CHILD LABOR
ACT CONTESTED
Supreme Court Is Asked to Up
hold Federal Court in
r North Carolina.
Washington,. Dec. 5. The supreme
court was asked to uphold federal
court decrees rendered in North. Caro
lina declaring unconstitutional the pro.
visions of the war revenue act of 1919
imposing an excise tax upon profits
derived from products of child labor,
in a brief filed today by Eugene John
ston, and the others in proceedings to
test the act's validity. The case will
be argued next week.
According to the brief, the purpose of
the provision is not to derive a tax,
"but is an attempt by congress to ex
ert a power as to a purely local mat
ter to which the federal authority does
not extend."
"If this statute is to be sustained,"
the brief said, "then 'any privilege tax
may be sustained that puts into dif
ferent classes those pursuing the same
calling, or producing the same product,
dependent upon their conducting them
selves or not conducting themselves, as
congress, deems they should conduct
themselves in matters heretofore
deemed conclusively to be exclusive
within the statute's authority or within
the individual 'control.'
"Of course the same penalty of
heavy taxes can just as well be meted
out to those who do not conform to
congressional ideas in the minimum
wages they pay, in the employment or
non-employment of colored as well as
white. labor, in the installation or non
installation of safety devices, as well
as in the equal or unequal wages , of
female, employees as compared with
male employees, or in the recognition
or non-recognition of the open shop
or the closed shop."
Strong Appeal Is Made to Those
. Visiting or Intending to
x Visit Flanders Fronts.
London, Dec. 5. Rudyard Kipling,
on behalf of v theljwperial "War Graves
Commission, has written an earnest
appeal to those visiting or Intending to
visit the French and Flanders fronts to
observe reverence for the dead. In
part he writes:
"It should be remembered this is
holy ground consecrated in every
art by the lives of men, and for that
reason not to be run over with levity.
It is . inevitable that the handling of
such multitudes of sightseers as are
expected next year must be-managed
along ordinary tourist- lines, so it
rests with the Individual tourist to
save respect for the spirit that lies
upon that land of desolation to walk
through it with reverence.
"It is said there is a tendency on
the xart of some visitors to forget this
obligation." Nothing would be gained
by giving- specific instances of what,
after all, in the. nature of unthinking
carelessness than intentional- disre
spect, but the imperial war graves
commission has asked me to express
our earnest hope that all who visit .the
battle areas will bear in mind that at
every step they are in the presence of
those dead through the merit of whose
sacrifice they enjoy their present life
and whatever measure of freedom is
theirs today." 1

them to sign the protocol of the peace

reached at the secret session of the

March was present.
The supreme council today consid
ered further the note to be sent to""
Germany regarding the protocol, but ,
did not complete the document. i
The secret meeting held by the su- '
preme council yesterday with Marshal
Foch and General Weigand, the Mar
shal's assistant in attendance, has
provoked a great amount of specula-,
tion . as to eventual military action I
across the Rhine in case Germany does s
not reply satisfactorily to the final
note regarding the protocol.
The American troops on the Rhine
now number 12,000 men. No question
has as yet arisen whether they would
participate in any action undertaken
by the French and British.
London, Dec. 5. There was a per-!
sistent rumor in the Stock Exchange
this morning that the supreme council
of the peace conference had threatened
Germany that unless the final peace
terms were agreed to, allied troops
would occupy Kssen and Frankfort.
Up to this time the market has not
been affected by the report..
Official announcement that " Field
Marshal Wilson has gone to Paris, in
response to "an urgent summons , to
corrsukMars1taI JFdch " In connection
with the peace treaty," is regarded by
some morning newspapers as of con
siderable signifcance. It is pointed
alongside the address made in Glas
gow last evening by ; Andrew Bonar
Law, in which he said he believed the
Allies had the power and. if necessary
will exercise it, to insure ratification
of the Versailles treaty by Germany.
It is suggested steps to exert pres
sure on Germany may be Imminent.
"There has been enough- solemn fin
ger wagging at the Germans, who
have come to believe it safe to defy the
Allies." says the Daily Mail, in com
menting on the situation. "A wise and
merciful course would be to tell them
plainly that if within a fixed time they
do not comply with the Allied condi
tions and fulfill the treaty terms the .
blockade will be renewed."

Chicago, Dec. 5. With the general

Fletcher and Hitchcock Opposed
Measure Creating Depart

Washington, Dec. 5 Favorable re
port on a bill providing for the estab

aeronautics was ordered today by the
senate military committee. The vote
was 9 to 2.
Senators Hitchcock, of Nebraska and
Fletcher of Florida, democrats voted
against the measure on the ground that
it would complicate the governmental
machinery and Increase costs of op
eration. The bill which has been op
posed before the committee by both
secretaries Baker and Daniels would
place the department under the di
rection of the chief of the air service,
who would be appointed by the presi
dent with the senate's approval and
would be a member of the cabinet at
a salary of $12,000 annually. The de
partment would have control of the air
services of the army and navy, the
postoffice department and other gov
ernment departments and would be
charged with the development ot
science of aeronautics both commer

