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

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.

11,000 listed as deserters and presumed
violators of the clause under which they
were to return to their country after

elng a land plane of the Oregon,
Washington & Idaho Airplane com
pany that is going to Pacific City
for the Labor day celebration.
Pilot Fred DuPuy, in a speedy Ori
ole plane, accompanied by a mechanic.
was assigned to leave Lewis and Clark
field about 1 o'clock Saturday after
noon and head straight west over the
Coast range of mountains for Tilla
mook. He hoped to accomplish the
flight in less than an hour.
The Journal's agent will be awaiting

and will not follow the watercourses.
DuPuy will , also drop advertisements
along the way telling of the three-day
celebration af Pacific City. He will
land on the beach there and remain
unlil Tuesday, giving exhibition flights
and carrying passengers.
In The Journal's seaplane service to
the coast Friday, Pilot Jack Clemence
flew to Seaside In 1 hour and . 40
minutes, including the stop at Astoria,
equaling any time previously made In
the beach flights this summer. DuPuy
was handicapped by the low-hanging
fog below Astoria, which forced him
to fly at less than 30fi feet over the
water and to follow the Columbia out
to its mouth instead of going south
west across the neck of land from
Youngs bay, by which The Journal's
flyers have been cutting off miles in
their dally trips.
Clemence left Lewis and Clark field
landing basin at 1 o'clock, reaching
Astoria at 2 25 and Seaside at .- 2 :40.

be carried back to Portland as a pas
senger by another F-boat piloted by
L. M. Briggs, who 1s The Journal's
aerial messenger for Saturday afternoon.

150 collieries are idle today and about
137,000 men in idleness. The tleup will

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.

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.

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.

Declaring It was possible for Harding,

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.

an argument In which Bruno accused '
Troy of over-friendliness with Bruno's
