"The success of the comprehensive
economic and social program, which
was launched in 1888, is in fact al
ready assured. Since March of that
year, as a result of progressive and
constructive policies, planned with the
well-being of the entire nation in mind,
jobs of private industry, exclusive of
agriculture, has been provided for
more than seven and quarter million
men and women who were without
work in the early months of 1888. In
this same period the amount in weekly
pay envelopes, in manufacturing alone,
increased by more than $9O,0O0,O0O.
Results have been partly satisfac-
tory SO far as the income Of farmers
is concerned. Cash income of farmers
for the first six months of 1888 totaled
$2,O57 100000, as compared with ST.
975, 100000 in the first six months of
1889 an increase of $918,000,000.
"All this constitutes an economic
achievement of which we may well be
proud. So let us be thankful upon this
Labor Day and the days to come for
what we have accomplished in the
great democracy which is the United
States and let us pray that nothing
may transpire to interrupt our prog

always by democratic ideals. The AM

American Labor can best promote it's

American institutions and that progress
for labor is inseparable from progress

fore US, we urge every element in the

our problems in a spirit of tolerance

achieved if all sides will agree to let

"And in the same spirit of toler-

alton of Labor appeals again for labor

as frequently failed, leaving the Am

"Now," he went on, "the integrity of
the movement is again challenged by
handful of over ambitious men, who,

Govt. Employees Open
Important Convention
Atlantic City Meeting Scheduled to
Elect New President and Con-
slider Legislation

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE eighth
convention of the American Fedora
tion of Government Employees, affili-
ated with the American Federation Of
Labor opened here September II with
a full attendance of delegates from
both Washington, D. c., and the field
areas.
The contest for the office of presi-
dent of the Federation became a free
for-all when Col. Charles I. Stengle,
who has held that position for several
years, definitely declared that he was
not candidate for reelection.
In addition to number of demands
to increase the salaries and improve
the work conditions of government
employees, the convention will consider
the proposition of empowering the
Federation's officials to exercise their
discretion with regard to Federal leg
islation instead Of having them con-
trolled by definite mandates of the
convention.
The convention will also discuss a
conflict of jurisdiction which has
arisen between the A. F. G. E. and
the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees over
which organization should organize
employees in the United States En-
ployment Service Offices throughout
the country. 1t is claimed that the
employees are nominally State en-
ployes but that their salaries are
partly paid from funds appropriated
by the Federal Government.

Attempts were made to cultivate
the plant in this country, but they
failed because it was impossible to
compete with the cheap foreign Ia
Dor used in harvesting the flowers.
At the request of the American
manufacturers, therefore, du Pont
chemists undertook research for a
domestic source of supply, of syn
thetic nature. Chemists found the
answer in combination of sub
stances derived from an alcohol
and vegetable oils. Used in flyspray
in combination with pyrethrum, it
increases the killing power of the
spray and substantially reduces the
amount Of pyrethrum needed, re-
placing many times its own weight
of the dried flowers.

line from the mainland to Key

that time. He did not give any
reason for his belief that the
pipe line would be built in the

JaycteS Hear Guy Carleton
At Meeting Held Last NIGHT
SAYS BIC PROBLEM FOR DEVELOPMENT OF
TOURIST BUSINESS is TO GET PEOPLE TO STAY
HERE; COMMITTEES APPOINTED

'Key West should not be COM
peting for the tourist trade, as
such, it should strive to create
sort of colony of retired busi-
ness and professional men,.

Chamber of Commerce held last
evening at Seafood Grill on Du-
val street. Isadore L. Weintraub
presided.
Key Vests big problem is not
getting people to come here but
how to get them to stay here,
stated Mr.. Carleton. He reported
that he had heard many COM
ments on Key West while up
North, some good and some
bad.
He stressed the necessity of
eliminating the incessant honk-
ing of automobile horns and sug-
gested that we abolish the blow
ing of horns altogether as has
been done in most resort cities.
This would be quite an attrac-
ton, the speaker pointed out, as
practically all who would come
to this city for rest and enjoy
ment of those things which we
