A Farm-Labor Party in the Making &.
A Presidential Ticket in 1914
None in 1910

WASHINGTON IA substantial farmer-labor :
party is in the stage of discussion and planning
by leaders of labor and farmer groups
Labor's Non-Partisan League, a coalition OF
CLIO and A. F. of l.. groups organized LOT poal-
tieal action, is going to have little brother-
the Farmers Non-Paytisan League.
Probably there will be no farmer-laber pres
idential ticket in 1940 although insiders OF the
movement hazard the guess that there will be
such a ticket in 1914. Meanwhile the two
leagues will work closely together in seeking
to elect progressive candidates in 1888
A conference at st. Paul, before long, at
which farm delegates will predominant and both
progressive congressman and leaders Oh tne
labor league will attend, is being planned
States where preliminary organization is
planned are Minnesota, Wisconsin, the two Dako-
tas, Nebraska and Montana.
The labor league has announced it would
open regional offices which would organize IN
all counties uroan and rural
One factor which may hurt the movement
is a widespread impression that the LNPL Is a
political appendage of John Lewis and the O.
10. But the LNPL claims it has more than 5O
officials of A. F. of l.. unions on its executive
beard-none of whom have resigned-and that
more than half its officials are A. F. OF L. men,
E. l.. Oliver, executive vice president VINO
is in charge of the movement since Senator
George Berry quit as president, Is the former
director of research of the Brotherhood OF Kali
way Clerks, F. of L. union. NeVertneless,
Lewis and Sidney Hillman of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers the prime movers behind
the leagues organization and installed Berry,
head of an A. F. of L. union as president
There is still much radical feeling in Iowa,
Nebraska the DakotaS and Montana-or. so one
hears-as well Farmer-Labor governed Min
nesota Labor leaders and the few farm leaders
thus far allied hope farmers will respond to
their program.
1t may prove impossible for these men to
break down the theory that farmers and work
ers have fundamentally conflicting interests. 1t
is often argued that wage increases mean in
creased cost of goods farmers must buy and
higher food prices mean lower real wages for
workers.
Farmer-labor people will argue that this APP
plies equally to all groups of producers, that
higher incomes enable workers to buy more farm
products and farmers to buy more labor prod
ucts, that unity of interest rests in obtaining
necessities of life at lower cost, that farmers
with their problem of marketing and distribu-
ton and workers with their problems of wages
and hours should unite to eliminate waste mini
mize profits and attack corruption and profit
eerng in business.
It's just guesswork whether this latest farmer
labor movement will get to first case.

just about a year ago, the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization
was ordained as an Independent
factor in American labor history
by its suspension from the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor over the
issue of industrial unionism-which
the Clio favors-yersus craft un-
ionism.
Within that year, the CLIO. has
grown from eight national and in
ternational unions to include 70
such organizations. The member
ship has risen from about million
to slightly more than three million,
and is still growing. ....=
Apparently, then, it may be class

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 have a
literary friend whose relaxing mo-
ments are spent in proving around
haunted houses late at night and
from which he makes models. There
is more material than one might
imagine. Every town and city neigh
borhood has its haunted house.
Most of them run to fictional
type-lop sided, decayed, with
mournful cedars waving gaunt
branches across the broken WIN
dcws. Floors that creak and num-

den and an abandoned cistern where
someone reputedly fell in one

There are, in the central section
of New York IS houses, difficult
to rent. Real estate agents say
frankly they are jinxed by ghost
rumorS.
People in a spirit of braVado
often rent houses supposed to be
haunted But the records show they
invariably leave within a very short
time. They will admit they have
never seen a ghost but they do
hear strange noises. The fact is
every house has strange noises.

z SMALL CHILDREN
ATTACKEDBY NEGRO
Both in Serious Condition
for While Sunday but
Will Recover
SUSPECT BEING HELD
Willie Brockington Identified by Small
Boy as Assailant; Children
Clicked in Field Near
Cemetery

