Canal Zone Foreign Labor
Protested in Louisiana

By the Associated Press.
BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. 4.-The
State employment security admin
istrator, P. J. Charlet, charged to-
day that foreigners were being i'm
ported for defense work in the
Canal Zone to fill jobs which south
ern workmen were eager to obtain.
His statement followed closely
Gov. Sam Jones injunction to the
Louisiana congressional delegation
to vote against any measures de-
signed to reduce w. P. A. work on
the theory that defense employ
ment would take up the slack.
Mr. Charlet said he had written
Martin F. Carpenter, chief Of the
United States Employment Service,
that he was informed contractors in
the Canal Zone were importing
workers from British Jamaica.
IN view of the fact that the
Panama Canal Zone lies within
United States jurisdiction" he said,
"it is felt that immediate steps
should be taken to see that workers
from the United States are given
preference over foreign laborers.
This is especially applicable to
workers from the Southern States
because of the similarity of the
climate"
Mr.. Charlet said that while New
Orleans is one of the three desig-
mated embarcation points for labor
ers from all parts of the country
bound for the Canal Zone. only
about $50 had cleared there up to
mid-December.

Recover Property

terms a racket" in the handling

time ago were found later in a
secondhand shop.
Broker Refused to Yield.
The proprietor, said Mr., D'Alesan-
dro, told the contractor he had
bought the tools and refused to
surrender them unless Mr. Massino
would pay for them. When the
contractor appealed to the police
he was told that they could do
nothing about it.
1T looks like a racket to me-" said
MI. D'Alesandro. and I will do al
I can to break it up. If any legis-
lation is needed, I feel confident that
can put the measure through
Congress for the relief of District
people
Plans to Consult Curran.
He said he intended to consult
with District Attorney Curran tc
see what should be done.
Mr.. D'Alesandro said Maj. Ernest
w. Brown, superintendent of metro
politan police. had promised 20 ir-
veStigate the case of Mr.. MaSSino.
Mr.. Curran, it was learned, has
laid before the District Commits
sioners and Maj. Brown conditions

erty which had come to his atten-
ton.

BOB SECREST APPOINTS BOB
FINLEY TO ANNAPOLIS

Congressman Bob SecreSt has ap-
pointed Robert Naylor Finley, of
Malta, to the U. s. naval academy at
Annapolis, Md. Mr.. Finley enlisted
in the U. S. navy several months
ago, and has been located at San
Diego, Calf. He is the only son Of
Raymond and Jean Naylor Finley,
and is a grandson of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Finley of this place, and DR..
and Mrs. J. B. Naylor, of Malta.
Young Finley graduated with
high honors from NJ. & M. high
school in the class of 1899. The last
young man from this county to re-
ceive the appointment to Annapolis
was Ronald Burcher of Pennsville,
new deceased.
Congressman Secrest has also
nominated Robert Vincent Ridenour
Of Belpre, o., to the U. S. military
academy at West Point, N. Y. He
was high in the examination and is
a student at the University of Notre
Dame.
In spite of the fact that nearly
half the boys appointed to the two
service academies fail before they
complete their courses, Congress-
man Secrest has not had boy to
fail, although he has appointed
over 20 in the past nine years. This
is due to the fact he always selects
them because of their grades, and
not because of their politics.
Following Congressman Secrest's
nomination for appointment of Rob
ert Finley, Mr.. Secrest wrote DR..
James Ball Naylor as follows:
DR.. James Ball Naylor,
Malta, Ohio.
Dear Doctor:-During my first
year in high school, l read your
books, Ralph Marlowe and In The
Days of st. Clair. They made an
impression upon me that l shall
never forget.
After l entered politics, it was
with a special delight that 1 met
Ernie Schneider, who l had under
stood to be the basis for one of the
characters in Ralph Marlowe. I
knew him intimately for several
years and noticed that he was never
without the flower on the lapel Of
his coat, worn l was told in honor
of his mother.
Before / ran for congress-, and
while / was superintendent of
schools at Murray City, l stopped at
your home to meet you. My oldest
daughter, who is now II years old,
was just baby. You autographed
a collection of your poems which
had been published. l am sure she
will appreciate and cherish this
volume when she is little older.
On September 10, 1910, l receiv-
ed a six line poem from you entitled
Real Americanism. / closed my
speech with his poem at the Union
vile homecoming in Morgan county
a few weeks later.
l am now most happy to inform
you that your grandson, Robert
Naylor Finley, has been nominated
by me for appointment to the Unit
ed States Naval Academy at An
napolis. He did fine in the competi-
tive examination and / am sure will
have a long, useful, and successful
career as an officer in the United
States navy after his graduation.
With every good wish for your
continued health, l am sincerely
yours, Bob Secrest.

CHRISTMAS PARADE ENJOYED
BY LARGE CROWD

The grand Christmas parade here
last Saturday afternoon was every
thing that the name grand" i'm
plies,~Ahd it was witnessed by sew
eraI Thousand people. The parade,
which assembled at the Malta school
building, marched to the common
and down Union street to South
Kennebec avenue, and thence to the
public square. The Philo band led

the parade marched through the
lower hall of the court house, each
receiving generous treat of candy.
More than 1900 children were
"candied'
With the young people of the var

and the beautiful street decorations
of colored plaques above which were
"V" decorations in evergreen, the

holiday dress of the business places
in the Twin Cities in general, it all
presented a beautiful holiday ap-

bands and made the occasion all the
more enjoyable.
