Baltimore.-The grand jury has set
an example for law violators by dis
missing charges against the foreman
of sewer contractor who stated he
worked employees 10 hours a day, In
violation Of the eiRht-hour law, and
that he intended to continue that
course.
President Broening Of the Baltimore
federation Of labor appeared before
the grand jury, where ne was actual

the eight-hour law.

the trade unionist, that it was not

Champaign Urbana Local No. 444,
Monday night at Labor Hall. Soon
after the order of business had been
called, a gentle rap on the door was
heard, and 10, and behold, In popped

handicap welcomed Mr.. German, who
took the floor for few minutes talk
on conditions elsewhere in the United
States. However, his subject was cen
tered around Sioux City, Ia, where
the printers are now on strike.
Aside from the usual routine of
business several important matters
were discussed and settled. John v.
Ross was given standing vote OF
thanks for the manner In. which he
had settled matters at the Flannigan-
Pierson shop in Champaign, when il
had seemed impossible for others to
accomplish this transaction.
Four members were voted into the
local and two travellers were received.
The former consists Of Manning Sell,
F. b. Mercer. F. T.. Lewis and n. c.
Fleak. The two travellers were those
of +. E. McCown and +. l.. Ratlif

New NYork.--In defending tn

"As constituted in the trans

This alone would be a sufficiently
wild extension of the powers

but this self-constituted labor
court goes further. II will not
only provide the verdict and the
sentence II will provide the case.

Pennsylvania railroad and the

Big U. S. Zeppelin
Work in Danger

Constance, Germany, June "a. P.
by MaiD-Uneasiness exists all
around Lake Constance lest the French
extend their occupation in Germany
cast to Lake Constance, and interfere
with the Zeppelin which is under con-
struction here for the United States
government.
Little has been said about the ma
chine Which is to attempt flight to
America. 1t is taking form in the
great sheds of the Zeppelin company,
at Friederichshafen, and no definite
predictions have been made by the
builders a. to when it will be ready to
make a trial flight to Berlin prepara-
tory to starting across the Atlantic.
Under the Versailles treaty Germany
is prevented from making Zeppelins for
her own use, but this prohibition nat
urally does not extent to the manufac-
ture Of giant aircraft for Frances al
lies and associates in the war. How
ever. the Germans fear France will find
some pretext to interfere with the
building of the great ship. or to prevent
the delivery of materials necessary in
the work.
Lake Constance has been so closely
identified with the building or Zeppe-
Inns that the citizens of all the towns
around the picturesque little Inland
body of water have keen interest IN
the mammoth craft which is being
fashioned for the United States navy.
Indications now are that the Yep
pelin will not be ready for Its trans
Atlantic fight before the late autumn
and possibly not till next spring.

CELEBRATE FOURTH

Portland. Oregon. July 4.-(By
The A. P.)-The President and Mrs.
Harding arrived in Portland and i'm
mediately entered upon a typical
Fourth of July program consisting
of a parade. speeches. and fireworks.
AS the Presidents train crossed
the Willamette River. the British
cruiser Curfew. anchored near the
bridge, fired presidential salute.
Portland's reception was one Of
the most enthusiastic given the Pres
ident and Mrs. Harding since they
left Washington on the trip to Alas
ka. Holiday crowds packed the
pavements from curb to building line
along the miles of city streets over
which the presidential party passed
from the railway station to the hotel
where a reception was held.
An outstanding feature Of the
parade in Portland was the partici-
patton of two companies of sailors
and marines from the British cruis-
er Curfew in the harbor. They
marched in the column with the
blue and khaki of the United States
Navy and Army.
The Joint participation of the Brit
ish and American forces was made
possible through special arrange
ments with the Washington govern
ment, which were necessary in order
that the British might carry their
arms for the occasion.
The arrangements were personally
approved by President Harding in
advance of his arrival here.
