HEADS LIBRARIANS JAPANESE ARE FLOCKING TO Federal Agents' Report to Secre tary of Labor Wilson Warns Against Large Oriental Inva sion of Sugar and Cotton Lands Washington. "Sept. 4. (U. P.) Warning against an "invasion" of Japanese as proprietors Into the sugar beet growing Industry In Cal ifornia and the Southwest is con tained In a report to Secretary of La bor Wilson by two agents appointed to make a survey of contract labor. The report, written by Commis sioners Grant Hamilton and A. L. Faulkner, reads: "It is exceedingly pertinent ti state that the Japanese are invading the sugar beet Industry not only as laborers, but as proprietors. They are reported to be buying beet land as well as land in the cotton growing sections. "The invasion has not assumed large proportions as yet. but the future may, and probably will, especially If other labor is not available, witness large num bers of the Oriental race In poiiession of a considerable proportion 'of su?ar beet and cotton areas of the coun Hamilton and Faulkner wrote their report after visiting 10 states to investi gate, at the direction of Secretary Wil son, complaints against the special orders allowing temporary Importation of Mexican laborers into border states. The reports state that the Investi gators were unable to find substsntta tion for charges that Meaican labor is not needed because there is a surplus of native labor. Other conclusions are "that no detrimental economic" situa tion is resulting from Importations and Mexican or Japanese workers are needed to perform "squat" labor which native workers refuse to perform. The Investigators presented figures to show that 33,000 Imported Mexican un skilled laborers still are In the country. with 22.000 regularly employed and 11,000 listed as deserters and presumed violators of the clause under which they were to return to their country after concluding their contracts.

IS LABOR QUERY Samuel Gompers, Head of Amer ican Federation, Warns Public Against Dropping New Ideals for Methods of Reactionaries. Ibor day will b celebrated MonrUr. Sasmd Gonipera, one of the foanden of the American Federation of Iabor. and Hi president, sn for a tingle year tnterral ainoe 182, herewith in an article specially prepared for the International New Serrice, tella of Labor's bopea and plana for the future. By Samuel Gompers Washington, Aug. 4. (I. N. S.) The dominant spirit of the age is no longer religious creeds or forms, but industrial relations of social life. 0 Where the former are not in touch with these, they cease calling out our enthusiasm. It Is this new spirit which now controls our thoughts and actions. Because of this new spirit Labor day this year is unusually significant. The spirit that made our war a great crusade and that made of our wpnderful army a Kbskof crusaders sworn to fidel ity to hurrfn rights and human freedom lives in everything that is truly Ameri can and demands expression in the acts of our public representatives, and of our government. SEEK TO CRl SH LABOR In wanton denial of this nobility of thought, the Hessians of greed and plun der' seek to ride down the rights of the people and destroy their '"liberties. The enemies of labor have given to their servants the mandate that labor must be crushed, its rights and liberties denied. The challenge of these forces to the citizenship of the nation Is brasen and blunt. That the right-thinking men and women of our republic can afford to allow this challenge to reap a harvest of political power in the coming election is unthinkable. More than In any political contest since the days of the Civil war the issue la clearly drawn between re faction and progress. So it is that on this Labor day we face grave, complex and' perplexing problems. The masses of the working people of the nation understand the great issues that; face them. The one supreme issue is whether liberty shall live. It is th great, hope of the organised labor movement on this Labor day that the path' of Industrial democracy may be marked by none of the blunders of extremism. Such democracy as we nave yet to attain must be obtained through the institutions of the great and intellt gent measure of democracy that we already enjoy. Any other course would be, fatal to all democracy and -lead us to that unhappy and tragic state of chaos which has brought so much of distress and evil to the people of Russia. V. &. MORE NORMAL THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE WAR Washington, SepL 4. I. N. S.) Labor day will find the United States nearer to normal than at any time since the entrance of this nation into the war, according to government departments to day. The one outstanding labor difficulty before the department of labor is the strike of anthracite coal miners In Penn sylvania, and officials are hopeful that this may be settled noon after Labor day. Reports of the department of con (Uatiort of the labor department indi cate that labor unrest is on the decline. Business statistics gathered by the federal reserve board show industry re turning to a more sound basis, with the speculative period apparently In the past The nation's labor policy is again ap proaching more normal conditions, fed eral reserve board reports show. Hillsboro, Or., Sept. 4. -The J. P. Tamlesle garage, under construction on Main street, collapsed at 10 o'clock Friday night with an esti mated damage of $8000.

