SHIPPING SUBSIDY ADVOCATES URGED
 TO TELL US ALL
People Will Speedily Settle It if Real Facts Are Made
 Known

Washington, July 7.-Tell your constituents all the facts connected with the ship subsidy bill, declared Congressmen Hardy of Texas, Davis of Tennessee and Bankhead of Ala bama in a public statement in which they say:
 "Being opposed to the ship sub sdy bill, we gladly welcome the in junction of the President that the question be carried to the people,
 These congressman are members of the house merchant marine commit tee, which is considering the bill.
 We challenge anybody they say, Ito point. to single utterance by President Harding or any other re- sponsible speaker during the last campaign who raised the question of ship subsidies, or even intimated that such was necessary or that a ship subsidy bill would be considered by the congress"
 The congressman call upon friends of the subsidy bill to bring out these points to their constituents:
 That the bill provides for loan to ship owners of revolving fund of $I25, 100000, at ? per cent interest and for I5 years at a time and up 10 two-thirds the cost of the ships although the average life of ship is estimated at 20 years.
 That this bill eXempts ship owners from al federal taxes if they use that money to build more ships.
 That no friend of the bill has claimed that it will lower freight rates.
 That this bill authorizes the ship ping board to make contracts for the payment of subsidies for a period of 10 years from the date of making contract, this being admittedly for the purpose of preventing repeal of the act by subsequent congresses.
 That this bill confers upon the ship ping board the most autocratlc and unprecedented powers with respect to selling ships, making loans, makln g subsidy contracts and handling enor- nous sums of money ever conferred upon any board, and yet the ship ping board is feverishly employing every conceivable means to obtain such powers and opportunities.
 That this bill does not require the shipping board to make any report or accounting to the President, the congress, or anybody else, at any time.
 That when this country was in the midst of the war the shipping inter ests who are back of this bill took advantage of the situation and ran ocean rates up on both their govern ment and the people as high as I,23o per cent over pre-War rates.
 That the pending bill is infinitely worse and more costly than any of the various ship subsidy bills which have been repudiated in the past.

ure of such institutions to promote either peace, freedom or justice.
 We make the definite statement that the campaign for establishment of so-called industrial courts and commissions is the result of the con niving and designing of financial commercial and industrial interests for the definite purpose of defeating the legitimate aspirations of the workers.
 It is the aim of this campaign and of these institutions either to limit or to destroy constitutional rights. These rights we cannot surrender without surrendering everything. To submit to the imposition of industrial courts means to abandon the road to Ffreedom and to accept enslavement.
 From many directions and through many proposals, the campaign of or ganized financial, commercial and in dustrial interests makes itself evi- dent The whole object is to deprive the workers of all opportunity to exercise a voice in the determination Of terms and conditions under which they shall give service and to prevent workers from withdrawing their serv- ice where they cannot agree to terms and conditions proposed by em ployers.
 This is not an issue upon which there can be compromise. The cleav- age IS sharp and clear The indus trial court the industrial commission the proposals to regulate voluntary associations of workers and farmers -these are the devices of kings and chancellors to hold subjects in sub mission and humility; they cannot be tolerated by free men.
 Labor for it's service to the com- munity as a producer, receives wages. Manufacturers and merchants for their service receive profits. Those who favor the character of legisla- ton under consideration allege that the welfare of the community justi- fes the state in determining maxi mum wage rates. Were the same principles to be applied to manufac- turers and merchants and maximum price were to be placed on their re- turns, manufacturers and merchants would sweep out of office those who had dared to authorize the state to fix maximum prices and maximum profits in private industry and com merce.
 Your committee therefore com
 
