RIGHTS OF PUBLIC" ARE NOT PARAMOUNT

Washington, Sept. 7-The claim that the rights of the public are para mount over the rights of employers land. employed in the coal industry is rejected by the department of social action, National Catholic Welfare Council
 Tn their weekly press service, the |church men stamp this claim as "spe- cious' and misleading" and that newspapers that make this claim in- dulge in loose writing"
 "In the first place." the statement says, "the consumers of anthracite
 coal are considerably less. than half
 the total population of the country; therefore, they are not, in any accu- rate sense of the term, identical with the public In the second place, the right of the public to be supplied with anthracite coal Is not absolute; 1t is
 limited by the rights of the mine
 workers and the mine operators.
 of the miners and operators have
 obligations to the public, the public has likewise obligations to them.
 "In it's report on the anthracite in dustry, the United States coal com
 mission declares that the government has, or should have, power "to punish a conspiracy of either operators or miners, or both, directed against the general welfare of the people" It IS an ugly word, conspiracy It recalls the antiquated days when all strikes were legally regarded as conspiracies. Neither the commission nor the pub lie is justified in this stigmatizing and threatening either the miners or the operators for refusing to produce coal in. conditions which they regard as unjust, so long as neither the com mission nor the public has provided principles and methods of determin- ing the issues of justice.
 After all, neither the miners nor the operators have the legal status of chattel slaves to the public. When the public says to miners and oper- ators: You must agree and you must produce coa1-whether conditions be just or unjust is no affair of ours it is acting the part of tyrant and evading its own responsibility"

Prizes Given To American Concession Hunters
 May Embroi United States In Europe's Affairs

days, VITO told me of the great luck his corporation had met with ins a forestry concession in Czechoslo- vakia-formerly crown lands-at a bargain price. In Paris I heard of the Albanian oil pilgrimage of Amer ican gentlemen.
 In London, by a strange coinci- |dence, ex-Secretary of the Interior Fall and MT. Harry Sinclair, of Tea Pot Dome and other oil fraternal af- fairs, both met at the same spot. It | is true Mr. Fall stated to the news paper men he was travelling like other Amerieans-no connection with oil- and MT. Sinclair told of his oil pros poets as related above, and that he and MT. Fall were shortly leaving for Russia regarding oil, both' in Siberia and in Russia.
 From Three Rivers to Moscow. l It is long way from Three Riv- | CTS, New Mexico, where Mr. Fall and 1 MT. Sinclair began the negotiations l for thesnation's naval oil reserve now famous as Tea Pot Dome, to Moscow. But the contest for "lquod gold"-
 for the black slimy black water" of early Pennsylvania days-is the magic today that connects Three Riv-
 CTS and Moscow.
 The point to all this, if I have not
 made it clear, IS this-unless Amer ica keeps her eyes on her citizens who now abroad are entangling her lin resource concessions, they are likely to result in rows that do not bode we'll for this Republic if allow led to go uncontrolled and unattended.
 Many of these concessions of re
 sources have back of them a danger
 of entanglements that no mere wave of the hand of American statesmen's s words will down. It is perfectly evil dent that carpet-bagger gentry of an- other nationality who come into a bankrupt nation and grab off in their hour of need the fundamental re- sources that rightly belong to all the people of that nation is a matter more important to peace and international policy than may first be thought.

 And they should keep sharp eye on these financial entanglements of American concessionnaires-f the safety of our peace with the nations
 of the world, and for the peace and tranquility of these nations them | selves

TWO URISTS TELL
 BIGNESS OF UNION
Chief Justice Clark and Justice Bran- dies Firm Believers in Organiza-
 ton of Labor.

Following are statements of two leading men of the nation concerning
 labor organization, and its good ef-
 fleets upon the workers and a com
 munity as whole:
 LOUIS D. BRANDIES, Justice of
 the Supreme Court, From Business
 Ia Profession, Boston, Small, May
 nard & Co.,, 1914, P. 1879.
 The right of labor to organize is
 recognized by law and should be fully recognized by employers Most people admit the immence ser vice which the labor unions have rendered to the community during the last 20 years in raising wages, shortening the hours of labor, better ing of conditions under which labor | is performed, and protecting women and children from excessive or ill., timed work; but the services which l the labor unions can render in the future are even greater than they have rendered in the past The em- ployer needs the union to stay him from the fall of vanity the employees
 need them for their protection; the community needs them to raise the level of the citizen, Strong, stable trades unions can best serve these ends"
 Peace and prosperity, therefore, are not to be attained by any attempt to weaken trades unions. Our hope | lies rather in their growing strength ! LOUIS D. BRANDEIS-Attor at Law, now Justice of the Supreme Court. Testimony in Report of Commission on Industrial Relations, IIoI6. Senate Document AIS, 64th Congress, First Session, Vo. I, F. oo4.
 Mr. Thompson: Then you would nesses who appeared before this com |agree: MT. Brandies, with the wit mission last week on the subject of collective bargaining and concilia- ton and arbitration, that the best results are obtained in the industrial world where there is good organiza- ton, through organization on both the part of labor and the part of cap- |ita1?
 MT. Brandies: I have no question of that, and I think it is not only that, but 1t is the only safe course to ipursue.
 WALTER CLARK-Ghief Justice Supreme Court, North Carolina
 on Industrial Relations, 1916. Senate Document AIS, 64th Congress, Ist Session, Vol IT, P. Io455. Judge Clark: My view is that the object of the courts Is over and above
 any mere technicality to do justice between man and man. And as to those great corporations that require large numbers of 1aborers, if those laborers feel that 1t is necessary for them to take certain steps. in order to protect themselves, I do not see
 any reason why they should be made Icollective1y responsible for possible excesses of few of the men. They are trying to better their conditions; they are only in this world one time, and while here they ought to have fair show and square deal.

