Union leaders estimated that 40 to 60 automobiles had left Pontiac for Monroe before Martin arrived. These cars carried an estimate 200 to 300 men to aid the unions com mittee for industrial organization afflliates of the steel industry. Auto Workers Turn Back
 But instead of sending a delega- tion after them as Martin had sug- gested, repenent officials of the local telephoned the chief of police at Flat Rock, near Monroe, to inter- cept the motorcade. The chief did so, and, after a noisey roadside de- bate, the automobile workers de- cided to obey their leaders and turned back.
 "If you will go back to work and open these plants, that would be the finest thing that ever happened to our union," Martin told his Pon- tiac members.
 But his remarks were not all of a pleading nature. He warned the union members that discipline in the union is not good" and that you will have to learn to follow the direction of your international off, cers.
 My job is that of the toughest labor leader in the United States. Our union is young, and it is spread over the entire country" Former Minister Speaks A former minister who went to work in General Motors plant in ! Kansas City before he became the president of U. A. w. A., Martin told the membership that you can't go around closing plants whenever you feel like it."
 How many of you are willing to go back to work this morning?" he asked.
 A chorus of "ayes" resounded over the loudspeaker system. Martin arrived in the nick of time. The local already had de- clared labor holiday and its mem- bers were assembling what they hoped would be an army of 10000 men to descend on Monroe where Mayor Daniel A. Knaggs was fran tically telephoning the capitol in Lansing, seeking Governor Frank Murphy. He wanted the governor to call out the national guard but Murphy had retired for the night, leaving word that he was not to be disturbed, regardless of circum- stances.
 Up to the moment of his arrival, the labor holiday appeared cer- ] tainty.
 Fisher Body Closes
 Fisher body closed it's plant to approximately 5000 workers after union activities which the company attributed to the desire for holi- day. Pontiac Motors, dependent up- on Fisher for bodies, did not open its doors to several thousand day shift workmen who reported before dawn.
 Martins arrival and subsequent plea was believed to have forestalled the movement of 1,500 to 2,O0O au. tomobileS filled with auto workers to Monroe.
 Asleep at his Detroit home, Mar tin had been notified of the plan of union Local 159, which now is spon- soring rent strike in this city in protest against alleged "kiting" of rents for workers homes.
 Martin dressed hurriedly; and raced his automobile to Pontiac. He stormed into the union meeting. The doors were slammed shut and lock- ed.
 Merchants, mill and factory oper- ators, shop and storekeepers had confidently expected a complete tic up of commerce for 24 hours. They based their expectations on the Lansing labor holiday last Tuesday

South Hadley, Mass, June H. UP) Mount Holyoke College his- tory students today deposited in a special centennial box in the col- lege vaults their prophecy for the year 2037, to be opened by under graduates 100 years hence.
 The class predicted:
 That the "new democracy" of the Fist century would allow little room for "our traditional and treasured individualism."
 That democracy in one form or another nevertheless would persist and that dictatorship in America was improbable.

BE A GOOD SPORT

All this talk about what
will happen unless trees are
protected from slaughter and
soil froDn erosion is worthy
of study. But there is still
another phase of conservation
that is treated too lightly by
quite few people during
each fall and winter season,
and that is the matter of
conserving Wild life.
Protecting game does not
mean refusing to hunt when
it is legal to do so, nor does
it mean abstaining from the
killing of such game in sea-
son as the laws of the state
permit. Game conservation
means nothing more and
nothing less than being a
good sport and killing in law
full season only a sufficient
amount for your needs. It
does not mean killing by
wholesale simply because
the game is to be had and
your craftsmanship is good,
nor does it mean killing your
quota if a lesser amount will
meet your food demands.

That this community, like
most all others, has its share
OF game hogs" lis common
knowledge to a great many
real sportsmen-the kind who
are satisfied to kill only what
they need and who are too
law-abiding to kill during
the closed season. But the
game hog" like the man
who poisons dogs or dyna-
mites fish, is almost always
too willy to be caught in the
act. A little closer coopera-
ton with the state game con-
servation department, and a
more careful watch for game
law violations will, however,
go a long way toward dis
couraging such activity in
this community. If the hon
est sportsmen will make it
plain that they are the
enemies of all "game hogs"
then hunting will be more of
a joy for those who indulge
in it, and human needs will
be more easily satisfied be-
cause there will be more
game to kill.

JUST A HINT

Some years ago a tourist
complained to a man who
ran a restaurant in a small
southern town that he
couldn't get service while the
waitress danced with local
patrons. "Those people come
here all the time; l may
never see you again." the
proprietor replied. And he
never did. While there are
some business men who argue
that the, restaurant man was
right a majority will doubt
less agree that there is much
more to be said in favor of

CASE OF CARELESSNESS

unless there is a decrease in
forest fires is a matter for
serious consideration, es-
pecially when government re-
ports show that nine out of
every ten forest fires are
caused by human careless
ness. The dry autumnal sea-
son is at hand, with its in
crease in fire hazards. Every
one should keep that In mind
and use the utmost care in
keeping intact the stately
green mansions that are our
forests.

