Omaha this week. According to a short
news story, only three of the 10 COVER
nors in the Missouri Valley attended the
conference. Representatives from the
other seven states were reported to have
been present. All of the actions reported
were that the conference had PASSED a
resolution endorsing the findings Of the
commerce committee of the u. S. senate
which submitted an adverse report
against the proposal for a Missouri Val
ley Authority and another giving the
unified plan of the Reclamation Sery-
ice and Army Engineers for the Missouri
development its blessing.
Governor Ford and some members Of
the Water Conservation Board being
there, no doubt played a leading part in
these proceedings. No doubt the organ
ization has made a full and complete re
port of the proceedings of the meeting to
the National Association Of Electric Com
panies, the superlobby Of private power
utilities in Congress which will find the
report useful, and which with its unlimit-
ed financial resources squeezed from the
patrons Of the companies will no doubt
be willing to finance many further meet
ings of the power company controlled
governors and their appointed stooges.
Before the sweeping investigation OF
private power utilities made by the Fed
eral Power Commission some years ago,
there was an organization called the
National Electric Light Association
which then was the propaganda set-up
for the utilities. Because Of the unsavory
disclosures of its activities made by the
Federal Power Commissions investiga-
ton. the name edison" was substituted
for ''NationaI' but it's propaganda and
tactics was not materially changed.
This new organization is nothing but
the same as former ones, but it appears
probable that because of the threat to the
monopolies Of the utilities in the proposed
river authorities, bigger slush funds will
be available than was the case with pre-
vious organizations Of the anne charac-
ter. And the use made Of these funds
will be along the same lines; corruption
Of officials and the press.
Any governor lending aid and comfort
to this superlobby must have an elastic
conscience, to put it mildly. And Cover
nor Ford is one of them.-People's Voice.

LABOR DAY

Once again the people of the United
States will observe Labor Day on Mon
day, September 3rd. Strange to say, the
first Monday in September of 1884 was on
September Bird also. But that first Labor
Day was not observed until two days
later.
The credit for the institution Of Labor
Day is given to Peter j. Mcclure, presi-
dent of the United Brotherhood Of Car
penters and Joiners of America, who in
PRODUCED the thought in the Central Labor
Union of New York City in 1884. Oregon
was the first state to make labor day a
state holiday. 1t was quickly followed by
nearly all the other states Of the Union,
and in 1894 Congress passed an act estab-
fishing Labor Day as a national holiday
in the District Of Columbia and the ter
ritories of the United States.
It is significant and particularly appro-
pirate that Labor Day should be the first
holiday to be nationally observed after
the close Of the war. Peace and Labor 90
hand in hand. 1t can truthfully be said
that the working people never initiated
any wars and, Notwithstanding the very
noble expressions which have been used
in the past number Of years about democ-
racy and friendship and brotherly love,
the facts still remain that the basic cause
of wars is economic greed for power and
wealth.

that

gram:

to Csc an hour.
%. Effective price control must be
continued TO prevent initiation. NOW,
more than ever, it is essential that
profiteering be curbed. Control on
prices must not be weakened. Dema-

TIGERS BURY FLAG HOPES
 OF NEW YORK
By Jack Hand tAssociated Press Sports Writer,

Detroit power hitting and eff fective pitching is providing a healthy antidote to the night ball crazy majors by attracting week. day crowds of 37,000 to Briggs Stadium where over 800,000 day time customers have spun the turn stiles.
 The me-honored combination of a winning ball club and tight pennant race laugh at such handi- caps as a Monday afternoon after a big Sunday doubleheader. With New York as the attraction, De- troit pulled 37,888 through the gates yesterday to watch the Tigers bury the visitors flag hopes, Is to 4 and 11-9
 Never before had the Tigers un- leashed such power as in then 2o- hit attack on Ernie Bonham and Emerson Roser in the first game rout. Rudy York clubbed homer in each game to help Dizzy Trout to his eleventh decision, and George Caster to his third. Caster. a St. Louis Brownie castoff, stopped the Tanks dead after relieving Al Benton in the fifth frame of the nightcap.
 Al Hollingsworth pushed Wash ;,-r~+a,, t,aol< a,,o+la. f,,Il oo,,aa fo hind the Tigers by hurling the Browns to a Az first game ver- dict. Al Carrasquel evened it up later, 11-3, but the gap had been widened
 Chicago climbed into the first four by shading Philadelphia, 4-3, on Tony Cuccinello's pinch single in the eleventh as Reliefer Johnny Johnson outpointed Fireman Joe Berry.
 Cleveland's Lefty Al Smith shut out Boston with three singles, 10-0, dropping the Red Sox to seventh, lowest they have been since mid May.
 Charley Grimm's Chicago Cubs continued to sweep through the east without trouble, flattening the Phillies, Al, as Paul Derringer hung up win No. 13 at Dick Bar rett's expense.
 St. Louis and Brooklyn carried their second place feud to IS in- nings before the defending world champion Red Birds finally broke it up, lilo, on Ken O'Dea's double off the right field screen.
 Harry Feldmans pitching and Cincinnati's batting has proved to be the most consistent combination in the majors with the New York Giants righthander trimming the Reds five times in succession while copping 10 decisions. Feldman al- lowed seven hits in handing the Reds a tenth straight setback, 20.
 Despite two homers by Jack Bar rett, Pittsburgh fell before Bos- tons l3-hit attack, 6-4, with Nate Andrews taking the verdict over Kenny Gables.

Portland baseball 1ans neaved a sigh of relief today as their first place Beavers pulled within two games of the Pacific Coast League three quarter mark, five tilts ahead of the Seattle Rainiers.
 The Beavers squeezed out a 6-2 victory over the Rainiers last night to wind up their final series with their northwest rivals on the short end of a 5-2 count. The win gave Portland a l5-14 edge over Seattle.
