IMPROVED LABOR
CONDITIONS NOW
IMPENDING, CLAIM
Vast Army of Workers Will Be De-
manded Following Signing of
the $500, 900, 900 Flood
Control Bill

Washington, d. C.-Prospect of a
new channel opening up for the abb
sorption of the vast army of idle
colored workers in the country at the
present time was reported highly ia
vorable by government authorities
here recently. This announcement
was made following the action of
President Calvin Coolidge in signing
the flood control bill calling for
$50, 100000 at once for immediate
flood control work.
AS an immediate result of the sign
ing of the bill, it was said that the
government labor forces all along the
Mississippi river from Cape Girar-
deau, Mo-, to the head of the passes,
will be greatly increased. The state
ment came from the office of Gen.
Edward Jadwin, chief of army en-
gineers.
The demand for common labor will
steadily increase and will reach its
peak in the coming fall, it was said,
immediate work depending upon the
supply of money available for steam
ing ahead.
Indications are that $30,O00,00O
will be allowed for expenditures this
year, $40,OOO,O0O or $50,000,000
next year and $60,0OO,0O the third
year.

the holding of political office by
Bishop Archibald J. Carey had af-

as the presiding bishop at the open

1t is customary for the bishop who
is to preside to receive, upon being

Carey Tribute" Cause. Stir


Chicago, Ill.-(ANP)-The pres
entation of floral tribute by group
of the trustees and members of the
Church of Christ and Metropolitan
Community Center to Bishop A. j..
Carey, Wednesday morning, caused
quite a stir in the inner working of
the independent church, of which DR..
w. d. Cook is pastor, and following a
heated conference Thursday evening
circular signed by DIR. Cook was dis
tributed repudiating the tribute.
The peoples Church of Christ"
was the result of split in the ranks
of the Bethel A. M. E. church some
years ago, when DR.. Cook led his fol-
lowers away from Bethel and found;
ed an independent church. Since that
time the church has grown in mem
bership and purchased an attractive
church edifice on South Parkway.
The statement issued by DR.. Cook
was as follows
"The general conference of the Al
rican Methodist Episcopal Church
was misled at the morning session on
Wednesday by what was purported to
be greetings from the Peoples
Church of Christ and Metropolitan
Community Center, to the conference
and concentrations to the presiding
bishop, A. J. Carey.
"The pastor and officers of the
church and center hold in reverence
and high respect the general confer
ence and the many distinguished prel-
ates composing it. The church and
center stand ready to extend greet
ings whenever the opportunity is Civ
en-. The greeting given on Wednes-
day morning was not authorized by
the pastor and officers of the church.
1t was a political trick and con-
temptible advantage taken of the
church and the officers to carry out
selfish ends of an individual in the
interest of Bishop A. J. Carey, who

NEW ENGLAND NOW
 READY FOR ISSUES
Turn to Wet and Dry Problems
 at Houston

Houston, Texas. June 2 RD-With nomination of their fayorite candi- date apparently a foregone conclu- sion, interest of ''solid smith" New England delegations to the democra- tic national convention was turning today to the battle over the question of d wet or dry plank in party's platform, and the choice of vice. presidential candidate.
 1t was opinion of leaders of New England delegations that differences between forces headed by Governor Dan Moody of Texas, who are in- sisting upon plank calling for strict enforcement of the prohibition law. and those faroring modification. would be threshed out by the plat form committee and a plank satis- factory to both sides agreed upon without carrying the fight before the convention.
 No Booms
 As there are no ''favorlte son. booms for vice president among the New Englanders their stand was un- determined but it was the consensus of leaders that the delegates would be guided by wishes of the smith managers.
 While Senator David l. Walsh, chairman of the New England dele gation, has declared himself per
 
 son of Arkansas. some Massachusetts and other New England delegates have expressed a liking for candidacy Of Cordell Hull of Tennessee. In adopting a motion yesterday to vote as unit for Smith. the Massachu- Sets delegation made no provision for unit vote for vice-president: It was expected, however, that the final choice of party leaders would ha,e the complete support of Massachu- setts delegates.
 Unit Rule Patrick II. Quinn, chairman of Rhode Island delegation and na- tional committeeman from that state, said his delegation would be governed by unit rule in voting for a vice presidential candidate, but had made no choice. Rhode Island, he said, would support the man whom it w1s believed would bring greatest strength 10 smith cause Leaders of Maine Ney Hampshire and Vermont delegations. reported that they had not reached de- cisions.
 New Englanders took part in the demonstration which broke out at last nights session when Claude G. Bowers, in the keynote speech, de- manded that the hand of privilege shall be taken out Of the farmers pockets and off the farmers throat" Although most of the New England men represented industrial com- munities, they were quick to join in the demonstration and their state standards were in the long line that wove it's way around the crowded hall

LIKES DIFFICULT CATCH
Coolidge Chooses to Do His Fishing Where the Fish are the Hardest to Nab.

Superior. Wis, June 27 NP)- Presiden, Coolidge chooses to do his fishing where the trout are hardest to catch.
 Mr. Coolidge revealed in the first press conference of his vacation that he preferred to cast his line in the Brule river rather than in the arti- ticial lakes around Cedar Island lodge. which are plentifully stocked with trout. It required greater ang- ling skill and seemed less tame. Most of his fishing expeditions, it was said, have been confined to the river.
 Smiling and joking as he paid his first visit to the executive offlces here, the president made it appar- ent that he enjoyed his rest on the secluded Henry Clay Pierce estate. and that both he and Mrs. Coolidge have improved in health. Cedar Island lodge, it was said. had full filled Mir. Coolidge's expectations ln every way. He has encountered no mosauities, except very few in the more heavily forested areas of the estate and looks upon the lodge as being as safe from insects as the south portico of the White House.
 It was said that although NIT. Coolidge had not considered any part he might take in the coming campaign, he may hold himself at the disposal of his party. For the present, at least. he does not intend to do any speaking. Perhaps some thing may be decided next week, when Secretary of Interior Work visits him to submit his resignation.
 The presidents son. John, will arrive at Cedar Island lodge Satur- day or Sunday.

LEAGUE TRIES ID ACCOMPLISH END
Vans Something Tangible Done
 About Disarmament

Geneva. June :7 (UP)-A last effort to accomplish something tangible toward disarmament before the League of Nations annual as- sembly conNenes in September was begun today by the leagues security and arbitration committee.
 No secfet was made of the com- mittee's belief that 1928, which was 10 be a banner year ill disarmament accomplishments has developed nothing to date.
 The committee hoped to draft model security treaties for submis- sion to the assembly as basis for eventual disarmament treaties.
 IL has been admitted that 6 group of European nations will not disarm themselves until such security trea- ties have been effected-guarantee ing them against possibility of at- tack.
 The committee. which met today is composed of the same tWenty-o one nations that made up the league s preparatory disarmament commits sion. with the exception of the United States. which refused to par ticipate on the ground that security was largely European question.
 At the March session of the secur- ity commission, it was decided that no world wide agreement on arbi- tration, security, non aggression and mutual assistance was possible for the time being and that series of regional traties instead among groups of heighboring nations must be effected.
 As the result, six model treaties Of various sorts were drafted. The commission at its present meeting hopes 10 draft these in their final form and submit them to the league for approval and action.
