Never in the worlds history has
there been a time fraught with so
much achievement or prolific Of so
much hope for the masses of our
country and the world as the dawn
ing of Labor Day 1924 ushers in and
records. The tyranny and sordid
selfishness practiced in the ages gone
by, and carried to a degree to our
present age, is disappearing as IN a
mist due to the constant insistence Of
the organized wage earnets that men
are created free and equal and that
there shall be no discrimination under
the law. Sorry indeed was the plight
of the wage Garner previous TO or
ganization into trade unions There
fore, let it be fixed indellbly in our
minds that progress IN his interest
and achievement for his welfare dates
from the information of his organ
ization in the industrial field, and
which has been so magniticently and
triumphantly carried forward and
upward under the banner of the
American Federation of Labor
Today as the writer views the stu
alton the masses chiefly through the
sacrifices and efforts Of the organized
wage earners Of our country, and the
world, stand upon the threshold Of a
wonderful evolutionary revolution,
that if continued TO be rightly steered
ard handled, will bring to them much
more freedom and a much greater
share of sunshine in life than has
been theirs heretofore. With the
dawniug of Labor Day 1924 there Is
40 class in cur country, or no place
so far remote that does not realize
and recognize the power and influence
which the organized labor movement
as exemplified by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is welding for GOOD
in the interest Of all the people;
Hence any little progress or small

'"THIRD Solar Planet-Third Solar Panst-If you
L receive this message answer in Morse code"
This message scrawled crudey upon piece of waste
paper deposited three weeks ago upon the editors
desk at The Seattle Star by Prof A. Dinglewit That
stout gentleman breathlessy explained that he had
received IL in Morse code not 10 minutes previous upon
a new type Of radio with which he experimenting.
MY machine is supposed TO pick up waves which
are longer than those absorbed by the everyday RADIO
he explained Il tuned il up today for trial and the
first thing that heard were these words repeated
time after time, family but distinctly Do you know
what II Is? It's n message from Mars"
message from Mars
The statement sent thrill thru the office. It was
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS II was the greatest
story of the day. But how could we be sure?
Secrecy was sworn by us all and set off to inspect
the machine
It was like any other radio receiving outfit mass
of wires buttons and lghts-entirely Incompetent
sibe. The Professor understood IT, however and
explained 1t. But since his explanation was also incom
prehensibe It need not be repeated We treated the
machine with awe because Of what il sgnified.
That was three weeks ago. Today we obtained the
whole story. He had answered the message and the
reply had been hurled back thru the starry emptiness
of space
The Martians, the Professor explained, had been
attempting communication with the earth for years
They had tried light signals, and failed and then
after tie discovery of radio upon that planet had
taken recourse TO the ether vibrations.
These, too, proved futile until a wireless message
was received by one of their machines This message
was definitely proved to have come from the third
hundreds of others were caught. These had been
decphered after several years of work by the superior
brains on that planet, and the English vocabulary
worked out in more or less complete form
With this TO go upon the Martians had rugged out
powerful wireless outfit and by sending long. slow
vibrations, had succeeded in reaching the antenna of
Professor Dinglewit's machine.
Their messages received by the Professor are
void of all articles propositions and contain only few
adjectves 1t is necessary for him TO have them
repeated many times and then only after careful
study is he able to translate
Since the Professors machine received messages for
over an hour last night he had great bundles of manu-
script, covered with unintelligble scrawl on the
table beside him at midnight.
Upon these he is feverishy at work Collarless and
unshayen, with coffee and smoked behring's as a diet
he is wormng his way thru the heaps of unconnected
words and promises complete translation of the mes
sage by Saturday.
He has already transmitted a series of questions TO
the planet, the answers to which are momentarily
expected.

