THREE
LABOR SHORT

sylacauga, October 18.-tspecisl.) The labor situation In sylacauga is beginning to be a serious problem. Many labor agents have been active in and around here to such an extent for the past 80 days that s local shortage of labor has developed. This Is especially true among the ne- gro iaborers. Many of them have returned to the northern manufac- turing plants, while some are in the coal fields.
 The industries In this section arc complaining of handicaps that arc being caused, especially at the marble quarries. The manager of one quarry states that the thing is getting ge rious and unless some are kept at home It will be hard for his company to continue operation.

MEMBERS OF COAL
 COMMISSION RATED AS NON-P T|SAN
Presidents Selection Meets Public ApprovaI-Labor and Capital Not Especially
 Pleased
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald.
 800 Davidson Building

Washington, October 13.-(Spe- cial.)--In appointing the members of his coal fact-finding commission, the President was apparently determined to select one man with scientific information, and the remainder with total lack of technical knowledge of the business of coal mining.
 The President Is congratulated for his selection. George Otis Smith. head of the geological survey, is U scientist, and as much removed front any consideration that politics or praeticality might suggest. The other members of the COT mission, because of their little knowledge of the coal industry, have no ureronceived ideas
 Before the commission was ap- pointed. Alabama operators were afraid that because ot the short time in which the commission will investigate, justice could not be done the Alebama fields. ln which conditions shs Hpiy diffar from con- diuons In any other nalds. Mir. Smith, however, knows such aiffar- ences, and Clark Howell of Atlanta will certainly hear ths Alsbana ease with sympathetic attention.
 Labor Is Offended
 From first remarks it is judged that neither capital nor labor re- gards the commission with arprova1. Labor, especially. is said to bs of tended. It expects sympathy from MT. Smith and from Edward ' De- vine of New York. writer or social questions. and Charles P. Nein os IT. linois, who was at one time commits uf Af lah l.F Roosevelt
 But none of the men. labor indi- cates. are tits men" Likewise, nont of them are capitalists.
 The commission will shortly organ ize in Washington. probably with MT. Smith as chairman, although it Is understood that the President Is hopeful that John Hays Hammond will be chosen chairman. MT. Ham mond has long been active In repub- lican politics. The commission will investigate the mining. wholesale and retail selling of coal. price fixing distribution and consumption.
 About Nationalism
 The commission will also investi- gate the proposal of organized labor that coal mines be nationalized. The indications are, however, that the commission will render an adverse report. The prima facie evidence Is that the majority of the appointees are opposed fundamentally to gov ernment ownership.
 Senator Borah. author of the reso- lution under which the commission was appointed, included the question of standardization. not because he favored nationalization. as he ex- plained, but because he wanted the problem investigated.
 The commission Is practically non partisan. Three of the members are democrats. There Is general satis- faction that in the list Thomas R Marshall, former vice president, is included.

the American prohibisionist is the fact that Americans will not patron ize their own vessels If liquor-laden vessels are available.
 Albert D. Lasker, chairman of the United States shipping board, recog- mixed the fact early following his appointment. The result was the open sale of liquor on American vessels.
 So confident Is England that Amer ioans will not follow the flag as long as 1t files over a floating "des- ert." that its press dispatches indl- cate conviction that Americans would ride to Nova Scotia or Halifax or Quebec to take passage on a British vessel rather than stop In New York to board an American liner.
 Congressman who have expressed themselves believe that the United States should honestly observe its laws at whatever sacrifice, but doubt the wisdom of the Attorney General in endeavorins to apply the law to other countries.

scribed as Americas dog-in-the- manager attitude.
 In order that the United States might compete with other countries in ocean travel, the object of this administration has seemed to be to put the United States on terms of equality. Because foreign vessels sold liquor, 1t was determined to sell liquor aboard American vessels. When 1t was concluded by the ad- ministration to observe the law of the United States, 1t was synchron- ously concluded to require other countries to observe the law of the United States.
 France and England, 1t is under stood. are preparing to insist that the United States. in determining at 8 late hour to support it's eorstitu- tion. observe at the same time the international law respecting the freedom of the seas.
 Point to Embassies
 France and England. It Is learned In Washington, will insist that their vessels, touching American shores and Immediately departing, are ex- traterritorial if their embassies in Washington, stationary. of course, and permanent. are extraterritorial.
 The question has been raised re- specting the right of France and England to stock their embassies with liquors. It is said to be the intention of France and England to declare that they would commit no offense against the United States were they to send their vessels to American ports stocked with liquors, so long as they observed laws deny Ing the right of sale and barter.
 France will contend, also, 1t is said, that America would transgress against the international law declar- ing the seas free wore It to insist that foreign vessel cannot select its port of entrance. Finally, 1t Is not denied that irrespective of law, France and England will continue to soil liquor aboard their vessels. It Is indicated that they will have lit- tie difficulty in avoiding legal tech- nicalities.
