4 NAVY BANDITS
SOUGHT HERE

A dragnet for four men be-
lieved involved in a plan to rob
the pay office Of the Annapolis
Naval Academy, Saturday night,
was spread by Washington police
today.
The holdup was frustrated by
an alert Marine private, Russell
Oehman, on sentry duty outside
the office in the large power
house of the academy on the
Severn River front.
Private Oehman's suspicious
were aroused by an automobile
and four men lowering around
the office where the semimonthly
envelopes for officers. civilian in
structors and other employees
were stored.
He walked over to the automo-
bile and saw machine gun on
the floor, and telephoned to the
office of Rear Admiral Robinson,
commandant. Meanwhile the
Would-be bandits drove away.
The office is under heavy guard
since. The bandit automobile bore
District tags, it is said, and a
description has been given the
local police.

Mayor James j. Walkers missing
business agent, Russell T. Sherwood,

ports that brokerage accounts total

Sherwood has been wanted for

It was pointed out at the city

new INDUSTRIAL
PLAN DEMANDED
BY U. S. LABOR
Social Revolution Impends
Unless Relief Is Given,
Green Warns.
BY DAN BOWERMAN
United Press STAFF CORRESPONDENT

VANCOUVER. B. c.. Oct. is. -
New economic principles, officially
as the only way out of industrial
depression and its attendant human
misery we're recommended by the
fifty-first convention Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
The convention adjourned Thurs
day night after two weeks of in
tensive work. Economic policies
which it presented to capitalism
and the government call for we'll
ordered and peaceful industrial
revolution. The alternative, Will
liam Green, labor's chieftain
warned, is possibility of a social
revolution.
We speak for unorganized labor
and for the voiceless millions of
unorganized toilers in the overall
and ite-collar classes" President
Green said.
Shorter Hours Sought
Here Is what that force demanded
of industry.
/. Reduce unemployment and bal
ance increased machine production
with buying power by shortening
the working week to five days and
shortening the eight-hour day.
2. Make possible continuous oper-
alton Of the important luxury-pro-
ducing industries by maintaining
wages at higher levels and sustain
ing buying power.
3. Release savings now boarded
through fear by assuring year
around employment to minimum
work forces.
4. Strengthen employ m e n t
agencies to end the confusion OF
placing men in employment.
5. Keep young persons in school
and out of competition with their
elders for jobs.
6. Immediately amend the Vol
stead act to permit legal beer.
Want Injunction Curbed
This is what labor will demand of
the next congress-:
1. Increase labor's power OF COL
lective bargaining by removing
power of federal judges to issue IN
functions in labor disputes.
2. Reduce alien competition In
the American Job market by sus-
pending immigration for two years,
by totally excluding Filipinos.
3. Putting drastic restrictions on
Mexican immigration.
4. Distribute the wealth garnereo
by 2 per cent of the population by
sharply higher taxes, at the same
time abandoning any plans to tax
the remaining SO per cent OF the
people with a levy on sales.
5. Create jobs by large-scale pub
lie works. Guarantee that contrac-
tors getting such jobs will maintain
high wages and not depress wages
for the sake of greater profits.
6. Aid in preventing future de-
pressions by advance planning Of
public works to be slashed when in
dustry falters and starts laying off
men.

DON'T LET FEAR
BOSS YOU

"Im afraid I'm afraid - I'm
afraid" A million times day we
say it-"I'm afraidl' And then we
wonder why we have so little success
and so little happiness!
If you spend your whole life look
ing for safety, then you'll get safety,
perhaps, and you'll find out how little
it amounts to.
Safety isn't success, and it isn't
happiness. Safety is negative thing.
1t isn't worth bean by itself. It's
not getting hurt-that's all. Yet mill
lions of people waste their whole lives
trying to be safe.
The world of business is filled with
fears. 1t is filled with people who are
hiding lodging running for dear
life
In business life, as well as on the
battlefield, men have shell shock and
spasms of fear-blind mad, unreason-
ing tear.
Most business men have these
spasms of fear in times of depres-
sion. Then they cancel orders, and
sack employees, and stop advertising,
and dig themselves in.
Generally it is not what does happen
that frightens men, but what might
happen. Most men squeal before they
are hurt.
The truth is that no man can escape
either criticism or risk. You can
never be blameless and you can never
be safe, so why worry about it?
Face your fears. Walk towards
them. And you'll be surprised to see

without actually meaning to make
others uncomfortable.
Most of us are too critical in our
attitude toward others. We criticize
others for doing certain things, when
half the time, were we in their place,
we would do exactly the same or
worse. You can never tell what you
would do.
Try to take a generous view of
other peoples actions; even if you
can't bring yourself to think kindly,
at least control your tongue. You
get in the way of making spiteful
remarks without realizing how much
harm it does you.
Just try the scheme of refraining
from unkind criticism. Try it for a
week, anyway. 1t can't hurt you, and
it may do world of good