When it is understood that
last years forest fires burned
over an area of 100000
acres and caused a financial
loss of $50,OO0,0 900, the aver
age citizen can understand
the necessity for extreme
care when in the woods or
fields at this season. Some
100000 persons depend on
the woods for their living,
while more than 70,0O0,0 900

Start out tomorrow and
canvass the country, asking
every man you meet how
many different divisions of
government there are in the
u. S., and it is safe to say
not one will be anywhere near
correct in his estimate.
For two years the job of
counting the actual number
has been under way, and the
result should make every
taxpayer open his eyes in
wonderment. The total shows
that there are in this coun-
try $4,000 school districts,
10000 townships, 10000 in
corporated cities, towns, bor-
oughs and villages, 5000
counties, and $500 miscellan-
eous sewer districts, park
districts, levee districts, etc.
1t must be remembered that
each of these 175,418 districts
has its payroll, and also that
each district has the power
to tax.

SbACA IOSSCHGT III carrying out sound
policies proposed by the President.
That latter statement may sound
paradoxical. / think it is not. I
make the statement because / know
how many times the gigantic Demo-
cratic majority in congress has
fought over trivialities and because
I know how many times sincere op-
position to unsound policies has met
with defeat without the country
knowing the reasons for that oppo-
sition.
Taken all in all, therefore, I be-
heve it is an obligation upon me as
an observer of national affairs to
declare in favor of movement bv
the minority party that will result
in concentration of its power for
the good Of the nation.
And what, one may ask, should be
the creed of the minority party next
year?
Well, as I see the picture, the Re-
publican party must be the conserv-
What of the United States
the Creed? President Roose-
welt and his New
Dealers cannot avoid being the rad
ical party. I have said this MANY
times in these columns and it is
more evident now even than when /
reported upon the situation earlier.
The conservatives can and should
have a voice in their government
even If it is only an opposition voice
that constitutes balance-wheel.
Proceeding from that premise.
therefore, there can be little argu-
ment that the principles which the
Republicans advocate should be
drawn from principles of govern
mental policies that have proved
sound. That is to say, the Repub-
leans cannot afford to attack Mr..
Roosevelt on everything he has
done, but they can tear him DO
itically limb from limb with con-
structive proposals to take the place
OF those things he has done which
represent disbursement, deceit
and disaster to the country's eco
nomic life.
There will be no gain for the Re
publicans in 1898 elections if they at
tempt to ride two or three different
horses as they did in 1896. For ex-
ample, they cannot do as Candidate
Landon did, to wit, call for a bal
anced budget in one speech and ad-
vocate being Santa Claus in anoth-
err; they cannot blow hot and cold,
and, therefore, they must be either
conservative or radical.
1t seems to me the Republicans
can probably plan for an immediate
balancing of the national budget. In
that connection, they can with justi-
fication demand curtailment, if not
entire elimination, of many govern
mental functions inaugurated under
the New Deal. They can offer con-
structively proposal to legislate
out Of existence some 20 or 80 fed
eral agencies for which there never
has been and is not now any ex-
cuse for their existence.
, Another question that is CRYING
for attention Is the huge national
=, !. debt, now at $37,-
National 10000, 900. the
Debt highest in history.
That debt must be
reorganized and placed en q basis
that will permit gradF al liquida-
ton of it. The Roosevelt admins
tration has done nothing regard
ing the debt except to build 1t higher
and higher.
If the Republican party wants to
do a constructive Job it ought to
set to work to examine all of the

TOO MUCH GOVERNMENT

a most wasteful setup. There
are at least ten times too
many of these governmental
subdivisions. Because they
are conferred in Washington,
federal employees draw a
concentrated fire of criticism
because of their numbers.
But, in reality, their num-
bers are insignificant when
compared with the great
army of overlapping en-
ployes of lesser political and
governmental units. Resi-
dents of every state cry aloud
for economy in public affairs
and reduction in taxes, and
never turn a hand toward
consolidating some Of their
units of state and county
government, and abolishing
those for which there is no
real need. Until there is a
nationwide move in that
direction we must continue
to live in a country that suf-
fers from too much govern
ment.

same as the convention that is held
every four years for nominating the
presidential and vice presidential
candidates and formulation of party
policies through adoption Of a cam

