Concessions to the public taste and

Many sizable communities nOW have

NO-PARTY PLAN IN
FAVOR; LABOR TO
PICK EN- OUT

San Francisco, May 30.-The state
federation of labor, railroad brother
hoods and organized farmers are or
ganizing the state in accord with the
non-partisan policy of the American
Federation of Labor. The last con-
vention of the state federation of
labor rejected the state labor party
plan, and the state building trades
unions have taken the same position.
Local conferences are being formed in
every section of the state, and these
are joined to the state conference.
A circular issued by the state con-
ference declares that ''it. is the duty Of
each local conference to carefully eN-
anime the record of all incumbents."
"lf their record makes them worthy
of reelection, they should be sup
ported, regardless of party utilization.
If their record Is bad they should be
defeated, and progressive men and
women must be induced to enter the
contest in the August primary cleo

ADJUSTED COMPEN-

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-"Adjusted COM
pensaton for veterans of the World
War is not to be forgotten, even IT
certain politicians find it convenient
to evade the ISSUE" said President
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor.
He continued:
at has been shown repeatedly that
adjusted compensation can be pro
vided without disturbing the finances
of the country and we are certain that
is the case. But we are perfectly
willing to disturb certain kinds OF
financial arrangements. We are per
fectly willing, unlike Mr.. Mellon, to
see proper surtaX and proper eX-
cess profits tax imposed. To propose
reductions of these taxes of the rich
and to oppose the adjusted compensa-
ton proposal at the same time in
dictates nothing but an indifference to
what is merely a measure of justice
to the veterans of the war.
at took most of the senators a year
to wake up to the Teapot Dome and
Elks Hill scandal. Labor demanded
investigation a year ago. II likewise
supported adjusted compensation a
year or more ago and it will stick to
the issue another year if necessary.
Congress will not be allowed to forget
the demands of justice in behalf of
the men who did the fighting that won
the war"

RETIREMENT OF
PAPERS AFFECT
PEOPLES WELFARE

indianapolis, Ind, June 12-lncreas-
ing frequency of newspaper disap-
pearanees through consolidation and
mergers is viewed with mis- giving by
John w. HAYS, secretary treasurer OF
the International Typographical IN
ion.
In a statement issued from head
quarters of the union here. Mr.. Hays
asserts that recent journalistic deYel-
opments, involving retirement OF
many daily newspapers, are of broad
and deep significance affecting the
welfare of the American people.
Reduction in the number Of news
papers published Of course means re-
duced opportunities for employment
by members of the Typographical un-
ion, and other newspaper workers,
said Mr.. Hays. "That unfortunate
situation, however, is not Of such vital
importance to the general public. The
thing that matters is the silencing Of
powerful editorial voices and the
elimination of competition in the
journalistic fields.
within ten years four New York
newspapers have been acquired by
Frank A. Munsey-the Press and
Herald in the morning field, and the
Globe and Mail, evening papers. Mr..
Munsey is publishing three today, the
fourth having been retired. Large
dailies have also been retired in such
cities as St. Louis, Detroit and Pitts
burgh.
an order to understand the signif-
canoe of the purchase and silencing of
a newspaper by competitor one
must first consider the importance OF
the daily newspaper in the field of
education. The majority of adult
Americans get very little political or
civic instruction, or information else
where than from the daily press. The
task of starting a daily newspaper in
any large city is highly impractical in
a general sense if not actually I'M
possible. In the first place publishers
protect themselves against new COM
petition by acquiring exclusive rights
to the news services and syndicated
features, which the public has been
taught to prefer. In fact in many
newspaper sales, the property of chief
value in each transaction has been Il
news service franchise, possession oil
which was regarded as sound assur-
ance of the permanent elimination OF
a competitor.
'erhe cost of establishing a news
paper against existing obstacles would
be enormous and most likely far out
of proportion to the prospective re-
turn ON the investment. Therefore 1t
may be concluded that the decrease in
the number OF big dailies constitutes
"A well-night permanent and not a
transtory situation.
"The great newspapers today are
in the hands of men of great wealth
and wide financial interests. That
the disposition to color news and
give out wrong impressions through
news and editorial columns is likely
to grow seems almost certain. Some
advantage for the public lies in the
competition of newspapers to present
the news first and to present it COM
pletely. Diminution of competition
assuredly means more news suppress