 Council for their vigorous, unceasing efforts to prevent the enactment of this species of vicious legislation and for it's untiring efforts to focus the public mind upon this unwarranted encroachment upon the rights and liberties of the people in the states of Kansas and Colorado. Your conn mittee fully concurs in the report of the Executive Council on these sub jects including the recommendation and declaration against compulsory incorporation of trade unions and we urge that renewed energy be display ed by trade unionists and by all friends of liberty, justice and democ- racy in the States of Kansas and Colorado to the end that the oppres- sive and restrictive laws enacted in those states may be repealed at the earliest possible moment.
The Connecticut labor news., 1922-07-07

Concerning th1S subject the SpeC1al Committee said:
 - Your committee has carefully and thoughtfully considered that part of the Executive Councils report deal ing with legislative attacks on trade unions-pages 5 to 42.
 Executive Council deals with the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations Law, the Colorado Industrial Com mission Law, proposed Compulsory Incorporation of Trades Unions, President Harding's proposal to regu- late trade unions, and the attempt made in New York to secure enact ment of law similar to the Kansas law.
 Interwoven throughout all of these legislative enaCtments and legislative proposals is the insidious attempt to extend the doctrine of conspiracy to the whole trade union movement and thus to prevent the constructive, ef- fective and efficient application of the principles of organization and CO., operation by the wage earners.
 Whatever else may be said of the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations Law, the fact remains that the wheels of industry cannot be moved by anti strike legislation any more effectively than coal can be dug by injunction
 The experience had with the Colo rado Industrial Commission Law demonstrates even more clearly the real viciousness and futility of legis- lation of this character Instead of making for peace and tranquility it necessarily aggravates and intensifies industrial conflicts.
 It is evident from the report of the Executive Council that the legislative representatives of the people of the State of New York were not mis- guided by the combination of politica ambition and private greed in the campaign to secure similar legislation in that state.
 It would seem that the propaganda for industrial feudalism supported by political bureaucracy has, however, found its way into the White House It is most regrettable to note the utterances of the President of the United States wherein he disapproves labor's reluctant but necessary resort to the right to strike against indus trial oppression. It may be well to recall in this connection a most ap- propriate utterance upon the same subject by another President. Abra- ham Lincoln said:
 'I am glad that a system of Labor prevails under which laborers can strike when they want to, where they are not obliged to work under all cir cumstances and are not tied down to work whether you pay them for it or not. 1 like a system which lets a man quit when he wants to and 1 wish 1t might prevail everywhere. 1 want man to have a chance to bet ter his condition. That is the true system. l am not ashamed to confess that twenty-five years ago 1 was a hired laborer."
 It is for no arbitrary reason that we oppose these proposals for com pulsory submission to tribunal Is created by the state Ii is because of the fundamental principle in vOlyed and because of the utter fail

had become slightly rusty, at bargain

He saw an opportunity to duplicate his
feat by getting more knives, which he
did, but soon the available stock was
exhausted.

MANURE WILL HELP PASTURE
Top Dressing Often >Wll Bring About
Improvement wheFe' Grasses
Arc UndeveIoped.

: When pasture begins to fail 1t may
often be improved without ploughing
;by topdressing the land literally with
'barnyard manure or acid phosphate
with lime. This is usually the case
where the pasture has plenty Of the
good pasture grasses which, however,
are Door and undeveloped. A top
dressing on such a pasture will not
only bring a good crop of grass in
two or three years but also drive out
some of the weeds that overrun the
rundown pasture lands. ! This top
dressing will be better than reseeding
where the soil is exhausted
; Where there is decided dearth OF
good grasses, liberal applications Of
manure may be combined with plow-
ing and reseeding. Where it Is neces-
:sary to pillow as well as topdress with
q manure and fertilizer, it is a good
idea to grow crop Of potatoes or oats
or perhaps buckwheat. Such a crop
will pay the cost Of reseeding, then
the following year q good crop of hay
can be taken off, and after that good
pasturage may be had for many years.

Alma Olivia Anderson, II, of Twin

member of family of five today.
She lies at st. Angi's hospital, with
both legs broken, her wrist fractur-

drove his Ford car into a backing
freight train on sthe Great Northern

became confused and drove his car
