Show m mm LABORS OWN DAY AS TO SHANTUNG First Monday in September Is Legal Holiday in Almost American Federation of held an annual convention at Columbus. O . December 1886. At this session ihe officers reported the following: At the fourth session of the federation a resolution was adopted making the first Monday in September of each year labor's national holiday and recommending its observance by wageworkers generally throughout the country. This met with response that exceeded the most sanguine expectations. In our great manufacturing and centers thousands of distributing workingmen marched In procession and participated In the festivities of the picnic grounds, where the most skilled mechanics and workers In professions and laborers united In a common celebration, exchanging friendly fraternal greetings while they listened to the champions of labor discussing the economic and political questions of the day. The good effects of this are so well understood that we recommend its more general observance still until It shall be as uncommon for man to work on that day as on Independence day." Nearly all of the states in the Union now have statutes making the first Monday In September a legal holiday, thus observing Labor day. In order that there be no misunderstanding with reference to the action of congress In enacting legislation upon ibis subject it Is well to state that the law passed by congress June 28, 1894, described above, as making Labor day a national holiday only provided that Labor day should be observed In the District of Columbia, as well as the then territories. Labor day was established In the various states and In the order and on the dates named below : 1887, February 21, Oregon; 1887, March 15, Colorado; 1887, April 8, New Jersey ; 1887, May 6.

Has Gone, Ho Saya in Note to the Public. Washington The Shantung decision of the 1arls peace conference was reversed by the senate foreign relations committee on August 23. By a vote of $) to 8, the committee decided to amend the treaty to provide for the restoration of Shantung to China. The chunge made was extremely simple; it merely strikes out the word Japan ami substitutes the word China in the section which disposes of Germany's former rights in the Shantung peninsula. Senutor McCumber, North Dukota, Republican, voted with the Democrats against the Shantung uinendment. tuber wise, the vote wus of a strict party nature. Action Presages Further Delay. Tlie effect of the connuittes action, if sustained by the senate, will be to send tlie peace treaty back to the other principal allied powers. As Japan, according to Pnddent Wilson, refused to sign the treaty unless given Shantung, and as France, Great Britain and Ituiy are bound by their secret treaties to support the Japnnese claims to Shantung, it is considered extremely probable that the amendment, if sustained In the senate, would creute a deadlock among the powers. Says Senate Will Reverse Action. Senutor 1omerene of Ohio, Democratic member of tlie foreign relations committee, declared the commit tee's action hud no significance anil predicted the senute would reverse it. Senator Johnson of California, Republican, praised the action of the committee In wiping out the proposal to guarantee the infamy of the Shun-tunsettlement by our treasury and by our blood. g HUN PLAN TO INVADE U.

Postponement of tlie settlement of wage demands until normal conditions are restored was announced on Monday by President Wilson us the policy which the administration will pursue In dealing with such questions, particularly those affecting railroad workers. The president announced ulso thut it wus neither wise nor feasible at this time, when tlie most Important question before the country is a return to normal price level, to Httempt to Increase freight rates to provide funds for higher wuges. We ought to post pone questions of this sort until we liuve the opiwrtunity for certain calculation as to the relations between wages and the cost of tlie president declared In a living, statement to the public explaining his decision us to wuges. It is the duty of every citizen to insist upon a truce in such contests until intelligent settlements cun lie made, and made by peace and effective common counsel.

Mr. Wilson's statement wits Issued Iu connection with tlie decision of himself und Director General Hines on demands by railroad shopmen for a r cent advance hi wuges, but the general policy announml covers alsc tlie wage demands of other hundred of thousands of railroad workers which are pending before tlie directoi general or about to be presented. It is to be expected that other union trying to obtain more pay will b asked, ns the shopmen, to play their part witli other citizens in reducing tlie cost of living by foregoing a temporary advantage which would add to transjiortiition costs. The decision of the president and tlie director general was announced to a committee of 100, representing the shopmen. In reply to their demands for a 25 per cent increase, tlie shopmen were asked to accept an adjustment of their pay to tlie luisis of ten hours' pay for eight hours work, which they contended was given to other employees and denied them when tlie Adamson law became effective. Tlds means an advance of the basic pay from OS cents to 72 cents nn hour, whereas nn increase of 17 cents to 85 cents un hour was demanded. 25-pe- Plot of Extensive Nature in Mexico Made Public by Officer.

Crystal gazing and the use of inaglc mirrors played an Important part in religion und wizardry In the pust, and though almost every nation had its own method these did not vury as much as it would he supposed. Thus while Jupun laid in her inner temples mirrors which only tin priest saw, and which were always to reflect the good and tlie beautiful fur the gods, the ancient Mexicans taught that their god Texcatlipuco had a magic mirror In which he saw everything thut happened each day in the world. A real obsidian mirror with its strange textile string still attached is iu the British museum now and was used by the Aztecs and ancient Mexicans for various purposes and very probably for crystal gazing. It is much the same ns the other crystals used by wizards, so far aa Its shape is concerned.