JOHN HAY
In the year 1894 the region
which is now Minnesota was ira.
versed by little group of traders
including Johu Hay, who, a!tho
he is rarely mentioned in connec
tiop with the history of the state,
is truly worthy of the title of
Minnesota trail blazer" For not
only did he blaze a trail, but he
left record telling how he did it.
Furthermore, the route he fol.
lowed was one which, before the
discovery of his minute record,
was only vaguely known to his
torians.
Hay and the. members of his
party left Mackinac on June "a,
1894, and reached Fond du Lac on
the St. Louis River on July 20.
From here they followed the usual
canoe route to Sandy Lake. At
this point, however, instead Of
turning up the Mississippi and
proceeding to Leech Lake, they
followed the Mississippi southwark
to the Crow Wing River, into
which they guided their canoes.
For nine days they journeyed up
this stream and its branch, The
Leaf River. From the source of
the latter stream in Leaf Lake
they passed through a series of
small lakes and over a number Of
portages to Otter Tail Lake. For
the yoyageur who might care to
follow the same route, Hay wrote
the following instructions: From
the entrance of this lake you steer
direct S. w. till you near the end
of it, then steer due west aud you
find Riviere Rouge or Red River. "
This upper portion of the Red
River of the North is designated
as the Otter Tail River on many
modern maps. The adventures

River to it's Junction with the As

SPANISH CLAIM
POPE SNUBBED
GRANDEES
Pontiff Heard of Snobbery
Toward Press So Heaped
Attention on Latter.

MADRID, Jan. ga story Of
how the Pope snubbed a number
Of Spanish Grandees during the re-
cent visit Of the Spanish sover.
eigns to the Vatican is going the
rounds among Spanish journalists.
During the visit, the story runs,
the mobiles and court employees with
the sovereigns requested to be sep.
arated from the Spanish journalists
during the Pope's reception.
The Vatican authorities agreed
and prepared three inter-communi.
eating rooms. In the first were
the Grandees, in the second vari-
GUS palace employees and military
officials, while in the third were
some twenty or more journalists
and others Of the royal suite, with
out official standing.
The Pope passed through the
first and second rooms and gave
his benediction, but in the third
room he stopped and gave a dis.
course in favor of the press and
his desire for unity of thought.
Then followed individual benedic-
tons, and several Of those Spresent
were allowed to kiss his ring.
1t afterward transpired that the
Grandees' request had come to the
knowledge Of the Pope, and ap.
parently he had decided to snub
the Grandees by making them
crowd at the door while he dis
courSed with the press.

TraiIed by Her Brother, Who
Is Arrested on Bad
Check Charge.

SYRACUSE, N. T., Jan. a.
Hiram Van Eta, Of Amsterdam. N.
Y, who caused the arrest as
clippers Of his sister, Mrs. Lulu
Morrell, and the Rev. Miles A.. De
Graft, both formerly Of Amster-
dam, was arrested himself when Os.
wego authorities presented against
him a charge Of passing bad
checks.
The oswego police say that he
passed three worthless checks on
business men In that city in 1922
while he was in the closing days Of
an enlistment in the United States
Army and was stationed at Fort
Ontario.
Van Eta reported to the police
here that he had finally found his
sister and De Graft here after
chasing them across the continent
In a search covering nearly q year.
He told the police that his sister
had left her husband. Joseph Nor.
rell, Of Amsterdam, TO elope with
De Graft, a story which, the police
say, Mrs. Morrell afterward con.
firmed.
Mrs. Morrell had secretly com.
municated with her brother by let
ter. according to Van Etta's story.
His first word from her was w4ile
he was employed in a manufactur.
ing plant in Windsor, Canada. The
letter came from Atlanta, Ga, nine
months ago, and informed him
that his sister. was being held
under threat Of death.
Van Eta then took up the trail
Of the couple, and often was not Tar
behind them as. they passed unde.
tected through cities Of the East and
South where the police had been
notified to look for them. When
they were arrested here De Graft
exclaimed to Mrs. Morrell:
II thought you were on the level
with me, but this convinces me
you were not"
Reports from Amsterdam say
that De Graft left a wife and two
children there when he departed
that town. Although he had been
preaching, he was employed as a
painter at the time Of his disap'
pearance.
At the home Of a sister Of Mrs
Morrell in Fort Plain, De Graf
called up his wife in Amsterdam,
seeking q reconciliation.

traceable to two diseases; that the
same electronic mechanism discov-
ering q disease could cure It, and
that diseases could be diagnosed by
radio and from photographs.
