made a demand upon Florida for an
investigation Of the circumstances
under which young Tabert was put
to death.

CONVENTION
COMMITTEES WORK

OLYMPIA, April 19.-When the an
nual convention Of the Department OF
Washington, American Legion, is held
in Olympia on September 1s. IA and
is. this city expects to entertain not
only the largest convention u It's his
tory, but the greatest gathering Of
veterans Of the World War that has
yet been held in the Northwest Con-
fidence that this will be the case Is
shown by the fact that the general
committee In charge OF arrangements
for the convention a few days ago set
the wheels Of its organisation in mo-
ton on a six months grind Of prepa-
ration. The committee began its
planning on the basis Of an attend
ance Of not less than 5000 members
Of the Legion and the American Le-
gion Auxiliary, the convention Of the
latter being held annually at the same
time and place as that of the Legion.
The general committee, with Virgil
Baker as chairman, was appointed
last week by s. R. Holcomb. com
mander Of Alfred William Leach
Post of Olympia, and met at dinner at
the Hotel Olympian. The first ac-
ton Of the committee was to deter
mine upon set registration fee of
IS for every member Of the American
Legion and Auxiliary attending the
convention. This fee will include ad-
mission to all OF the members and all
of the entertainment features planned
as a part Of the three-day convention.
In this respect the Olympia commit
tee will pioneer the way In Legion
conventions, though the registration
fee system has been adopted by many
other fraternal and club organizations
in the past and In every instance has
been found entirely satisfactory.

AMERICAN LABOR
GREATER PRODUCER
CONTINUED from Page one)

and the Miracle Of American Produc-
ton" The booklet exposes in an i'm
partial analysis of AZ Of the leading
industries of the United States the
fallacy Of the oft-heralded theory
that American labor is the costliest
in the world. It shows that while the
highest paid, American labor is the
cheapest for the reason that it pro-
duces from twice to five times as
much as European and Asiatic la
Dor.
Reduced to its simplest analysis.
the mirable OF American production
has wrought such a radical change in
manufacturing conditions that the la
Dor cost today is usually less than
one-half the total cost Of the prod
uct, Mr.. Miles. chairman Of the league.
points TO the real explanation as one
OF production. Man for man the
American worker is actually earning
twice his pay envelope in output as
compared with his inferior European
competitor.

niably receives in dollars and cents
the highest wage known in industry,
the "horse power he Is capable Of
developing 50 exceeds that Of his Hu-
ropean competitor that the difference
in wages Is eaten up IN the excess
production per man. This Is not a
new situation, the Fair Tariff League
rightly holds. and It arrives at its de-
duction by quoting responsible gov
eminent officials In a position to
know the real facts.
IN 1883, Charles S. Hill. another
protectionist. statistician of the De-
partment Of State, reported to the
Tariff Commission Of that time that
our manufactures amounted to 49,
O00, 100000, made by 5.250,O0O work
men, while England's was $4,000
100000. made by $4,000 worlzmen.
Here" ne reported, ''is the positive
proof that American mechanics in
the aggregate accomplish exactly
double the results of the same num-
Der OF British mechanics. They are
therefore very justly paid double the
wages"
Public Misguided.
What was true in 1888 is equally
true in industry in 1928. "a compar-
ison Of English and American govern
mental statistics" declared Mr..
Miles, shows that the average
American wage-earner produces from
two to three times more output in
money value than the English wage
Garner. and uses from two to three
times as much horse power. In the
manufacture OF boots and shoes. five
times more horse power and three
times more output in money value;
In gloves. hosiery paints and var
nishes, firearms and ammunition,
and soap, twice the horse power and
from two to three times the value. In
silks, one and One-third times the
horse power and two and one-half
times more in value.
AT double the daily wage, Ameri-
can labor would therefore be cheaper
than the English in these industries
and others Of like character" Mr..
Miles contends. But instead of be-
ing approximately double the Euro
pean wage, as the public is commonly
lead to believe, the average American
wage scale is now only about so per
cent higher than the corresponding
English scale.
Exports Heavy.
Forty-eight per cent Of all the ta-
BILE cutlery made in the United States
in the last three years was exported
because no country could make it
cheaper, according to reliable statis-
tics. The common bread knife, with
fluted edge and nine-inch blade, is
exported the world over for six and
one-fourth cents. There is about
three cents worth of labor in it,
These are typical examples, par
alleled on every hand" declared Mr..
Miles. Automatic and other ma
chimes make labor today so small a
part of production costs as to require
only about half the tariff duties of 40
and so years ago. The public, not
the profiteer should get the benefit. +"
There is only one deduction from
this relatively small proportion that
labor costs hold to the selling price,
the Fair Tariff League charges, and
that is that labor and the public gen.
orally are defrauded by excessive
rates.

Reckless Motorist Furnished Every
Kind of Thrill That His Passen-

The MuscOvite who was driving our
Benz over a Persian mountain pass
had the most original method of de-
scending a mountain side that have
ever seen.
Instead of putting his clutch into
second gear, he would shut off his
o er entirely and then go charging
downward at terrific speed. the big
car lurching from side to side of the
precipice bordered road like a runa-
way locomotive.
The ordinary curves he took on two
wheels. presumably to save rubber, but
when we were within a few yards OF
one of the hairpin turns with which
the road a5ounded, with nothing but
emptiness ahead. he would suddenly
lam on foot and emergency brakes ST.
mrltaneously, thus locking his reFr
wheels and causing the stern of the car
to skid around the corner.
And sometimes, 1t the narrower
places. where the outside of the road
ended in "a drop into nothing below

would give Us an extra thrill by grip
