LABOR LEADERS
FOR AMENDMENT
WOULD SEE CHANGE IN CON-
STlTUTION-CO OF AM
ERICAN FEDERATION OF LA.
BOR MAKES PROPOSAL AT
ATLANTIC CITY MEETING.

Atlantic City, N. Y. Sept, 16.-
The executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in annual
session here today announced that
it had drawn a proposed amendment
to the construction of the United
States aiming to put into the hands
of congress powers which have
bee usurped by the supreme court,
an arbitrary autorcratic, bureau
cryacy Of five men,"
The proposed amendment was
framed at this time as a direct
result of Attorney General Daugher
tvs court action against the rail
shop crafts, according to the labor
chiefs. For years. however Presi'
dent Samuel Gompers has advocat-
ed such legislatios and according
to the labor leaders, grasped the
present opportunity to insert it in
labor's program as opportune for
the gaining Of public support gener-
ally.
Under the terms Of the contem-
plated amendment as drawn by the
federation council, "the United
States supreme court will have the
power to review an act Of congress
and to declare such an act uncon-
stitutional. But in the event con-
gress for a second time enacts the
legislation in question it will be be-
yond the power of the court and
will stand as the final and unassail-
able law Of the land"
It will be introduced in congress
"at the earliest possible moment"
said Mr.. Gompers.
At the same time that this amend
ment is made the subject Of ma
tional campaign "among all state
declarations of labor, local unions
and city central bodies," similar
campaign will be set in motion TO
bring about passage Of the child
labor amendment recently introduc-
ed in congress by Senator McCorm-
ick of Illinois the executive council
announced Mr.. Gompers and ten
officials of the national organiza-
tional also announced it had,
decided not to rejoin the 1nternat-
ional Federation of the Union with
headquarters in Amsterdam, Hol-
land, "until the international shows

the American position and abandon
its arrogant and superior attitude.

PRESIDENT TO VETO
BONUS BILL
WORD REACHED SENATE FROM
CHIEF EXECUTIVES CLOSE
ADVISERS.-MESSAGE WILL
co TO HOUSE SOME TIME
TUESDAY,.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Informa'
ton that President Harding hao
made up his mind definitely tc
veto the soldiers bonus bill reached
senate leaders yesterday from some
of his close advisers. They said his
message of disapproval would be
sent to the house next Tuesday.
After receiving this word, the ma,
jority leaders made an informal pre-
liminary canvass of the. senate.
which was said to have shown 81
votes against overriding veto, OF
to prevent final enactment of the
bonus legislation.
This margin was understood, how.
ever, to be regarded by some friends
of the president as too narrow and
they expected Mr.. Harding to call
several senators to the White House
before Tuesday for a discussion of
the situation. With many senators
absent it was asserted by some that
it was difficult to assess senate SEN
timent at this time.
Many Of the absentees, it was
stated, could not possibly get back
to Washington in time to vote. Five
senators are in Europe, while four
others are in the Far West. Several
others would be detained by their
own illness or that of members of
their families. Every effort will be
made to pair absentees, but it was
that it might not be pos
sible to pair all of them and it was
conceded that the absence of pairs
in even a few cases might have a
material effect on the outcome.
Mr.. Harding's advisers expect him
to set forth in vigorous manner his
reasons for a veto. From the first he
has insisted that bonus legislation
should carry a method of financing it
and he also has voiced disapproval
of "piece meal" payment to the
World war veterans, declaring that
it would be better to postpone pay
ment than to make it in such a man.
ner.
Should the bonus bill be returned
to the house managers of it there
planned to move promptly to pass it
over the veto.

Geneva, Sept. 16.-The assembly
of the league of nations today ad--
journed until Monday after dispos-
ing of the conflict between Lit
honia and Poland over the possess
:on of the Wilma district, so far as
the league is concerned.
The assembly sent to a committee
the complaints of the Lithonians re-
garding the treatment Of their ma
tionals by Polish officials, but it re-
fused to place the question Of the
elections on the assembly agenda.
This buries the question Of Wilma
so far the league is concerned and
leaves Poland free to elect repre-
sentatives to it's parliament from
that district.
Sir Edwa Grigg, Lloyd Georges
secretary, has arrived here to make

The disarmament committee has
decided to recommend to the assem-
bly, a resolution introduced by NJ.
de Jouvenal, of France, asking all
countries except those whose judicial
situation has been changed to re-
duce their expenditures for arma-
ments to the figures Of 1918. This
would exclude the United States
and Canada as we'll as Spain, which
is at war with Morocco.
The idea is 10 make it apply to
all European states under present
circumstances having no excuses
for maintaining bigger a-maments
than before the war. The reductions
that the resolutions would involve
are indicated by the statistics Of the
mixed commission which show that
foreign countries are spending
more for military purposes than he

percent more than before the war.
is excused because she had virtual
y no army in 1912, but was protec-
ted by treaties of neutrality.
The countries which are spending
less than in 1913 are: South Africa
rs per cent; Rumania 90; Italy 46;
Brazil IS; France 8; Switzerland
80; Norway 14.3.
M. de Jouvenal remarked after
the session that he had not included
the United States because everyone
felt that the stronger the United
States is the greatest the guarantee
against war. The European nations
were particularly mentioned be-
cause the field of conflict is in
Europe.

