UP WIRELESS
 MESSAGES" FROM MARS

New York, June 14-En ruote to the United States on his yacht Elletra, Will liam Marconi. perfector of wireless teleg- raphy, is seeking to pick up what he calls wireless messages" from the planet Mars according to The New York World.
 Marconi. it is said, has been of the belief for five years that signals are being sent through space from Mars Last year. while cruising in the Mediterranean on the Elletra, the inventor picked up a wave of 15e,000 meteres length, the greatest ever recorded.
 Mars is now approaching the earth and next Sunday will be 42,0O0,0o0 miles away, closer than it has been since 1909. Marconi therefore, is attempting solution of what he believes to be the most fes- cinating mystery held by science.
 The inventor, upon his arrival in New York next week, will address a joint meeting of the Institute of Radio Engin- ger and the American Institute of EIec- tricaf Engineers
 Besides the Mars experiment Mar conf is conducting a series of other exper- ments, which The World says may prove of extraordinary importance. These in- clude tests of direction finders on both short and long wave transmission and of high speed dispatch and reception of mes- sages in cooperation with radio stations on the American mainland

AZ. of 1. Would Alter
  [
May Start a Drive for a Con-
 stitutional Amendment for a Congressional Veto of
 Supreme Court Decisions.

Cincinnati, June 14 (By the A. P.)- Organized labor indicated a determina- tion at the American Federation of I.a- bor convention here today that it wou.d start a drive for constitutional amendment for congressional veto of supreme court decisions, and for the de- nial of the power of lower federal courts to set aside a federal law as un- constitutional. This, the delegates were informed, would overcome decisions. which labor has regarded as inimicaI to it's interests.
 The only formal action, however, was unanimous adoption of a motion creat- ing a special committee to frame a poll Icy, which action was taken after the proposal for the amendment had been made by Senator Lafollette of Wiscon- sin Other speakers, most of them leaders In the labor movement, approv- ed the program as practicable.
 The suggestion of a drive for the amendment came in the midst of a pro- gram devoted to condemnation of child labor. The address of Senator Lafol- lette,s centered attacks on the supreme | court, which for a second time
 declared the federal child labor law un- constitutional In authorizing appoint ment of the special committee the dele gates voted to vest in It authority to consider all decisions of the last few
 years which the federation has brand
 ed as inimical to organized labor. Senator Lafollette, in his speech, con tended that the federal courts had by a
 process of gradual encroachments
 ''wrested sovereignty from the people,
 and he cited the child labor law decis
 ion as typical of the conduct of tho
 federal judiciary Misses greeted the
 senator's first mention of Chief Justic,
 Taft, but these quickly changed to ap !, plause al Lafollette declared that Taf was repudiated by the voters when { second term candidate for president,

for sale by a department store Uslng the articles, on which both the foreign and retail selling prices here had been obtained as examples to illustrate ms speech, he described what he characterlz- ed as the enormous frauds perpetrated on the American people"
 Article after article was held up be- fore the senators. There was cuckoo clock made in Germany. Mir. McCumber said, for 94 cents and sold in New York at $22 a string of pearls from France costing s1225 and sold here at $50; electric bulbs made for 5.3 cents and re- tailed in America at 30 cents; kid gloves involced at 27 cents and retailed at sz, straw hat of English make, bought there at 69 cents and sold here for $4. Wool blankets and carving sets and curl ing irons, hair clippers and briar pipes were among the exhibits.
 And the men who handle these are the men who are fighting this tariff bill" Mir. McCumber shouted, they don't want to give up robbjng and taking the life blood of this country.
 "The press, especially those in New York and in Boston, are afraid to tell the truth. Why do they print articles and editorials to deceive the American people
 Because their life blood depends up- on the revenue from their big advertis- CTS and their big advertisers depend for their prosperity upon the high prices they can get in the American market from the American consumer"
 MT. McCumber said that some time ago Senator Ladd had "exposed the un- truthful propaganda" of the New York | Tribune in printing a story that the tar ! if on hides would increase the cost of shoes S2 a pair but that the newspaper | had not printed a word in reply to the Ladd statement. The speaker also men, tioned in the course of his discussion
 advertisements carried by the New York | Herald, Boston-Herald and several other i papers in support of his assertion thai
 their greatest advertisers were those who
 most vigorously opposed the tariff pro. gram.
 The Senator dissolved "the great ma. | jority" of the newspapers of blame 1T ! spreading the opposition argument ana 1 added: This campaign of misrepresenta.
 tion against the tariff is concentrated ir
 the big cities where the importers ad vertisements dominate the newspapers
 ''The inconsistency of this so-called re publican press" MT. McCumber went on l ''is that while it supports senators al able representatives of their states i l nevertheless at the behest of these grea importing interests condemns the yer.
 men it supports as it's representatives
 ports the president. it assails those poll 1 cies for which he stands and which h
 re asserts on every occasion"

 AssaIiinE particularly New York, Bos- ton and Philadelphia newspapers, the committee chairman said the republicans had decided Co change their policy of keeping silent on the subject of profits and were now ready to meet the argu- rnents especially Of the "so-oalled repub- iican press who have so capriclously condemned this bill"
 Senator McCumber's speech nearly two hours in length. immediately precipitated replies from the democratic side and brought a resolution by Senator Walsh. nfortana. calling upon the attorney gen erai 10 advise the senator whether steps had been taken or were to be taken to establish whether a conspiracy existed among thc interests mentioned by the North Dakota senator. The resolution asked that if such combination existed, prosecution of those suspected be in- uitutcd under the antitrust laws.
 The Montana senator sought immedi- ate action on the resolution but Mir. Mo Cumber objected saying he was hearti- ly ln favor of an investigation of the facts and incidents presented but did not believe tife Walsh resolution was in ac- cord with the situation laid before the senate. The rEDlution wnt over a day undr the senate rules.
 Senator Underwood. Alabama. the dem orratic leader characterized the tariff leaders stand as most remarkable and entirely new in tariff discussion" He declared that on the position taken by Mfr McCumber. the republican protec- tionists had left no longer any appeal io American manufacturers or labor.
 "The senator has shown" said Mir Underwood. that the profit taken by tone of these people ranges as high as 1900 per cent IT that be true. how can be or his committee expect to protect Am erican labor with SO per cent. duty? What appeal has he left to the American man. ufacturer I say if his statements are .rue then he and his committee have perpetrated a gigantic fraud on the Am srican people"
