Risks an Attack

Washington-The American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor is facing attack if
either Coolidge or Davis is elected IN
November. By unanimous vote, the
executive council indorsed the report
on the presidential campaign present
ed to it by Samuel Gompers, Frank
Morrison and James O'Connell, de
claring for LaFollette and Wheeler on
The basis Of their platform on domes-
tic issues and no their individual rec
ords on these same domestic issues.
1t holds to non-partisan political
action and by implication reiterates
its support OF the league of nations
and its hostility to Russia, but 1t
recognizes that the dominant issue
this year is the right of the working
class to steadily improve its condl-
ton. This right, it finds, the Repub-
licans and Democratic parties have
challenged.
Calling attention to the fact that
Republicans and Democrats alike, in
their national conventions, "flaunted
the desires of labor" the report men
tions the anti-injunction, judicial
election, right-to-organize, child-labor
amendment and other labor planks IN
the LaFollette- Wheeler platform,
which it approves. 1t finds the OLD
party organizations "are in a condl-
ton of moral bankruptcy which con,
stitutes a menace to our country and
its institutions.
This pronouncement comes from
conservative body of officials in the
trade union movement, of whom prob
ably only one man-Martin F. Ryan
Of the Railway Carmen-would have
been for LaFollette had the Demo
Gratis adpoted less hostile platform
and named a colorless candidate. 1t
registers the decision that the whole
power of oragnized old-party politics
and organized business is aligned
against the program of the labor
movement.
Commenting editorially on this re-
portance of the Endorsement given the
ticket by the A. F. of L. officials may
be small, but there is "an underlying
significance in the executive councils
action which it would be folly to over
look. In their decision this year they
have been less their own masters than
at the outset of any previous cam
paign. The pressure for third-party
action among the rank and file. Of
labor. not originated but merely for
warded by LaFollette's candidacy, has
been greater than ever before. So
widespread and pronounced has this
pressure been that had Mr.. Gompers
and his staff desired to back the Dem
ocratic candidate, as heretofore, they
would probably have risked their
tenure of mower by so doing"
On the Sunday when the Gompers
decision was made public, delegates
from local unions of every trade
throughout Maryland met in Baltl-
more and organized committees for
the state campaign for the LaFoll-
ette- Wheeler ticket. Building trades,
printing trades, clothing trades, rail
road men-all took hand in the JOB
of putting the independent slate OF
presidential electors on the ballot,
and in arranging for a fight for votes
in every precinct in the cities and in
the farming and mining sections.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 21.-
Oliver Cameron, who tried to end
his life at Portland, Ore, in re-
morse for q murder he believed he
had committed here % years ago,
will probably never be brought
back to Birmingham to stand trial.
Although w. J. Gay, who was

s. Borden, have both expressed the
desire that Cameron be returned to
face trial on an indictment charg
ing assault to commit murder, of
ficials here today said that funds
for his return are not available. If
brought back Gay or his family
will have TO bear the expense.
Cameron fled after shooting Gay,
believing him dead. Haunted for
22 years by the memory of his deed,
he finally jumped from a railroad
bridge in an effort to end his life
but was rescued and then confessed.

cials from Portland police caused an
investigation, which revealed that
Gay, now 81 years of age, is living

LOS ANGELES, July 21.-Did
you ever travel into Il foreign city
and find yourself without friend
to speak to who understood your
own language or without even II
book or paper in your own lingo to
read?
That's what happened to Col. d.
y. Quinlan, of the Judge Advocate
Corps, u. S. A., when he struck
Budapest, Hungary, recently while
on q government mission, according
to q. story which he told to Frank
Wiggins, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce in this city, today.
However, the colonel says he
found life saver. For after an
almost vain search for something to
read to while away his first even
ing in the Hungarian city, he found
copy of Southern California
Business, the magazine published
by the Los Angeles Chamber, which
was being sold at one of the kiosk
news stands. Col. Quinlan said that
also during his travels he came
upon chamber of commerce fold
er pasted on the wall of hotel in
Warsaw, Poland.
Which proves that news of Los
Angeles does reach Il few out -of-tne
way corners of the globe.

MELBOURNE, Australia, July q
"A native boat man, tacking His

A Grewsome Story

From blacks who live on the slopes
near Cape Wilberforce, the native
boatmen heard for the first time
the story of the end of the Douglas
Mawson. The steamer, it appeared,
had been trading in the gulf just
before the disaster.
The ship-wrecked party made
their way to the beach. in q small
boat. subsequently,, a large force
Of black Aborigines, a fierce tribe
from out Of the bush, of whom the
blacks that lived along the slope
were .justifiedly afraid, rushed upon
the survivors.
The males, putting MP what resist
ance. they could, were impaled on
the sands with huge spears and lat
er buried. The two women, wife and
daughter Of james Willetts, a pass
enger, who had boarded the steamer
at Normanton, were. carefully spar
ed. When the slaughter was over,
the blacks moved off into the bush, ,
taking the women.
Once, when a search party of ma
tives would have intervened, the
Aborigines made signs they would
spear their captives to death if
rescue were attempted or if the wo-
men made any effort to signal their
plight to possible passing vessels.
Representative Nelson, from the
northern territory yesterday urged
Premier Bruce to send armed men
to search for Mrs. Willetts and her
daughter, in the hope they may yet
be rescued. The government au-
thoriZed the enlistment OF vOlun-
teers and the reinforcements of the
police for Il strong force
will be necessary.
The crew of q japanese steamer
and Malay crew recently were
in the same locality.
