Injunction Is
Discussed by
Pres. Green
Head of A. F. Of l.. Talks to the
Bar Association of
st. Louis

st. Louis, Mo.-In discussing the
labor injunction before the st. Louis
Bar association, VIM. Green, president
of the A. F. of L., said organized lab
or must be free if it is to serve the
workers and society to the fullest ex-
tent.
"Organized labor can not succeed if
it is merely accorded the right to ex-
ist and is restricted in that right by
judicial Decree" said President Green.
"What would be more meaningless
than to accord it the right to exist
and then prevent it from functioning
through the imposition of legal re-
straint and the erection of legal bar
riers ?"
The trade unionist emphasized that
organized labor seeks no immunity
from the law. at asks for the privi-
lege of functioning in conformity with
the law without discrimination and
without being made the target of the
Injunction onslaught" he said. "!t
objects to the suspension of the rights
of its members by the writ of injunc-
ton.
"There is no force within our indus
trial, economic and social life which
exercises more Deneflcent ana sta
bilizing influence than the organized
labor movement 1t has always led
in the advocacy of high and humane
living standards. 1t has constantly
emphasized the value of the human
factor in industry.
''It has endeavored to create oppor-
tunities for self-development, for cul-
tural and spiritual advancement and
for educational advantages for the
great masses of the people. What
purpose could be more commendable?
To what other force or power could
the workers turn for protection and
help if the organized labor movement
were destroyed?
"In the interests of the working
people of our country, in the further
ance of the cause of humanity and In
behalf of good government and high
social order, the American Federation
of Labor solicits the sympathetic sup
port of the legal profession and all
groups of people believing in the prin-
ciples of justice, fairness and equal

Many people living in Newark do
not know that one of the few remain
ing stone burr mills in operation to-
day is located in Newark. That its
products are sent daily into many
states, and that it promises to be-
come a big industry.
Every health magazine, and all the
writer's on the subject of health are
calling for the return to such toodS
as the bread, made of coarse ground
grain. Ground between two stones,
with nothing sifted out to make u
whiter or finer.

is not a matter of money. 1t is
matter only of forethought and fore
bearance. Of those now living in the
British Isles, 100000 are doomed to
die of cancer if they do nothing to
prevent it. In the United States the
doomed number is 100000 and may
easily rise to $4,000, 900 or 2O,Ooo'OOO.
This means that at least one in ten
and perhaps one in five is doomed
to die of cancer if they do nothing
to prevent it.
A great flood of light has come up
on cancer. We now know what causes
it. 1t is not the bacillus that scien--
lists have so long sought and not yet
found. 1t is caused by poisons Great

We eat three times day and some
times more. Our bodies should be
cleared as often as we eat. Animals

Housing Plans
of Gov. Smith
Are Opposed
Protests Against Scheme to
Abolish City Slums Come
From Many Sources

New York-Governor Smiths plan
to abolish the slums and tenement
house district in this city has aroused
a storm Of protest that is garbed IN
various DISCUSSES. One group is act
uated by partisan motives, while the
landlord group plead for the consti-
tuition. No opponent has advanced a
constructive substitute.
The state will not enter the home
construction business, under the Smith
plan. The houses will be built by prl-
vate companies with funds supplied
by private investors. There will be
state supervision and assistance, but
no public ownership. The state will
delegate its right of eminent domain,
so that property can be secured with
out having to deal with spectators
and real estate sharks. Under this
system a fair price will be set on
land by a commission appointed by
the courts.
Friends of the bill make the point
that just as the federal government,
through the departments of agricul-
ture and commerce, undertake to
make farming, trade and industry less
hazardous for private business, so
the state government, through the
housing board and the housing banks,
will make the construction and opera
ton of modern, sanitary tenements at
a low rental feasible for privately or
ganized corporations.
"If," says the New York World,
"the housing plan is socialistic, how
much more so are the city-built sub
ways, the fire department and the
public scholsw

ginning his instructions to the jury, outlining the points of law on which it will be determined whether the oil magnate and the then interior secretary violated the conspiracy statute when Doheny sent Fall S100.- 900 before the Doheny companies were awrded leases to government oil land.
 Defense Calls It Clean
 The defense told the 12 men in the jury box that the $10o,000 was private loan. Mark B. Thomp- son, personal attorney for Fall. said 1t was the cleanest money that ever passed from one mans hand to an- other" Speaking also for the for mer secretary. Wilton J. Lambert accused government counsel of dis torting the facts after the best man. ner of Houdini. Frank J, Hogan, cd that the two defendants be re- turned to their home and families "by sundown tonight"
 Former Senator Atlee Pomerene, replying for the prosecution, said the s1o0,0o0 transaction and the leasing negotiations alike had been deliberately surrounded with secrecy in furtherance of a plot by two master minds"
 Fraud, Says Pomerene
 "The whole thing" said Pomerene. twas conceived in fraud and born of iniquity.'
 The former % senator sum- moned all his theatricalism for his peroration, and read to the jury in conclusion a verse of poetry praying for protection against the under mining of public Institutions "by the gnawing worm of fraud" As he finished, Doheny drew a colored handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his eyes. Tears also sparkled in the eyes of Mrs. Fall and her daughter as they left the courtroom.
 The Defense Closes.
 In addressing the jury, Hogan spoke for both Fall and Doheny, his associate in the defense, Wilton Lambert, counsel for Fall, having yielded his time. Hogan declared at the outset that the navy depart ment had a predominant part" in shaping the oil reserve policies of 1922, and that therefore no wrong doing could be traced to Fall and the interior department.
 Navy influence, he insisted, estab- lished the policy under which Do- heny's Pan-American Petroleum Company secured the Elk Hills, Calif., lease on Dec. II, 1922, which became the basis of the conspiracy charges. ....
 That policy was established by the secretary of the navy in Octo- Der, 1921" he said. "and the policy was never changed or varied by a single letter until November 2S, 1922, when again the secretary of the navy changed it.
 Secretary Denby told you that he, not Fall. had argued the policy upon President Harding. Denby told you he never understood the interior department had supreme authority in shaping the policy. He said that the interior department was the business agent for the navy in these matters"
 Plea Is Individual.
 Hogan ended with this:

