KING GARY and
THE CZARIST COUNTS
By HARRY GODFREY
Federated Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK.-Elbert H. Gary, steel
king, who has announced that the IL
hour day in steel will be totally elm
mated as rapidly as the supply of
labor will permit, and who hopes to
be permitted to get immigrant labor
for that purpose, at this writing had
made no move to hasten the end Of the
12-hOur day by employing any of the
462 Russian refugees who arrived
here almost at the moment he made
his announcement.
Not all the 462 are men, of course,
and not all of the men in the number
could be expected to sweat and strain
even eight hours a day at the steel
furnaces, because none of them are
used to work. Scores of them never
did anything more arduOus or useful
than to carry their titles arOund-and
even that much exercise has been de-
MED them since the people of Russia
got tired supporting them in idleness.
Perhaps Gary had read in the news
papers of how, coming to America on
an army transport at the expense of
American taxpayers, they mutinied
when they learned they were expected
to help with the work aboard ship.
Gary is known to have a strong aver
sion to mutinies or strikes.
And as yet Gary, who is wont 10
complain bitterly about the made
quacy of the immigration quotas, has
made no protest against the impOrta-
ton of this regiment of non-producers
The 1852 are being cared for by
groups of czarists and Kolchak sym
pathizers here, who have let it be
known that the ex-nobles are willing
even to wash dishes until something
better turns up. That sOunds-as it
evidently calculated to sound-valiant
and picturesque-bu if any of them
actually do anything like that this
correspondent will endeavor to see
that credit is not withheld.
Some of the former Fcourtiers and
military aids and pets of the car
brought money with them. More did
not But they all brought something
which up to date has been almost as
good in America-bloOd curdling yarns
of terror at the hands of the bad Boil
sheviks. Some of them have escaped
so often from BolShevik prisons that
a suspicious man might conclude that
the Russians didn't want them around
even in prison.
Their plight, however, may not be
quite hopeless. There are those who
believe that they will find America,
under Calvin Coolidge and William ].
Burns, so much like the dear departed
days of the car that they won't feel
homesick.

RIVERA WRITES
FROM HIS CELL
ATLEAVENWORTH

New York-LibradO Rivera, accord
ing to Attorney Harry Weinberger OF
this city, is the only alien wartime
political prisoner willing to accept de-
portaton whose release is still refused.
The Mexican government and Mexican
labor organizations have repeatedly
petitioned for his liberation without
avail.
Rivera has refused pension OF sew
enty-fve dollars a month for the per-
iod he remains imprisoned, which was
recently voted him by the legislature
of his native state of San Luis Potosl.
In letter to his attorney, Weinberger
he says:
Contrasting with the inhuman at
titude that the government of the Y.
S. has assumed very particularly IN
Ricardo Flores Wagons and my case,
the Mexican government and some
! legislatures of Mexican states have
shown in one way or other their token
of Sympathy and good will toward our
unjust Imprisonment in this country
That sympathy was also made mani
| fest by the Mexican people to Mag
on's body after he died in a prison
cell. From Ciudad Juarez to Mexico
City Wagons remains were saluteC
and seen with profound respect, as the
remains of a great martyr who de-
voted his perciOus life defending the
right of slaves to a free and better
world. The following is copy OF al
official letter sent to me from the gov
eminent of the state of San Lui!
Potosi, my natal state. 1t speaks fOl
itself, though / did not accept thu
pension on account of the principle
l am fighting for in favor of tn
poor"
On June 10 executive clemency wa
denied to Rivera.

FIGHT DEPORTATION
OF POLITICALS
By HARRY GODFREY
Federated Press Staff Correspondent

New York.-Five political prison
ers, released from Leavenworth peni-
tertiary on condition that they remain
loyal to the U. S. Government, are
held here at Ellis Island, from whence
according to immigration Comission-
er Curran they will be deported on
the first available steamer. Attempts
are being made in two separate di-
rections to prevent their deportation.
A number of liberal and radical or
CARNATIONS have appealed to Wash
ington in the following message:
eve demand that the facts in the
case be carefully scrutinized before
any further action is taken"
The message then calls attention to
the fact that if Harding had intended
to have them depOrted he would not
have attached the condition to their
communications that they be loyal to
the U. S.
The other move to prevent the de-
pOrtations is being made by Attorney
Issac Schorr, on behalf of the General
Defense committee, who, after a con-
ference with the five politicals, an
nounced he would begin habeas cor
pus proceedings at once to stay the
deportations.
When the party left the federal Jail
there were six, but one Of them, J. A.
Mcdonald, was rushed over the Dor
der into Canada, without being per-
mitted to confer with friends or coun-
sci. Mcdonald served eight years in
the U. S. army and was honorably
discharged because of tuberculosis.
He had taken out first citizenship pa
pers before enlisting.
The others are Peter Green, who
came to America from Bohemia when
boy and can speak only English;
Joe GRADER, born in Russia, who has
been here Is years and is married to
an American girl: Don Sheridan and
Richard Brazier, British subjects who
have lived most of their lives in
America, and James Slovik, eXiled
from Russia as youth in 1905 for
anti-cZarist activities.
All were convicted at the l. w. w
trial in Chicago in 1918, and the de-
portation warrants under which the
government is trying to depOrt them
were issued in 1919.

