Aug. 22.—The labor provisions of the peace treaty fail to cope with threatening labor evils and point toward a program which may disturb the domestic peace of the United States, Senator Thomas, dem- ocrat, Colovado, declared today in the senate. He expressed grave doubt whether that section of the treaty could be accepted under the constitu- tion. Tmportant Tntegral Part. The international labor conféerence to be set up he declared, would be an important integral part of the league of nations, though the provisions creating it are not included in the league covenant. “In as much as organized labor correctly speaks of itself as a class,” he said, it is entirely apparent to say that by including this program in the treaty distinct recognition and separate organization are given to a class. To enthrone a class whether by revolution or by treaty is but to estrange other classes. Gonl of Uniformity. “It may bhe possible to reach the goal of uniformity in the conditions of labor but T question whether it can be done otherwise than by making the standard the lowest, and levelling down to it. Strict uniformity in world labor conditions can be attained j only at the expense of the American wage earner. I cannot avoid the question that these articles designed for his physical and spiritual im- provement may make him the equiva- lent of the continental wage earner.” Referring to the provision that the credentials of delegates to the inter- national conferences may be passed on by the conference itself, he con- tinued: Not in Favor of Covenant. “Personally 1 do not like the covenant which subjects the selection of high officials by the government of th United States for the discharge of important international functions to review and possible rejection by an external authority. The treaty thus makes the conference a substitute for or supplement to the president and the senate. Extension of Power. “For some time I entertained a doubt whether article 405 did not in- vest this conference with a species of legislative or treaty making power. And proposals for the extension of this power 11 probably soon follow the establishment of the permanent organization if I correctly apprehend the purport of the official introduc- tion. “I do not look for the early advent of the stupendous upheaval which must come to the structure of the American government before it can constitutionally assent to such a dele- gation of power but I can well ima- gine how efforts to secure it would profoundly disturb our domestiec peace; for the labor program points that way.” He also said he could not avoid the conclusion that certain judicial rights vested by the constitution in Ameri- can courts would be delegated to the tribunals set up by the labor section. Paints Gloomy Picture. Painting a gloomy picture of labor conditions in this country and declar- ing that organized labor was employ- ing methods which threaten the na- tion's political and social existence, he declared these were the real mat- ters that should concern legislators. “Yet here are conditions,” he con- tinued, “which the labor section of the treaty neither provides against nor catalogues among those requiring correction by international covenant.” MEXICAN BANK ESTABLISHED. Mexico City, Aug. 22.—A Spanish- Mexican bank with a subscribed capi- tal of ten million pesos and headquar- ters in Mexico City is planned by members of the Spanish colony here. The purpose of the institution is to aid in the development of Mexican resources and to increase commercial activity between this country and Spain. Representatives of the bank will have offices in Havana, New York and eral European cities GOV, ROAD GONTROL AN AUTOCRATIC STEP, +S0 Declares Myron T. Herrick in Published Statement Cleveland, Ohio, T. Herrick of Aug. 22.—Myron member of The Bxecutive Committes of the Na- tional Associationof Owners of Rail- road Securities, declared in a state- that “the turning over of the vast systems of railroad lines to the control of the government, this city, ment today and through the government to the control of organized labor, would be & long step toward the establishment in this country of an autocratic pow- er that would imperil the liberties of the American people.” Mr. Herrick, who was formerly governor of Ohio and American am- bassador to France, is a banker, di- rector of the Erie railroad and of the New York Life Insurance com- pany. Mr. Herrick asserted in his state- ment that “the experience of the last two vears with the railroads, as with the telegraph and telephone lines is ample proof that there is neither ef- ficiency nor economy in government control. He said that such control and operation would defeat the purpose for which the railroad brotherhoods were established and that it would involve a huge addition to the pub- lic debt as the value of the railroads was estimated at $17,000,000,000. Referring to the agitation by rail- road employes through the officer of their organizations in favor of gov- ernment ownership of the roads, Mr. Herrick said: “This propaganda vorably received by the people of this country who, as always, must pay the bill. The deficit incurred in less than two vears of federal oper- ation is already more than $500,- 000,000 and is mounting at the rate of $2,000,000 a day in spite of sharp increases in freight and passenger rates. Directly or indirectly, in taxes, freight charge and increase in the cost of goods the burden of ‘that deficit falls on the people and contributes in tremendous measure to the op- pressively high cost of living. In the face of that showing who could con- | scientiously wish to perpetuate gov- ernmental control of the railroads? “I cannot believe the brotherhoods have thoroughly considered the con- sequences that would follow govern- ment ownership or that they have prepared to exercise this great power. Their present propaganda is wholly at variance with the character of their organizations and with their long and honorable histor To add the cost of the railroads to the government debt, Mr. Herrick said, ‘‘would weaken the government borrowing power, depreciate further government securities and increase the rate at which the government can will not be fa- passed,” ernment a practical plan for management of our great vehicles of commerce giving men of and vision borrow. He pointed out that the war had added $20,000,000,000 to the pub- lic debt in two year and that the an- nual interest charge alone is now al- most equual to the whole annual ex- pense of the national government be- fore the war. “To buy the railroads and double the national debt would be exceedingly unwise,” said Mr. Her- rick. “Tt would simply multiply the principal and interest which the people must pay. “Uncertainty in business will not cease until the railroad problem is solved,” asserted Mr. Herrick. “Every delay means tremendous loss to the country. All the billions of wealth owned by the people of the United States are to go forward or back- ward, dependent upon the legisla- tion which is just ahead. A mistake will threaten the whole finamcial structure. Mr. Herrick said that he believed the best plan yet presented for solv- ing the railroad question was that presented to congress by the Nation- al Association of Owners of Railroad Securities. This plan, he said, pro- vides for a fixed percentage return to the roads and that where a road makes a profit in excess of § per cent the excess shall be divided between the government, the employes and the railroad. In his opinion this plan protected all interests—the public, the shippers, employes, and owners. “The time for experiments has OPEN to the PUBLIC Elk’ Elks’ Home, Washington St. Grill SPECIAL $1.50 Sunday Dinner HEARTS OF CELERY CONSOMME RACHED MEDAILLON OF ROAST STUFFED YOUNG MASHED TURNIPS MACEDOT VANILLA ICE CREAM NABISCOES DEMI-TASS ' SALMON, CRANBURY MASHED QUEEN OLIVES CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP VICTOR HUGO SAUCE VERMONT TURKEY POTATOES GREEN PEAS b ALAD ( abilities. unthinkabl Vancouver, government has placed an order here purpos shippe route A.

No doubt the size and char- acter of our stock has much to do with the big volume of August trade with which the public is favoring us. For it’s unusual for even us to show such attractive stocks at this time of the year—all new goods, too; not things that have been here since spring. Verily, business is always good for those who have good merchandise to sell, especially when they sell it as we do—on a small margin of profit. “OLD HOME PAIR.