The question has many angles and
In consequence many pros and cons
already have been advanced. In
natural consequence also, some very
well-known Republicans have taken
definite decisions, either for or
against the plan which has the APP
prevail OF men like John Hamilton,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, and former President
Herbert Hoover. Some very splen-
did men find themselves honestly in
opposition and have said so in I'M
equivocal terms.
The issue will be fought out at a
meeting of the national committee
early in November and probably
there will be such a convention
early in 1888.
AS I have said, there is argument
on both sides but after discussing
the situation with many Republi-
cans, it appears to me that the adj
vantages outweigh the disadvan-
tages. say this from the stand
point of the country at large.
Many times in these columns,
have expressed the conviction that
a strong minority party, whether
that party be Republican or Demo
cratic, is very healthy condition
for the country as a whole. A po-
itical party with too great a ma
jority is likely to run away with
itself and do many unsound things.
We have had proof of this during
the Roosevelt administration and we
had proof Of it during the admins
trations Of the late President Har-
ding and President Coolidge when
Republicans had too many members
Of the house and the senate and the
Democratic minority was impotent.
cannot speak from a Republi-
can standpoint any more than can
speak from a Democratic stand
point. Nevertheless, from the posi-
ton / attempt to follow as an OBJ
server of national affairs and long
range national policies, it does seem
that the Republicans ought to quit
fighting among themselves and get
together to oppose that which the
present minority in this country
finds Objectionable in President
Roosevelt's policies. They ought to
determine on set of principles
and stick to them. 1t is their obi
CATION and if they fail to fulfill that
obligation, it seems to me they had
best disband, get rid of those who
attempt to be leaders in the Repub-
hcan party and let somebody else
organize the minority faction in the
United States-and it is to be re-
membered that even in the last cleo
ton there were almost 5000, 900 Re-
publican voters.
In advocating this action, am
not motivated as much by my belief
In and support Of some of Mr..
Roosevelts policies an am In my

statutes enacted by congress in the
last ten or twelve years and espe-
cially those enacted in the haste of
the emergency with a view to re-
pealing of many of them. Some
can and should be rewritten to, make
them workable. Those statutes
placed on the books by the, Roose-
welt administration constitutes out
standing evidence of the lack of
opposition. We all know many of
those bills were written In execu-
tive departments and sent to con-
gress with instructions TO pass them
unchanged. Bad legislation has re-
suited many times and a checkup
surely is indicated.
As regards legislation now on the
statute books, it seems to me we
VIII never have sound prosperity un-
til certain laws that increase pro-
duction costs are eliminated. I mean
by this that there are numerous
laws which have the effect of widen
ing the spread between the price of
the raw materials and the price of
the manufactured products. Legis-
lation of this kind is bound to force
down the prices paid to the pro-
ducers and, in my opinion, the re-
suits are beginning to be reflected
on products of the farm.
Probably the most delicate cues
ton with which the Republicans are
confronted relates to wages and
hours Of labor. Business interests
have been shortsighted. Too many
times employers have overworked
their employees and have shown but
little consideration for the rights of
labor. The result is that labor In
demanding consideration in the
shape Of protection at the hands Of

or not, must take a stand.

Where the Tax
Burdens Fall
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
National Chairman
Sentinels OF the Republic :

Current reports from Washington
again quote Congressional leaders as
favoring q brake on the rising toll Of
taxes.
Despite earlier Disappointment, the.
American people win hope eagerly that,
this time, the promises are translated
into action
Whya Because, rs recent events em..
phasize, high taxes are clipped out Of.
every workers earnings, in the form OFF
higher costs of living.
And for this indirect levy on the
average citizens pocketbook they rive
little in return
Heavy taxes raise the rent of hor-as.
but they add neither room nor c,-y,--
fort.
Heavy taxes Jump the price of u. IN
but they add nothing to the crops it,
can grow.
Heavy taxes boost the costs Of finch
but they add nothing to the amount
Of heat or power It produces.
Heavy taxes initiate the price 0e food
but they add nothing to its nutritive
values.
Heavy taxes increase the cost and up-
keep 81 equipment whether ON the
farm, or In the home or factOry. But
they add nothing to the worA Il can
perform.
Wherever applied, heavy taxes take
much and contribute little. However
disguised. they are still produced in
the sweat Of the man who labors"
All citizens realize that reasonable
volume Of tax income Is necessary to
the proper functioning Of government.
But they also realize that when raised
to unreasonable heights. taxes become,
not so much necessity as burden.
They ask their elected representatives
IN Congress to realize this too-and Ia,
act upon that knowledge.

KING ENDS VISIT /:
WITH ROOSEVELT
Canadian Prime Minister
Believed to Have Discussed
ST. Lawrence.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie
King of Canada concluded today o
brief White House visit that gave op-
portunity for him and President
Roosevelt to discuss questions OF
mutual interest to the United States
and her northern neighbor.
The specific subjects Of their after
dinner conference last night were not
disclosed.
Word from Capitol Hill that admin
Ltration leaders expected the Presi-
dent to ask the Senate a second time
to ratify the st. Lawrence waterway
treaty led some to assume the two
chiefs of state had touched on the
joint development of the river.
The President suggested to reporters
earlier that world affairs would be a
major subject of their talk. King was
silent yesterday on the possibility OF
a united front of Western Hemisphere
nations in dealing with international
problems.
Kings first visit, less than two years
ago, resulted in reciprocal trade
agreement between Canada and the
United States.
Reminded that President Hoover
and Ramsay Macdonald of Great
Britain sat on a log in the Virginia
mountains to talk of naval disarma-
ment in 1929, King laughingly COM
mented that he and Mr.. Roosevelt
talked on White House sofa
King remained overnight at the
White House. He is en- route south
for a vacation.
