do likewise a most wonderful SER
mon was preached portraying so Wv
idly the great good resulting from
our duty being we'll done as Odd Fell

study. His Interpretation of the
motto of the order, Friendship,
Love and Truth" were also most
beautifully exemplified and will live
in the memory of those who were so
fortunate as to hear him. In all 1t
was a most wonderful service because
of it's eloquence, the choice music and

WARNS LABOR OF RED PERIL
Samuel Gompers Says Soviets Plot to
Undermine Institutions of
United States.

Chicago. May 2.-President Samuel
GomDers of the American Federation
of Labor delivered a smashing attack
on bolshevism in America. He charged
that reds here were determined to
corrupt labor organizations and under
mine american institutions and de-
clared that their propaganda is being
millions of dollars, partly in cash and
partly in jewels taken from the no.
bility Of Russia. President Gompers
based his attack on the activities of
the Russian soviets at the Genoa con-
ference. 1t was in the form of state
ment issued following an address at
a mass meeting of workers gathered
at the municipal pier as protest
against the open shop movement. He
denounced as an emissary of Lenin
William z. Foster, who, associated
with John Fitzpatrick and Edward
Nockels, president and secretary Of
the Chicago Federation of Labor, was
considered the brains of the recent
steel strike Developments at Genoa
cannot escape the notice of thinking
Americans though the full significance
of what is happening there seems gen
orally lost in most of our newspapers"
said Mr.. Gompers. Il can think of
nothing that would constitute a more
needless and base betrayal of ciyiliza-
tion than American recognition of the

HARDING PAYS HIGH
TRIBUTE TO GRANTS DEEDS
President, in Address at Birthplace of
the Dead General, Says World
Needs His Spirit.

world today needs something of the
spirit of General Grant, President
Harding declared in an address at ex-
ercises commemorating the one hun
dredth anniversary of the birth here
cf the great military leader.
II sometimes wonder" the President
said, "if the magnanimity Of Grant,
the dogged, persistent, unalterable
Grant in warfare-the unconditional
surrender Grant-Wollld not be help
full in the world today. The great
world struggle, which we might rea-
sonably designate the Civil war of
western civilization, and in which we
so credibly and helpfulfy participated,
left peoples and nations pfostrate,
hardly. knowing which way to turn for
restoration. | cannot help but believe
which Grant welcomed victory, some
thing of his eagerness to return to
peaceful ways, would have speeded
the restoration and hastened the re-
turn to prosperity and happiness, with
out which there can be no abiding
peace"
Mr.. Harding paid tribute to Grant
as "the military hero of the republic
commanding figure in the military
history of the world; the surprising
example of magnanimity of all times
the most striking example Of the pos
II: -: fIn III.
dent and relentless commander in war,
and the modest and sympathetic pc
titioner for neace after victory"

 Regarding the freight rates for shipping ore from Mccarthy to Ia coma, MT. Barrett understood they were governed by the market price of copper and at the present price of that metal the rate is $17.50 per ton for high grade and $10 for low
 The freight rates on mining ma chinery etc. from Seattle to Me Carthy were also brought to Mr.. Stannard's attention and he sad that these rates would in time be adjust ed in favor of the shippers, especially if the country developed more ore, thus giving the Copper River & N. w. Ky.