ELKS IN GOOD
Performance at Garden Theatre
Pleases Large Audience and
Fills Actors' Treasury.
An excellent performance greeted the
audience at the Garden Theatre last
night, the show being given by the
local lodge of Elks for the benefit of
the Actor's Fund. There was an array
of the best of the local amateur talent,
assisted by professionals from the
Pastime Theatre and the Glacier Jazz
Band from the San Carlos.
John W. McNamara, Dr. S. R. Mal
lory Kennedy and little Aileen Hicks
were especially pleasing, although it
is hard to pick the particular stars,
when the whole performance was so
creditable. J. W. Alcorn's acrobatic
performance was an excellent feature
and Gerald Quina, Leo Waters and
Johnny Frenkle. sang and jested their
way through the show.
Miss Nana Stone assisted the Gla
cier Trio in putting over some pleas
ing numbers and added much to the
success of the bill.
Through the courtesy of Manager
Hobgood of the Pastime Theatre the
Keith players appeared in their reg
ular turns. Black and White, acrobats;
Jolly Wild Company, comedy artists;
Ed Morton, singer; the Padrinis ba
boons, and Leonard and Miller, com
edians, made up the Keith offering.
The whole performance was one of
unusual merit, and the Elks' committee
in charge of the show deserves con
gratulations for gathering together
so clever an array of talent. The
theatre was comfortably filled and a
large sum netted for the Fund.

Rome, Thursday, Dec. 4. The cham

Deputy Daragona, a socialist, said
that Monday's "shameful events,' and
happens at Flume gave the impres

to control the situation, otherwise it
would not have allowed militarism to
crush a "popular demonstration."
"The government must show that
the army obeys it and not the mili
tarist parties," he said. "If you can
not do this, let the proletariat take
your place. Acting as you do, you are
preparing for the revolution you fear
so much."
Premier Nittl replied that the recent
elections showed 'that the government
protected the liberties of everybody,
saying: "nobody was killed throughout

Thereupon the socialists rose, shout
ing "nine were killed at Lodl alone."

'District Representative of Or
ganization Replacing War
Service Is in City.
For the purpose of establishing the
Pensacola branch of the Community
Service on a firm local basis and to
consult as to the menas to be em
ployed to provide funds for its main
tenance, F. C. Williams, district rep
resentative, southern district, Com
munity Service, Inc., with district
headquarters in Chattanooga, spent
yesterday in Pensacola. Mri Williams
is making an itinerary of the south,
visiting all Communtiy branches in his
district for this purpose and. leaves
this morning for Mobile to visit there
in Birmingham and other southern
cities. In speaking of the funds for
the Community Service branches, Mr.
Williams stressed the fact that the
funds were raised locally to be used
locally, no funds to come from outside
or to be used outside of the respective
community.
Aims and objects of Community
Service, peace time outgrowth of War
Camp Community Service, were out
lined yesterday by Mr. Williams. He
is an advocate of the Community
Service idea and believes its intro
duction is needed in this city. He
said:
"It has been proved that Community
Service makes the community a good
place for its members to live in. It
is the medium through which the resi-
retsiJ:pgether with real interest
in community well-being; prosperity
; and stability.
"Community Service, makes .leisure
time a blessing. It gets us all busy in
the business of good citizenship and
we all have a share in the dividends.
"What people need now what the
country needs is", said Mr. Williams,
"peace time service in war time lines.
Individual responsibility is the for
mula of salvation in a democracy.
America was in the way of forgetting
that. Individual responsibility was
dozing but it has awakened. The war
emphasized a lot of things, none more
than individual responsibility, which
has become the familiar spirit of the
millions.
"Community Service ministers to
contentment by promoting justice,
giving to all the members of a com
munity the advantages of a normal
community life. It minimizes unhap
piness by promoting normal and
healthy social relations.
"The organization has no rigid pro
gram. It has to do with the people
and their social needs, and must or
ganize to meet local situations and
demands. It means play and play
grounds and play leaders for the chil
dren; clubs, athletics, dances, dra
matics, community sings, every sort
of social and artistic activity tl 'ves
free play for self expression,
munity Service should be establish,
in Pensacola on a permanent and sociai
foundation. To my mind, the whole
plan of Community Service is one of
the greatest essentials of American
life today."
"Community Service, Incorporated,
proposes to apply to peace problems
the same capable attention and per
sonnel that War Camp Community
Service appiied to the problems of
communities adjoining military and
naval centers during the war," said
Mr. Williams in outlining the aims of
the organization. "To the solution, of
prestige, plus the experience gained
in ministering directly to the social
wants of four million and more soldiers
and sailors."
"The appeal of Community Service"
Mr. Williams added, "is all-inclusive.
It is confined to no class, party or
creed but is availabe to all as an in
strument for the development of com
munity well-being.
"Every community needs a- place
where its young people, and the older
ones, can get together without any
, thought of the difference of creed or
! party. What War Camp Community
Service meant to our boys In service,
Community Service means today to
men. women and children."
i "The Community Service idea is no
Utopian dream" continued Mr. . Will
j lams. "It is practical, as any one who
has seen it in operation win testily.
During the war, hundreds of towns
and villages actually found themselves
in finding out how to help their boys
in uniform through War Camp Com
munity Service. Getting together to
help others, they got acquainted, be
came neighbors, and the community
spirit was planted.
"It is not indifference or snobbish
ness that keeps people apart. It Is
lack of a proper medium for develop
ment " and expression of community
spirit. Community. Service supplies
this necessary medium."