Crafty Propaganda
 By Unbiased" Press

Washington. Sept This editor ial expression by the Washington
 Post on the miners wage movement indicates how the people are lashed into hysterical stage for the benefit
 of coal owners:
 "In some quarters it is firmly be- lieved that there IS a conspiracy among certain labor leaders to bring about condition which will compel the government to take over all coal mines The conspiracy, it is believed, does not end there, but aims to na- tionalize all organized industry, be- ginning with coal and the railroads, and extending later to public service corporations, and perhaps even to in dustries, producing 'necessaries of life,' such as steel, cotton, lumber, sugar, flour mills, oil automobiles. canneries of meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, and similar activities. In short, the pending anthracite strike is regarded in certain quarters as merely the opening gun of desper- ate battle to overturn the American industrial system"

Employment Drops.

Washington, Sept. 7.-In July there was an employment decrease, as com pared with June, of I.8 per cent, says the United States bureau of labor sta tistics. There was decrease of Az per cent in total amount paid in wages and a decrease of 2.o per cent in av- craze weekly earnings.
 The bureaus reason for this small decrease in employment is because the period reporting is a seasonal one. It is significant that while steel bar ons were crying Tabor shortage" dur ing this period, the bureau reports that this industry employed 3 per cent less workers in July than in June, and that its pay roll was I3 per cent less

Railroads An Issue?

Chicago, Sept. 7-Government own ership and operation of the railroads is likely to be the issue in the next years presidential campaign, accord ing to Dr. David Friday, director oi the research council of the National Transportation Institute and former president of the Michigan Agricu1- tural College.
 "It is of vital importance that a impartial examination be made of all the results of government railroad operation wherever carried on, and that the fact be made known to the public" said Dr. Friday, who insists that otherwise an election on this issue would be "a farce"

Day Recognized as
 Belonging to All
 Who Served Nation

Memorial day is generally obsery- ed throughout the world this year, due in large part to the efforts of the American Legion, according to the following announcement made at Le zion readquarters at Indianapolis:
 originally designated by the Union veterans of the Civi war as particular decoration day for their fallen comrades, May 30 gradually has become day set apGrtin mem- ory of all Americans who died for their country. Although it has long been the custom of many southern states to observe holiday of their own on April 26, the tendency to uniform observance has been appar- ent since the world war. The Ee- zion, composed of both the North and the South. officially adopted May 30 as its Memorial day and posts of the World war men on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line have, for the last three years, simultane- ously honored the dead of the Civil, Spanish-American and World wars.
 May 30 International Holiday
 When the Inter-Allied Veterans federation, made up of World war veterans of France, England and Canada, Italy and the others of the allied nations and of which the Le- zion is a member, adopted the Le- gion's date for the observance of rites for the dead, May 30 became an international holiday, comparable only in universal observance to Christmas. In the years to come it will be observed by Legion posts and, allied veterans organizations in the following countries other than the United States; Canada. Belgium, France, Poland, Turkey, Mexico, Ar gentina, Brazil, British Isles. Chile, China, Cuba, Guatemala, Japan, Pe- ru, Porto Rico, Portuguese West Africa, Santo Domingo, Spanish Hon. duras, India. Venezuela and the Ca- nal Zone, Hawaii, Philippine islands, and the territory of Alaska.
 'As it did last year and the year before, the Legion will decorate and hold appropriate exercises over the grave of every American who sleeps on foreign soil, as well as thus hon. bring the graves of American and al- lied veterans who are buried in the cemeteries of this country. Legion posts in France, Belgium, Poland and Turkey will visit old battlefields and adjacent cemeteries.