NEWS WOMEN
 INDORSE CLUB
Board Of Governors For Press
 Society Is Appointed

The Sunday meeting of the Birming- ham Press club, held in one of the con- ference rooms at the Chamber of Com merce offices, was featured by the presence and enthusiastic interest of three of the young women members. These members, attending their first regular meeting, entered into the dis cussions in a manner that bespoke a new era for the club.
 When the members of the club last week declared in favor of retaining the old name of the Birmingham Press club it was done in the absence of these women members. The decision was indorsed by them. The proposal that the committee appointed two weeks ago continue it's efforts to obtain a clubhouse likewise was approved.
 There was a feeling manifested at the meeting that the new club, be it large or small, would be for all the members and for all the workers of the three Birmingham newspapers. The board of governors were named and are: John Gibson of The Age-Herald, Lane Carter of the News and Miss Buford of the Post. The club will take out incorporation papers.

WEALTHY. GERMAN
 KEEPS 2,5OO ALIVE
Doles Food To Group Of mtel-
 lectuals

BERLIN, March 23.-Twenty-fiv hundred persons of the intellectual class es-doctors. lawyers, artists, musicians, writers and composers--are being kept from starvation here through the char ity of wealthy Berlin paper manufac- turer.
 Hofrat Wilhelm Hartmann, decided that saere was need for action to aid charity work previously, and knew that professional people were being crushed by the high prices and scant demand for their art.
 His first step was to summon quietly leading figures in the various profess sions. He asked these people to give him lists of the most needy of their colleagues, especially persons who need ed aid but were too proud to let the fact be known.
 In this way he obtained list of 2,500 names of professional men and women here.
 Hartmann knew that money gifts were not always the most effective form of charity. The artist presented with gold would be apt to buy a fur coat instead of food. The manufacturer there fore began distributing food packets, paying for them out of his own pocket,
 Workers connected with American relief organizations here hope that the example set by Hartmann, will spur other wealthy Germans to similar actiy- ity. In this connection it will be recalled that Chancellor Marx has openly accus- ed German industrialists of not giving sufficient help to the intellectual class

AUCTION SALE
 DISAPPOINTMENT
 BELIEF GAINING
Bond Issue Of $s,OOO, 900 To Be Floated For B. R.,
 L. & P. Co.,, Is Report

Strengthening the belief that the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power company will not be sold Monday noon, , the time officially set by court, was a report emanating from New York Sunday that bankers are preparing to underwrite a $S,00O,000 bond issue. sponsored by bidders for the bankrupt road, but not until after the first of the week.
 The reported figure of the bond issue. while not officially confirmed here, was admitted to be near the amount which the newly organized purchasing com pany would ask for investment in the road
 Besides an allowance for extensions i, and improvements, neglected while the company was in the hands of the re- ceiver, the purchaser must take over about $4,600,000 of bonded indebted ness along with an accumulation of lesser debts.
 Officials connected with the property reiterated statements Sunday that they anticipate no sale Monday unless some hitherto unknown bidder puts in his appearance. Postponement for at least a week is expected.
 While not definitely determined, it is probable that the meeting of city com missioners with ". B. White, attor. ney for the receivers. and ". J. Wynn, city attorney, Monday morning will practically smooth out differences re- garding the ordinances covering fran chises for trackage.
 Wynn has passed considerable time over. the wording of ordinances so that the rights of the people in the matter would be taken care of, and it Is proba- ble that the present text will stand. Minor changes may be necessary in touching upon the steam-fitting con tracts.
 Under plans of the company being organized to take over the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power eom- pany, it's new bond issue will run for 30 years. For this reason they have asked the franchises be extended for that length of time

FOUR ORDINANCES
 WILL BE MOOTED
City Commission Has Heavy Program For
 Meeting On Tuesday

Two ordinances effecting downtown traffic regulations. third to eliminate gasoline filling stations from the side walks and fourth advocating that the renting of space in municipal build ings be placed in the hands of a private agent, will be considered by city com missioners at their meeting Tuesday morning.
 Most important of the first named, provides for parking zones for down. town stores having no rear entrance. More than 200 stores which have been put to no little inconvenience, they say, because of private machines plac- ed near their doors, will be affected by this measure.
 The other traffic ordinance is one fostered by W. B. Cloe, police and fire commissioner, which asks that right hand turns at the intersections of Second and Third avenues with Nineteenth and Twentieth street to be abolished
