FOLLOWING UP
Oar last Advertisement, we are glad to state, that no one claimed
the reward, for two reasons;
1 he first reason is that we are $1000.00 to the good.
The second reason is that we have demonstrated to the
public the unreliability of rumors, and we are sorry to say that
owing to the same persistent and pernicious agitation many of
our eitv.ens are placing confidence in such malicious rumors
which are intended to injureN'ome for some hidden purpose.

POLET STORES
HUGE PARADE FOR
CHICAGO LADOR DAY
CHICAGO,—For the first time in
thirteen years, this city will hold a
huge labor parade on Labor day.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
unionists will be in line, representing
every organization in Chicago.
The State Federation of Labor has
the whole celebration under its di
rection and it is going to be the sup
remest effort in the way of a labor
demonstration ever held in this great
city.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Every
thing points to the probability of the
Independence Day record being
smashed by the ship launching which
will take place on Monday, labor day
when the tonnage and number of ships
to hit the water will exceed that of
July 4 by a considerable number.
Over a hundred ships were launch
ed last July 4, but this is to be ex
ceeded on Labor Day.
NEW YORK,—Preparations for
the celebration of labor day are many
and elaobrate not only in this city but
all over the nation.
These celebrations will be in the
nature of unionist demonstrations cal
culated to reveal the enormous growth
in organized labor during the past
five years.
This city will not be second to any
other in the nature of its parade and
demonstration.
GENERAL PROHIBITION *
WINS DRIVE TOO
WASHINGTON—Thursday after
noon the Senate by a rider to the
Emergency Food Bill passed a pro
hibition clause which makes the en
tire United States and territories
bone dry after July 1 1919. Under
this law the production of any form
of liquor from grain is prohibited.
Stocks on hand not disposed of how
ever may be exported, and production
of alcoholic liquors from other than
food products for export only will
be permitted subject to very stringent
regulations.
The law will pass both houses and
will undoubtedly be signed by the
president when it reaches him.
Prohibitionists are not quite satis
fied on the subject. While some ap
prove and support the act, others
think that it will be utilized to nullity
the ratification of the prohibition
amendment which still lacks a large
number of stales to become incorpor
ated in the constitution after formal
resolution by congress. Moreover, it
is pointed out that this is a war meas
ure solely and as such subject to re
peal after the conclusion of peace.
On the other hand leading drys con
tend that once prohibition becomes
established even under this present
law, it will never be touched again
by Congress as the people will insist
upon its remaining the law of the
land.
HAYWOOD GETS LIMIT
FROM JUDGE LANDIS
CHICAGO,—The severest sentence
meted out to any individual under the
espionage law was given William D.
Haywood and fourteen other leaders
of the Industrial Workers of the
World, who under the conviction re
cently returned against them were
given twenty years in the penitentiary
and fined in addition $20,000. In
addition to these the rest of the con
victed men were given sentences all
the way from fourteen to one year
under the law.
The case will be appealed, accord
ing to the statement of counsel for the
defendants.
The authorities expect that this will
end the industrialist agitation, altho
there are many who believe that it
will have just the reverse effect.
SECRETARY N’ADOO SPEAKS
FAVOR OF INSURANCE
SAN FRANCISCO—Workmen’s
compensation, together with the sol
diers and sailors insurance act, have
paved the way for universal work
men’s health insurance, which may be
the next step in the United States
along the line of social progress, ac
cording to Secretary of the Treasury
William G. McAdoo, director general
of railroads, in a statement made pub
lic following his recent conference
with members of the California health
insurance commission and represen
tatives of organized labor.
“In my opinion, there is no doubt
about the principle of social insur
ance,” declared Secretary McAdoo.
“We have substituted the justice of
insurance for the charity of pensions
in the army and we shall undoubtedly
come to a consideration of the whole
field of social problems to which the
principle of insurance can be applied.
“Workmen’s compensation has al
ready prepared the way,” he added,
“and this gigantic undertaking of the
government for the protection of the
soldiers and sailors and their depend
ents by insurance instead of pensions,
is likely to lead us to a consideration
of all the possibilities in social n
surance as a means of protecting our
workers.
“Insurance against sickness, old
age and unemployment, as they have
it in England and other European
countries, may be the next social
step for the United States.”
LONDON REPORTS REVEAL A
CONTINUOUS GAIN FRIDAY
LONDON,—The British troops on
Friday made great headway, fighting
all the way, in an advance that bore
down all opposition.
The British crossed the Somme line
which now extends from Clery Sur
Somme to Maurepas, east of Combles
to Moreuil and to west of Reincourt
le Bapaume.
West of the latter they have estab
lished positions north and south of
Peronne, with the Germans in the in
termediate territory striving desper
ately to extricate an unimpaired army
whose morale appears to be consid
erably affected by the severe thrash
ing which the British troops are con
tinuously administering.
Time and time again hand to hand
clashes have ended in a German rout
with British cavalrymen attacking
the withdrawing legions of the Kaiser
when opportunity offered.
PARIS,—The official report gives
great credit to the American artillery
for their efficient work in destroying
Juvigny and making possible the ad
vance of the French troops under
Mangin on both flanks of the enemy
northeast of Soissons.
LONDON,—Thursday evening saw
the British advance reach four miles
beyond Bapaume. A heavy German
artillery fire was planted somewhat
aimlessly but as a protecting wall be
tween the German retreating forces
and the British following them up.
This ceased later on as the Germans
evidently pulled back their guns
when the troops reached the artillery
sites. The situation improves along
the British front steadily. Friday
evening the Germans had retreated
from their favored positions at Bail
leul.

RAILROAD WORKERS FAIL
TO CALL FOR CHECKS
ANCHORAGE,—-Pay checks, totall
ing in amount $350.83 and issued by
the Alaskan Engineering Commission
in 1917 to former employees, are
held in the Anchorage disbursing office
awaiting claimants, The checks
range in individual sums from 1 cent
to $78.
Repeatedly since 1917, the com
mission has published the dates and
amounts of the checks and the names
of the payees, who number fifty, and
now it announces that unless they call
at the disbursing office within the
next few weeks the checks will be
sent to the United States treasurer at
Washington city. Once there con
siderable time and routing proceed
ings will be required to obtain them.
It seems quite certain that all the
payees have long since left the An
chorage district, and probably Alas
ka territory. Most of them, as is in
dicated by their names, are men of
foreign birth. Nearly all worked as
grade laborers on the route of the
government railroad.
What puzzles the commission offi
cials is that any employee should
leave the country without calling for
wages due him. No delay or diffi
culty ned be experienced in the matter
of drawing wages. They are paid at
once upon the presentation of the
boss or timekeeper’s slip, which may
be obtained by the laborer for the
asking.
MANY MISSING FROM
WIV'EREI) FREIGHTER
WASHINGTON—The Navy De
partment announces that two marines
of the naval guard on the American
freighter Joseph Cudahy are missing
and sixty-two of the crew are also in
the list of those not accounted for.
The Joseph Cudahy w'as divered off
the coast of England on August 17. It
is possible that some of the missing
men may have been picked up and
that they may be accounted for. but
this is extremely doubtful.
