Labor Federation
Behind Strikers,
Gompers Declares
Attitude of Railway Hoard
Scored by Union Chief
Men Fighting for Life
of Organization.
Washington, July IS The Ameri.
:n Federation of Labor Hands
squarely behind the unking railway
shopmen of the country and mean
to do everything within it power to
assist the various union whose mem
bers are "fighting for the very life of
their organizations, Samuel tiomp
erj, president of the American Fed
eration of Labor, said.
The attitude of the railroad labor
board was denounced by Mr. Gomp
ers, who declared the board, ever
since its creation had been a blot
on the "sensible procedure of things."
Mr. Gompers said he was confi
dent that if the railway executives
and representatives of the railway
workers were to meet and discuss
their differences among themselves,
they would reach an agreement to
end the strike. He did not look with
favor on any move by the labor
board to adjust the differences be
tween the rail managers and work
ers, he said, because in the creation
of the board it was apparent that
politicians were to decide industrial
questions."
So long as the state authorities re
fuse to call on the federal govern
ment for assistance, he insisted, the
government has no power within the
law to send federal troops to any
State.
Mr. Gomoers scouted the idea that
the striking shopmen were interter
ring with mail trains.
Mr. Gompers also asserted he had
Information that the Interstate Com
merce commission was in possession
of official data to the effect that
locomotives were being illegally sent
out of yards by various railroad com
panies unfit for service and danger
ous to the public.

westbound Wolverine Flyer, the
Michigan Central's finest train, went
over loosened tracks two miles east

Political Activities
Seven in Race.
T.lnooln The rsce for th republican
nomination to congress In the First con
gressional district Is attracting more man
ordinary Interest on account of the activ
ities of the seven candidates who are seek
Inr the nomination for the regular or long
term. Nearly all of thai have, entered
upon an active speaxing campaign into ma
far corners of the counties that compose
that dlatrlrt.
The seven candidates lined up In this
Tare are. In the order named on the cer-
tlfUrl list of candidates Issued by the sec
retary of state: Walter L. Anderson. Pel-
ham A. Barrows, both of Lincoln; Wilber
W. Anness of Dunbar. J. Ray Shlke. Uni
versity Place; Paul Manhart and John
Hanna, both of Auburn, and R. H. Thorpe
of Lincoln. The names of Mr. Barrows.
Mr. Shlke and Mr. Thorpe also appear on
the short term or vacancy ballot for the
republican nomination.
Wants Chance.
Auburn Paul Manhart, republican can
didate for nomination as congressman
from the First congressional district, who
haa come out In favor of a change In the
Volstead act ao as to permit the manu
facture and sale of light wines and beer,
Issued a statement In which he asserted
that a large number of persons In his dis
trict have told him they voted for the
prohibition Issue before the amendment
was ratified by the state legislature In
the belief that prohibition meant the do
ing away with the commonly called
"American saloon or bars. They believed,
according to Mr. Manhart. that there
would be no effort to take away the
right to have. If they desired, beverages
of low alcoholic content, in their homes.
Mr. Manhart claims that prohibition
till Is a live Issue In the state. He says
the next question In order of consequence
that the people talk about la taxation. He
Bays they claim that the cause of the
heavy taxes and the source ef revenue to
meet them could be remedied by permit
ting the use of light wines and beer In
homes and collecting from said beverages
a small revenue; and at the same time
this would apportion the burden of taxa
tion more equitably and do away with the
great cost of trying to enforce strict prohibition.
Declare War on System.
Blue Hill. In announcing his campaign
platform for the nomination as state su
perintendent of publlo Instruction, Prof. C.
I Mathews of this city today declared
ha would If elected, "unshackle the hold
of the state university on the state su
perintendent's office." and .that he would
dismiss a major portion of the Inspectors
employed In that office.
Professor Wcatcott stated his desire
that he wanted "that part of the tax dol
lar spent In the home district for the
hone school, under supervision of the
home people and not the centralised power
down at Lincoln." He claima to be the
first of the candidate to declar war up
on the centralized system and alleged,
rests and extravagance In school matters.
Oldest Resident Banning.
l,lncoln Darius M. Amsberry, candidate
for congress from the Sixth congressional
district, claims to have been a resident of
hi district for a longer time than any of
hi competitors. He located as a home
steader In Custer county In April, 1871.
Since that time he has had much to do

There are many candidates for the
various state nominations, lhe can

the coal strike which will continue
the present high prices through the
coming winter. Compared with the
prices of our western products coal
prices are absolutely out of proportion."

A Snug Fit
Under the Arch
It's restful! Just at that point
where all the weight of the body
falls on the top of the foot arch.
The Cantilever Shoe catches that
weight and distributes it properly.
No wonder a woman feels so much
better in Cantilever Shoes, which fit
so snugly under the arch and seem
to lighten her step.
No Metal In the Shank.
The well-designed shank is a dis
tinguishing feature of the Cantilever
Shoe. It is shaped to fit the natural
contour of the foot arch. The fit
ting la perfected by the flexibility
of the shank, which, when the shoe
is laced, conforms to the under
curve of the foot By wearing
Cantilevers you have shoes which
fit precisely under the arch, and
snugly at the heel; comfortably at
the toe, as well.
