FOR ELIMINATION
OF CHILD LABOR

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-(U.P
The employment problems of the
machine age can be partially met
by elimination of child labor. and
shorter working hours for all la
Dor, according to President Hoover.
The President spoke in broad
cast from the White House last
night. He appealed for STEADY ell
mination of child labor" not only
for the sake of American youth,
but as an antidote to adult I'M
employment.
= Discussing the employment prob
lem resulting from the machine
age, he said
lone answer to it lies in short
ening the hours Of labor that all
may ultimately participate in the
productive work of the nation. But
there is also another contribution
which can be made-that is the
steady elimination of child labor,
A great deal has been accomplish
ed in this direction in past years"

Two more battles doomed today
as State Senator George w. Ro-

nomination of William D. Camp
bell in the 14th congressional dis
trict.
A court recount of the 1884 pre-
cincts under fire, combined with
the canvass returns in the other
Sd precincts and absentee voters
ballots, gave Campbell 1928 and
Rochester 9102.
Judge Leon r. Yankwich, in
whose court a recount was held,
said he would rule Monday on 385
votes which were questioned indi-
vidually by Rochester.
On the plea of Campbell, the ap-
pellate court issued an alternative
writ of prohibition. The writ is
returnable next Tuesday, at which
time Judge Yankwich was ordered
to show cause why he should not
be permanently restrained from
ruling on the nomination itself.

81 DEAD
IN COAST
DISASTER
Only Three Survivors AS
Vessel Pounds To Pieces
Near Victoria.
RADIO MAN HERO
Dies At Post After Lock-
ing Himself In Room To
Repair Apparatus.


VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 30.-tU.P)
-Wind-whipped, raging seas that
sent the steamer Nevada to wat
cry grave in the North Pacific
brought death to "a seamen and
passengers, radio messages from
the Dollar liner President Madison
said today.
The Madison, proceeding here
with the three survivors of the ca
tastrophe, related a tale of hero
ism and horror in brief radio mes
sages as James Thorsen and Fritz
Dewall, Portland, Ore, and Luce
ma N. Decaney, Manila, the survi-
vors, told of their rescue from
bleak Anatigmak Island, after their
80 shipmates and seven Chinese
passengers were drowned.
Thorsen cut his head in landing
in the surf, the President Madison
reported. Although the survivors
had not slept in the 48 hours be-
fore their rescue, and had eaten
only some dried flour, they were
said to need only rest and sleep.
William R. Robertson, Redondo
Beach, Calf, the radio operator,
locked himself in his cabin and
continued to send out messages for
help long after the Nevada had
crashed ashore and mountainous
waves pounded over her, breaking
her to bits, the survivors said.
Robertson died at his post, at
tempting to repair his sending ap-
paratus which was broken by the
pounding waves and wind.
Captain T. w. Johansen and
Third Mate c. A. Johnson, both
of Portland, leaped into the sea
rather than remain on the doomed
and fast disintegrating vessel, the
survivors said.
The Nevada hit hard on the fog
swept, uninhabited island Tuesday
night. There was shudder and
lights went out as her nose RAM
med at full speed against the
rocks.
Some sailors drowned as life
boats were dashed and tossed in
launching. Others dove over
board, trusting their own strength
to get them to the jagged shore.
Forty-two fought for their lives.
Only three won.
On the bridge of the President
Madison, Captain r. j. Healy sent
his liner at full speed toward the
desolate, dangerous Aleutian Is
lands. He reached the wreck at
noon yesterday.
For four hours his sailors
fought the elements, attempting to
launch a boat. Chief Mate C. R.
Moen commanded the rescue craft
that finally reached ashore and
took aboard the three survivors.
1.-THE rescue was admirably
DONE" was Captain Healy's terse
praise of the manner in which his
men risked their lives in the res
cue attempt.
The oregon Maru had reported
that men were seen ashore, and 1t
was believed the entire crew safe
ly had reached land.
TIL rescue was Captain Healys
second in the bleak North Pacific.
Three years ago, when he COM
manded the Montauk, he rescued
the entire crew of the Alloway,
water-logged and sinking.

ANOTHER SUIT
FILED AGAINST
BORDER CLOSING
Civil Action Will Test Re-
cent Change In Hours
Ordered By Mills.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 80. U.P)-
An injunction to prevent enforce
ment of the order for closing the
Mexican border at San Ysidro,
port of entry to Tijuana, Baja
California, at 9 p. m. was sought
today by Nathan M. Kaufman, of
Coronado, in an action filed in
federal court.
Nathan declared the order was
inconsistent, discriminatory and
unconstitutional" and he question:
ed the authority of Ogden d.
Mills, secretary of the treasury,
who issued the order.
The regulation closing the Dor
der lis a legal and not a political
ISSUE" Kaufman asserted. H e
claimed that the secretary of
treasury exceeded his powers in
shifting the closing hours from
p. m. to midnight and later from
midnight to 8 p. m.
In addition to Mills, kaufman
directed his action against William
H. Ellison, collector of customs;
William E. Evans, deputy collector;
Charles M. Whitaker, customs in
spector and several John Does.
The John Does" represented 10Th
er inspectors"
Kaufman claimed that the new
order, closing the border at p
M, disorganized foot and automo-
bile traffic and worked a great
hardship on persons employed on
one side of the boundary but hv-
ing on the other side.
He claimed that his own bust
ness interests made it necessary
for him to be on the Mexican side
of the line after 9 p. M, and that
the 9 p. m, closing caused him
business loss and great inconven-
fence.
Kaufman charged that CONNER
cial interests in San Diego eXerted
"the pressure" that led to the bor-
der closing order.
The plaintiff claimed that in
one month that the border was
open until midnight that $4,000
people had taken the privilege OF
crossing in the extra period.
A similar action was filed here
several months ago by a bookkeep-
er who was employed in Mexico
but lived in the United States
That action was dismissed by stip-
ulation when the order opening
the border until midnight was
made.