COMING
But TO Re DELAYED
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WARN
COUNTRY NOT TO EXPECT
QUICK RECOVERY FROM OUR
TRSUBLE-MANY VIEWS BE-
ING EXPRESSED.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Warning
was given by high administration Of
fcials yesterday that the country
must wholly recover from the after
math Of the recent industrial upheav-
al before economic benefits flowing
from the settlement of the railroad
strike can react fully upon national
business conditions.
Secretary Hoover took the view
that although the country is now un-
doubtedly better off than it was a
year ago, it will probably be six
months before high plane Of pros
per.ty is attained, while Secretary
Mellon, although considering the
business outlook Every good" recog-
nized as forestalling immediate COM
mercial expansion the limitations i'm
POSED upon transportation facilities
by car shortages and a possible in
adequate labor supply.
The greatest loss as result Of the
strike will be borne by the farmers,
according to an analysis Of the situa-
ton by Secretary Hoover, in which
he reached the conclusion that the
Economic wounds" received by the
country should be quickly healed.
In contrast with the views of his
two cabinet associates, however, Sec
retary Davis of the labor department
was positive that settlement Of the
railroad strike removed the last OBJ
stacie to "unprecendented' prosper
ity.
While the losses due to the coal
and railroad strikes have been con-
Siderable" Secretary Hoover said in
statement issued last night, "they
are easily overestimated."
3 The estimate Of current coal min
S ers' wages lost in the five months (of
strike) is not a correct basis of the
eseimation of the total loss," he said,
Because over period of 18 months
we Will probably consume the same
amount of coal. In other words, the
miners will work more days in the
week and produce more coal in the
next six or eight months than they
vol1ld have produced if there had
been 10 strike and thus the wage
roll OF the next six or eight months
viii be larger and will, in consider
able degree, compensate the loss dur
ing this suspension.
t'I'he real loss would lie more in
the 1oss of productivity in industries
that have, or might have, to close
down as result of the coal strike.
If all Of our industries can be kept
in motion, the loss will be much less
FROM the coal strike than is currently
estimated.
*Fhe greatest loss today is the one
being met by the farmer as a re-
syls OF the railway strike. The ex-
port Of farm products has been Sc
riously interfered with by the ina
bilHy Of the railways to transport
y Tn the broad view, however, if
we can get back to business, If we
can secure resumption Of trans
portation of coal and agricultural
produce we will not have received
such ar economic wound as can not
be very quickly recovered from. We
win probably not be on such high
plane Of business prosperity during
the aeM six months as we would
lave been had the strike not taken
place, but we will undoubtedly be on
e mach higher and a much more
comfortable plane than that Of last
yeas"

BRITISH OPPOSE
TERRIBLE TURK

TINOPLE-MUSTAPHA KEMAL
PASHA CAN NOT EXTEND
DRIVE OF VICTORIOUS FORc.
ES IN ASIA MINOR.

London, Sept. 16.-The victim at
Smyrna numbered at least 100000
up to Thursday morning, says a
dispatch to The Times from Athens,
quoting John Manola of the Ameri-
can relief as it's authority.
London, Sept. 16.-If Mustapha
Kemal Pasha should attempt to
move his victorious forces against
Constantinople he will be opposed by
the British fleet.
The British cabinet after a meet
ing today announced that instruc-
tions had been issued to the British
armada to allow no Turkish troops
to make the crossing from Asia
Minor to the European shore.
Complete agreement was reached
at the cabinet meeting with the
French for the protection Of the neu-
trail zones on both sides OF the straits
of the Dardanelles and also Of Con-
stantinople. A note is to be sent to
Mustapha Kemal Pasha by Italy,
France and Great Britain asserting,
that pending a permanent arrange
ment of the situation the neutral
zones must be respected. Prepara-
tions are being made by the British
to send reinforcements into the neu-
tral zones.
Jugoslavia and Rumania both are
reported to be viewing with the
greatest concern the possibility Of
the Turks returning to Thrace.
Constantinople, Sept. 16.-The de-
parture of British craft from Smyrna
today is thought here to have re-
moved the last vestige of hope for
ten Americans and three Britishers
still on the missing list.
Only 5000 women and children of
the $4,000 who were there three
days ago remain in Mudania, ac-
cording to advices received from
Captain Adams, commanding an Am
erican submarine chaser, which is in
Mudania harbor.
1t is assumed here that the male
portion of the refugees fled or were
taken by the Kemalists to the hills.
Their fate is not known.

