Philadelphia, Sept !5. Tha Penmr'-
"vanla Railroad company will not pre
sent any or all evidence at tha hearing
granted It by the United States-labor
board In connection with the shop
crafts committee election dispute.- The
hearing li set for tomorrow :at Chi
cago. The company tonight mada'pub
llo a letter from President Samuel, Kea
to the board. In which he states that
In view ot the (act that the board had
declined to bear the company upon the
Issues of law an (act presented In1 its
application for ' the hearing and had
limited the hearing; to three points,
the company has nothing- to present.
The .letter will be filed with the board
tomorrow by a representative of the
company. ' '
Mr. Rea says the carrier "asserts and
will exercise Its right to deal with Its
own employes without the Interven
tion 'of Individuals or organisations
whose manifest objeot Is the denial of
the fundamental right of employer and
employes to deal In the first instance
directly with each other respecting
wages and working conditions in which
they alone are directly interested."
The company on August it asked the
board to set aside Its decision calling
for a new election of shop crafts com
mittee to arrange rules and working
conditions and requested hearing and
submit oral evidence. . On .September
19. tha hoard n-ranted' the Comnanv'S
request but limited the hearing to
three noints. They are: '
What employes, not In the active
service of the carrier, such as men laid
off. furlouehed or absent upon leave,
shall participate In tha election of
rommltteesj. how the representative
Capacity of spokesmen of unorganised
employes shall be ascertained, and per
mitting the carriers to offer evidence
ef the adoption or ratification of Its
shop ctaft rules by representatives of
the oralis tairiy selected Dy a ma
jority of the employes of that class.
Mr. Rea in his letter also says:
"The carrier reminds the board that
In Its application It asked the board to
find In pursuance of the transpostation
act that the carrier -has tke lawful
right to establish rules- and working
conditions In the first Instance, either
,wlth or without first holding confer
ences with Its employes; and that the
contracts respecting rules and work
ing conditions heretofore entered Into
by the carrier and Its employes in the
shop crafts are now In full force and
effect without lurther action on the
. cart of the carrier, and Its employes
In the sai shop crafts. The board has
refused to grant a hearing and to make
such .finding, and has In all respects
declined to hear the carriers upon the
Issues of law and (act presented In
Its said application. It follows there
fore, that there is nothing for the car
rier to present in the way of oral
evidence on the day fixed by the board.
September 86.
"The -carrier notes that It Is refer
red hv the board to Its decision In
which the board arrogates to Itself the
right to Ignore the decisions of the
Supreme court of the United States
determining the respective rights of
employers-and employes, and decides
that 'hitherto unquestioned legal
rights' must give way to the board's
views of what Is Just, fair and rea
sonable' as between the . parties knd
the pUbllC. . . . . . .
"The carrier cannot accept these
views of the board, novel and startling
though they may be, and. If followed
to their logical conclusion, revolu
tionary In effect. It does not believe
that the transportation act has de
prived, or was intended by Congress
to deprive either employers or em
ployes of thtlr constitutional and legal
rights as established by the Supreme
court and other courts of the United
States.
"The carrier states finally that It
. has not denied and Is sot now denying
the Jurisdiction of the labor board to
near and decide such disputes as (all
within the purview ojf the tranapor
tatlon aot, but It denies the right of
tha board to Invade the domain of
management and to assert jurisdiction
over grievances of whatsoever kind
and character In connection with the
employment, the discipline and the
discharge of its employes."

Belfast. Sept. 20. (Dy Associated
Press) Two persons were killed and
wounded In rioting here last night
during which bombs were thrown.
Two children playing In the streets
and a girl were wounded by stray bul

The girl was wounded -when the-police

people in Beaford street.
Eighteen of the wounded were taken
to the Victoria hospital and the other

During the fighting a saloon was
burned. One bomb was thrown in the
Wllewatcr road, which Is outside the
area that has been concerned in the
rioting. 8lx persons were wounded
here, -two of them seriously.
One version of tho earlier bombing
In east Belfast Is that a unionist crowd
' threw a bomb Into a combination liquor
and grocery store in order to set It on
. fire and that whilo they. were carrying
out the operation they were made the
target for a republican bomb.

