DY NEA SERVICE.

MACON, Mo.-When a bride Of IL
and a husband of 10. who earn 5000
a month together, can save half OF
1t to buy a home, there is no good
reason for parting them merely be-
cause of their youth.
Judge j.. D. Walker of the Macon
COUNTY Circuit Court believes so, and
so Mrs. Thelma Spurling's parents
are prevented from interfering with,
the couples married life.
One Of the ways Mrs. Squirting,
formerly Thelma Ess. proved to the
court she ought to be permitted to
remain with her hubby, Henry
Squirting, was to exhibit a bank book
showing a saving on the part of the
two of 800 a month since their mar
riage.
The giri-wife works in a Des
Moines store. Hubby tolls for q
saddlery company in that city.
A few months after their marriage
the brides mother sought to annu,
the tie on the ground that the Mis-
souri, laws had been violated in the
issuance of a license. But Thelma
returned to the scene OF the con.
fiict and in addition to dlscoursing
on the love that exists between the
two, got down to more material
things and showed the bank book.
That settled 1t.

THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL
(The Alaska Weewly)

we have come under the lure of Alaska. We go away with fine impress sions and with many suggestions which l hope will be helpful to you and and glorious part of the American Un- ion, and I hope for the ultimate de- velopment to bring you into full sister hood"
 Such were the parting words of the President to Alaska, spoken in the course of his address at Sitka, the an- cient capital, and the last city of AL aska to be visited by the presidential party. It is a message that every Al askan and everyone who has lived in Alaska will readily understand and ap preciate. The lure of Alaska, the fine impressions, recognition of the terri tory as in integral part of the union these are things that crowd this one short paragraph with meaning for Al askans; with encouragement that can not fail to be increased by the Presi- dents address on Alaska delivered in Seattle this week.
 What President Harding said in Sit ka, and elsewhere in Alaska, as we'll as what he says in Seattle, gives di-- rect contradiction to the pessimistic reports sent out from the North by some Of the newspaper correspondents who accompanied the presidential party. With a perversity that has been most eXasperating to all Alaskans, these correspondents have persisted in depicting the Alaska tour as a fail ure, a useless undertaking. They have tried to show that II is impossible that anything whatever should be done for the relief of Alaska, and in so many words have said that the Presi- dent and his cabinet officers have de- termined upon more restraints for Al aska rather than any enlargement of opportunity.
 Alaskans sojourning in Seattle, and former Alaskans who live in that city, have been peculiarly afflicted with these discouraging repoTts. Seattle newspapers, three to one, have given them no other information on the tour of the President. The exception has been the Seattle Times, which has car ried fair and accurate reports of the Associated Press and from it's own special correspondents, showing the President and his cabinet secretaries to be most friendly toward Alaska's
Seward daily gateway., 1923-08-15

interests, encouraging to hope of ben eficial changes, and in some cases ex- plicit in promise of relief.
 Newspapers elsewhere, by far the great majority of them, have been equally honest in their reports. The Portland Oregonian, the Tacoma Led ger, the Spokane Spokesman-Review, leading papers in the Pacific North west have carried the truth about the presidential tour daily on their first pages, with many helpful and hopeful editorial comments. A little farther away the San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Times have done like wise, while reputable newspapers in all parts of the country from those of such pre-eminent standing as the New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor on down the list to the small est of those affiliated with the Asso- ciated Press, have helped to spread the encouraging news.
 The deliberate miniterpretation of the Presidents thought and purposes with respect to Alaska may be some thing of puzzle to Alaskans. The req son for it is not far to seek. Certain news distributing agencies, represent ed in the presidential party, are deter mined to give the whole of Harding's tour the color of failure. Their tactics were disclosed with the Presidents first speech at St. Louis and have con tinued without change. The President is depicted as making an unfavorable impression wherever he appears, and as holding out no hope to people any where of change in conditions that give them cause fer complaint.
 The purpose in this journalistic en- terprise is entirely political From the viewpoint of seltiShly controlled n"wS agencies Alaska is merely an incid.'nC of no consequence except as its griev' ances may t4 twisted to the politica. disadvantage Of the Harding admins tration. That Alaska is being made to suffer in the good opinion Of all who read and believe these false and mis- leading reports, doesn matter at all. TLe ODJect is to injurc Alr. Harding politically, and ro opportunity that will work to that enc can bse overlook ed.
 The Alaska Weekly doesn't feel call ed to take up the cudgel in defense O. the Harding administration. Our con- concern is for the effect of the help ful and hurtful publicity on the wei fare of Alaska.
 We would not have Alaskans misled by the fact that three of the Seattle newspapers have preferred to publish the adverse reports, while only one has shown a disposition to be helpful and encouraging. The great mass of publicity attendant upon the Presi- dent's tour of Alaska, as it has appear ed in the newspapers throughout the country, has been and will continue to be beneficial to the territory.
 After all is said and done the re- suits to accrue to Alaska will depend upon the decisions of the President and his advisers, without any refer ence whatever to the twists and turns and inferences of prejudiced news paper reports. Everything that Presi- dent Harding has actually said about Alaska is most encouraging. Secretar- ies Hoover, Work and Wallace have
Seward daily gateway., 1923-08-15
spoken, even more definitely and to

