called
Spargo Supports Unions
.lohu Spargo. of New York, offered a
resolution proposing that the lonfercnce
indorse the following pi nciplcs
The recognition without qualifies
lion of the right of workers to com
bine into unions and to form commis
sion of unions.
Making it a penal offense for anv
organization or industry to refuse to
hear the claims, demands or com
plaints of organized labor as voiced
by union officials and recommending
that Congress enact laws to make this
principle immediately applicable to
every department of the government,
except the nrmy nnd navy, nnd to
every industrial corporation or con
cern. Providing that any attempt on the
part of nny employer to penalize any
worker for Inwful activity in pro
moting the interests of any union be
made unlawful.
Indorsing the rjght of labor to use
every "peaceful and lawful" means to
promote principles and aims of labor
organizations, including the right to
free assemblages. t,peeeb and publi
cation, subject to necessary restric-
lions in lime ot war or great national
emergency .
Would Guard Vreo Spcedt
Advocating the establishment in
everv state of a special group repre
senting capital, labor and the general
public, to inquire into, charges of
suppression of the rights of free
speech and assemblage and to order
the removal of any prohibition of
these rights -which may have been is
sued without juht cause.
Mr. Spargo's resolution concluded
with the statement that "this conference
believes that every right and safeguard
liorn secured to labor unions should be
V secured to every other lawful orgnima
tion of .workers and also of employ
ers." The resolution was sent U the steer
ing committee of fifteen for action, with
indications that it would cause a bit
ter fight in the committee.
Tho other five resolutions included
one by Louis Titus, of San Trancisco,
laaariding that no strike be called with
out a ote ot all the workers affected;
that all votes involving strikes or walk
outs be taken, by secret ballot and that
tlio Department of Labor bo ghen au
thority by Congress to enforce a fair
count of such votes.
Mould Bar l'uhllc Officials
JCo person engaged in fcdernl. slate
or city service would be permitted to

strike as a means of enforcing demands

troduced by George It. James, of Mem
phis, Ten n.
Charles K. Uussell, of New York,
proposed that wages should automati
cally follow changes In the cost of liv
ing without necessity for strikes or
labor disturbances.
Henry S. Ocunibon, of Vramiogham,
Mass., presented n lesolutlon lerom
nicndlng closer co operation nnd inter
est between managers and workers and
suggested the selection and training of
foremen rod superintendents on the
basis rf nbilil) to lend rather than to

All of the resolutions were referred
without comment to the committee of

There was no Immediate, action on

As for the larinal and extieine ele
ment in the Links of the striking steel
workers, the action will not strengthen
their hands: it is a distinct rebuke.
The geneial result, so far as the pub
lic is concerned, will be to throw the
whole question into the arena for public
information. Discussions on tho icso
lulion will be in the open, though at
the meeting today it looked for a lime

It was suggested that nil resolutions I
aflinnatively 1 ccoinmcndcd by the steer

who would retire and decide what action
would be taken upon them. This would I
leave nothing but the bones of the di

would be carried on in the groups meet

Washington. Oct. II.-If Omgresb
tries to get'nwaj from Washington No
v ember 1. as it hopes to nt present, the
White House will probably csll its at
tention slinrplv to the unfinished busi
ness before it. Tb" l'resident did this
when the House tried to lake a Miration
in August He interfered with that re
cess bv reminding Congress that the cost
of liung problem was pressing.
The admonition this time will prob
ably have to do with railroad legisla
tion. Director Illness letter jeslcrdaj
shows that the administration adheres
to the plan to return the railroads to
their owners at the end of the elr. Air
Hlnes explained that to do so without
legislation would work various hard
ships, ltut the intention of the ad
ministration is to place the respnn
sibilitj for nnj complications that ensue
upon Congrrss.
The l'resident' s messige from Paris,
in Ma.v . told Congress that it was the
plan to irttivn the rmlio.ids nt the end
of the car. f'ongi ess has had file
months in which 'to prnwdc the nei es
sni.i railroad legislation N lull hns
been passed and it is IimiiM.v loiiiedcd
in the .Senate that no legislation Is
likely before next spring.
The present idea ot the House leaders
is to bring up railroad legislation uu
dcr a rulo which will pinko Hh quick
passage possible and push it through
If tho House leaders can secure netiou
ou the railroads nnd the passage of
budget legislation before Not ember 1 the
tentative plan to take a recess nt that
time will probably be carried out, un
less it Is felt to be poor politics to
allow the President to tell the country
how little Congress has accomplished.
The congressmen want to get home.
The want to collect mileage. Hut they
are afraid to go away without making
a show of having done something.
1 louse Itc-idy (o Milrk
If lallroad legislation is passed by
the House, it will be merely for polit
ic nl effect. The 1 louse will merel)
pass n bill and leaic It to the Senate
ill Us leisure to work out the prob
lorn, digest the information thai has
been collected and pirpaic a reasonably
well matured bill.
The Senate would like to get the
trratj out of the win anil return home
next month, but it will hardly venture
I lo do so in view of the admlnistrH
I lion's inteution to turn over the rall-
roads to their owners at the end of the
jenr. It is not clear that the Senate
wilt be able to dispose of the treaty in
I time to get awny nt all ltut the rail
roads will be almost sure lo hold the
I Senate until the nest session begins.
If the House covers up its own in
efficiency by passing a railroad bill the
mere effect of which is lo throw the
whole problem upon the Senate, the
President can still remind the counttC
that Congress has failed to act upon
various other pressing problems to
which he called its attention in his mes
sage of May.
Itesidcs asking for lailioad legislation
the President asked for taxation legis
lation, for labor legislation, for laws to
pi rites t the ilyesttiflH industries of the
I inted States and for legislation i-c
garding the merchant mm inn. None o
these pioblems is as picssing as tin
railroad problem, but when It Is reallred
that any legislation coming out of the
Houso Is not seriously meaut it will be
xecu to what nu extent this Congress
has been a do-nothing congress.
Irritation at Capital Grows
The determination of the administra
tion lo return the rallioails nt the end
of the c;ir without waltlug upon tho
convenience of Congress will Increase
the feeling of irritation iigalnst tho
President at the Capitol. Tho breach
between the executive nnd the Senate
hns been widened bj th cqunrrel over
the treaty nnd the recent weakness of
the senators for spreading back-stairs
stoiles gossip about the Presidents

