LABOR DAY MARKS
PROGRESS OF THE
WORKING PEOPLE
BY John J. Manning.
Secretary Treasurer, Union Label
Trades Department, American
Federation of Labor.

Secretary Treasurer, Union Label
Trades Department, American
Federation of Labor.
The significance of Labor Day and
all that it implies, can be best
realized when a comparison of in
dustrial conditions as they now exist
in many industries is made with what
obtained in the not very distant past.
The era of oppressively long hours
of labor for small wages, poor living
cneditions and housing, decidedly
limited school facilities, insanitary
conditions in mine, mill and factory,
have given way to a better day for
no other reason than the activity of
the labor movement.
Despite the unwarranted and I'M
just propa ganda of those hostile to
US, steady and permanent progress
has been made but there Is no time
for idling, as much more is to be ac-
complished before that industrial JUS
tice for which we are striving is firm
ly established.
Through the instituting and devel-
opment of national and international
unions, departments, state and city
declarations of labor, our field of ac-
tivity has been broadened and greater
opportunity for education in eco
nomic and industrial problems has
been afforded, with the result that
our membership is closer in touch
with current exents in which we are
vitality interested, than any other
set of workers in the world.
One of the really big things which
is rapidly being recognized by the or
ganized workers is the great agency
for good that can be made of their
power of purchase, when they dis
criminate between union and non
union goods.
The knowledge that each time a
purchase is made by trade unionist
he becomes an employer, is taking

WARTIME SLACKERS ARE
HELD TO BE IMMUNE
Evadors Of the Draft Are Exempt
From Punishment, Declares
Federal Judge.

Cleveland, O.-Thousands Of men
draft law during the world war and
are Tree are exempt from punishment
by the government under a ruling
handed down here by Federal Judge
ID. c.. Westenhaver. who declared the
Joint resolution of congress which the
government has relied upon to OBJ.
viate the statute of limitations in the
prosecution Of slackers and draft
evaders is merely IAN expression Of
legislative opinion"
Judge Westenhaver ruled that only
when indictments had been return
ed or information had been filed be.
fore the expiration of three years
from the time the alleged offense was
committed can the government con-
tinue prosecution against draft evad-
ers.
The decision was handed down in
the case against Charles Salberg, Of
Canton, who vas indicted for failure
to register on June 5, 1918. Salberg's
counsel invoked the statute OF limita-
tions, arguing that the government
failed to have Solberg indicted until
last December 20, although prosecu-
ton was barred under this statute
after June, 1920.
To c~ontrovert this Assistant
District Attorney Pilliod cited the
joint resolution Of congress approved
last March 8, under which it is de,
clared hat no peace proclamation
act or resolution shall be construed
as terminating the a~menability to
prosecution and trial Of persons who
failed to comply with the provisions
OF the draft law.
This is a ~declaratory act. and not
an enacting resolution, Judge Weston
haver held in dismissing Salberg. II
does not create any new offenses nor
modify any existing law. 1t may be
entitled to respect as an expression OF
legislative opinion, but n must look
to acts, joint resolutions and procla.
nations co~mprehended within its
descriptive language in order to de.
termine what the effect thereof may
be.
THE joint resolution Of March s
declares negatively that certain acts
and joint resolutions OF congress and
certain proclamations OF the president
shall not be construed as having a
certain effect. This is the equivalent
only of an expression Of congress OF
it's opinion of such things. This is not
the equivalent Of declaring that they
are to be given a specific or different
meaning. Much less is it the equiv.
alent of an enactment of law with o
retroactive effect"

Gerry, Rhode Island; Reflin, AL
ALBANIA: Hitchcock, Nebraska; Nc

without delay and the bill will go to
the president when the conference
report is approved by the two houses.
Under the bill as passed by the sen

gress for ratification.
The senate, without a roll call

may believe to be just, subject to
the approval of the congress by act
or Joint resolution" The bill as
passed by the house authorized the
| commission to make settlements with
other nations upon terms similar
but not more favorable" than the
British agreement and without ap-
prevail by congress-. The Robinson
amendment was accepted by Senator
Smoot, republican. Utah, member Of
the debt commission. who had indi-
Gated during the debate that he be.
lieved ii might be necessary to make
settlements with the other nations
upon terms more favorable TO the
debtors.
The British agreement as approved
without qualification in the bill as
passed by both houses provides for
the payment of the $4,000, 000. 900
principal over a period Of 81 years
with interest. at 3 per cent for the
first 10 year, and 3h per cent there
after.

senate without a roll call was one by
Senator Harris, democrat. of Georgia,
providing for the enlargement Of the
debt commission from five to eight
members, the three new members to
be democrats. President Harding in
selecting the present five members
named only republicans.

THRILLING TALE BY
LOST SHIPS CREW
SURVIVORS TUSCAN PRINCE ALL
TAKEN OFF OF A BARREN
ISLAND.

Seattle, Wash.-A story of a long
battle through thick fog and heavy
seas that eliminated in s~hipwreck on
the barren coast OF Village island, OF
a long wait in cold and driving snow
before rescue finally came, was told
by survivors OF the wrecked steamer
Tuscan Prince on board the coast

flashed into Seattle by radio as the
Snohomish neared the entrance TO

steamer Santa Rita was taken
ashore at Clio Dose by the cutter
Algon Queen with the aid of n surf

TO the Snohomish, which viii take
them to Port Angeles.
The Tuscan Prince, bound from San
Francisco to Seattle with "A cargo OF
pig iron and coke, struck a reef at
Village Island. near Ucluelet, at 3
O'Clock Thursday morning. AT that
time, according TO officers, the reck-
oned position was in deep water
somewhere south OF Cape Flattery.
An unknown northwesterly current
and a series of %soundings. which
when applied to the chart gave a
wrong position. were blamed by them
for the error in reckoning that re-
suited in disaster.
The Tuscan Prince hove TO until
day light could make navigation less
hazardous and, menaced by huge
seas, struck without warning. There
was a brief call for help by radio,
then a great wave smashed oyer the
side and put the wireless set out OF

vessel was stranded and had broken
in two. The first wave had carried
