LOOMS

Washington's Chamber Of
Commerce is considering at
tempting to have Congress
abolish capital punishment in
the District.
The proposal will be acted on at
a meeting Of the chamber in the
wilIasd Hotel Tuesday night at $50
o'clock. The body will be advised
to sponsor the movement by its
committee on law and legislation.
Judge Mary O'Toole, of Municipal
Court. is the head of the committee
that has made an exhaustive study
of the problem. Mrs. Caroline B.
stephen is chairman of subcom-
mittee that recommended that the
chamber take the Initiative in such
a drive.
No Crime Deterrent
Friends of the campaign argue
that the death penalty has been no
deterrent to crime. They also claim
that In some cases murderers have
been found not guilty because their
juries didn't want to bring about
their execution.
1t is said that these were the
principal arguments that caused
abolishment of the death penalty in
some six or eight States.
Another argument against hang
ing or electrocuting murderers is
that 1t works hardship on the
poor. 1t is claimed that almost
any murder charge can be beaten
if the defense has wealth behind it.
Furthermore, modern psycholo!
gists argue that persons who kill
are mentally diseased and can be
cured. 1t is said that some slayers
have been treated until they were
normal and turned out to be good
citizens.
Argument Against
On the other hand, some members
OF the chamber think il capital
punishment were abolished most any
ifetaker could draw a life sen.
tence, serve ten or fifteen years in
penitentiary and return to kill
some one else.
Since there is considerable feeling
both for and against the abolishment
among members of the chamber, a
spirited argument is expected to
mark Tuesday nights meeting. Judge
O'Toole probably will bear the brunt
Of the attack for those favoring the
plan.

WHAT'S ON AT THE sHow7

The inimitable Harold Lloyd in an 8-reel comedy titled 1.-The Kid Brother" will feat Ire the Sunday evening dis play at the Nagle movie shop.
 The play is reputed to be one of Harold Lloyd's best pictures and is filled with laugh-pro- voking situations from start to finish. The comedy will be supplemented with a late Pathe news reel of late events in the Outside world.
 As the expense of bringing "The Kid Brother" to Hyder is considerably greater than the usual run of shows, Propri- etor Nagle plans to give sec ond display of the feature Tuesday evening.
 The bill for the following Sunday, Nov. 4, will include "No Mans Law" a vivid story of the West, featuring Rex, the famous performing horse, whose remarkable talents have formed the background for a wide range of popular film dramas. The program will also include a Imaginable comedy.

SETTLERS DOING WELL

"One of the settlers came, a few years ago, into this reign with but $35 in his pocket Now he has scores of acres of cultivated land, all kinds of modern farming machinery, live stock and several buildings. I took a number of pictures of another far mer near Matanuska who had arrived and settled on the land 14 years ago. Then he lived in a small log cabin about 10 10 in size; he cultivated but a few beds of strawberries which he carried on his back from the rail- road station. Some years later he was able to build larger cabin, and now he owns a large residence which would be credit to any settlement; has hundred acres of cultivated land, machinery, live stock, etc.

changed but little from it's original state, even at depths of two feet or more, where, obviously, the vegetable matter has lain for a very long time. There are also many moss covered areas where the subsoil is permanent ly frozen. With the removal of all this luxuriaaat vegitation and the opening up of the soil by blowing, process of improvement immediately starts up, evidently connected with aeration, which are conducive to a change equivalent to a sanitation of the soils, or at least to changes favor able to plant development. This inn provement is hastened by application of wood ashes. Tn general, the soils, which have never been touched since creation, are ready to respond to the efforts of the settler.
 "Matanuska Valley and the region tributary to the government railway are the best for settlement by reason of the improved transportation facil- ities. In fact, there are a number of homesteaders already in the region I talked with some of them and receiv- ed most encouraging information.

Illinois Contract Signed

Chicago I. L. N. .).-Representa-
tives of Illinois coal miners and oper-
ators in joint conference have agreed
upon new four-year contract pro-
viding for a reduction of from Is to
20 per cent in the miners wages.
The new contract is subject to a
referendum of Illinois 10000 union
miners. If ratified, it becomes effect
i've September 16, to continue in eff
feet until March 81, 1882. 1t calls for a
basic wage scale of S6.10 day for
the day worker and 81 cents a ton
for the tonnage miner.
The old rates under the Jacksonville
agreement, which expired Is months
ago, were $3.50 day and $1.O8 ton.
In the new agreement the miners
recognize the right of the operators
to install mechanical equipment for
loading and conveying their coal. The
agreement designates the mechanical
mining of coal will be paid for on a
tonnage basis, if that is practical. -.