Why should a school with much to do
Spend time and coin to bend to you

Because their school foresaw its mis

Washington, Oct. II. Policemen in
Washington are to get au inoreac in
pay to meet the high cost of living, lint
tbey are prohibited from belonging to
any organisation which may call a
strike or order a cessation of work. The
House jesterday passed n bill provid
ing a total increase of KM.". 120 in the
salaries of the policemen, with au anti
Ftrikc provision. The lole stood "'J2
to S.
Itepresentativc Gould, chairman of a i
special subcommittee which conducted 1
hearings on which the pioposed in !
creases are based, told the House that
pastage of the measure with the auti
strike ptovision would be a "note of
warning and advice from the Congress
of the I'nited States to state and tnu
nicipil officers throughout the couutrv
w'ho arc faced with the strike menace
and mav not, perhaps, appreciate it
at this time "
"Police unions have beep formed and
affiliated with the American Tedention
of T.ahor in thirty-seven cities of the
United States involving a total popu
latiou of about 1,."44.000 m twentv two
of our fort eight states," said Mr.
Could. "In two of these instances the
movement has failed in Boston after
bloodshed and riot, and in Washington
because the Congress of the baited
States is still great enough even in the
ievv of radical agitators to tcsisl such
an attack upon American institu
tions."

Tartar on Teeth
I
Shows That You Don't Clean Them Note These Facts
Ail Statements Approved by High Denial Authorities
FREE
A Ten-Day Tube pf
Pcpsodent, this week only,
at any store named below.
This is to men and women who find that brushed teeth
discolor and decay. Who find that tartar forms, or pyor
rhea starts. You are not keeping teeth clean. You let a
film remain, and the damage is traced to it.
Dental science has found a way to end film. It is now
embodied in a dainty, tooth paste which millions are em
ploying. We urge you to try it ten days at our cost and
see the results for yourself.
That Film on Teeth
Can Now be Ended in This Way
Look Now
That film, to7 some extent, clouds
nearly every set of teeth. And most
tooth troubles are now traced to it.
You can feel on your teeth a slimy
film, ever - present, ever - forming.
That film is the great tooth wrecker.
Dental science now traces nearly alj
tooth troubles to it.
The film clings to the teeth, gets"
between the teeth, enters crevices
and stays. The tooth brush does
not end it. The ordinary dentifrice
docs not dissolve it. So millions
find that teeth discolor and decay
despite the daily brushing.
Why Teeth Discolor
That film is what discolors not
the teeth. It is the basis of tartar.
It holds food substance which fer
ments and formsacid. It holds the
acid in contactyith the teeth to
cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it.
They, with tartar, arc the chief
cause of pyorrhea.
Dental science, after years of
searching, has found a way to com-'
bat film. Many able authorities have
proved its efficiency. For five years
it has been subjected to every sort
of clinical and laboratory test.
Now, for home use, it is embodied
in a dentifrice called Pepsodent.
Look in 10 Days ..
See how the teth whiten how
they glisten as the fixed film dlsi
appears. Then you will know there
is a way to cleaner, safer teeth.
F tmmmmmmtmmmmmmmm pat. off.

The New-Day Dentifrice
A scicntific'f ilm combatant, certified by high Authorities and
now urged for daily use by leading dentists everywhere.
Leading dchtists all over America
arc now urging its adoption, -This
week wc offer a 10-Day Tube to
anyone who asks. And wc urge
that someone in every home prove
its unique effects.
Based on Pepsin
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the
digestant of albumin. The film is -albuminous
matter. The object of '"
Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to
constantly combat it.
Pepsin long seemed impossible. It
must be activated, and the usual
ageht is an acid harmful to the teeth.
De$al science has now, discovered
a harmless activating method. And
now everyone can fight the film with
active pepsin constantly.
See What It Does
Present the coupon for a 10-Day Tuba,
Use like any tooth paste. Note how
clean the teeth feel after using. Mark
the absence of the slimy film. See how
teeth whiten as tho fixed film disappears.
Watch the results and read the reason
for them. Compare thls new method
with the old. Then adopt for yourself
and have your children adopt the method
which seems best.
This is of lifetime importance to you.