EDUCATORS ARE
ALARMED OVER
CHILD LABOR
STATISTICS DISTRESSING TO
FRIENDS OF SCHOOL Chill
DREN.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The Su-
preme Court decision which voided
the anti-child labor legislation, has re-
suited in an increase in child labor,
according to statistics compiled by the
Government.
These show that one million chill
dren between the ages of 10 and 10
were employed in January, 1920, Of
which One-third were from 10 to IL
years old. Owing to- industrial de-
preston in 1921, the number dimin-
ished, but since then reports from 20
cities out of 81 reporting indicate in
creases, five cities reporting 100 per
cent increases.
In the first quarter of 1923 in Balti-
more, Bridgeport, Detroit, Hartford,
indianapolis, Jersey City, Manchester,
New Britain, Newark, New Haven,
New York, Paterson, st. Louis, and
Waterbury, the percentage Of increase
over 1922 is given as "a. June of the
present year saw sensational increas-
es in child labor especially in Connect
| icut, where in Waterbury 800 per cent
more were given work permits than
in June, 1922, and a general increase
of 81 per cent was reported to the
| children's bureau.
Educators are distressed not only
because of the failure of health which
must result from too early employ
ment of children in industry, but be-
cause the school can not educate the
child who does not attend it, and the
laboring child has no time for study
The contention of the child labor pro
ponent that the working child can &c
to school at night is wholly fallaciOus
it is pointed out, since to learn re-
quires application, attention, and in
terest, and none of them are possible
to body and mind wearied with {
days toll.

REGULATION OF
LABOR UNIONS
he'll There Be Laws to Govern
TEe2o Organizations? Is Ques-
ton Before Club

Should Labor onions Be Regulat-
ed BY Law, was ably discussed by
MS. c. H. Williams and r. B. Griggs
on Friday night at the home Of tho
iormer on Second avenue. Up to the
present time in this country there has
been no federal legislation to govern
these organization but Kansas and
Colorado have taken steps in this
direction. Mr.. Griggs took the affirma-
tive and Mrs. Williams the negative,
both having gone deeply into the
subject and produced superlative pa
.pers. OF course Mr.. Griggs held
here should be no, strikes, that the
unions should take their grievances
into court the same as individuals or
corporations do when difficulties arise
He pointed out that in New Zealand
his is done, there being laws which
are to prevent strikes.
Mrs. Williams held the workmeh
should have the same voice in legis-
lation as the mass of the people anu
hat it was sometimes necessary to
take drastic action in order to gain
2 justified end. The present high posi-
ton of labor has been reached, not
through legislation, but by other JUS
sifiable means, she held.
A spirited discussion followed the
two papers.

SEEK STANDARD
FOR HOSPITAL
Dr. Albert ]. Ochsner Predicts
Great Advancement For The
IrnEne Late Future

Standard hospitals, standard physf-
clans, standard nurses nd standard
methods of keeping cases Fecords
marked the passing of the slipshod
surgeon and the mushroom hospital
was voted by the many surgeons
who met in Chicago a few days ago.
Standardization has enabled ali
concerned to look forward to hospitals
that are first class throughout instead
OF being first class in spots only
declared DR.. Albert ] Ochsner of Chi
cago.
"It enables hospitals to eliminate
from their staff men who are hope
lessly unfit, but who have stayed Ola
because there was no standard Of edu-
cation, experience ethics or industry
by which they could be measured.
Staff members in the past have been
chosen with little regard to qualifica-
tions necessary"
In hospitals Of the future, how
ever, doctors will be rated by def
nitely known method. Hospital blue
books will be as common as the hotel
red books of the Pullman car. The
surgeon will no more be able to es-
cape his mortality record than dough
boy in the war could wipe out tho
A. w. o. LIS on his service record.

~. I~other and Sister Baraboo
Resilient journeys to Old Home
In Europe

Mrs. Samuel Goddard has returned
from her visit in Poland, having been
accompanied on the trip by brother,
John Meyer, Briolliot, Wisconsin,
and by sister, Mrs. Tillie Fucker,
Two Rivers, Wisconsin. They met
in Chicago, left New York on July
% and returned to America a few
days ago.
In Poland they visited their father
and two sisters. Three other sisters
reside in Russia but they were not
able to see them on account Of con-
ditions. Passports were not issued
to Americans before they left and for
that reason they did not attempt to
cross the border.
Mrs. Goddard reports the people
of Poland have enough to eat yet
times are hard. Progress of all kinds
is retarded by the action of the gov
eminent. The off "ials act like
band Of boys, Mrs. Goddard says
They are not yet used to governing
themselves and have not established
such regulations as will be Of the
greatest benefit to the greatest num-
Der. There is no work, the govern
ment not yet having been established
and ready to go ahead with needed
improvements. People are crowded in
living quarters, the government TAX
ing rooms wherever it is deemed nee
essary. The officials made the faith,
er of Mrs. Goddard take the furni-
lure from a room in order that it
might be used for government pun
3oses.
The citizens are getting along as
best they can but it may be long
time before there is peace and pros
perity, such as we know in America.
An American dollar will purchase
5000 francs, a franc in normal times
being worth about 20 cents.
It has been 33 years since Mrs.
Goldfarb left the old home and a.
though the trip was hard one, she
ooels repaid for the energy expended
in crossing and recrossing the Allan
tic.

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU l
 .HE AGE-HERA } Montgomery. Ala. March 16 ]

Gross revenue to the state from the use of convict labor in the coal mines should ne increased nearly $120,000 annually as a result of in- Grease in free labor wages which be- tme effective jn the Birmingham Seal fields today. Contracts for the sdse of convict labor are based on lthe prices of free labor, and when free labor wages go up the price paid to the state is also increased.
 Gross revenue from convict labor in Aldrich, Bellellen, Flat Top and Banner mines for the last fiscal year was $95o,00o. An increase of 121a per cent should run this total to $f,06S,750 the increase figured at l2la per cent being S11S,750.
 An estimate of the increase has not been made by the state. but Gov ernor Brandon today stated that the increase in free labor wages would mean an .aimportant increase in the revenue to the state from the oper- ation of the four mines with convict labor.
