The United States naval station is
situated on the 1nstep,' its back
toward the sea, but with high noun
tains intervening. Pago Pago town
lies at the toe Most of the anchorage
is entirely out of sight of the sea, and
the ships lie in deep placid water even
when destructive gales are blowing
outside. %
Giving Pago Pago the premier
place among South Sea havens does
not do it justice. Many famous har-
bors are more commodious. but it is
hardly too much to say that Pago
Pago Is at once one Of the safest and
most beautiful harbors in the world.
A narrow strip of level land rims the
harbor. Immediately beyond this strip
the sides rise up steeply to mountain

with varying shades Of green, tropical
vegetation. In addition to the naval

THE harbor OF Pago Pago almost

Is the largest isle Of American Samoa,
II miles long and about wide. The
other American islands lie about so
miles to the east. Only one, Tau,
about miles in diameter, is of i'm
portance, though two smaller isles are
Inhabited. Altogether the population
of American SAMOA Is about 5000,
some 5000 residing on Tutuila.
Few White Residents on Island.
American Samoa has been little
spoiled by the civilization of the
mother country or that of other
whites. Few whites reside In the
islands besides the small group of
missionaries and the officers, men and
nurses at the naval station. Only one
plantation is owned by. white man
and only three or four whites have
leaseholds: Practically the entire
surface of the islands is owned in
small tracts by individual, natives.
The United States even bought from
individual landlords the 40 acres
needed for It's naval establishment.
I'm the past the lava-lava a sort
of short skirt or kilt, was the only
garment worn by both men and
women. Now slight concessions are
made. In Pago Pago or in the pres

however, and in the outlying district

GOVERNOR BLAINE
Denies That Unions Cause
High Living Costs

Madison, Wis-In his Labor Day
proclamation, Governor Blaine denied
that labor unions are responsible fol
the high cost of living. This charge
has been made continuously by inter
ests that are hostile to the trade
union movement, the governor said
"The truth is" continued the chief
executive, "that labor costs are but
a small part of the price of most
commodities and that the share OF
the total product going to the wage
earners has diminished rather thar
increased in recent years.
with all the talk about the re.
strictions of output, every investi.
cation has established that workmer
of today actually do more work, al
though their hours Of labor are
shorter than the hours of workmer
of former generations.
"It is monopoly, not labor, which
is responsible for high prices"

CONCILIATORS
Give BARRIERS Small In

By international Labor News Service.
Portland, Ore.-The Oregon state
board of conciliation, acting as an ar
bitration board, has made an award
in the controversy between the bar
bers' union and the Master BARRIERS
Association, giving the BARRIERS an in
crease of So in the weekly guarantee,
but extending the amount at which
the 60 per cent division begins to a
figure S4 higher than formerly.
BY the award, the barber receives
a minimum of $28 weekly against $25

the barber received $25 and so per
cent of all his receipts over $37

Der the higher minimum but he re-
ceives nothing more until his weekly
receipts reach Sal, then the 60 per
cent cut is effective.
The increase is not so much as ap-

weekly, the increase amounts to only
60 cents week, or 10 cents a day.

"Our movement was the first organ

the abolition of child labor, for direct
legislation, for the secret ballot in

I'm every instance the organized

which were met by the same unrea-

because it is challenge to wrong and
to all unsocial IDEALS"

amendment that an enlightened pub

ploiters. He also said that the report

could easily pay higher wages out of
their immense profits.

BRITISH UNIONlSTS
Having Reached Limit OF
Concessions Will Yield

London, England There is a

dent of the British Trade Union Con-
gress, in opening the annual session
at Scarborough.
The trade unionist called attention
to numerous instances the past few
years where the unions have yielded
wages and working conditions, at the
request of employers who claimed
business would be revived.
Union policy henceforth," said
President Swales, will be to recover
lost ground, re-establish and improve
standards of wages, hours and work
ing conditions and intensity and CO.
ordinate trade union action for the
winning of larger measure of con-
troll in industry for the workers"
He accused the employers of plot
ting to undermine trade union stand
ards, and he emphasized the impor-
tance of workers solidarity.

Indianapolis. operators fore
ed the present work suspension in the
anthracite fields to dispose of small
size coal, dust and culm banks, ac-
cording to Ellis Searles, editor of the
United Mine Workers Journal.
'For many months past, because of
industrial and business depression,
these coal companies have had diff
Guilty in finding a market for their
steam sizes.
"They had no difficulty in disposing
of their domestic sizes, but steam
sizes were drug on the market. Of
course, suspension would afford
them an opportunity to dispose of
their great piles of steam sizes, and,
if the consuming public could be suf-
ficiently frightened by the fear of a
coal shortage, the operators could not
only sell this coal, but they could, if
so disposed, include bug g-dust from the
culm banks and waste piles and sell
the entire mixture at panic prices.
What could be sweeter than that?
"And it must be admitted that the
anthracite operators are a resource
full set of business men who do not
often overlook a good thing So it
is not strange that they forced the
suspension by refusing to make new
agreement"

BIGGEST EVER
Predicted For Fall Retail
Business By National
City Bank

By international Labor News Service
New York City.-"The opinion pre-
walls that conditions are favorable to
a large volume of business this fall,
probably the largest ever handled, but
the productive capacity of the country
is now thought to be so large in all
lines that there is no uneasiness about
ability to get goods as wanted, or at
the present price level"
The foregoing summary of general
business prospects, based on it's re-
markable statistical advantages, is
given out by the National City Bank
of New York for the current month
1t is an encouragement for those who
have been optimistic about the indus
trial and commercial self-sufficiency
of America regardless of European
conditions. 1t is also pointed out that
Europe is rapidly returning to a
healthy condition of finance. No dan
ger of flooding this country with cheap
products is expected now as the re-
suit of the war debt accommodations
made by this country, according to the
banks experts.
The continued absence of the specu-
lation spirit is a feature of the COM
mercial situation. The principal fac
tor in the state of confidence is the
balance restored between agriculture
and the other industries. Prices OF
foods have risen five points since May
but there is little price initiation
Touching on the European situation
and the future of industry here, the
banks statement continues:
"Great re-inforcements are coming
to the worlds wealth producing re-
sources within the periods of the (wal
debit payments. Reasoning from the
rapidly widening range of scientific
achievement, it can not be doubted
that the productivity of industry will
increase"
