WIDE POWERS
OF U. S. Supreme Court
Should Be Checked

Wheeling, w. Va.-A plea that the
United States supreme courts policy
OF invalidating laws be checked feat
ured an address by James Duncan,
first vihe president of the A. F. of L.
at the annual convention of the West
Virginia State Federation of Labor.
The trade unionist said there are
two methods to check the courts pol
icy-one by constitutional amendment
and the other to provide that a larger
number of votes than a majority be
gress.
There is widespread dissatisfac-
tion with five-to-four decisions of the
supreme court" Mr.. Duncan said.
Our child labor law, which was re-
Gently declared unconstitutional, as
interfering with states rights, is an
example. Some eight or nine impor-
tant decisions of somewhat similar
character have been reached the same
way. mus one JuSClce OF the Su-
preme court has more power than the
president of the United States.
ITO an old campaigner who has
watched the struggle for human rights
for many years, the suggestion that
we leave matters of this kind to the
states to solve sounds wearisome. We
have too much evidence on the way
some states handle-or fail to handle
this issue. There are states that
have splendid child labor laws, while
others, whose products come in direct
competition with those of the pro-
gressive states, leave the child un-
protected"

ANTI-UNIONIST
DEFEATED

Detroit, Mich.-Organized street
car men entered the primaries to de-
feat Acting Mayor Martin, and these
thousands of workers have the politi-
cal scalp of Mr.. Martin dangling from
their collective belt. !.
The acting mayor joined with anti
union forces in an~attempt to disrupt
the car mems union, whose members
are employed on the municipal street
car system. Martin favored COM
pany union" whose hand-picked rep
resentatives would negotiate wage
scales.

While in Petersboro, Canada, a
man asked us as to the possibility
of labor electing third party candi-
date. "You have an opportunity to
free the states from the domination
OF those who own everything but the
air, he stated, but the chances are
that the workingmen of the states
prefer to pay toll every time they
wipe their eyes and use sandpaper in
cleaning their feet" Optimistically!
Coolidge will furnish all workingmen
with tail feather whereby he can
steer himself free from narrow gauge
courts. Optimistically, Davis of West
Virginia will tell the workingman how
he can become a successful diplomat
by taking a Buzz q Buzz correspond
ence course. On the other hand Bob
La Toilette invites the workingman to
plant his crops and eat them without
paying the sugar trust or any other
trust for the nitrates that fertilize
those crops. But, like the Weary
Willies and Weary Raggles, the
chances are that Brotherhood" men
will prostitute themselves and bathe
IN the mess of pottage

PLAN TO STABILIZE
RAILROAD INDUSTRY

New York.-To reduce seasonal
employment in the railroad industry
was the purpose of a meeting of the
executive committee of the associa-
tion of railway executives.
The rail executives declared in
favor of eliminating seasonal employ
ment as far as possible. The favor
ed methods for avoiding the reduc-
tion of forces and favored distribut-
ing expenditures more equally be-
tween the times of depression and
prosperity.
A committee was appointed to
study the problem, to confer with the
interstate commerce commission, and
to report "as soon as practicable.

TO GRILL ''TELEPHONE TRUST

Washingt on.-Congressman O'Con-
nor announces that he will renew his
demand for federal probe of the
telephone trust" when congress con-
venes in December. He said he has
sufficient information to warrant an

WHEELER is NON

Providence, R. AT mass meet
ng in this city Senator Wheeler, in
dependent vice presidential candidate,
declared that Rhode Island citizens

In refusing to interfere with state

Rock Springs, Wyo.-Printers at

miles apart.

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, should be paired
with Cincinnati, Ohio. Of all the dev-
lishness and mans iniquity, the for
mer city has it for those who use their
streets on the national highways.
We happened to have passed through
GAINESVILLE in days that were "wet."
The streets were roads to prosperity
Today they are streets to profanity
and perdition. More power to the hal
lelujah and amen boys. They have
intimate acquaintance with the "corn-
cob" brigade.

CORNER STONE
LAYING SUNDAY
CONTRACTOR READY FOE
RITES A WEEK AHEAD OF
SCHEDULE

Next Sunday, August 31st, the
parish of the Presbyterian Church
will lay the corner. stone of its new
building. The service of laying
will take place on the site of the
building at 10:45 in the morning.
The laying of the stone will mark
great day in the history of the
local church. This society was or
ganized in 1889 and as such has en-,
joyed an unbroken and increasingly
interesting history. The earliest
records of the society are few and
far between. Someof it has been
CLEANED from yellowssi copies Of the
Iron Home, Ely Times and the
Miner, Ely's newspapers of yester-
day and today. In addition to
these further facts have been added
from the memories of people still
with US who were then charter
members. But from what has been
gathered plus certain documentary
evidence this fact is ascertained:
Ely and the Presbyterian Church
grew, up together.
The Church was organized with
81 members on the roll and for a
time conducted services wherever
could be found a vacant public
room. As evidence Of this it is
remembered that the Sunday School
with R. s. Miller as superintendent
gathered in the old Chandler Hotel
and for seats the kiddies of that day
sat on planks supported on beer
kegs.
In 1890 the first house of wor-
ship was erected and stood for
thirty-four years, long familiar
sight to the people Of Ely and a
monument to the courage. devotion
and sacrifice of those first charter
members.
With the changing years came
change in method and practice.
This is true in religious life and
work as elsewhere. With the COM
ing of the present pastor. Rev. H.
Russell Browne there came also a
feeling amongst the people of the
parish that the old building had
served its day and methods and a
new structure with all modern re-
ligious conyeniences and necessities
should take its place. To think was
to act, to act was to agitate, to
agitate was to build and after three
years of preparation the new build
ing is ready for its corner stone.
To the service Of the laying Of
the corner stone the public is cord
tally invited to attend and to take
part for the church is a public in
stitution and serves all.
