To SPEAK
ON RELIGIOUS
FREEDOM
Democratic Nominee Flags
Those Who Would Deny
Constitutional Rights
m!
INTERNATIONAL NEWS-REn
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.
International News Service.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. "a new
declaration for religious freedom
and a pledge to guarantee all con.
stitutional liberties featured the
entry today of John w. Davis,
democratic presidential nominee,
into the grain belt of the west
Davis flayed any ''set of men"
who attempted to deprive Amer
lean citizens of their religious free
dom but made no mention of the
Ku Klux Khan by name. He
pledged himself to safeguard every
citizens rights II elected.
The candidate made this his
opening message to the grain belt
In a speech from the platform
of his special train at Dubuque,
Iowa, en- route here from Chicago.
He was to deal directly with the
economic problems of the farmers
in a keynote" agricultural speech
In the Omaha auditorium tonight.
His initial talk, however, was con-
fined to constitutional liberty.
Religious Freedom Guaranteed.
When the Constitution Of the
United States was written, we gave
to the Americans of that day and
all who might come after them
certain fundamental rights that
could never be taken away" Davis
declared. 1--WE gave them freedom
of speech, freedom of assembly,
freedom Of the person. We gave
them what was perhaps more
sacred than anything else-freedom
of religious worship, not to be els
turbed or threatened or taken away
by any set of men or any Gov
eminent"
Attacking movements intended to
increase the powers of Congress
and State legislatures, Davis said:
81 know that in this country
there has been put forward the
proposition that certain powers, es-
pecially those of holding laws I'M
constitutional, shall be taken away
from the courts and that the Con.
gress or State legislatures shall
have the right to pass a law no
matter what that Jaw may be, no
matter what right 1t invaded--no
matter II 1t should deny you ths
exercise OF your religious worship.
Denies That Doctrine.
81 deny that doctrine; 1 deny
that there is any such thing as
despotic power in the United States,
In presidents, in governors, courts,
congress or legislatures. There
must be in this country some
power to which the American
citizen can appeal when these
sacred rights are invaded"
The nominee today faced a two
weeks tour Of the grain belt. He
will leave here tonight for Lincoln,
Nebraska, to spend Sunday with
Governor Charles w. Byran, his
running mate. Late Sunday he
will leave here tonight for Lincoln,
day he will speak on reclamation
and conservation. Then will follow
speeches in Wyoming, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, and Illinois.

{ MPLOYES WIN
WAGE FIGHT
At G.P.O.
New Scale Ranging From S to
IS Cents Higher Than Old
Offered Printers

The long wage fight at the Gov.
eminent Printing Office concluded
today with a partial victory for the
employees. Increases in pay rang.
ing from to Is cents an hour are
provided in a new counter proposal
submitted to the employees com.
mittee by Public Printer George H.
Carter.
The fight which several times APP
peared on the verge Of complete
failure was marked by many conces.
sions on both sides. A half dozen
were made and rejected during the
negotiations which have lasted near
ly three months.
The new wage increases will be
received by approximately 230 jour.
neymen pressmen. Under the new
scale job pressmen will receive IS
cents an hour; cylinder pressmen,
81 an hour. and head pressmen,
$1.05 an hour. The new scale di.
vides the pressmen into three
classes whereas there are now only
two.
The present rate for the employees
Of these classes is 80 cents an hour,
fixed by Congress during the past
session. The present schedule of
overtime pay is continued.
The new scale, advanced by the
Public Printer, has been tentatively
approved by the committee repre-
senting the employees and will now
be submitted to the employees them
selves and to the standing wage
committee of the typographical
union. The plan is then subject to
the approval of the Joint Congress.
sional Committee on Printing.
The employees opened the negotia-
tions with a proposal for a flat in.
crease of rs cents an hour above
the rate fixed by Congress, or $1.15
an hour, with the present overtime
allowances. This was rejected by
the Public Printer as being an un-
justifiably great advance.
During the course of the negotia.
tions,, the Public Printer submitted
a proposal which called for a sliding
scale Of wages based upon eff.
cheney ratings. This created a
storm Of opposition. The employees
encountered with another flat rate
proposal, with increases Of Is cents
an hour over the present rate.
The latest counterproposal, while
far below the figure which the EN-.
ployes first requested, probably will
be accepted by them for the present.
1t was indicated. Efforts to secure
an additional increase will depend
largely upon the attitude of the
Joint committee and Congress this
winter.

Alien Property custodian to the
Chemical Foundation, Inc, of
Delaware, was taken today by
Attorney General Stone when he
filed an exhaustive brief with
the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals at Philadelphia.
The attorney general asked
that the case be remanded to the
United States district court at
Wilmington, Del, which decided
the original cause for the Chem

tions to grant the Government

This is simply a suit by the
United States to recover property
once admittedly in its lawful Gus
tody, and transferred from that
possession and custody unlawfully
and in violation of express statu.
tory provisions" Attorney General
Stone asserted in his petition to
the court.
The Government further charged
that the decision of the Wilmington
court was erroneous because Of mis-
takes in its construction of the

said to be valued at more than ST.
