Chicago.-The Illinois primary cam
paign draws to close with Col
Frank L. Smith looking like cer-
tain big winner over William B. Nc
Kinley for the republican nomination
for United States senator. Esti-
mates of Smiths majority range all
the way from 100000 to 100000.
Mckinley has made an extremely
weak campaign, although he is alleg-
ed to have spent several barrels of
money and is expected to spend still
larger amount on primary election
day Mckinley has made poor i'm
preston on the stump, while Smith
has made a slashing speaking cam
paign in every county of the state.
Makes Check-Book Argument
The main argument that the Nc
Kinley prognosticators offer against
Smiths nomination is that Mckinley
has too much money" and it is fact
that Mckinley has leaned heavily on
a check book argument. That is easy
for him, for he is rated as being
worth $25 100000.
Mckinley denounced the Smith
managers in speech at Joliet for
charging him Mckinley with con-
ducting "rich mans campaign" The
Smith headquarters have put out no
such charge. 1t was International
Labor News Service which has repeat
edly referred to the kind of campaign
being conducted by Andrew Jackson
Russell in behalf of Mckinley Nc
Kinley does not deny the charges
brought against him; he simply
whines because he has been exposed.
Mckinley Makes Silly Campaign
1t is reported in Chicago that Nc
Kinley has spent $4,000 in Vermillion
county alone, and yet Smiths man.
ayers in that county expect to carry
the county and congressional district.
The Danville district was regarded as
a Mckinley stronghold at the begin
ming of the campaign, and the Smith
rooters down there were given the
laugh when they said they would
carry it. And so it goes all over the
state.
Mckinley and his managers have
demonstrated over and over again
during the campaign that they are
bankrupt both of ideas and political
morals. They have made such ludi-
crous and futile attempts to beguile
and bamboozle various elements of
the electorate that one could easily
imagine the Mckinley campaign as
being managed by committee of
clowns Some of their attempts have
been absolutely childish and foolish
and have been exposed in every in
stance.

the year show loss of 482 lives,
which is 81 more than for the same
period in 1925. The rate per million
tons for the period was 4.70, as COM
pared with 4.08 last year. The rates
for major disasters alone for these
periods was 1.67 in 1926 and 0.55
in 1925.
An analysis of the principal causes
of the 482 fatalities in 1926 shows a
reduction in the per-million-ton death
rates for all of the principal causes
except explosions of gas and coal

Drive on Jersey Industries Begins
Organization Campaign For Women

Labor, sent out urgent requests with
workers in compact communities and
the great need for aiding them in
their struggles against powerful COM
bnations of employers like the tex
tile interests, the pottery trust, and
the large metal and electrical appli-
ance works
1t was agreed to confne the cam
paign in one district near the metro
politan area to begin with. Speak
ers pointed out that New Jersey is a
backward state from the viewpoint
Of the organizer, although one of the
most productive industrial regions of
the nation. 1t was therefore selected
as the place for the first general cam
paign by the A. +. of L. to rally the
women workers to join labor's ranks.
The result that the last organization
conference was attended by represen-
tatives of so central bodies in th,,
state and many international and
local unions. The conference elected
an executive committee which was in
structed to open permanent head
quarters in Newark and to engage
organizers.
The conference decided while the
main task was to organize women, no
opportunity to organize any group of
workers would be overlooked
Among the delegates were repre-
sentatives of cigar makers, mems
clothing workers, shirts and overalls,
laundry workers, textile workers, hat,
cap and millinery workers, pottery
and clay workers, glass and rubber
workers, mattresses and cooks, nurses
and school teachers, telephone oper-
ators, bookbinders, bank clerks, ste
nographers and office workers, fancy
leather goods workers, trunk and bag
makers and many other trades where
women are employed.
Concentrate in One Area
1t was pointed out that New Jersey
was the most likely place to begin the
work of organizing in view or the
concentration of unorganized women.

Union Conference Directs
Opening Of Headquarters,
Engagement Of Organizers

Newark long awaited drive to
organize millions of women workers
in exploited industries is fast assum-
ing definite shape. A conference has
been held here between representa-
tives of international unions, the New
Jersey State Federation of Labor and
the Essex Trades Council to launch
the campaign in big centers like
Newark, Paterson, Passaic, small in
dustrial towns like Vineland, Wee

FLIMSY CONSTRUC-
TION FAVORED
IN LOS ANGELES

Lso Angeles.-The city council has
passed an ordinance which permits
the use of tissue paper pressed steel
joist, spot welded, spaced two-foot
centers on class a. buildings.
This requires no form work and re-
places carpenters with Mexican labor.
The safety feature is questioned by
engineers and architects, and the
legalized fimsy construction will
make it possible to flood this city
with cheap labor. Building trades
unions are calling attention to the
many dangers of this legislation.

