Local Branch of Marine

Workers, a branch of the Industrial
Workers of the World. A copy of the
resolution came to light yesterday. 1t
was passed unanimously at meeting
of the labor organization on the night
of August 2.
Ship owners failed to show any con-
Germ over the threat of the radicals
They expect little difficulty from this

Both Want to Retire
Sentiment Is Solid for
Miller, Calder, Lyons and
Attorney General Newton

With eyes on the September con-
vention in Albany, Republican slate
makers generally agree that the nomi-
nees will be substantially these:
Governor-Nathan L. Miller.
Lieutenant Governor Jeremiah

or Mayor Thomas A. Wilson of Bing-

ing his own plans. State Chairman

nominate the Governor The Rcpubli-
can women voters are unanimous for
him. No other name is being dis
cussed for the head of the ticket.
With the Lieutenant Governorship
the case is quite different. Organiza
ton affairs in Nassau County, the home
of Lieutenant Governor Wood, are
tangled on account of the fight made
by organization men against Judge
Strong, of the Supreme Court. The
Lieutenant Governor is being pulled

insist that he make a fight for re-
nomination. If he should drop out

Buffalo, leader of the "Fighting 69th,'
or Mayor Thomas A. Wilson of Bing-
hamton may succeed Mr. Wood.
Solid for Lyons
From present outlook the New York
County delegation will present solid
front for the denomination of Score
tary of State John J. Lyons. The
leaders have told Chairman Koenig
that the place belongs to New York
and that any one the delegates unite or
will be accepted.

Result Of Election

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The claim
that gains are in prospect for the dry
forces IN both the Senate and House
as the result of the primaries held to
date was made to-right in a statement
issued by Wayne B. Wheeler, general
counsel of the Anti-Saloon League.
Seventeen states, not counting Ken
lucky, have held primary elections"
said Mr.. Wheeler. Thirteen United
States Senators have been nominated
in twelve states, two nominations hav-
ing been made in Pennsylvania. Nine
Senators have been renominated, seven
of whom have stood for prohibition en-
forcement and two are against it. OF
the four new nominations, all stand
for enforcement Of the Eighteenth
Amendment.

candidates. One hundred and sixty

nominated, of whom 1913 have voted

to be a unit for him. The Harding
Administration leaders are lending he
Senator aid wherever he seems to need
1T, and it looks to the "elder states
men" as if the Senator will be the
unanimous choice of the convention.
The Anti-Saloon League of the state is
passively hostile to Senator Calder,
because from time to time he has faade
''wet gestures" But they are not plan
ming to run an independent against
him. Mrs. Ella a. Boole, president of
the State Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, who two years ago on the
Prohibition ticket polled 10000 votes
for United States Senator, has publicly
stated that she will not run against
Senator Calder. Dry Republicans
hazard the prediction that Senator
Calder will stand solidly on law en-
forcement platform, if anything is said
on the wet and dry issue, and that
this will be interpreted as putting him
in line with President Harding and
Governor Miller.

And Water Systen
River and Canal Channels
Through Interior Figure
i'm Plan to Divert Traffic
TO the Gulf of Mexico

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 5.-Stimulated
by important steel interests in the
Pittsburgh and Wheeling districts and
by agricultural and commercial factors
in the middle West, the movement for
waterway to the Gulf of Mexico is
attracting the attention of city gov
ernments and civic organizations along
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
Steel companies are showing their
practical interest by shipping as much
as possible of their products in barges
to Southern points; farmers are urging
the creation of trunk line river sys-
tenn, and city councils are passing
resolutions urging their congressional
representation to support any govern
ment movement the project may have.
Already the councils of ittsburgh, st.
Louis, Louisville, Parkersburg and
Cairo have taken action, while resolu-
tions are pending before the councils
of Wheeling, Cincinnati, Evansville,
Memphis, Kansas City, ST. Paul and
Minneapolis. Chambers of CONNIE rec
IN Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Parkers-
burg, Louisville, Evansville, Memphis
and New Orleans have passed similar
resolutions.
The project is based on plans pre-
pared by the corps Of engineers of the
| United States army calling for the
completion of the Ohio River slack
water system, which is an open river
below Evansville; deepening the chan
mel of the Mississippi to six feet be-
tween Minneapolis and St. Louis, dredg-
ing an eight-foot channel in the
Mississippi between St. Louis and
Cairo, the maintenance of nine-fo
channel in the Mississippi from Cairo
to New Orleans, and the opening of the
Missouri to navigation between St.
Louis and Kansas City. These plans
when carried out, the army engineers
say, would give 1000 mile water
highway between Pittsburgh and New
Orleans and one of equal length be-
tween Minneapolis and New Orleans.
Projects for a canal between Lake
Erie and the Ohio River are now be-
ing urged from Pittsburgh Cincinnati
and other points. Congress has already
made some provision for surveys for
these waterways and their proponents
are urging speedy decision as to the
best route and commencement of the
work

roylowing the Federal court decision
hrrs-sds of litigants dropped their
cults in the state courts. But the State
Industrial Board, believing that Gov
s.or Miller was capable of correctly
constituting his own law, took another
case to the United States Supreme
Court.
Have State Protection
With the new decision that long
shoremen can sue under the state laws
the State Industrial Board last week
received scores of applications from
lengshoremen and others injured while
working on docks to have their cases
-eopened. The Industrial Commission
ers John D. Higgins, Richard II. Cur
ran and Mrs. Rosalie Loew Whitney,
are now busy on these applications.
The decision which enables water front
workers to sue under the state law was
handed down at the same time that the
much-criticized child labor decision
came down, but attracted little or no
attention.
When the workmen's compensation
law was adopted in 1914 it was intend
ed TO give protection to the thousands

raised the point that longshoremen did
maritime work and therefore came un-

must go to the admiralty court. They
won.
Judge Miller's Opinion
When the first test case went to the
state Court of Appeals Judge Miller
wrote the opinion, holding that this
large class of workers was entitled to
the protection of the state law. The
Federal court, in the first instance,
divided five to four, and reversed Judge
Miller.
The second test case reached the
United States Supreme Court a few
weeks ago and the State Industrial
Commission was elated when the court
changed its previous ruling and held
that the workers on the land and on
docks, which are the extension of the
land, are protected by the compensa-
ticn law Of this state.

He said the trouble started when two union men, who went to the mine to seek a conference, were killed by hired mine guards.
