postpone a hearing for four men ar

ated a portable radio set from the
track, sending information to a house
not far from the oval where 1t was re-
layed by phone or further radio to
Baltimore and New York, in advance
of other means of communication.
A completely equipped broadcasting
station was found on the second floor
of the house. along with two tele-
scopes, which covered the track from
start to finish lines. A smaller set for
sending was discovered in a mans vest
which was found in room in the
house and is believed by police to have
been used by man at the track.
All of the equipment was seized by
Sheriff Charles H. Farley of Upper
Marlboro and the men were to have
been given a hearing yesterday before
| police magistrate, but it was post
poned to allow a Federal inquiry into
the case.

BOULDER DAM ROW
RENEWAL. is SEEN
Supporters of Measure in
Senate Take Heart Over
New Developments.

By the Associated Press. ..
An ominous silence foreshadows the
resumption of debate in the Senate or
the Swing johnson Boulder Canyon
Dam bill which lived through a stub
born fllibuster against it at the last
session to hold it's place before the
Senate as the next order of business.
Supporters of the legislation, however,
are taking heart. Senator King, Demo-
crat, Utah, who joined with the Arizona
Senators last session in the successful
f1libuster which forestalled any action,
has indicated willingness to let the
bill be brought to vote.
There are rumorS that the report of
the commission of engineers appointed
to study the feasibility of the Colorado
River project will say that the Boulder
Canyon Dam proposal is feasible from
an engineering standpoint The COM
mission is now preparing report on
the economic feasibility of the proposal.
A digest of the engineers report is in
the hands of President Coolidge.
Ashurst Is Silent.
Senator Ashurst, Democrat Arizona,
who has led the fight against the bill,
is withholding any word which might
indicate his next step. He says the next
move is up to Senator johnson, Repub-
llcan, California, the co-author of the
legislation.
Senator Johnson has been i'll at his
home in California but is expected here
by the opening of Congress. Under the
agreement reached at the close of the
last session, the bill, which already has
passed the House, comes up on the Sec
ond day of the approaching short term
A filibuster which would hold out
through the entire short term seem;
improbable of success.
Amendments Planned.
Admitting that if the bill comes To
vote its chances for passage are very
good" Senator King is preparing some
amendments looking to the development
OF the upper basin. He would make
provisions for irrigation and power

Colorado to afford improvements fol-

SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS

The advertisers in the Butler Coun-
ty Press deserve the support of or
ganized labor and its friends. They
materially assist in making it possible
for this paper to be of service to the
workers. The individuals and firms
using our publication are showing in
terest in our cause and expressing
friendship for the wage workers, and
the latter should give them the prefer
ence in making their purchases. As
organized workers, you can readily
see the value of reciprocity in prefer
ence to all others. This goes to show
that our advertisers should get the
benefit of the purchasing power of or
ganized labor in Hamilton and vicinity
The money that is spent every week
in Hamilton amounts to thousands of
dollars; so remember, in buying, pa
tronize those who help our cause
along.

er than an economic right. Democracy
is therefore the underlying principle
upon which the Labor Movement is
based. But democracy, and through
democracy, freedom is not gained by
isolated efforts of individuals. Tney
are gained by the steady, persistent,
we'll thought-out, practical, progress
sive efforts of the workers to secure
justice, opportunity and peace for
themselves, their children and for all
humanity. This day dedicated to those
who toll with hand or brain, brings
thoughts of deep concern to those who
study deeply the economic problems
of civil government and public well
fare. Self preservation is the first
law of nature. This Labor Day, 1928,
finds the United States of America
the most desirable country in the
world in which to live, to rear fam
lily, and to have your being. If it were
not so, the tide of immigration from
all the world would not be clamoring
for admission at our doors. Labor
had the foresight to urge restricted
immigration law until it was enacted.
Labor will wage a ceaseless fight to
maintain an American standard of
living, which is far above the scale
of the labor of the old world Labor
in America is keenly alive to the ut
ter failure of radicalism, communism,
and bolshevism in the old world, and
will not be misled by propaganda or
false leadership. Step by step labor
forges ahead with its vision ever fixed
on liberty as the light of the world.
Gradually and yet persistently, la
boris purposes are becoming the pur-
poses of the nation; for every VIC
tory won by labor is victory for hu-
manity entire. The constructive meth
DDS of labor are symbolic of progress.
The solidarity of labor is thorough
and firm. The understanding of labor
is complete and unerring. The prin-
ciples and aspirations of labor are
written deeply and permanently in the
fundamental rights of mankind. They
are emblazoned in the Declaration of
Independence They are vivifed by
the devoted heart beats of the work
ers everywhere. So labor must tri-
umph. With labor's triumph will come
the Brotherhood of Man. Then will be
realized the vision of the prophet:
"They shall build houses and inhabit
them; they shall plant vineyards and
eat fruit of them. They shall not
build and another inhabit; they shall
not plant and another eat"

3S PAGES THIS WEEK

The Butler County Press is proud of
this-its Labor Day issue. Not be
cause of its size or number of pages
contained herein, are we proud, sc
much as because by their generous
subscription of space the Press feels
organized labor has the confidence, es-
TEEN and respect of the Hamilton ad-
vertisers in general and for that rea-
son and as spokesman for local or
ganized labor, the Press feels it may
justly be a little bit proud of this
weeks issue-the Labor Day edition
Very few of all the advertisers ap-
preached refused to subscribe space
very few indeed On the other hand,
all seemed pleased and anxious for
the chance to show their friendly feel
ing for the labor movement. And
speaking for the organized workers of
Hamilton, we say: ITO have the con-
idence, the esteem and good will of
the business and professional men, the
manufacturers and employers in gen.
eral is something to be proud of and
is highly valued"
Many of the local labor unions, by
their generous contributions, assist
ed materially in making this large is
sue of the Press possible. To them
and to all the advertisers in this
weeks issue the Press extends its sin
cere thanks.
The Press would also ask that all
organized labor and friends show
their appreciation to the advertisers
represented herein by extending to
them their patronage.

DOWN IN NICARAGUA

After one of the most thorough sur
veys yet made of American financial
interests in Nicaragua, a New York
Times writer concludes that since 1914
Wall Street has played a part in that
country second only to the American
State Department. They may or may
not be putting the cart before the
horse and various Americans will have
their own way of looking at it, as do
various Nicaraguans. But putting fl
nance and diplomacy together, it be-
comes evident that Nicaraguans have
been running rather poor third. Per-
haps Wall Street and Mr.. Kellogg
think latina American relations mean
something like step-children.

will permit the killing and manning
of workers for another two years.
Protests are futile when backed by
action. Opponents of social progress
will publicly sympathize with workers
while they secretly smile at their in
ertia.
These opponents do not fear resolu-
tions passed by men who depend upon
others to remove wrong.
Self-help alone breeds respect. Col
orado workers will have two years to
realize the effects of contrary pol
icy.
