Labor Will Make Strike Ordinances Political Issue A. F. of L. Decides to Print Laus That Bar Meetings '?? Steel States To Be Used During the Fail Campaign ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 5. The exec? utive board of the American Federation of Labor, in session here, decided t i day to assemble and print the state or dinances of the various steel centers de signed to curtail the right of public as? sembly in time of strike. This will be a preliminary step in the introduction of the issue in the political campaign. Frank .Morrison, secretary of the Federation, expressed his agreement with the sentiment voiced in the ?lis cussion that the only difference be? tween the opposition to labor in West Virginia and that in Pennsylvania was that "they had more guns in West Vir? ginia." "These agents of the capitalists whom tin -tool industry puts into public of ." said Mr. Morrison, "seek and find ? asons for refusing to grant permits so 'ha* free men mnv exercise a consti \i right. That is what they are doing in the great states of Pennsyl ? ;. and West Virginia. They pre d to i r that an assembly of Ameri? can citizens to discuss their right to :e for the protection of their milies might be prejudicial to the public safety. It is a poor excuse, but .- Ii served thus far. It will not serve much longer, for justice eventually mu I prevail." Commenting on Senator Hardirfg's statement that industrial peace was the prime need of America, Samuel Gom pers, president of the American Fed of Labor, said that collective bargaining was the first roo.uisite for industrial peace. With that principle established, he said, union labor would be ready to meet any administration than half way in the establish tndustrial peace. "Industrial peace can be obtained in this country." he said, "providing the right of worker? to organize in trade and to be represented by per? ns of their own selection in all mat? te) s directly concerning them and their interests as wage earners is conceded." Rep rts have reached the executive council thai its plans for the unioniza? tion of the steel industry are being i imbated by manufacturers of bridge materials, who are delaying shipments to firms that have not promised a i alli? ance againsi organized labor. The re? ports will be investigated. ?-??.

B.?Assurances were given the Stale Department, to? day by the British Embassy that the British cable ship Colonia would not undertake to laud within American territorial waters the end of the cable from Barbados to Miami Fla., until an executive permit, had been issued by the United States government. Tin (table is being constructed for the ? Western Union Telegraph Company j and would connect with, a British line I to Ilrn7.il. Instructions were sent, by the cm- I bassy not only to Vice-Consul Hub bard at. Miami, but also direct, to the] captain of the Colonia to postpone \ landing until the question of a permit! had been settled. Meantime American] destroyers are patrolling off Miami. Embassy officials took the view that t he controversy over the cable was en-I tirely between the Western Union I Company and the State Department. The government has declined to act on the permit pending the meeting here September 15 of the International ? Communications Conference. The view of Embassy officials was supported at the State Department, where is was ?'aid that: the controversy as to the landing of the cable was en-1 tirely between the government arid the1 Western Union Company. British Consul Instructed M?AMI, Fla., Aug. B.?The British; cable ship Colonia, chartered to lay the South American cable from Miami to Barbados in the British West Indies, will not enter American waters until permission is granted by the State De partment in Washington, according to ! advices received to-day'* from the Brit ish Ambassador, Sir Auckland Geddes, by A. II. Hubbard, British vice-consul ? in Miami. Hubbard was instructed in ' a long code dispatch from the Ambas? sador to take command of the cable ship and keep it outside the three mile limit, until further instructions from Washington. Wireless connection has not as yet 1 been established with the Colonia, which left Newport News several days ago, but it is believed that the ship is 1 now oil' the Florida coast. The wire? less station at Miami is endeavoring to get in touch with the ship, and the United States destroyer 155 is held at the municipal docks to tak?' the British vice-consul to the Colonia as soon as it can be located. Western Union's Statement In the absence from New York of Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union, C. W. E. Atkins, first vice-president, yesterday issued the i'ollowing statement re<?ardine; action taken by the United States govern? ment to prevent laying by the com any of a cable from Barbados: "We have nothing to say except that ?ve are not attempting anything un iwful or defiant, and that at the proper time the public will be fully forme I e1' t he real facts." taafh House Prisoners Give Sunshine to Doomed OSSINING, N. V., Aug. 5. Prisoners in the death house at Sing Sing who nave been deprived of liberty, the pur? suit of happiness and, in some cases, < v?'ii of the hope of life, have discov? ered that they still have something which they can give to the less for? tunate among them. They obtained the permission of Warden Lewis E. Lawes to-day to i sacrifice their fifteen-minute exercise periods for the benefit of those doomed to die in a few days. The custom j ?tarted last week, when the time was approaching for the death of Elmer ; Hyatt, who killed a policeman in j Rochester. Several of his comrades volunteered to remain in their cells during the : time allowed them for exercise in the yard if Hyatt's time ?n the yard could be lengthened by that much. Almost every one in the death house is going to make a similar gift of sunshine and restricted freedom to the five men whe are to die August 26. g^nr?:^:--;r'^,^^?;'-^.!t'-^^^3MD^^,?'3 1 SIGN OF HEALTH 1 i| ??j Hj High interest, like high ?1 [3 temperature, is a sign of fej Hi fever.

An amount of space will be reserved for renting, the estimated revenue from which will pay all operating costs and leave a surplus. T The Park-Madison Building will be owned, and managed, on a co-operative basis, by some of the largest and most Drominent Business concerns in the world. FREDERICK P. FOX say*: Because of the many large purchases of down town real estate made since the Armistice, by financial and business interests of International importance, supplemented by the const nut ion of a costly addition to The Stock Exchange, the finan? cial district of Xew York is firmly anchored south of Chambers St. But the "Empire City of the World,"' because of the extension of rapid transit, and the distribu? tion \>f population, has reached the point where an uptown Business and Financial district has become a necessity. The "hub" of this district is t be t ?rand Central, or "Terminal" zone, which already is the location of many leaders in the business and finan? cial world. The Park-Madison building, having space in un? usually large units on single floors, will cater to the very best character of demand, and meet the re? quirements of those corporations who appreciate the wisdom of purchasing space on a co-operative ownership basis, at a cost far below the rental value of the premises. There is no gainsaying the fact that the Park Madison Building is the most important, and in? teresting building operation ever undertaken in the City of New York. Its importance is as ;<r?Nit to tenants as to builders, lenders and owners. Its completion without the aid of a mortgage loan will revolutionize the methods now applied to the financing, improvement and occupation ?>f high class real estate. When the advantages of co-operath ? ?vnei on a mortgage-free basis, are more penerally un ?? stood and ; 11 ? ! .? r < ? ?. ? i : i * < - ? i. the ' ity's mo ! i roi business interests will lo.se but little lime in ? in vertine their rent liability into an asset.