LABOR PROBLEM
Before Every Generation
For Solution, Says Stelzle

New York.-A solution of the labor
problem was secuted by Charles
Stelzle, former superintendent of the
Department of Church and Labor of
the National Presbyterian church, in
a radio address in this city. ''The la
Dor question will never be settled until
the last days work is done," said Mr..
Stelzle. ut does not matter what plan
may be accepted by the present organ
ization, we may be sure that it will
not be satisfactory to those who will
follow US. The securing of industrial
peace is not a question of working so
many hours day or getting so many
dollars for days work. 1t is ques-
ton whether they are working under
fair economic conditions. And as our
prosperity grows, it is natural that its
blessing should be increasingly extend
ed to working men.
"This means, in substance, that
every generation will have its labor
problem. And when any political par
ty or economic group presents pan
acea for the labor question, it is time
to adjourn the meeting"
Mr.. Stelzle declared that social un-
rest in industry mad throughout the
world in general "is one of the most
hopeful signs, because it is the legiti-
mate outcome of the finest idealism
the world has ever known. Every
worthwhile institution, if it is fulfill
ingfi its mission, is helping to develop
dissatisfaction with present condi-
tions."
The speaker pleaded for better un-
derstandings between men, even
though they disagree. "It is better
to understand a man than to silence
him." he said.

deficiency" CRAZE
Is Counterfeiters' Aid, Claim
Plate Printers

Observation-Disclosures plate print
ers, who make the nations paper
money, challenge treasury officials to
disprove their charge that small bank
notes, now being manufactured, will
make counterfeiting easy.
The Treasury Department says the
reason for small notes is "that the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
can not meet the demands of the coun-
try for notes of the present size"
Answering this claim, plate print
ers point to their lay offs and fur
loughs for practically one-twelfth of
the last fiscal year.
Behind this small note movement is
the United States Bureau of Efficiency
that is only interested in saving few
thousand dollars, while ignoring losses
that can not be computed because of
the ease with whic hthe new money
can be counterfeited, the printers say.
All scientific methods will be dis
carded in printing the new notes. The
process will be the same as used by
any commercial establishment in
printing rattle tickets and hand bills.
This will make it possible for the
Bureau of Efficiency to show the next
congress an apparent money saving
but the counterfeiters will be in clover
ITO the photo engraver, the ease
with which the new notes can be re.
produced is apparent and to the pro
cess printer they are joke" said
Frank j. Coleman, editor of Plate
Printer. The labor editor points tc
this situation as an illustration of
how far efficiency" experts will go.

Indianapolis, Ind. G. L. N. 81
Settlement of the wage dispute be-
tween Illinois miners and operators
paves the way for similar settle
ment in Indiana and Iowa and some
other of the outlying districts, it was
said at the headquarters of the United
Mine Workers here.
The basis of settlement in Indiana
will be substantially that of the Hi
nois district. A day rate of Sc and "a
cents ton for pick mining will per-
haps be the figures in Indiana. AL
ready a number Of mines are planning
to open on that basis, operators say.
There are some $4,000 miners in In

have been operating intermittently on

will hasten general production in the

"REDS" MIX
Their Medicine; Have All
Kinds OF Dope

Washington.-Aus labor pa
Dor papers received at A. F. of l..
headquarters show that Communists on
the other side of the world are using
anti-union tactics so familiar in Amer
lea.
Every agreement between unions
and employers is sneeringly referred
to as "class collaboration" In some
instanceh, however, the reds" are
bolder in Australia, and call on work
ers to discard "all illusions regarding
the possibilities of constitutionalism
in the workers struggle against the
employers and in the so-called Labor
governments"
In America the reds" urge trade
unionists to form labor" party,
while in Australia they oppose the es-
tablished labor party.
These contrary policies are logical
for Communists. To them, consisten-
cy, morality and truthfulness are
"bushwah" dope that drugs workers
and delays the revolution.
In New York City the "reds" have
organized fake cloak makers unions
that used by employers to smash
working conditions established by or
ganized garment workers.
In other sections of the country the
"reds" pose as mild-mannered "pro-
gressives until it is safe to show
their teeth.