Urges Baby Features Be Shaped for Future

London, Dec. 14 LP-Lady Wal burga Paget urges that race of beautiful people, free from physical defects, be created through parents shaping their infants faces soon af- ter birth.
 She proposes that a special pro- fession of sculptural nurses be trained for this purpose. The art" she says. 'is now known only to some Indian tribes of Mexico. There. the great Spanish families call in an old Nanny when a child is born to shape it's plastic head. fea- lures and limbs.
 "The many women who are sculp- tors or draw would at once know where to correct baby defects. We have surgeons now who can restore features to their former shape after terrible defacing accidents; why not, therefore, model babies?"

 Thinks It Was Bribe
 Did President Harding even know that his trusted cabinet off, cer had borrowed $100,000 from Mir. Doheny?" Pomerene asked. Did President Harding ever know that Mir. Doheny thought this re- serve was worth at least s100,000,- GOO?
 President Harding was my per- sonal friend and I think l can see the pained expression which would envelope his tired, genial counte- nance if he were to return for a moment from the Great Beyond to learn of the transaction"
 Was this a bribe?"

Colby Professor
Speaks About Life
Thomas jefferson

DR.. William j. Wilkinson, pro-
lessor of history at Colby College,
spoke in an interesting manner on
the life and work of Thomas JEFF
ferson at the regular meeting of the
Waterville Lions Club at the Elm
wood Hotel last evening. The doc
tor called attention to the fact that
this is the season of the year when
the anniversary of Jefferson's birth
is being celebrated in all parts of
the country and he remarked that
this year it was especially significant
in that just $50 years have passed
since Jefferson drew up the Declare
ton of Independence.
The speaker characterized his
subject as philosopher. an agri-
culturist, classical student and an
architect. DR.. Wilkinson devoted
some time to discussion of Jeffer-
sons political ideas and aims, among
which were states rights, strict
economy in governmental expendi-
lures and a small army and navy.
He left behind him. the speaker said,
heritage of political principles
which has lasted Until today.
Ray White was introduced as a
new member of the club. Music
was furnished by the Kiwanis Club
orchestra and there were tenor solos
by George Pooler.

HINT OF PRESSURE

ficers of General Buffers command
developed during the prosecutions
attempt to impeach a defense wit
ness.
This witness. Captain George F..
Stokes, adjutant of the Fourth Regi-
ment of Marines. had testified on
direct examination that he was at
the Hotel Del Coronado on the night
of March sixth last, when Colonel
Williams is alleged to have been
drunk, and that he noticed nothing
unusual about the ColoneEs behavior.
He admitted that out on the hotel
grounds, little later. he noticed the
Colonel was unsteady on his feet,
and sick enough, intoxicated enough,
to be unfit for duty.
Upon. hearing this admission, the
judge advocate, Captain Leo Hermle,
produced written statement and
asked the witness If he recognized it
as one he had submitted to General
Butler.
Captain Stokes said he recognized
the statement as his own. Captain
Hermle thereupon declared the adj
mission that Colonel Williams was
sick or intoxicated contradicted a
fiat assertion in the written state
ment to the effect that the. Colonel
appeared to be perfectly normal.
Defense counsel objected vigor-
ously to admission of the written
statement as evidence.
Captain Stokes explained that the
reason his statement appeared to
contradict his testimony of today
was that when General Butler order
ed him to prepare the statement he
understood the general to mean a
statement confined to what happen
ed in the ballroom of the Hotel Del
Coronado"
So, he said, he did not mention
what he noticed outside, on the
grounds of the hotel.
What helped him to be careful, he
added, was the fact that when Of
ficers present at the hotel on the
right in question first submitted
their written statements to Gener '
Butler, the statements were handed
back with the remark:
You boys know what is wanted.
Now. go back and write new state
ments.'
DO you mean to say" asked the
judge advocate, that General But
ler's attitude or instructions led YOU
to tell a lie in your statement?"
NO. there is no lie in my state
ment"
Whereupon, the wrangle between
counsel over whether the statement
should be barred from the record as
"a confession obtained under duress"
went on with rising bitterness until

New York Senate
Passes Bill Calling
For Dry Modification

Albany, n. Y, April 13-CPO-The
Senate today passed the Karle bill
calling for a referendum next fall on
the question of memorializing Con-
gress to amend the Volstead act so as
to allow each state to fix it's own def
milton of Intoxicating liquor
The question to be asked the voters
of the state at the fall election would
be as follows:
Should the congress of the United
States modify the Federal action to
enforce the 18th amendment of the
constitution of the United States so
that the same shall not prohibit the
manufacture. sale, transportation,
importation or expectation of bever-
ages which are not in fact intoxicat-
ing as determined in accordance with
the laws of the respective states?"
The question originally called for a
vote on modification of the Volstead
act to allow light wines and beer. but
it was amended so as to eliminate
such a reference. The am "ndment
was drafted by Elihu Root.