' t GARAGE CAVES IN; DAMAGE IS 0 Cast Vot Shot War, Cox By Harry L. Rogers "Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 4. (I N. &) "Either you, Mr. Hays, are a per jurer, or Mr. Upham is a falsifier!" With, this dramatic alternative. Governor James M. Cox, Democratic presidential nominee, brought to a climax in a speech here today, his denunciation of Republican leaders, who, he claims, are. raising a $15, 000.000 "slush fund" with which' to buy the presidency of the United States. CLIMAX IS TERSE The tense moment came at the close of a hypothetical examination. In which the Republican national chair man figuratively sat 1n the prisoner's dock and Governor Cox played the role of prosecuting attorney. "I want to put Will H. Hays on the stand today." the Governor began, "and ask him these questions : " Tou say there was no quota as signed anywhere, and yet In the offi cial bulletin of August 1 telegrams are quoted stating that : " 'Cincinnati business men have un derwritten quota. 'Steubenvllle, Ohio, has nearly com pleted quota. " Toledo actively soliciting to com plete quota by August 15. ' The state of Maine has oversub scribed its. quota $0000. 'Chattanooga oversubscribed Its quota this week. "Large quotas assigned to Twelfth Indiana congressional district. Northern counties in Colorado have practlcaally raised their quotas.' UPHAM CONTRADICTS HAYS Now, coming' more concretely to the question of responsibility, you deny sny knowledge of quotas, and yet Fred H. Upham, treasurer of the Republican national committee, in the official bul letin of August K. says that: 'Amounts sought in each com- munlty' were a part of the 'campaign on general suDscnpuon as originally Initiated by Will H. Hayes and car ried through by the treasurer's office.' If you told the truth on the stand under oath, then Mr. Upham, In his official capacity, misrepresented you. This contradictory circumstance shews that you are either a perjurer or Mr. Upham is a falsifier." The governor paused a moment; then continued with the manner of a Judge pronouncing sentence : "If the latter be true, then it Is your duty to discharge him as treasurer. If you do net -da-aei, then the American poeple can draw their own conclusion." Senator Harding also came la for a grilling at the hands of the Democratic candidate, during .his discussion of the League of Nations.

At the request of commercial bodies in the state, the Washington public serv Ice commisalos baa telegraphed the In terstate commerce commission asking that an embargo be placed on Oriental freight shipments routed' through At lantic porta. ; ROUND-UP TRA N You T eas EhdMl Pleads Declaring It was possible for Harding, as a senator to escape nil quorums and roll calls," Cox said, "but you cannot do it either' aa candidate or a president." and called upon the Republican candi date to explain the meaning of the Utters statement that he "would put teeth" Into The Hague tribunal: "Senator Harding," said the governor, "In your speech of August 21 you 'say, What then becomes 'of the argument that congress, not the president, might keep us out of warT Technically, of course. It could do so. Morally, with an equal certainty, it could not do so, nor would It ever do so. The American peo ple would never permit a repudiation of a debt of honor, as it would appear and would be in such an event before the eyes of the world.' "ANSWER, SENATOR HARDING "Answer to this. Senator Harding, yes or no: Don you mean that you are op posed to our assuming any moral obliga tion In our International relations T Then, in the same speech, you say: 'It is not uncommon for the advocates of the league of Versailles to contrast unfavorably The Hague tribunal, upon the ground that the tribunal lacks teeth. Very well;' let's put teeth Into it.' "Please answer yes or no In the face of this statement to this question,' said Governor Cox. "Does the putting of teeth' Into It mean the assuming- of an obligation to exert moral or. physical force, or bothT In one part of your speech you say that this nation will not be made to appear as a weicner," because no ob ligation will be assumed.- How do you reconcile this with your program of putting teeth" into The Hague tri bunal? This approaches the very crux of the whole argument, and the Ameri can people are entitled to know your mind. There can be no evasion. It was possible in the senate for you to escape 1161 quorums And rol leal Is." but you cannot do It either as candidate or as president. Tou mutt answer yes or no. Executive duties. unlike legls- Istlve. make either absenteeism or clear evasion impossible.' THEODORE ROOSEVELT LAUDED Cox lauded Theodore Roosevelt as one of the original supporters of the League of Nations idea, and quoted from the late president's ' oration before the Nobel peace prise committee In 110 to prove his contention that Roosevelt favored a League of Nations whose members should not only agree to keep the peace themselves, but should also use force to compel other nations to respect Its dictates. En route to Milwaukee the governor spoke from the rear platform at Ken oaha and Racine.;. As the train pulled out of Kenosha he said . "I leave you. with this parting In (ConclMlrd ea, Fas Thna.