spoken even more definitely and to the point.
 And even without the official assur- ances that have been given, Alaskans should be able to find a little cold com fort in the fact that since conditions can be made much wor:a they are It as.nahly cer:ain 70 ae nhde better. TEo Alas:la Weekly loe na for much more good than that in consequence of the Presidents visit; and feels competent to say that something will be done for Alaska in spite of the ef- forts of MT. Harding's political ene- mics to prove that he is incapable Of doing anything for anybody.

l ing them across the shoulders with a piece of rope on the end of which was knot.
 As a result of the mates brutality, one sailor lost the sight of one eye and was made nearly blind in the other A second man lost his hearing and two others were badly injured. When the vessel reached Antofa- gasta, in Chilli, the men complained to the American consul but the mate was not arrested and taken in irons to San Fransicco, as he should have been if the laws had been observed.
 Judge Partridge awarded judg- ments totaling $I4,ooo to the four in jured sailors. After outlining the case against the mate, as just told, he ..n4 said; ., ..,- :. ., :. of the utmost importance to the mani fest destiny of this republic upon the ocean that youth of America should be attracted to the sea. The building up of merchant marine necessitates body of seamen and almost univer- sally the class of men who have been shipped on merchant vessels has been high Sailors on an American ship, therefore, must not be subject to such treatment. It is not alone a question of common humanity, not alone a question, even, of the award of proper compensation for the natural results of such treatment; it is, besides, a question of the broad policy of this government to foster and extend our merchant marine, and, therefore, l take 1t that the courts should not seek to defeat a claim which, under all the circumstances, would be just, for i'll treatment of the seamen, for any technical reason"
 The International Seamen's Union of America and other unions on the Pacific coast are giving wide pub 1icity to Judge Partridg ge's decision, as a warning to captains and mates who may be disposed to emulate the tactics of the "Rolph's" first mate.

LABOR STRONGER
 TODAY THAN EVER
By POHN L. LEWIS, President, United Mine Workers of

| America.
 Labor Day once again reminds us | of the greatness of the American la
 bor movement It is well that one day has been set apart in each recur- ring year as time when labor may pause and consider it's aims, its pur- poses, its achievements, and it's ac- Icomplishments.
 And 1t is gratifying to all of us that we may look back over the years as they pass and count up the many benefits that have accrued to the workers and to the nation itself by treason of the existence of the trade union spirit in America Let us remember that without or ganization labor would be helpless to express itself or to take it's own part in the struggle against the forces that would destroy labor's liberty. It is only through close, compact and virile organizations and banding together for their mutual good that
 the workers get their strength to carry on this battle.
 The past year has been filled with trials and vicissitudes for organized labor A constant and steady attack
 has been in progress, commanded by
 powerful interests and influences for the weakening or the destruction of the labor movement. Every conceiv- able weapon and means of industrial
 warfare has been utilized by the at tacking forces. But the flag of trade unionism still floats at the top of the
 mast, unsullied and unafraid.
 Labor has lost skirmishes in the
 past year but 1t has won the great battle for the maintenance, of labor's rights, until, today, 1t is stronger and more efficient than ever before in the history of the labor movement. Our enemies have learned in the last year that organized labor cannot be destroyed. They have learned that the trade union is a legitimate Amer ican institution and that the American public has given its full approval to the idea. We have made progress rich progress.
 What the next year may bring forth no one can foresee. But organized labor stands in favor of peace in in dustry Labor desires that peace which comes with honor and through the application of the principles of fairness and justice. Labor will do it's part to establish and maintain that kind of peace.
 Let us all express here and now the hope that this wish may be full filled and that the next year may see the most cordial relations established and maintained between employer andemploye, so that the next Labor Day may come with cloudless 1n- dustrial sky.

FAIR TREATlIEN OF SEAMEN ESSENTIAL
 TO WELFARE OF NATION, U. 5. JUDGE HOLDS

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, N. C., Aug. 3I.-Fair and just treatment of American sea- men promotes the national welfare and IS essential to the building up of the American merchant marine.
 This, in effect, IS the opinion of Federal District Judge John s, Part ridge of San Francisco, in analyzing, from national viewpoint the con sequence of brutality to sailors upon the high seas.
 Judge Partridge gave his decision in the case of three seamen who sued for injuries inflicted upon them by the brutal first mate of the barken- tine "Ro1ph" while the "Rolph" was on voyage from Newcastle to Chili.
 "The evidence in the case" said Judge Partridge, "has developed a most amazing and dramatic situation. The mate, now admittedly a convict for the brutal treatment of seamen, is described as a giant, weighing in the neighborhood of 285 pounds, all bone and muscle, and with reputa- ton for ferocity as wide as the seven seas His treatment of the sailors on the various ships on which he was mate was known and discussed wher- ever seafaring men resort, at least on the Pacific coast"
 From the testimony given at the trial it appeared that the mate, Han sen by name, made drunken assault on a number of stevedores while the "Rolph" was in the harbor of Van couver. He beat several sailors on, the way to Melbourne, where the men went to the American consul and se- cured their release on the ground of the mates cruelty A new crew was shipped at Melbourne which, however, left the ship at Newcastle. A third crew was shipped for the voyage 10 Chilli
 The "Rolph" had scarcely left Newcastle when the mate began q sailors with belaying pins and beat

