LABOR STILL BACKING
BONUS,SAYSGOMPERS
Federation Chief Declares Issue of
Compensation Will Be Kept
Before Congress.

Special attention will be given by the
American Federation of Labor TO adj
justed compensation for veterans of the
world war, until it is settled satisfac-
torily, President Gompers said last
night. He said Congress will not be
allowed to forget the issue.
at has been shown repeatedly that
adjusted compensation can be provided
without disturbing the finances of the
country and we are certain that is the
case" he said. But we are perfectly
willing to disturb certain kinds of finan-
cial arrangements. We are perfectly
willing, unlike Mr.. Mellon, to see Il
proper surtaX and a proper excess profits
tax imposed. TO propose reductions Of
these taxes Of the rich and to oppose
the adjusted compensation proposal at
the same time indicates nothing but an
Indifference to what is merely a meas
ure of justice to the veterans Of the
war.
AT this moment the Senate is prop
erly immersed in the Teapot Dome
scandal investigation. But devotion to
public duty on one issue does not eH-
cuse forgetting every other issue.
ut took most of the senators a year
to wake up To the Teapot Dome and
Elks Hill scandal. Labor demanded in
YeStigation year ago. 1t likewise sup
ported adjusted compensation year
and more ago, and it will stick to the
issue another year if necessary. Con
gress will not be allowed to forget the
demands of justice in behalf Of the men
who did the fighting that won the war.

MISS pEMocRAcYs FILTRATION

The Atlanta Constitution deplores
the fact that the Democrats in the
Senate tied up with radical Republi-
cans in the election of a chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Committee
Says that paper: The whole trans
action has been most unfortunate
one from the standpoint of the
Democratic party. The Democratic
leadership in the Senate was warned
by the Democratic press of the country
almost unanimously, against such a
filtration with the radical RepubH-
cans"
Apparently the Constitution does
not understand the working OF the
mind Of the Democratic leader in the
Senate. His thoughts are not turned
toward the public welfare but toward
the most convenient means OF delay
ing legislation and embarrassing the
republicans. Democratic editors, in
close touch with public sentiment,
and having due regard to the best in.
terests Of the country argue that since
the Republicans have majority OF
the Senate. they should have full re-

Junior High Notes

The English department is empha-
sizing Good Manners" this month.
All grades have entered an essay con-
test on this subject and cash prizes
are to be awarded for the best paper
in each class.
Good English week was entered in
to with great enthusiasm on the part
of the pupils. Teachers and pupils
alike were afraid to talk for fear of
being presented with the Bad Eng
lish badge" Many splendid papers,
stressing the value of good English,
were read in all classes. These tests
are of Incompatible value to the
pupil, giving him opportunity to de-
velop his latent ability. and at the
same time creating a desire for bet
ter command of the English language.
The J. H. S. bank depositors elect
ed the following officers for the COM
ing year: Billie Dale, president;
George Crowley. secretary; Miss
Houston, cashier. Deposits since Sep
TENDER amount to sS4.45.
Thrift week was observed by Junior
High. Each day some special phase
of thrift was studied. Themes were
written and prizes were given to the
boy and the girl in both the seventh
and eighth grades, who wrote the best
theem. Alice Marshall and Joseph
Meyer in the eighth grade, and Ha-
eel Austin and Paul Horning in the
seventh grade, won the cash prizes.
