Washington, Dec: 3-Without con-
doning the offense President Cool
idge today RENTED the sixty day
Jail sentence imposed on Charles l..
Craig, comptroller of New York CITY.
by federal Judge Mayor for contempt
of court
The chief executive acted in the
case-one of the most widely dis
cussed contempt cases in recent
years-upon receipt of a report from
Attorney General Daugherty with
reference to an application for par
don for Craig made by Senator Cope
land, of New York, and by members
of the board of estimate and appor-
tionment for the city of New York.
Mr.. Daugherty in effect recon-
mended against the issuance ofia
pardon and urged remission of sem
tence. Irrespective of what Craig by
his arrogance personally then and
now, justly deserves" but because
execution of the sentence might have
an injurious effect upon the admin
istration of the financial affairs of
New York City; because the SEN
tence might be considered as too
severe for one holding Craig's official
position, and because, although
through Craig's own fault, no court
had an opportunity to review the
case on its.
The attorney general fully SUI
ported Judge Mayer, whose views
were considered, in that whatever
action was taken 1T should not have
the effect of approving, or seeming
to approve the conduct of Craig to-
ward the court and should not be, in
, any sense, a Vindication."
'Craig's imprisonment" Mr..
Daugherty said, is not the greatest or
the most important question involv-
ed in the controversy. From his at
titude he seems willing. if not desir-
Gus, to assume the attitude of a mar
tyr, and it is conceivable that he
would be more disappointed and
punished by not being required to go
to Jail than he would be by serving
his sentence
The action of the president and
Attorney general in refusing par
don but in agreeing to a remission of
sentence Immediately raised the
question among friends here of the
New York comptroller as to whether
he would accept the remission. He
has been represented by those most
active in his behalf here as having
declared he would accept only full
and unconditional pardon, and, fail
ing to receive it. would insist on
serving the sixty days in the Essex
County, n. j.. jail to which ne was
sentenced by Judge Mayer in Feb
ruary, 1921.
Administration officials to whose
attention this matter was called said
that the action of the president was
final and that so far as the federal
government was concerned Mr.. Craig
could take the remission of sentence
or nothing,

HIGH WAGES BOOM
TRADES Of NATION
SAYS U. S. BOARD
View Of American Federation Of Labor
Supported by Federal Reserve Board
In Report.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Chalk up
another big score for the economic
views Of the American Federation OF
Labor.
The strongest possible support oil
the Federation's contention that high
wages mean prosperity is given by the
U. s. Federal Reserve Board which
keeps In close touch with business
conditions of the nation. The Re-
serve Board in its monthly review OF
business and Industrial conditions,
says:
Increased buying power of wage
earners arising from fuller employ
ment and wage advances has been
reflected in greater demand for con-
sumers' goods and expansion in re-
tail trade"
Endorsement of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor's views could hardly
be stronger. What makes the state
ment doubly significant is that II
comes from body whose relations
are almost wholly with bankers and
which reflects the opinion of the
banking fraternity, which is often
times opposed to organized labor.
But even stronger endorsement OF
organized labors views is given by
the Reserve Board which goes on to
say:
Many Employed.
Factories employing over 100000
workers and representing various
lines Of industry in all parts of the
United States report increases dur
ing the past year OF q per cent in the
number Of their employees, and as the
result of fuller employment and ia
creased wages OF SO per cent in the
amount of their pay rolls.
Growth In consumers demand is
reflected in the sales of and 10 cent
stores and of department stores which
during the first four months of 1925

we're Is per cent larger than during
the corresponding period OF last year.
The slight decline IN sales during
April was chiefly seasonal in char
aeter.
An element IN the increased buy.
Ing power Of consumers has been that
the cost OF living has increased rela-
lively little and the margin over nee
essary living expenses available fol-
other expenditures or for savings has
been larger Evidence Of this surplus
is found in the steady growth of saw
ings deposits month by month, the
volume Of savings accounts in about
300 reporting banks distributed
throughout the II federal reserve dis
tricts being 10 per cent larger on May
l, 1923, than year earlier.
I'm view of the present wage In
come there can be no doubt as to the
buying power of Industrial workers
and there has been little IL any. indi
cation of slackening in the consumers
demand for goods"

ANTI-UNION LABOR
POLICY CAUSE ROW

HARTFORD, Conn, July 3.-Anti-
union brethren of this city became
involved in an awful row at the last
meeting of the Hartford county man
ufacturers because the extreme anti
unionists wing wants more action
against organized labor There has
not been enough lawsuits, and lock-
outs, and spies, and turmoil generally
to suit some of the bitter enders,
headed by Clarence E. Whitney of the
Whitney Manufacturing company.
He started the fireworks when he de-
clared nominee for the presidency
of the association is not belligerent.
With this as a starter, the rumpus
got into full swing in short order.
The majority did not accept the
strong-arm beliefs of Whitney, who
was confident that the unions could
''be handled" Calmer council, how
ever, was for pussyfoot tactics rath-
er than open war. The row caused
postponement of the election.

CENTRAL LABOR
COUNCIL NOTES

The Aberdeen Central Labor eoun-
Gil met at the usual hour Friday eve
ming with President Johnson in the
chair.
Roll call Of officers showed all to
be present.
The committee working on the
laundries at Hoquiam reported visit
ing the Hoquiam council Monday
evening, and that the Hoquiam coun-
ell had instructed their executive
board to interview the proprietors.
Brother Michaels, president of the
Hoquiam council, was present and re-
ported that they were unable to make
any progress in organization of the
laundries.
Upon the recommendation of the
committee the councils Of both Aber-
deem and Hoquiam voted to notify the
public through The Labor Press that
the laundries of Hoquiam are nom
union.
The proprietors of these laundries
thought that the Aberdeen council
was overstepping its jurisdiction
when it took the matter Of organiza-
ton up with the firms located in Ho-
GUAM. It was poitned out to them
that as they were soliciting work in
Aberdeen, they were competing with
the organization of Laundry Work
ers here, and therefore under the ju-
risdiction of the Aberdeen council.
Every member of organized labor
was asked to be sure and demand the
label on their laundry lists. The I'M
ion label is furnished by the Gloss
Steam, Reliable and City Hand laun-
dries, all located in Aberdeen.
| Credentials received from the
Teainsters for Brother Wilson and
from the Painters for Brother Flynn
and upon motion the credentials were
accepted and the delegates obligated
and seated.
Communication received from the
Painters stating that DR.. o. r. Aus
tin had been placed on the 1--WE don't

questing Central Council to take SINH
lar action. Upon motion the request
and action of the Painters and Build
ing Trades council was concurred in
Upon motion the delegates to the
convention of the Washington State
Federation of Labor were advanced
