LABOR ATTACKS
TWO MAJOR
PARTIES
A. F. of L. Council Charges
Republicans and Democrats
With Dodging Child Labor
By KENNETH CLARK
BY international News Service.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 3.
Republicans and Democrats alike
were assailed today by the executive
council Of the American Federation
Of Labor ''for lodging the child
labor ISSUE"
At the same time Robert M. La
Toilette was warmly lauded "for
his valiant efforts to save the child
rem Of America"
The council charged that the
Republican platform upon which
President Coolidge is running does
not recommend ratification Of the
child labor amendment passed by
Congress.
Democrats similarly were hit for
failure to urge ratification, but
John W. Davis, Democratic presi-
dental candidate was not specifi-
cally mentioned by the council.
Devoting virtually it's entire ses-
sion today to a discussion Of the
child labor amendment, the council
issued an appeal to workers every.
Where to unite In q strenuous cam
paign to secure its ratification by
the States. s.
1.-THE council Is determined to
make the child labor amendment
one Of the important issues Of the
presidential campaign" Matthew
.Woll. official spokesman for Sam
uel Gompers, Federation president,
said.
I'VE regard as Of particular sig.
nificance the action Of the Massa'
chusetts legislature in referring the
amendment to the people to be
voted on this fab.
Massachusetts, il one Of the
States which the Republican organi-
zation counts upon most heavily.
The Republican platform does not
recommend ratification of the
amendment. Neither does the
Democratic platform.
But the La Toilette platform
which labor supports, does recon-
mend ratification. The amendment
will. therefore. play a hitherto un.
suspected part in Massachusetts
campaigning, and probably will play
a hitherto unsupported part in the
determination Of national results.
1.-The American Federation of
Labor intends to force this issue
until child labor in America is
abolished forever"

four pups at the legation whining
for their mother.
AS fortune would have it the
little princess, who would be heart
broken at tho disappearance, IL she
knew anything about 1t, is in Eng
land, visiting her grandmother Mar
got Asquith. But that means the
legation officials must find mic, 4"
before the child returns, or there
will be a recurrence Of the fearful
scene Of April, when the little
princess lost her teddy bear.
At that time, the princess was
playing with the teddy bear in
front Of former President Wilson's
home, when in some way the bear
disappeared. Princess Priscilla was
heart broken end a city wide search
was Immediately instituted to find
the lost chum. But to no avail.
Then the shops were secured to
find a similar teddy to replace the
lost one. Still no success. The
princess was only appeased after her
father, Prince Antoine Bibesco, the
Rumanian Minister brought her
a new one from New York city.
Officials at the legation fear
similar affair this time. IL the lost
dog is not located before the primo.
ess returns.
Dimitri dem Dimancesco, secretary
Of the Rumanian legation, called the
Times today to ask for help in the
search for the dog. He is particu-
larly interested in the search, he
said, because one Of the little mother
less pups is his own, and he fears
for its life and the lives Of the
other three.
The secretary describes the lost
dog as a cocker spaniel, with fluffy
hair and large black and white
spots. He asks that any one see.
ing the dog call the legation.

Greenland Ice Likely to Pre-

ON BOARD U. S. CRUISER
RICHMOND, OFF REYKJAvIK,
ICELAND, Aug. 8 (By WireIess) }.
On account Of the heavy ice
pack lying off Angmagsalik, Ice
land, American army and navy
officials may decide to establish a
sea base for Lieutenant Lowell
Smith and Lieutenant Erik Mel
son. The next move in the round
the world flight of the two Amer
lean army fliers depends upon con-
ditions at Angmagsalik.
Depends On Ice Shin.
If the Danish supply ship Ger.
trud Rask Is able to force her
way through the ice in the next
few days the original plan will be
carried out of having the two
Yankee airmen make that Greenland
port their next stopping place.
Officials are considering whether
/ to wait for the Rask to reach Ang.
magsalik or to abandon that port
as a landing place. If it is decided
to eliminate Angmagsalik from the
stopping places the only alternative
will be to establish a sea base as
there Is no other Greenland port
within the flying radius Of the
machines.
If a sea base is decided upon
the planes will obtain their supplies
from an American cruiser.
Wade May Join.
Lieutenant Leigh Wade, one of
the original four pilots, who was
compelled to abandon the flight
when his machine was forced down
between the Orkneys and Iceland,
has been advised that a machine
has been fitted out for him with
which he can rejoin his comrades
either in Nova Scotia or at Boston.

