LABOR GIVES
COOLIDGE AID
President Anxious to Pro-
mote WOrkmen's Welfare

Washington, Sept. "A group of
representatives Of organized labor
pledged their individual support to
President Coolidge during call at
the White House yesterday, and
heard pledge by the president to
perpetuate conditions which he de-
scribed as "the best in the history of
our wage earners."
Mr.. Coolidge said the government
was anxious to continue it's efforts
to promote the welfare of workmen
but told the visitors he did not favor
a labor government. Likewise he said
he did not favor a corporation gov
ernment, a bank government or a
farm government.
II am for common sense govern
ment," he added, "by all the people
according to the American policy
and under the American constitution.
l want all the people to continue to
be partakers in self government.
1--WE do not need to import any
foreign economic ideas or any for
eign government. We had bette,

ernment, the American brand of
equality, and the American brand of
wages. America had better stay

PRESIDENT IS
GIVEN REPORT
ON STIPULATION
William Butler, Chairman Of
G. o. P. Committee, Re-
views Political Situation
PLANS ARE UNDECIDED

Washington, Sept. 2.-For the
first time since his acceptance of
the Republican nomination, Presi-
dent Coolidge had an opportunity
today to get comprehensive report
of the political outlook from Will
liam NJ. Butler, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, whose
recent stay at National Headquarters
at Chicago, preceded by visit to
eastern division headquarters, has
given him a broad view of the gen.
eral situation.
Mr.. Coolidge has not decided upon
any definite campaign plans for
himself, but it was thought by OBJ
servers that his conference with Mr..
Butler might develop something
along this line and possibly on the
Ku Klux Klan.
The Republican nominee said re-
Gently he had no political speaking
engagements on his list. Since then,
however, he has accepted an invi-
tation to speak before the Holy
Name Society convention here Sep
tember 20 and some political ad-
visers have expressed the opinion
that if he intends to make any dec
laration on the Ku Klux Klan he
will do so at that time.

by the bandits before they entered
the bank and it was not until short
ly before noon that direct communi-

but was able to appear. on the street
this afternoon. His daughter Helen,
received several wounds, while Bur-
dor received several charges Of

thus far, the average test weight is
AZ pounds per bushel heavier than
in 1923, when the average was $50
pounds. The average gluten content
is somewhat below the 1923 figure,
1890 percent, and very slightly be-
low the 1922 average of 1901.
"These preliminary figures are
not conclusive" Mr.. Mangels states,
"as the samples to be tested later
may show different results. How
ever, the indications are that the
percentage of gluten will be below
the 1923 figure, and therefore that
high gluten wheat should bring a
premium over average wheat this
year. The. average test weight fig
ure may be changed by the samples
remaining to be tested, but in any
event it will greatly, exceed the 1923
figure"

Washington, Sept. 2.-Prospects Of
a battle between Chinese naval and
land forces in the vicinity Of Shang-
hal have caused diplomatic corps
of u. S., France, Japan and Great
Britain in Peking to formally notify
the foreign office officials that such
a military engagement was 'un-
thinkable, and could not be toler-
ated."
Advices regarding the situation in
Shanghai city and harbor were re-
ceived by the state department to-
day from Edward Bell, charge d.
affaires, at Peking. These contain
ed the first reports Of the later
action taken by the diplomatic corp.
The British, Japanese and French
diplomats called on DR.. Wellington
Koo, Chinese minister for foreign
affairs and explained they could not
regard with equanimity the situation
that was threatening Shanghai by
seige.
Shanghai, Sept. 2.--The hostilities
in Kiangsu and Crekiang provinces
have caused the rival war lords of
those provinces to realize the neces-
sity Of raising armies large enough
to last through the long and severe
campaign which they apparently con-
slider the situation will bring about
and everywhere in the affected
areas policy of wholesale conscrip-
tion is being carried on, according
to advices from the interior.
Farmers, artisans, coule ST n
fact, every man able to hold a gun,
carry bucket or a burden of any
sort, are being pressed into service.
The countryside, therefore, appears
deserted with the exception of old
men, women aud children.
In this process the city of Nan
king, Kiangsu has been virtually
cleaned out and the well-to-do class
es are taking refuge in flight. Hou-

fact everything possible to COM
