has demanded and will continue to
demand the repeal of the Sherman
antitrust act. 1t cannot hold with
the Republicans that nothing needs
to be done. but 1t would prefer the
status quo to tinkering process that
would result in strengthening the
antitrust act or in creating new po-
liticai machinery with which to bur-
den labor and industry without bring
ing real benefit to either.
Let it be set forth definitely here
that labor and industry are indivisible
and inseparab}e. Labor as such may
have interests that seem to clash with
the interests of other factors in in
dustry, but as n part of the great
world of industry, labor, management.
science, all share in the responsibility
for the productivity and general well
being of industry. and they are all
bound up in its fate.
Labor cannot go with the Demo-
cratic demand for strict and stern ap-
pication of the Sherman law. The
only strict and stern enforcement that
act has yet had has been against labor
and labor confessedly and absolutely
has had enough.
Labor Is Live Factor.
Labor has protested from time out
dead, dull merchandise. Labor is not
commodity. The Democratic platform
declares that labor is not a commodity.
but it cancels this lip service by de-
manding enforcement of a law which
, almost more than any other has served
to place labor before the courts in the
category of commodities.
Neither can American labor ap
prove the demand for what is often
termed government repression of
| monopoly. Labor's fight is not against
combination in industry as such. but
is against the evil influences which
control great combinations and which
are all too often exerted in our politi-
cal, judicial and economic life.
Labor declares that the question of
! controlling monopoly and conserving
the public welfare against abuses by
monopoly cannot be solved by lhe
political state and almost every at
tempt so to solve it will lead to more
abuse than remedy.
Private Property In Pivot.
Consider this vital fact: Govern

SCHOONER DASHES
TO CLAIM ISLAND
Small Vessel Leaves Nome in
Hazardous Attempt to

ON BOARD SCHOONER HERMAN,
LEAVING NOME, ALASKA, August %.
The American schooner Herman,
which early in June was forced to
put back into Nome after having
broken propeller shaft, in an at
tempt to claim Wrangel Island for
the United States. is again under
way. this time bucking weather con-
ditions that make the outcome Of
her enterprise highly problematicaI.
The Herman slipped out late today,
in gale from the northwest that
kept all other craft harbor-bound,
and is now working northward in
one of the worst seasons of recent
years. Ice perils this year have been
exceptional. The Coast Guard cutter
Bear. which left Seattle May IS, was
caught in the drift near st. Lawrence
Island, about $50 miles south of
Straits into the Arctic Ocean. She
lost two propeller blades and was
unable to extricate herself until the
middle of July.
kotzebue Sound was frozen over
three weeks later than usual The
power schooner Arctic of San Fran
cisco was crushed near Point Bar
row August 10, and the Hudson Bay
Company's Lady Kindersley, trapped
by foes near the same place, is drift
ing northwesterly. with the crew pre-
pared to abandon her at any moment
Chances With Winds.
The Herman's chances of getting
through to Wrangel depend largely
upon the wind. If it had packed the
ice against the island, as is the case
more often than not, no vessel can
get through. Capt. Lane will then
hunt walrus along the edge of the
pack and wait his chances for the
weather opening it up.
No word of activities on the part
OF the Soviet government has reached
Nome since early Summer, when il
was learned that the governor of
northeastern Siberia, angered because
NflhJalmur StefanSson has claimed
the island for Canada and Harold
Noice's relief party had gone there
without permission from the Soviet
government, planned to take steps to

Island of Manua by Capt. Edward

Chief Tui-Manua. selected by the
natives of his island as the new
head of the late rulers family.
is being protested by the natives.
The natives have appealed to
President Coolidge for revocation
of the governors order on the
ground that Capt. kellOgg's ac-
tion was despotic without trial or
other legal process. The natives
assert that Tui-Manua had broken
no law, and that he was banished
because the governor feared for
his own authority.
The attitude of the natives was
reflected in the Fourth of July
celebration this year. The natives
refused to enter the boat race,
which was the main event of the
celebration, declaring they had no
interest in the holiday, as they
were not recognized as American

