DUE IN DENVER

DENVER, Col, September L.
Demand was made yesterday for a
thorough investigation of the
activities of the Rev. A. j. Finch,
superintendent Of the Anti-Saloon
League of Colorado, which has
been employed in the spirited
contest Of George H. Shaw and
William v. Hodges for the Re
publican United States senatorial
destination.
Harry Riddle, Denver attorney,
for 80 years a member Of the
Anti-Saloon League, said that re-
cent revelations regarding the
league "are shocking to the pub
lies moral sense and to every
idea Of honesty and fairness in
the conduct of its affairs" Rid
die is a trustee of the league.
He aligned with Shaw, who was
termed as unsatisfactory" on
prohibition by the league, which
indorsed Hodges, his opponent.
Finch, besides being superin-
tendent of the league, and a
power in its affairs, is president
of the Fitzsimmons Oil and Leas-
ing Company, which is drilling a
wildcat well east of Denver. It
was recently learned that he has
been selling oil stock, on which
he got a Is per cent commission,
to political candidates his league
later recommended to the dry
contingent Of votes.

SOUTH AMERICA
FIGHTS DOPE |

Brazil has joined the movement
for a Pan-American conference on
narcotics.
Declaring he is convinced Of the
necessity for a regional discussion
Of the narcotics problem under
Pan-American auspices, Ambassa-
dor Gurgel do Amaral said he
would present the suggestion to
his government as soon as the
proposal has been authoritatively
framed.
The largest country in South
America, with its vast coast line
and its many harbors, Brazil has
a natural interest in action that
would effectively curb illicit irnpor-
tatiOn Of narcotics. The ports Of
Rio de Janeiro, Para, Pernambuco
and Rio Grande do Sui, particu.
larly, are visited by ships Of every
nationality and the opportunities
for smuggling dope have assumed
especial Importance.
Already Pan-AInerican conven-
tionS for sanitary, public health
and customs regulations have
proved valuable in remedying
many undesirable conditions that.
existed in all Of the Americas,
Thus the movement for a Pan.
American narcotics conference Is
viewed with undisguised approval
in diplomatic quarters here.
Argentine, through, Charge
D'AffaireS Encisco, also has Signi:
fled its intention Of supporting the
narcotics move. Mexico, through
Ambassador Teller, and Cuba,
through Charge D'affaires Baron.
have likewise given it their
enthusiastic approval.
Minister Diaz de Medina, Of
Bolivia, is another who has con.
Cured in the movement, although
insisting that his government
would probably insist upon Q
reservation in favor of the Bolivian
coca plant.

10 YEARS. GAINS
STIR DAVIS
BY JAMES ]. DAVIS
Secretary Of Labor

During the past nearly ten
years as Secretary in the cabinets
Of three Presidents, it has been
. great pleasure to note the ad.
vancement which has marked
the productive efforts Of labor
and industry in the United States.
Particularly, have men and man.
agement come closer together in
their regard for each other, which
has gradually grown into high
mutuality Of respect.
Tolerance and good will be-
tween them has resulted in a
happier cooperation than ever
before, and our whole population
has benefited under this new era
Of industrial peace. For this
reason alone, despite the diff
culties which we are experiencing
as we slowly emerge from a
period of temporary depression.
there is much cause to be thank
full on this Labor Day.
All Help Hoover
Within the year, particularly,
both Government and people
have been ZealouSly seeking to
improve the whole nations condi.
ton. Last autumn, the financial
crash had hardly occurred when
President Hoover called upon the
heads of all Federal departments
to speed up every possible
measure Of relief.
Immediately, it will be recalled,
the President summoned into con-
ference the leading railroad and
business executives, industrial and
labor leaders, outstanding repre-
sentativeS in the construction in
dustry, and launched a vast CO
Ordinated program to sustain all
possible p productive enterprise
throughout the country.
At these conferences the leaders
of business and Of labor organi-
cations agreed that wages should
be maintained at their existing
levels during the continuance Of
the emergency.
Thus it was that for the first
time in history of American bust
ness cycles none Of the wage-cutS
which had been in the past en-
ployed as a remedy, were invoked
Questions to Settle
Even though there are many
economic questions which are vet
unSolved in our country, the
people of other lands marvel at
the present condition of labor in
the United States. They envy the
general economic security OF
American workers They cannot
quite understand the opportuni,
ties, social, political and economic
to which the children of America
workers are born.
In these wonderful United
States there is no aristocracy save
that which is based upon merit
and achievement. The son Of a
manual laborer may aspire to
the highest office, or may gain
the honor Of respect of all ele-
mentS of society, because Of his
moral and intellectual worth, his
genius, his enterprise, or his in,
dtlstry.
Today there is nothing to hinder
the cultural development of the
humbleSt citizen Indeed, the
achievements Of our most note.
worthy people have been made
possible largely because of this
free doctrine.
