and it would be many a long
day before he got out.
1t is the people who pay these
longshoremen, and if the people
decide their hired men are not
suitable, those men will be fired.
That is. that's the theory. In
fact, they have formed unions
against the people and it is about
time that the matter was settled
as to whether the people by their
government. will rule these
strikers, or whether the strikers
will rule the people.
In order proper respect might
be shown the one who pays
these, it might be well to tell
them of New Orleans in 1861,
where Secessionists kept haul
ing down the flag. In response,
Lincoln's government wired, IF
any man hauls down the Ameri-
can flag, shoot him on the spot"
Labor unionists are not the
only people in this country. They
act as though they thought they
were. II anyone needs taking
down it is they. They receive
much larger wages now than
millions of the people who nav
them, but they want still more.
Every candidate for office is
afraid Of them. When that is
so, it is high time the nation
assert itself.

HOROSCOPE
Friday, September Is

Adverse planetary aspects are
active on this Friday the thir-
teenth when caution should
guide men and women. The
judgment may be untrustworthy
and signing OF contracts or
legal papers should be avoided.
HEART AND HOME: This is
not a fortunate date for start
ing any important activity. So
cial affairs may be disappoint-
ing. Girls will be wise to attend
to unimportant matters. 1t is
not a lucky day for making new
acquaintances or starting col
lege connections. The aged may
be restless and disconnected.
Members of the family should
cultivate an optimistic philoso-
ply, for there are financial
breakers ahead.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Ten
dency toward race consciousness
should be curbed at this time
when affairs in Asia will COM
mand special attention Ameri-
can impulsiveness in reaching
decisions and expressing opin-
ions should be curbed. Poliu-
cal slogans will become boone
rangs as world affairs change
the points of view of many vot-
ers. Although there will be much
talk of the disappearance OF
party lines in the national cleo
ton the count will reveal that
party loyalty rules.
INTER MA TIoN Az
FAIRS: Japan will pursue sec
ret plans affecting commerce.
Ambitions Of expansion VIII
continue to rule. The United
States navy will be active In
guarding our interests in places
where untowand incidents re-
quire more than the customary
oriental apologies. internal trou-
bles will affect the Mikado's
empire where far-seeing states
men win clash with military
leaders. Hawaii win be much IN
the public eye.
Persons whose birthdste II
Is have the augury Of a year OF
tempting opportunities 10 ad-
vance in business. Generous con-
tributions 10 public service are
urged.
Children born on this day
probably will b. fortunate in
their possession Of many talents.
They should be taught 10 make
the most Of their mental en-
dowment

James A. Farley will lend as

Jim still retains his office as
New York state chairman. His
suite in the Biltmore hotel is
only one floor below National
Chairman F1ynn's headquarters;

Roosevelt voiced his fears sew

The archbishop, Roosevelt told
the congressman, had Just re-
turned from a tour of his dis

warned the president that UNI

This latest was a gift of two

Also there was important
news from the waterfront-an-

ship, Leland Brothers, largest
iron vessel ever to com. to Ia

wheat after taking a cargo Of
camel coal from Dundee, Scot

An oldish looking man with
grayish looking whiskers and
moustache was driving down
Pacific ave. yesterday after
noon on a two-wheeled wood
wagon. He had q double bar
relied gun tucked under his
arm with the stock resting on
the bottom of the wagon.
At the corner of Eleventh
st. the gun dropped through
the wagon and in doing so
turned end for end, the ham,
mers Of both barrels catching
on a scrap Of iron, raising
them just enough to explode
both barrels.
There was large crowd In
the vicinity at the time, and
luckily the charge Of buckshot
went into four-inch plank In
which hole as big rs q mans
two fists was torn. The gunner
recovered his gun quickly and
drove off, followed q moment
later by a policeman who fail
ed to overtake him because he
did not have his bicycle. Had
the gun been exploded while
falling, several persons think
they would have been killed.
And here's a bit of financial
news that made the Troop B

Ezra Meeker announced the
sale of his interest in the Puy-

for $4,000. A new company
was to be organized for the de-
velopment of water sources in