AERIAL CAMERA BEING
 INSTALLED ON PLANE

The Northbird Aviation Company is now installing for use this sum- mer an Aerial Mapping Camera of the |. s. Air Service ''L" Type de- sign.
 The camera will be used for ma king Aerial Reconnaissance maps of districts which may be of interest for their timber, mining, trapping or power values.
 Interesting views showing the remarkable value of Aerial photog- raphy to a pioneer country whose areas are difficult of access, will be sent to the departments of the For estry Service and held in reserve for prospectors and others who may be interested in some particular dis trict.
 The camera will also be used to photograph Southeastern Alaska towns and industrial sites for com mercial purposes. Local photogra- phers will assist in the experimental and commercial work for the pres ent, but next winter dark room with the necessary apparatus will be added to the company's equipment.

 This week Mr. Gross received letter frors MT. Ruak2"an in which he staets that he is encouraged and de- lighted with the good spirit the Wes. arn people have shown since the trif was announced. He is of the opinion that this exdursion of Detroit boys will not only be of incalcuabIe bene- fit tn the boys. but will prove of won derful advertising value to Alaska.

Bodies Abroad Cared For

"A similar plan of keeping close and honored watch on graves of Americans buried overseas has been evolved. There will be in France four principal cemeteries wherein men of the A. E. F. will sleep forev- CT. At present special fine arts commission is working on the pro- ject which will entail, for the collec- tion of bodies and the Identification of cemeteries, an expenditure of more than s1,O0O,000. These fields of honor will be located at Belleau Wood, near ChateauThierry; Bony, near St. Quentin; Suresnes, near Pa ris, and Romagne, in the Argonne, near Montfaucon. More than 500 Americans will remain buried in England. A gift of land by the Bri- tish government allows for the fu- ture decoration and care of these graves. Under plans already adyan- ced a little cemetery for those Amer jeans who died in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales will be located at Brookwood, Surrey, England.
 This year still fewer of the proud, white-haired old heroes of '61-'65 will bear their colors and their flow CTS to the sacred ground where their comrades are in eternal biyouac Last year the thinning ranks were filled with sturdy, tanned young sters in their army drabs and navy blues who were honored to march at the sides of the veteran patriarchs on their holy mission. The present Memorial day finds the hosts Of Grant and Lee all but dissipated and as the youths of the World war strive for he honored files of the vanished procession, the day takes on a new significance"

Huge Task Completed

''The United States graves regis tration service has completed its huge task of returning to this coun- try the bodies of 42,023 of the A. E. F. who died overseas, but 30,- 900 Americans still remain perma- nently buried in cemeteries of the al- lied nations.
 ''To finance the Memorial day dee oration of graves overseas, each of the Legion's 11.000 posts was asked to subscribe an amount equal to five cents for each of it's members. A central committee of the Legion in France will receive the funds from this country and have charge of dec orating the individual graves.

All Veterans To Be Honored

Gold star parents, desiring that especial attention be paid to the graves of their departed, requesting a certain type of floral decoration or religious ceremony, were asked to communicate their wishes to the or ganization's national headquarters from whidh they were relayed to the legion post nearest the place of burial
 "The Legion will not confine its exercises and decorations to the memory of World war heroes alone. The graves of all vererans of all American wars will be visited and decorated and fittingly honored. Last year the organization requested its posts and units of the Legion auxiliary to seek out, in each .eom- munity, graves of all American soldier and sailor dead and to pre- pare charts showing where such graves could be reached. The efforts of the World war men have resulted in many graves of Civil war veterans

 As yet the monetary element has not entered into the labors of these Uni nf n ln prompting them to contribute to cor rect historical detail. The value of this service to the motion picture makers is beyond any computation in point of correct props. such as cos tuning, dog-teams, pack animals. biyouacs in the snow and every es- sential calculated to give to the world correct reproduction of the historical scenes attendant upon the conquest of Alaska.

 Now staid and departmental griz- zled veterans of the gold stampede days are found ready to step for ward and take charge of various scenes asd direct them just as they were enacted in the Dawson days.

CONSTIPATION OFTEN
POISONS THE SYSTEM
NATURE Has PROVIDED RELIEF

For every violation of her laws
Nature eXacts a penalty; but she also
has wisely provided relief, especially
for the ailments of the human system.
Since constipation is the most common
of ailments, Nature endowed certain
herbs, seeds, barks and leaves with
laxative properties. Early settlers. de-
pendent entirely upon Nature. used the
extracts from these plants to relieve
and correct constipated conditions.
Over seventy years ago an old
fashioned Maine country doctor, who
didn't believe in harsh cathartics origi-
mated a prescription known as DR..
True's Elixir. the True Family LaXa-
tive, which since has given relief to
many thousands of constipation suf-
ferers.
The herbs used in it's preparation are
imported and of strictly pure quality;
it helps to correct the cause naturally
and relieve its attendant evils; it puri-
fes the bowels as it cleanses.
Here is one of the thousands of cases
where DIR. True's Elixir has helped.