ment by the Department OF
Monopoly by one company in an
industry is now virtually unknown
except through control Of patents,
which are in themselves monopolies,
and legal ones, granted by the
government for a term Of seventeen
years to new inventors Of new
ideas.
Outside of patent .monopolies,
there are virtually no one-company
monopolies in this country at this
time. ..-.
The question then is:
New Question Raised.
Do the competing companies in
an industry conspire together to
plumber the consumer?
Infinite effort has been given by
the authorities in Washington to
prove some such thing in, for in
stance, the steel industry and the
oil industry.
There is just simply no doubling
the sincerity of the professional
antitrust sleuths and legalistsr who
inhabit the Department of Justice
and who for years and years have
made their regulations by finding
things and people to prosecute.
They could not possibly work
more ardently under La Toilette
than they now work under Cool
idge. .- t..t..s. ...t
They have broken up the "open
competition plan" under which the
hardwood" lumber men in the
South had an association for the
interchange, of information.
The most liberal" members Of
the Supreme Court bench-Mr. JUS
tice Holmes and Mr.. Justice Bran.
deis-dissented from the majority
view Of the Supreme Court in that
case. It was too much for them.
Liberal" and progressive" and
radical" as they have been called,
they thought the hardwood" de-
cision went too far.
The conservative" justices Of the
Supreme Court put it across.
They held against even the ex.
change Of facts II the exchange of
facts could be seeen to have any.
thing to do Tin their estimate of it)

Then the Department Of Justice,
in the Norcross Audit and Statisti.
cal Bureau case, persuaded a Fed.
eral district court to dissolve even
the work of an Independent bureau
engaged in disseminating statistical
Information through the minds Of
competing companies in an indus
try.
Now there are prospective cases
in which it is even proposed that
action shall be taken because in
a newspaper there is information
on which the rival. companies in
certain industries could base a con-
certed policy in respect Of produc.
ton and in respect of price.
The. sum of the matter is this:

There is less outright monopoly

twenty years ago.
There are new forms Of ICON

These new forms get chased by
the Department of Justice.
The Democrats and the La Fol

chase them faster.
The Republicans can claim that
they have chased them fast enough

That is the exact situation, no

With Red Stop
Lights

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.-Traf-
fic patrolmen at the Sixth and
Eighth avenue intersections of
Forty-second and Fifty-ninth
streets have been equipped with
red electric lights attached to
their palms and operated by
pocket batteries, by which it. is
expected they may exercise a
more peremptory control of
automobile traffic. The lights,
attached to the hand like wrist
watches and shining through
red magnifying lenses, flash on

switched off when the hands
are lowered.
The system, should it prove
effective, probably will be ex-

former mayor of Mount Rainier and
prominent business man and
banker of that place. The com
mittee was empowered to increase
Its membership II it saw fit.

this years drive. Last year $40, 200
was sought.

will be sought; Red Cross, $1,000;
social service, $1,000: boys and
girls club work, 81 900 and emery.
ency fund, $1,000. 1t is planned to
begin the campaign early in
October and conclude It probably
in a month. Later Doctor Patter-
son will call the committee to.

cause Of the greatly increased use
Of water as a result of the existing
drouth, Rockville's water supply Is
being taxed to the limit, and the
pumping station is being run night
and day to keep sufficient water in
the distributing tower to meet the
needs of the town.
Ordinarily Rockville consumes
about $4,000 gallons a day, but for
some time past the amount used
has averaged around $1,000 gal
Ions. The big increase is, it is
stated, due to the watering Of
lawns, flowers, etc., and Mayor
Charles G. Holland has appealed to
the citizens to refrain from the use
of any more water than absolutely
necessary until the drouth Is
broken.
