Labor Party Is
Formed at Meeting
At Reading, Pa.

! FADING, Pa, March ga La.
Dor Party was formed in this city
at conference of several Labor
Unions, the Federated Farmer-Labol
Party and the Workers Party held al
the Labor Lyceum here. Provisional
officers and an Executive Committee
of nine was elected.
An appeal will be sent to all labor
organizations Of Reading urging
them to affiliate and to send dele.
gates to the Executive Committee
The question of national affiliatior
and of sending delegates to the June
18th Convention was laid over for ac-
ton to the next conference which
will be held May Second. The So
cialist Party was not represented.
The Executive Committee was in
structed to prepare a draft of plat
form and bylaws of the organiza-
ton to be submitted to the next con-
ference for adoption.
j. Newton Brown, of the American
Federation of Railway Workers, was
unanimously elected chairman, and
James Master was elected secretary.
The resolution introduced by Dele
gate Keiser, of the Moulders' Union,
and adopted unanimously by the con-
ference follows:
Whereas, Events of last several
years have shown conclusively that
the governmental power is constantly
being used against labor,
Whereas, the Teapot Dome in
vestigation has again proven that
both the republican and democratic
parties are equally corrupt and are
mere agents of big capital,
Whereas, signs of a new unem-
ployment crisis are already evident in
many parts of the country and mil
lions of farmers go bankrupt while
high government officials loot the
wealth Of the nation and,
Whereas, a nation wide move
ment for labor party is now taking
place for the purpose of uniting poll
tically the workers and poorer farm
ers,
"Be it therefore resolved that this
conference, consisting Of representa-
lives of various labor organization Of
Reading, Pa, joins hands with or
ganized labor of other cities and de-
clares itself as the Labor Party Of
this city"

Canadian Pacific
SGcre d COIC of
Dominion Papers
By SYDNEY WARREN.
(StaR Correspondent Of Federated Press)

VANCOUVER, B. c., March 21.
Oliver Twist had nothing on the
Canadian Pacific railway when it
came to asking for more. Canada's
railway octopus with it's tentacles
into every phase Of Dominion activ-
ity, despite the fact that in 1922 it
cleaned up S129, 100000 surplus over
operating expenses, is asking for the
right to take more IN the shape Of
higher express rates.
The Canadian Pacific railway has
been given millions of dollars worth
of concessions in the form of tim
Der, mineral and coal lands, apart
from outright cash subsidies. The
total of these would easily reach thy
$400,000,000 mark.
The G. P. r. owns a vast system
of railway and steamship lines,
wharves, hotels and fleets of vessels
plying in all ports of the world.
It's employees are VIGOROUSLY poorly
paid, skilled as we'll as unskilled,
and in many cases the latter are
forced to compete with coolie labor
to hold their jobs. The company
has grown to regard Canada as its
private preserve for exploitation
and guards its privilege zealously.
The c. P. R. heads the Sacred Cow
list of nearly every newspaper of
any size in the Dominion and in
the columns of these newspapers, as
on the lips of the old line politicians,
nothing must be said against the
railway company and at all times
must it be shown the profound re-
spect due a Sacred Cow.

Child SLAVERS
IN BITTER FIGHT
ON AMENDMENT
Mobilize in Washington
Before Hearings

WASHINGTON, d. c., March %
Representative Israel M. Foster
Of Ohio, Republican, sponsor for the
federal child labor amendment IN
the house Of representatives, and a
member Of the house judiciary COM
mittee, brought this question to q
vote in the committee, after the
long extended hearings having closed
few days previous.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
majority Of the committee say they
are in favor Of he bill, the opposi-
ton of the chairman, Representa-
/ tive George S. Graham Of Philadel-
phia, Pa, one of the "old guard"
Republicans Of that state, has pre-
vented a favorable rdport. The
chairman took the position that tha
committee should not report the
amendment until the hearings had
been printed, and he himself had
had an opportunity to make an ar
gument to the committee members
against the amendment. So il went
over until April.
Textile Bosses There.
During the hearings it became ap-
parent that the opposition was
strengthening its lines and throw
ing in its heavy forces. The last
two days brought before the com
mittee the Washington representa-
tive of the National Association Of
Manufacturers, James A. Emery,
and Representatives Of the southern
textile interests led by David Clark
of the Southern Textile Bulletin.
Mr.. Clark introduced to the commit
tee two members of the State Vel
fare Board Of North Carolina to
testify in opposition to the federal
amendment. There was no indica-
ton on the part of either Of these
two members Of the State Welfare
Board that their appearance in open
alliance with manufacturing inter
ests was anything unusual for pub
lie officials in North Carolina.
In addition to the National Man
ufacturers Association representa-
tive there appeared two or three
representatives Of the Manufactur-
ers Association Of Pennsylvania.
Chairman Graham's state.
Sabotaging the Amendment.
On the senate side the child
labor amendment is still in the sub
committee Of the judiciary commit
tee. Meantime, the Wadsworth-Gar-
rett amendment, which proposes
change in Article Of the Constitu-
ton, in order to make the ratifca-
ton Of all constitutional amend
ments more difficult, is being pushed
by its sponsors.

oectlon men whose wages have
been cut 25es since 1920 earned only
1888 by full years work with con-
siderable overtime thrown in. There

The "Kid Dance" at Pioneer Hall Friday evening attracted a good sized crowd and nettea a fair sum for the school fund, for which purpose it was given.
 A majority of those attend ing appeared in regulation "kid" clothes and appeared. to derive not a little fun from the experience of being "just a child again." A pleasing feat ure of the entertainment was a song and dance by a number of school children in middy rblouses and caps. Sales of can dy during the evening added a substantial sum to the re- Iceipts. A luncheon comprising coffee, cake and sandwiches was served. Nearly every was donated, permitting the, bulk of the receipts to be de- voted to making up a deficlu incurred in the purchase ot supplies for the school.

l Those who have witnessed lrehersals of the Hyder Minstrel
 troupe during the past few
 days are a unit in asserting
 that the performance to be giv-
 en at Pioneer Hall Wednesday
 evening will be one if not the
 very best theatrical entertain
 ment ever given in Hyder.
 The various participants are
 said to display excellent dram
 atic powers and the dialogue
 is alive with local hits of a
 character to insure plenty of
 laughs. An especially effect live presentation is the rendit-
 ion of ''The American Beauty Rose," by Antonio Grashio, billed under the stage pseudo Inym of !" Signor Antonio Grac- Icio." MT. Grashio is the poss-
 essor of splendid elocutionary abilities which are shown to excellent advantage in the
 beautiful poetization of "The Sign of the Rose," George Be-
 bans famous characterization.
 An additional feature is d
 highly amusing burlesqe of services in a negro church, in which Harry Howard is said to give a side-splitting char +acterization of a negro pulpit expounder discussing profiteer- ing.
 The price of admission is SI and those attending are going to get double value in live fun for their money.
