tually all elevator and -four mills in
the city.
Both the truck drivers and cereal

But Political Candidates Will
Seek Out Audiences by

While political candidates and labor
leaders prepared to deliver impressive
Labor day declarations wooing the votes
and support of the Nations working
men, the butcher. the baker and the
candlestick maker today dropped their
work. closed their shops and took to
the open road.
Like many other cities throughout
the Nation, Washington this year will
have no Labor day parade with plac-
ards declaring the solidarity Of the
workers. The great mass of workers
have tucked their families into their
cars and already are at nearby beaches
and resorts to take advantage Of the
Summers last holiday.
To meet these changed conditions.
the political candidates and leaders
of labor have taken to the radio, and
many speeches will be given this after
noon and tonight.
President Roosevelt broadcast his
Labor day address last night, con-
tending that Government expenditures
saved business and announcing he
would aid drought-harassed farmers
by allocatnig $2,500,000 to the United
States Employment Service to stimu-
late absorption of relief workers by
private industry.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in a
speech at Knoxville, Tenn, last night,
urged a new effort on a Nation wide
scale to regulate hours Of work and
increase purchasing power. He is
scheduled to make another talk to-

the Dollar liner President Hoover and
$50 Orient-bound passengers in dock
three days beyond sailing time.
AS Federal Intervention neared, the

sengers included r. D. Standish, official
of the Chase National Banks office at
Kobe, Japan, and H. c. Anderson,

Threat of coast-wide strife came in
announcement by Thomas G. Plant,
representing waterfront and ship en-
ployers at all ports, of severance of
relations with the Sailers' Union be-
cause of the President Hoover incident.
Both sides in the dispute awaited
E. H. Fitzgerald, conciliator for the

Coincidentally in his address before

This Is the last time I will have
the pleasure Of greeting the annual
convention Of the American Legion
of Kansas as Governor Of the State.
For four years I have enjoyed the
privilege of meeting with you and
visiting with you in that capacity.
Our American Legion Convention
today is one Of fellowship. We here
observe that section of the preamble
to the Legion constitution that calls
upon us to preserve the memories
and incidents of our association in
the great war"
We must not forget the incidents
and memories of training camps OF
battlefields that bind us together
They are precious to us all. In them
We regain the spirit of that supreme
adventure in our country's service
That adventure did not end on No
vember II. 1918. Our fellowship in
past memories Is fine. But 1t involves
fellowship in present and future
duties. We shall not get the value
out Of our meetings If we let these
duties pass out of mind.
Let me remind you of them.
First, is the duty OF tolerance. II
ought not to be necessary to stress
tolerance In America. We have a
great tradition Of tolerance growing
out OF the fundamentals Of our past.

different religions.
Men Of every nation, every cline,

estants, Catholics, Jews, worked here
side by side, good neighbors, good
citizens.
No other nation has such a back
ground.
Racial Antagonism.
But Of late there has been disquiet-
ing evidence of attempts to stir up
racial antagonism. This is due in part,
I suppose. to the influence of the per.
scouting spirit that has broken out in
certain regions in Europe. In part it
may be due to the depression that has
strained our nerves. In part, I sus-
pect, it is due to what we call pure
oneriness." of which we all have q
