Bevan, leader of the party, a bum chock for Injuries sustained to the Medford car after he had bumped Into It. Local folks familiar with Mr. Ilevan's Ford wonder bow It could pos sibly have been injured more than couple of dollars worth no mutter how bad the accident. He that as It may the Medford party wired homo for money to keep them alive until after the court trial, and won't appear here abouts for about a week. . In the party are Mr. and Mis. lievan, Misses Natalie and Ruth Hamilton und James Campbell, sometimes culled Jlmmle.

When the bump came the former Canadian war veteran "went over the top (or the first time since early in the world war and bawled the orrendlng driver out so vigorously In Princess Pat regiment style, that the latter warmly apologized and further, at odcq drew a liberal check lu payment for damages inflicted on the Medford car. This check wus soon afterward found to be worthless, and resulted in Arthur and Jlmmle, aided by the oth ers causing- the villain's arrest. There are often vexatious delays in courts, and the Medford party can not sturt for home until the case is disposed of. They were running out of funds, hence the passionate pleas wired home for flnnncial aid. ' This appeal hud a tremendous effect on the local Cullfor- nia-Oregon Power company's staff touched 'heir hearts so much that they 6outrlbuisd to a fund to send a tele gram of condolence and good advice.

The attor- Kketcli of (2otiiKrs. UENVKIt, June 25. The history of Samuel (lompers is' largely the his tory of organized labor. Since 18S1, with the exception of one term, be bus been president of the American federation or Intior, which he was largely instrumental in organizing. Friends of the veteran labor leader say lie is the most active man in the United States, despite his 71 years, Ife traveled an average of 100 miles a day during J 920, one trip being made by airplane to keep an engage ment. Hardly a meal is eaten with out a conference going of, simultan eously and at times he lias dictated statements as he ate. During the pnst year he hns writ ten four books and fifty pamphlets. Another b6ok is in the hands of his publishers. . Throughout the war ho was active in preventing strikes and assuring lu bor co-operation in war work. Twice lie visited Kurope, making'speeches in behalf of the war and participntaing in the peace conference. '. Tho slogan, "no peace without victory," is credit ed to Mr. Clompers. Ho was chair man of the labor commission of the national council of defense during the war, president of tlie American alli ance for labor and democracy and chairman of the commission on inter national labor at the peace confer ence. t ' Mnrrietl in April. In nddition to his administrative work as president, Mr. ompers edits the American Federationist, a month ly publication, directs labor's efforts to obtain favorable legislation at Washington and keeps in touch with labor activities throughout the coun try. With the exception of this year and in 1.H94, when John Mellrlde, a mine worker, was elected president, Mr. (lumpers lias had virtually no opposi tion for re-election. He married Sophia Julian of New York early in life. After her death he married' Mrs. Gertrude Cleaves Neuschler of Zunesville, Ohio, In April of this yea Born in England, Mr. Oompers came to America when 13 years old. Working as a cigar maker, he organ ized an international cigar makers union in 1S64 and was secretary and president for six years. It wns in connection -with this work that he became interested in the larger movement which resulted in organization of the federation. Gompert Nominated The first name submitted as a candi date for the presidency was that of President Samuel Gompers, who wa nominated in an eulogizing speech by George Perkins of Chicago, presideuv of the cigar makers' union. A demonstration of several minutes greeted the announcement of Mr. Oompers' name by Mr. Perkins at the close of his address. A number of delegates jumped to their feet and cheered but scores of others remained quietly in their seats,' averting a stam pede in behalf of the veteran labor leader. Mr. Perkins commended the veteran labor leader as a man "with wonderful Intuition, wonderful faith, of match less knowledge, fearless couragc.'who took a rope of sand and made It the strongest nnd most formidable econo mic movement in the entire world. "Under his fearless leadership you have no cause for fear from the open shop movement and other hostile drives," declared the speaker, adding: "No man' in the United States i is more lied about and abused than the president of the American Federation of Labor. Why? Because this man has accomplished something. He has shown Incomparable and wonderful ability and constructive force." Perkins declared that Mr. Gompers was physically able to perform his duties despite reports to the contrary. In closing he submitted Mr. Gom pers' name as that of '"successful nnd fearless leader." f John L. Lewis Nominated When William Green, secretary of the United States Mine Workers mounted the platform to nominate John L. Lewis, he was given an enthu siastic ovation. ' "Under tho splendid leadership of this great leader," Mr. Green declared, "his organization had made wonderful progress that siieaks for Itself. "Through the present Industrial de pression, under his leadership, the United Mine Workers has retained its wage scale and no recession made." Defending the action of the miners' chief in "bowing to the government," in the coal mine strike of 1919, Mr. Green declared that Lewis had shown "courage, wisdom and judgment in meeting this crisis. "If we had opposed the government, the government would have run over our union and instead of being here todav as proud delegates there would only be a remnant of our organization left. "It requires more moral courage to meet such a crisis, and make a decis ion though the heart rebels against the force that carries you on. "I submit to you the name of a can didate you know him and his pecu liar qualifications, a man who has been tried and never found wanting," said Mr. Green, formally placing Mr. Lewis' name in nomination. He was mildly greeted as he left the platform. SPECIALS Vest! $2.98 . Bloomers $3.80 COMING TOMORROW TOM MIX In hit iniHit thrilling; picture "HANDS OFF" RIALTO LEAVING TONIGHT WM. S.