Building Prices Up Through
 New Scheme

Washington, Sept I-"Strip the building industry of the wholesale robbery as practiced through duplica- tion costs and you will bring about a normal condition of this industry" said Secretary-Treasurer Spencer of the building trades department, A. F. of L., in letter to Robert Grimshaw, New York city
 MT. Grimshaw styles himself "con- sulting engineer; lecturer on cost re- duction; manufacturing efficiency" When Secretary Spencer recently stated in the public press that only a small portion of the increased cost of building operations is chargeable to labor, and that material is 300 per cent. higher than pre-war prices, MT. Grimshaw hastened to write letter to the union official.
 Will you obligingly state what the elements are that go into the cost of building materials, other than laoor?" asked the consulting engineer.
 Secretary Spencer gave this infor- nation to the New Yorker:
 "When sales agency is created by a lumber company within the com mill are sold at a remunerative fig nre, naturally, labor Is employed, but it is the same company labor
 "The distribution of the products of the company by the sales agency is a duplication of labor for which a tre- mendous profit is charged the con sumner The producing company could as easily distribute it's own products as it could to sell to it's own sales agency, but the sales agency furnishes simple pretext through which excessive cost Is extorted from, the building public
 "What Is true of lumber is likewise true of brick and all other building materials. Strip the building indus try of the wholesale robbery as prac- ticed through duplication costs and you will bring about a normal con dition of the building industry.
 Until recently the labor employed in producing lumber in Florida was prison labor the cheapest in the world, and when the prisoner was un- able to do his bit he was fogged to death, but the buildin gpublic paid1the price through the company's sales agency, that invisible device by which cost is doubled"

Leasing of Convicts Opposed
 By Unionists

Greensboro, N. C., Sept. I.-"Hell- ish in principle and brutal in prac- tice," is how organized labor de- scribes the North Carolina convict leasing system.
 This use of convists was con- demned in unmeasured terms by the annual convention of the State Fed eration of Labor, which declared that Common decency alone should cause men to blush with shame who thus purchase the convicts, and the state of North Carolina should feel more shame in it's part of the crime than even the men who hire the convicts.
 ".The eyes of the nation are upon North Carolina is statement we love to make when expressing our pride Tn our states material advance ment We forget for the moment that when the eyes of the nation are upon North Carolina, those eyes are looking at state that still deals in human souls and human bodies, even as it did when slavery was a legalized business"
 The convention unanimously called upon the clergy, women's organiza- tions, the public press and other citi- zens and institutions to join with the labor movement ito end this dis graceful chapter in. our common wealth's history"

LABOR MUST STOP RULE BY INJUNCTION
 GOMPERS SAYS
Tells Chicago Federation of Labor It Is Time to Stop Invasion
 of Rights.
By International Labor News, Service

By International Labor News Service. Chicago, Aug. 3I.-Federal Judge George A. Carpenters record break ing injunction ordering International Ladies' Garment Workers Union not ' to attempt in any way to organize
 employees of Mitchell Brothers, drew
 from President Gompers of the A. F.
 of L. one of the strongest denuncia- tions he has ever made
 Addressing a Chicago Federation of Labor meeting President Gompers said::
 "It's time for the American Labor movement to put stop to the lnva- sion of the rights of the American people.
 "f haven't any doubt that if the workers employed by the Chicago l clothing firm which applied for the ! injunction were seen talking to a union organizer they would be evicted from their homes. The injunction is sued by Judge Carpenter prohibits
 employs of the firm or communicat- in fact, coming in contact with them in any way.
 "In court of equity, the court ex-
 ercises it's personal judgment The issuance of injunctions is not in ac- | cordance with a governmental prin- ciple, but is repetition of the courts personal judgment. It is revival of
 the kings idea of personal sover- | eighty.
 I don't know whether there Is a garment worker in this hall tonight,
 but if there is, and I have the oppor-
 tunity, I shall advise him not to re-
 turn to work until he has been or ganizd. I shall give him that advice in spite of any injunction that has been issued.
 "As a matter of fact, the judiciary
 of the United States, both state and federal, has gone injunction mad, and i it is time for American citizenship to
 make common cause to put a stop to
 these invasions of the rights of the common people"