Is Economic Tide Ebbing?
Bankers See No Cause For
Alarm In Stock Price Slump

New York.-All eyes are watching
the tide of defation in Wall street
which reached its height about April
/, All Fools Day, with millions of
speculative profits wiped out with the
plunge downward Of securities regard
less of encouraging reports of the
state of commerce and the basic in

gave rise to the belief that the eco
nomic tide has turned definitely, and
for a year at least there would be
gradual declines in values, def1ation,
as it is called by financiers and bust
ness men.
The attack was aided by pessimistic
reports from boom areas as in Florida

squeezed out of land values and liter

prices are being squeezed out while
the big fellows are continuing to
gobble up acreage at low prices, con-

Motors Show Panic

Motor stocks began to slide badly,
also due to psychological reaction
from over-booming of the values of
shares and the actual knowledge that
thousands of used cars are a drug on
the market and that the installment
plan of selling cars has begun to re-
act on the companies with thousands
of new ears turned back after three
months use because the purchasers
have over-estimated their ability to
pay for them.
In turn the motor industry began
to slow up and the situation is being
watched carefully to see whether the
inevitable depression in industry is
TO occur after two years of marked
prosperity. Building construction re-
mains at the peak, but the warnings
are increasing that those rushing con-
struction with the hope of collecting
high rents next fall are doomed to
disappointment.
No Cause for Alarm
Bankers view the situation with
eonfidence--4in fact, some are encour-
aged by the turn in the tide. The

LEWIS SEES BIC
{. ". FUTURE

A George Washington University
second to no city university in the
nation was visioned by DIR. William
Mather Lewis, president, in an ad-
dress before students in the fourth
annual roll call last night, on the
university campus.
Adopting this slogan, we hope
to celebrate the two hundredth an
niversary Of George Washington by
new and larger buildings and equip
ment to complete this quadrangle of
buildings, already started, by asking
the people of the United States to
contribute $4,000, 00O-$1 600, 900 for
buildings and 81 100000 for endow-
ment." DR.. Lewis declared.
Doctor Lewis pointed to the rapid
strides the university has made
since the first annual roll call three
years ago. He predicted a great
future Of the university by 1892, the
year Washington will celebrate the
200th anniversary of the birth Of
George Washington.
District Commissioner Proctor l..
Dougherty also spoke. He told Of
the great advantages offered to stu
dents OF George Washington by be-
ing located here.

YEAR TO WITNESS
b|GL|GHT|NG GAINS.
Brighter Street Equipment
on Selected Arteries to
Benefit City Quickly.

With powerful new street lights al
ready installed or in course of erec-
ton on IS streets, and with orders is
sued a few days ago for similar
treatment of 90 other thoroughfares,
the current fiscal year will witness
the greatest progress yet made to-
ward giving Washington the modern
street lighting system planned by
the Commissioners more than TWO
years ago.
When the comprehensive program
for improved street lighting was COM
pleted on paper by a committee of
experts i'm February, 1924. it was es-
timated II would cost $2,500,000, and
consideration was given to make 1t a
fve-year development.
Although the rate of appropriation
thus far will make it nearer ten
year program. Engineer Commits
sioner Bell predicted last night that
by treating all of the main arteries of
travel first, a marked improvement
throughout the city will be apparent
when the work now under way is
finished.
Reasonable Progress.
lieves that with the principal thor
continuation of the present rate of
appropriation will be ample to per-
init reasonable progress In extending
the new lights to other streets.
The current appropriation act con-
tains one item of $4,000 available en-
tirely for installation of new lights,
and lump sum of $750,000 for street
lighting generally. From this latter
sum the District must pay its gas
and electric bills, but this will still
leave about $4,000 for new work,
making a total of $180,000 for ex-
tending the new system during this
fiscal year.
Warren B. Hadley, electrical en-
gineer, said yesterday that If appro-
priations are made at about that ratio
during the next few years it will make
possible steady progress toward the
ultimate goal of an adequate lighting
system throughout the city in keep
ing with the demands Of present-day
traffic conditions.
I.engthen Old Posts.
Anticipating that the taxpayer will
probably wonder what is becoming of
the fixtures taken down on streets
where taller posts are being installed
with stronger units of illumination,
Mr.. Hadley explained that these posts
also are being made. higher by attach
ing ornamental extensions at the base
They will be used In other appropriate
places.
I'VE are. not scrapping any equip.
ment in placing larger and brighter
lights on the main thoroughfares,"
said the superintendent. He cited P
street as an illustration Of how the
old posts are being utilized by the use
of two-foot extensions, justifying a
larger lighting unit at the top.
The comprehensive program mapped
out in 1924 called for a special type
of light for each class Of street, rang
ing from rs lumens per linear foot on
residential streets to 275 lumens per
linear foot on the busy traffic arteries
and principal business thoroughfares.
Mr.. Hadley said the 20 thoroughfares
listed for improved lighting in the or
der issued by the Commissioners last
week represent about as much work
as his Office can hope to do within
this fiscal year, but it was pointed out
that this list includes main routes
OF travel into all sections Of the city.

COLOMBIA TREATY
PAYMENTS ENDED
U. S. Sends Last Of $25,-
100000 Demanded as Re-
suit of Panama Dispute.

A romantic chapter Of Latin Amer.
lean diplomatic history was brought
to an end last week when the United
States Treasury paid to Colombia the
last installment Of the $25,000.000 she
demanded as a result of the circum-
stances attending the building of the
Panama Canal.
The payment of $5,O00,O00 was
the fifth of like amount handed over
to Colombia since the celebrated Co
lombia treaty was ratified in 1921
after long fight.
Just before the canal project
reached fruition, Panama, then
part Of Colombia. declared her indie
pendence. President Roosevelt was
accused of having intervened prema-
turely on the side of Panama in order
to secure from her the ceding of terri
tory needed for the canal. This
Roosevelt denied, but a decade later
President Wilson negotiated the $685.
100000 treaty ''to restore cordial
friendship" with Colombia, and al
though the Senate once refused to
ratify it, reversed itself after Presi-
dent Harding had come into Office and
seconded the request Of Wilson.
The Senate amended the treaty,
however, to eliminate an apology in
cluded in the original draft.
