Law-Breaking by
High Officials j
Blamed for Crime
Former Employe of Govern
ment Charges Graft in Fed
eral Circles Out of Pro
portion to Private
Business.
Hr International \t*i Sortie*.
Washington. Aug. 19.—The in
crease in the United States is eftie
to widespread and unpunished law
breaking among public officials, ac
cording to charges made Jty H. L.
Scatfe, former employe of the Depart
ment of Justice, in a letter to the
committee on law enforcement of the
American Bat- association.
"The prevalence of graft in the
government out of proportion to-that
" in ordinary business, would Indicate
that there re a different standard in
the enforcement of law against
those who rob the government and
, those who' make private business
their victim.” Soalfp wrote. "The
psychology of socalled crime va^es
needs no explanation and where there
are examples of disrespect for law
and flouting of the law by those in
high authority, a low morale among
law enforcing'officers and a spread of
lawlessness In general are the natural
consequences.
“Jf it were recognized I hat there
existed u plain intent on the part of
officials in high authority to enforce
every latv with equal justice against
i'll offenders, regardless of their
social po“itions. and political influ
ence, the widespread violation, offi
■ ial corruption, and individual de
moralization. whifch the president re
cently declared are rending the
moral fiber of the nation, would not
and could not exist.
“Until recent years such conditions
as these were unheard of because,
under our system of party govern
ment, political parties properly func
tioned In watching and exposing the
shortcomings of each other, but to
day politics has become synonymous
with political intrigues, conspiracies
and spoils, until no party recently In
offlcb can or will dare to evpose the
other. Congressmen who are de
pendent on the political machines for
patronage arid favors, and employes
of the government in general who do
not care to fall out with their bread
and butter, become a party of the
system

Labor to Take
Steps to Revise
Laws at Confab
Legal Provision of Arbitration
to Be One of Aims of State
Federation
Meeting.
R; tMMlttnl l're»*.
Lincoln. Aug. 19. — Rebuilding
of Nebraska's labor law is a necessity
and steps to that end will he taken
at the coming convention of the Nr
braskS, Federation of Labor, to be
held here beginning September o. ac
cording to officials of the federation.
The session will last until all of the
business uf the convention has been
taken care of, which probably wilt
be three or four days, it was an
nounced.
Among the needs to be discussed
is that of a legal provision for arbi
tration between employer and em
ployed, the labor men said. The re
cent arbitration provision of certain
stave laws was t-pealed along with
a number of other sections of laws
when the legislature passed a blanket
repealing act. although it was not in
tended to discard this feature of the
legal tools of the state.
This ha.<* left the state without
legal means of providing for settle
ment of-disputes between employer
and employed; and this situation Is
i, p* remedied by legislative action,
if the labor men can agree upon a
suitable bill and have it enacted by
the next session of the legislature.
The labor men do not favor the
party circle *on ballots used In gen
eral elections, and will seek to have
a new arrangement of the ballots, it
is believed.
Officers to be chosen for the ensu
ing year include president, four vice
presidents, secretary treasurer. and
three members of the legislative coun
cil. These will be chosen at the end
of the session, according to the plans.
Another question to corns before
the convention will l>e the divorcing
of the state workmen's compensate •
division from the state departul*i
of labor. The labor men favor i’ <
divorce.
Entertainment to I,* provided for
the * isitors and delegates from over!
the state Includes a trip to the Ne
braska State fair, and .probably aj
picnic or basket dinner.

By I'niverssl Service.
Washington, Aug. i9.—The great
upheaval feared by pflltIrian* in the
sudden change of administrations has
failed to materialize. President Cool
idgs has taken over the reins of gov
ernment and titular leadership of the
republican party without a percepti

Harding passed av ‘ ^ -<ng of
the preconvention jit now is
believed to have be delayed until
December, at the earliest.
This conclusion is borne out by the
decisions of prospective candidates
wtthin the past few days not to take
any steps nor say a word that might
be interpreted In the public mand as
making them avowed candidates.
C'oolidge Bides Time.
President Coolidge himself has seen
the folly of going out after the nomi- |
nation at this stage. He has given j
positive orders to his friends and po- i
lltieal managers not to say or do any- j
thing that would appear to ^ldlcate
that he is a candidate for the nomi- I
nation. There is plenty of time for
that, he has told those around, hint.
Mr. Coolidge’s attitudg is that bis
first job is to make good. Ills plan
of strategy is to concentrate bis full
attention and all his energies of the
problems of government that confront