News dispatches have just carried the story of how Judge JohnW. Shea fin Colorado Springs, Colo, sentenced a convicted bootlegger to three years in the state prison. It also states that this is the maximum penalty for second offence on a bootlegg- ing charge. Judge Shea has set the right example to the rest of the ju- rists of the nation.
 Bootlegging under the existing laws is a serious offense The pro- hibiiton amendment was not adopted by the people to be winked at. but to be enforced. The people of America with the exit of the drunk did not intend that the bootlegger should make his daily. or weekly, or month ly, appearance before a magistrate for pity or indulgence.-Phoenix tArizona) Gazette.

In some of the valleys of Alaska where grain and forage crops do well dairying seems to be desirable, and many farmers have taken it up on a small scale. The United States De- partment of Agriculture is trying to develop a hardy breed of cattle for that climate by. crossing the Gallo way and the Holstein Friesian, but in the meantime. milking shorthorns have been introduced at two of the department stations, as they are con- sidered fairly good milk producers, and are good beef animals, combi- nation of qualities desired in this rigorous region. The animals that were brought in were secured in Minnesota and Iowa.

In his address before the Canadian Mining institute at Nelson, B. C., Hon. William Sloan, Minister of Mines, referred to the Premier as the Wonder Mine." And we'll he might. for in the short space of six months this latest star in tn mining firma- ment has enabled the distribution of $l,650,000 to shareholders in the Premier Gold Mining Company. af- ter paying nearly as much for equip ment.
 Small wonder that the company are acquiring all the surrounding property that they can secure; small wonder that claim owners in the vicinity are vigorously working wherever mineral outcrops occur anu small wonder that other companies and individuals are securing the dis trict in quest of promising prospects.
 Back in the musty vaults of va rious mining concerns in New York are numerous reports on the Port- land Canal mining district prepared by qualified" mining engineers. and condemning the ores of this district as being too low grade and refrac- tory to possibly be worked at prof it. Time and again promoters who have kept pace with events here have been turned down on the strength of these reports, without even being given hearing.
 We wonder whether there will not now be some surreptitious destruc' tion of these reports and curses. si- lent perhaps, on the heads of their authors.-Hyder Miner.

Pratt has been in New York and Texas most of the time during his absence. The out look for Alaska, in the opinion of the attorney, is very encouraging, with the territory receiving favorable at tention in all sections of the coun- try. Even in far-away New York, he sayssays. he found that Alaska was being very much discussed, whereas. he only occasionally heard the territory mentioned in the East three years ago.

FRANK BOOTH.

Locating and photographing un- known lakes in the National Forests of Alaska are among the latest uses to which the airplane is being put.
 It has long been known that there are many lakes on the headlands and islands along the Inside Passage be- tween Seattle and Skagway that do not appear on any map. During the New York-to-Nome flight made by Army aviators in 1920, lakes were frequently sighted which could not be found on the latest and most au- thentic maps of the Territory. Less than a year ago lake four and one half miles long and one-half mile wide was discovered at the head of Short Bay.
 Recognizing that some of these lakes may be sources of valuable wa ter power, the Forest Service has laid plans to map this no mans land of the north by means of aerial pho tographs. A few days flight, it is said, will be sufficient to cover the area with degre of accuracy that would rquire many years and great expense to accomplish by ordinary methods.
 The work which has been approv- ed by the Federal Power Commission, will be done by seaplane. flying from Ketchikan as a base.

The Guild Room Has Been
 Secured for Kindergarten

It has been decided to use the Guild room back of St. Philips Gym nasium for the kindergarten work which the Wrangell school will add this year. There is no room in the school building for such depart ment and a survey of the available buildings failed to locate anything else that was entirely suitable. most where no playground could be se- cured for the little tots. While the Guild room seems at first thought to be rather far from the center of town, the location is really a cen ral one when the fact is considered that a number of children form the bay residence section will attend. The Guild room is large and well lighted. A number of improvements will be added that will make it very comfortable for the little ones and Miss Bidwell is planning to make it a most attractive place.
 All children between the ages of four and six who ar eligible for en- trance to the public school will be admitted. The kindergarten will be maintained by funds handled by he School Board and there will be no charge made for tuition. The kin dergarten will releive the primary crowding and the age entrance to the first grade ha been raised slight ly. No child who will not be six years old before January 1 will bs admitted to the public school.
