iJULY 4 STRIKE VOTED AGAINST BY U,S. LABOR A. F. L. Opposes Mooney Strike - Refuses to Urge Recognition of Soviet. 'By Associated Pressl ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. June 18.

Amid general uproar, delegates attending the convention here of the Amert con Federation of Labor refused to indorse recognition of soviet Russia, although urging recognition by United States of the "existing Irish republic."and voted against the general strikes proposed for July 4 in behalf of Thomas G. Mooney, convicted in connection with the Preparedness day bomb explosion in San Francisco. Discussion of Bolshevism developed when the. resolutions committee reported a resolution asking withdrawal from Russia of American BOldiers, but refused to report others demanding recognition of soviet Russia and lifting of. the blockade of Russian ports. The committee refused to indorse recognition of the "soviet or any other form of government in Russia until the people of that country by constituent or other form of national assembly, shall have established a truly democratic form of government." Gompers Leads Fight. The debate was said by veteran labX or leaders to have been the most bitter they ever heard. It followed rejection by the convention, over the strenuous protest of the radical group, ' of a proposal to change American Labor day from the first Monday in Sep

tember to May 1, "as a bond of affec tion to unite all the world of labor into universal brotherhood." Camuel Gompers, president of the federation, led the fight against the May day resolution, asserting that American Labor day was "a day for American labor," and not a "political event," as it was in Europe.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

By S. W. STRAUS, President There is an old ' proverb which says : "The youth of a nation are the trustees of posterity." America today must understand fully the truth of this old quotation, for we are in the midst of a critical era. The war has left in its wake a vast amount of social unrest. Poverty, hunger and discontent exist among millions of people. The social order, through which civiliration has advanced from the state of the care man, is openly defied. Property rights, the sanctity of the home, the right of religious worship, the development of educa tion, the arts, the sciences and the professions all of these are marked ror destruction by certain sinister forces that have taken advantage of tne suttering ana mucry of nearly five years 01 war. All great wars have been followed by similar waves of reaction, and, in reviewing the present world-wide situ ation, we. need not be unduly depress ed. Katner let us lace the facts with calm courage and resolute optimism. The world is not going to the bow. wows. Civilization will march ever onward and upward. Bolshevism is docroed to die the death it deserves. Right always . has and always will prevail. .

f Twenty-four foot ling or four-foot pulpit-it is all the same to Earl A. 1., , , ,.. , Blackman. of the 130th Field Artillery. Before the war he was pastor of a Kansas church. Now he Is an army chaplain, and one of the most active champions of the big athletic program whitfh th Y.M. CJL Is working out for the men overseas. ' '. When Blackman needed money to get through college, he put on his ring togs and gave boxing lessons, He fought himself through college, but before ha had finished he had decided to enter the ministry, Having won his college bout with adversity, he took another hitch la his belt and started on his second. It was & three-year battles, but Blackman won again with a good margin. Since then he has not had to use the gloves to earn a living, but he has always remained a staunch friend of athletics, and he is enthusiastic over tho outlook for tfce A.E.F. season. Organization of scores of baseball, basketball and othe- leagues; building of athletic fleds, grandstands and boxing pavilions, and the movement and apportionment of vast quantities of athletic supplies require a combination Ban Johnston-Garry Herraaan-Tex Kle Meat-Eating Is Held Injurious To Race (By Associated Press) LONDON, June 18. Meat-eating is injurious to the vitality of the race, Dr . Josiah Oldfleld. a London physician, told the Fruitarian society the other day. "In every country," he went on, "where meat-eating is a national habit the birth rate has decreased in the last fifty years. On the other hand, in countries like Bulgaria, RoumanTa ional dietary, the birth rate is high and Serbia, where meat is not a natand increasing." Experiments showed, he said, that meat-eating produced sterility. Eggs today, he remarked, were not as healthy as they should be because hens were over-taxed with egg-producing food, such as fish, blood and meat. He said that in his hospital care was taken that the eggs used were laid by fowls which fed naturally on grain or in the fields. It is better merely to have loved and lost than to have loved and lost and then have to pay alimony. American Society for Thrift. Let us remember that there are certain orderly procssr-s against which all these malignant forces can never prevail. The strongest bulwark of civilization is education which must henceforth include the teachings of thrift. We have neglected to appreciate this fact in the past, and America, with her boundless wealth and resources, became the world's most thriftless nation. But now we know the value of thrift, l'or we have learn ed it in scenes of bloodshed and tears. We must understand definitely that if we are to safeguard the future we must 'perpetuate our thrift practices, and this can be done only through the schoolroom, because "the youth of a nation are the trustees vof posterity.' It Is a matter of national importance, therefore, that the thrift committee of the National Council of Education, representing the great organization of American school teachers, has developed definite plans for the teaching of this virtue to the youth of our land. We have faced the dangers of superficial instructions In' thrift which included the possibility of encouraging greed, miserliness, avarice and hoarding, rather than the broad, constructive, upbuilding virtue so necessary to all progress, both individual and vtmtionaL Teach thrift in our schools. Teach it broadly constructively, and there will be no danger that Bolshevism or any other form of social disintegration ever will become a reality in America.

Some Idea of the magnltude of Brown's part of the work may be had from the fact that, up to date, the T" has given to the army overseas more than $2,000,000 in athletic equipment alone. Boxing holds a prominent part in the army and Y" program, and the "Fighting Chaplain" of the 130th Is one of the sport's ber. friends. As such, he holds an option exactly opposite to that of most of boxing's opponents. "Boxing is the best form tZ physical exercise because it makes a man and not a beast," Lays the chaplain. "No mere physical superiority is necessary; to be a successful boxer, a man must outguess and outwit his opponent. Several of the doupliboys who hava been up agai' st the chaplain admit that he is one of the best gueseers they ever met. Considerate Cableman Warns Women Against Water From Telephones There is a considerate cableman em ployed by the Richmond telephone company, think two housewives of Richmond. He started to take up a main near their homes to find faulty connections Wednesday and found water in the main. When the women appeared he told them what the trouble was, and warned them to tie sacks over the mouthpiece of their 'phones, to keep out the water which he might squeeze from the cables. They followed instructions. Besides sacks, they put down basins below their 'phones. When the cableman completed his work he called again and was much relieved when he heard no water had appeared "I sure am glad I blew that water the other way," he said. So were the ladies.

vVHY DIAMONDS

ARE SCARCE The German mark, normally worth 25 cents, is taken by Hollanders at 8 cents. Even at this discount, the Germans are buying all the diamonds that the Dutch will sell them. Russia, Japan and China are also buying diamonds heavily. Many of the workmen - in the diamond mines have died of Spanish influenza; others were drafted. As a consequence, very few diamonds will be received from the mines for a long time to come. From the investment point of view, diamonds are gilt-edge investments. They have advanced nearly 200 per cent in value during the last six years. They are going higher. Now is the time to buy.