IRRITATED BY DEFENSE
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. August 27.-State's At
speech and at times apop1etic in ges-
ture, resumed his onslaught today on
the mercy plea in behalf of Nathan
Leopold, jr.. and Richard Loeb.
With renewed attack upon the
competency of the defense alienists s
testimony describing the mental de-
bility of the youthful murderers of
Bobby Franks. Mr.. Grove insisted
upon name for these strange
mental sicknesses invented for this
case"
From the outset. the explosive ar
gument of the prosecutor drew the
objection of the defense. and an en-
suing wrangle on technicalities called
from Chief Justice John r. Caverly,
to whom falls the duty of fixing
sentence. the declaration that the
court will not consider any argu-
ment outside of the record"
Grove Is Irritated.
Mr.. Grove, once visibly irritated
by the objection of the defense, turned
vigorously upon the bench to assert:
They have been quoting poetry
.
I don't see why we can't have little
citation of the law,
We have heard everything that
is in the books and of great deal
| that never got into the books from
the three wise men from the East,
brought in by the defense but nobody
has ventured to give this mental dis
ease a name said Mr.. Grove.
He then endeavored again to de-
scribe the court proceedings in a
case in which the defense was found
by alienistS to have been the victim
of newly discovered mental dis
ease" He was checked in this cita-
tion by defense objection and the
court ruling. but not before he voiced
the charge that this too is a newly
discovered mental disease-discovered
by the three wise men from the East
after every other possible avenue of
escape has been sealed
They tell us that Loeb read de-
tective stories and that's a bad sign"
said Mr.. Grove later. We'll, I re-
| member when 1 used to crawl under
the bed to read Nick Carter. Why
that's not d bad sign. That's normal
for boys.
And the defense says Loeb muir
dered little Bobby Franks for a thrill
But the doctor says he craved no

''They say he never played marbles
or base ball or other games with boys,
but Loeb told the doctors he was in

Use MacLaren'x Supplies.
Murphy is negotiating for a jap
anese steamer to carry supplies OF
gasoline and oil to the Kurile and
Aleutian Islands. It was previously
arranged that the Canadian trawlel
Thiepval, which laid supplies for
MacLaren, would do the same service
for Zanni, but this is impossible
since the Thiepval returned to Van
couver with MacLaren. Zanni will
however use some of MacLaren's
dumps since he intends to follow the
same route across the Pacific that
the British flyer took. and it Is be-
lieved that some of the dumps were
left Murphy has cabled Broome re-
garding the location of these.
Since the Japanese government

Uriburu in Toxic, has expressed its
Willingness to cooperate to the ut

expected that Japanese destroyers
will be stationed in the Kurile Is

IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Former Gov. BIease Will
Enter Second Primary.
BY the Associated Press.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. August 27.-With
total vote approaching 10000 re-
ported from yesterdays Democratic
primary in South Carolina, it seems
certain this morning that Gov.
Thomas G. Mcleod has been renomin-
ated to succeed himself as governor
and that United States Senator N. B.
Dial has been defeated for renomina-
ton. A second race for the nomina-
ton for United States Senator with
former Gov. Cole l.. Blease and Rep
resentatfve James F. Byrnes as the
contestants is practically assured.
Gov. Mcleod is credited with 96.7O3
votes against 60,43S for John T. Dun
can, his only opponent.
With returns reported from 1,133
of the 1854 voting precincts in the
State Blease is leading the senatorial
aspirants with 1886. Byrnes fol-
lows with $4,000 and Dial is in third
place with 36,1S3. Insurance Com
missioner ]. J. McMahan finished
fourth in the incomplete returns with
4,10S. The returns included a portion
of the vote in every county.
Representatives Returned.
Returns from the races for repre-
sentativeS have been received in
somewhat lesser volume than for the
Senate and State offices, but there ap-
pears to be little doubt that Repre-
sentatives w. F. Stevenson, F.. H.
Dominick and H. p. Fulmer have been
renominated. Representatives J. J.
McSwain and A. H. Gasque had no
opposition. Representative w. T. Lo-
gan seems destined to enter a second
primary with Thomas S. Mcmillan,
Speaker of the State House of Rep
resentatives. Five candidates sought
the place left vacant by the entrance
of Representative Byrnes' into the
senatorial lists and a second race will
be necessary with the candidates still
in doubt. B. B. Hare, r. l.. Gunter
and B. r. Tillman are the leading
candidates. Stevenson defeated w. r.
Bradford, while Fulmer on the re-
turns thus far. reported has a ma
jority over D. NJ. Crosson and L. A.

Dominick has retained his seat
against the efforts of w. P. Nicholson

THE ROMANCE OF CURTIS

Perhaps few people are aware that Senator Curtis of Kansas, Republican leader in the senate is in part of Amerl- can Indian descent According to the New York Times, he is one-fourth Kaw Indian; according to the Literary Digest, one-eighth The Times would seem to have the right of it, if its facts are cor lectly set forth. The Times relates that his grandmother, Julie Poppin, was the daughter of White Plume, chief of the Kaws She married a French voyageur, and their daughter, mother of Senator Curtis, married young American pioneer of English descent, the father of Senator Curtis.
 To the time the boy was ten years old he lived as an Indian with his grand mothers tribe. When their camp was attacked in force by the savage Cheyen- nes, young Curtis was sent by night to get white help at the settlement of To- peka, sixty miles away. The quality of his boyish courage may be judged by the fact that he got through the hostile lines in safety, traversed the sixty miles before noon of the next day, and sent the whites to the rescue in time to save his people.
 The boy, however, remained in Topeka and, being an expert rider, became q jockey, living by this means until he was fifteen and too heavy for this occupation. About this time his tribe visited Topeka and he fell in with them intending to go back to his easy Indian life. That night,