Two small colored children, one
boy about four and the other a girl
about two years of age, were choked
into Inconsistencies in spot back
of Elmwood cemetery Sunday morn
ing, and Willie Brockington, about 30
Negro, is being held by police without
bail on a tentative charge of attempt
ed murder, after being identified by
the boy as the assailant.
Henry Jones, father of the children,
james, 4, and Mary, 2, died later of
shock and excitement at Jubilee hos
pital where he took the children for
treatment.
The mother went away from the
home on Breckenridge street, near
the cemetery entrance, to pick ber-
ries. When she returned she found
the children missing and with q
nieghbor started a search. The tiny
tots were found in an unconscious
condition back of the cemetery, and
it was feared for a time the boy
would die The girl was quickly re-
vived, and the boy was back at his
home today, both apparently well on
the way to recovery.
BrOckingtOn was ldentlfled by the
boy as the assailant when the prison
er was lined up with four other Ne
grocs and the child asked if any man
in the group was the suspect. He had
already been taken into custody by
officers who advanced the theory
that the prisoner had liquor hidden in
the vicinity where the attack occur
red and the children ran upon him at
the spot.
Mayor Henry T. Powell said today
hearing would likely be given
Brockington at the Wednesday morn
ing session of police court.
Jones, father of the children, was
holding the boy in his arms at Jubilee
hospital at the time he was taken ill.
He handed the child to nurse and
walked outside, falling dead in the
yard.

Cnelr happiness.
A similar appeal was sounded in
an address by Benjamin Rush, FAM
Gus physician and signer of the Dec
laration of independence Referring
to the Revolution and its achieve
mentS, he said in part:
Nothing but the first act of the
great drama is closed. It remains yet
to establish and perfect our new
forms Of government; and to prepare
the principles, morals and manners
of our citizens for these forms OF
government after they are established
and brought to perfection"
Fortified, undoubtedly, by these ex-
preSA1ns Of hope, the delegates re-
convened on July to consider the
committee report on representation
ir the National Legislature. Vigor-
Gus discussion ensued. BY July 10,
however, they had agreed that the
lower house alone should originate
appropriation bills, that each state
should have equal representation in
the upper house, and that the Ma
tional Legislature should regulate,
from time to time, the ratio of rep
reSentation.
But these solved only few of the
problems confronting the Conven-
ton. On the principles they estab-
liShed, and the points still unsettled,
long and sometimes heated debate
was to follow.

Thus members of the Federal Con-

America expressed as they paused in
their labors of writing our ConStitu-
ton to participate in Independence
Day celebrations just $50 years ago
this week.
It was a nationwide observance,
that eleventh birthday of the famous
Declaration. But nowhere was it
more significantly celebrated than in
the shadow of the State House, where
the Convention met and the historic
document had been signed.
AS in many communities today,
July Fourth was celebrated in the
red-brick city of Philadelphia that
year with artillery salutes, military
professions and patriotic speeches.
At least one of these orations, de-
livered in nearby church and heard
by many delegates, was addressed di-
rectly to the members of the Con-
vention.

monished, ito you your country looks

men who cut the cords of foreign
legislation are competent to framing
q system of government which will
embrace all interests, call forth our
resources, and establish our credit.
But in every plan for improvement
or reformation, may an attachment
to the principles of our present gov
eminent be the characteristic of an
american, and may every proposition
TO add kingly power to our federal
system be regarded as treason to the
liberties of our country"
With a spirit of prophecy, as well
as OF faith, the orator, James Camp
bell, OF Philadelphia, continued:
How fallen would be the charac-
ter we have acquired in the estab-
llshment Of our liberties, if we dis
cover inability to form suitable
government to preserve them! Is the

City and county offices were likewise
closed for the entire day.
In churches Sunday sermons had to
do in some measure with the occasion
with utterances of the ministers hav-
ing a patriotic tinge.
Scores of people were away from
the city over the double holiday event,
many going to the beaches for the
first time this summer.
The weather for the dual holiday
was favorable for outings. There was
a mild thunderstorm during the after
noon Sunday, and skies were over
cast a part of the time today. Tenn
peratures were not unduly oppressive
for the season, and on the whole the
the occasion was set down as pleas
ant period of rest and recreation for

FOUR LYNCHINGS
FIRST HALF 1887
Three We're for Murder and One for
Rape, All Negroes, and in
Three States

There were four lynchings in the
United States during the first half OF
1887, according to records compiled
by Tuskegee Institute in Alabama
and announced in a circular that has
been received here. For many years
this internationally famous Negro in
stitution has been compiling records
on mob violence and making an
nouncement of the statistics each
January 1 and July 1.
The four lynchings the past six
months were the same in number as
for the first half of 1885 and 1896 and
Two less than the six in the like pc
Rod in 1884.
All of those lynched were Negroes
three of them charged with murder
and one with rape. Two of the lynch
ings occurred in Mississippi and one
each in Alabama and Georgia.