Price Levels Friday the Same
As a Week Ago.
MARKET IS UP AND DOWN
At the Moment, However, It Ap-
pears To Be In Position To .. -.
Sustain a Rise.
THE PUBLIC SUSPICIOUS
It Has Not Responded To the tare of
Rising Prices Hear Tactics Have
instilled a Fear of further
Declines.
New Tork. Sept. 25. The stock mar
ket has now witnessed two successive
weeks of. conflicting current, the chief
effect of which was to depress Indus
trial stock prices to a level not far
removed from the point where the up
ward (light of two weeks ago began,
At the close Friday night the Indus
trials averages were practically those
of the same day in the previous week,
The turning and byplay of the week's
markets were prodigious. At times It
seemed as if acute weakness and - a
recurrence to the declining markets of
early August would be seen, But aft
er a loss of three to (our points, the
trend was reversed, with the result
that changes (or the week were small
except In ther rails where the gains
were; substantial. - -
Of .course as (ar as Individual stocks
are concerned, this Is not quite true.
Two leaders ot the September advance,
Mexican Petroleum and Baldwin Lo
comotlve, were successively deposed,
and United States Steel succeeded to
the leadership. The steel group prac
tically In lta entirety moved and was
sustained at about Its high levels of
the advance since August 24. Rail
shares came Into (avor and made sub
stantial gains, and from this move
ment has come a rise which has prac
tically put tho rail list and the In
dustrial list on a parity in their re
coveries (rom the law points of the
year. , .
At the moment the market appears
to be In a better position as a whole
to sustain a continued rise than at
any time this year. Unfortunately
thers are several factors which mili
tate against this view. The gubllt has
not responded to the lure of rising
prices, and it Is a recognised fact In
many brokerage houses that the buy
ing Is not likely at these levels. Bear
tactics of the past six months have
Instilled a fear of further declines and
111 advised attempts to murk up stocks
In each case this year have resulted
In declines to levels lower than the
point where the movement began. This
has not been the fate of the upward
awing this month, but Its fate un
doubtedly depends on the good sense
of the leaders. .
fludden Advance Injurious; r -
For another thing, it is not certain
that the so-called "Haute finance" the
big Interests and the financial powers,
are in- sympathy -with efforts to move
up stocks. In the final analysis the
driving power comes .from these
sources and they are powerful enough
to sweep aside the day lo day "mak
ers of markets" regardless of previous
successes or accumulated wealth.
Warld-wida affairs which dictate the
attitude of . these . powers are by no
means In harmony with a bobm-in
stocks at this time or for a long time
to come. There is ever present the
spectre of a crash In "Germany and
worse In Russia, where collftpiie
would Involve many other nations.
Within this country there Is labor de
flated which has been accomplished
to only a small extent. There are tax
revision, a railroad problem that will
not be settled for years, even if a sat
isfactory balance of earnings Is estab
lished; the tremendous question of
allied debts, any many othor consid
erations. .... ,
Financial health and economical
strength must go hand In hand.- Sud
den advances in stock value are very
much like "pound flesh" Injurious to
real recovery. There is nothing In
gradually advancing stock pricej that
is incompatible with financial health.

Washington,' Bept 26. That tha ap
proaching conference on the limita
tion of armaments simply "must bring
results,". Is the keynote of an an
nouncement here by the National
League of Women Voters. JThls state
ment ot policy and the part feminine
Influence ' Is expected to play at the
approaching International conference
carries a quotation from Miss Ger
trude Weil,' state chairman of the
League of, Women Voters (or North
Carolina.
"If the women of the country are
strong enough (or It," the national
headquarters of the organization
quotes Miss Well as saying "reduc
tion of armament can be achieved. Two
things are necessary; they must want
It and they must express their wish
for It."
The words of ' the North Carolina
state chairman are used by the Na
tional League of Women Voters as
the preface of a bulletin Issued tonight
by that organization sounding a call
to all women to Insist upon actual re
sults at the disarmament gathering.
There is no woman on the American
delegation to the disarmament confer
ence, but it Is apparent that the. wo
men organisations of the country In
tend to bring every normal influence
to bear In support of armament re
duction. It Is stated that "carrying
out the suggestion of Miss .Elisabeth
Hauser, chairman of the league's com
mittee on reduction ot armament" that
organisation Is doing its best to see
that everyone In the United States Is
Informed of the vital importance-of
the coming limitation of armament
conference In Washington.
The appear! (or real progress at the
conference as promulgated by the na
tional organization of women Is a
sort of "human Interest" document
from the quotation at the start from
Miss Well's address to the women of
North Carolina, and the country, on
through the resume pf what progress
women are making In various fields
of activity. .
" Children Pur For War.
Regarding the disarmament move
ment and the part the women of the
United States may play therein, the
laaaua reDorta that Mrs.. William
I'almftr;Ulcas., $loe . chairman, -tot . the
west on M Ibs Hauser'a reduction of
armament committee, believes the con
ference will bring forth results.
"The conference must bring results,"
savs Mrs. Luoas. She ; was abroad
during the war, saw It In all Its
hideousness, worked among me
Csechs. the refugee camps, In the
hospitals, and pictures it to the chair
men of her local committee In an ap
peal to do their part in making this
conference a success inai iiuie cnu
dren of the world may not again have
to live through ' such horrors and
erueltles. I
"Who pays (or wars?' She asks
and answers It herself: "Tne cnu
dren. This country o( ours has never
turned a deat ear to the cry o( the
children. And) In the end, it Is the
children of the world who pay most
heavily tor war. I saw the children of
Belgium ad the children of France
give up every little glad thing of child
hood, give up food and clothing, homes,
fathers, brothers, and bften mothers,
everything, and today the children of
the world are paying (or the great
war, and tomorrow they win pay.
Everv onoortunity (or growth, educa
tion, training, will be cut down, down
to meet the taxation o( wars past and
future. ,
"Again I see the (aces ot-all those
weary millions of women the world
over who gave their all to end the
war. I see all those gallant little
children looking with wistful eyes at
America and somehow I (eel sure
they are going to be heard, and felt,
and answered.
"I believe my country, I believe that
boy in the hospital at Neullly Is going
to be answered. As he lay dying, his
legs off at the trunk, he said to me
'It ain't the dying I mind, Mrs. i,ucas.
it's the dvln" and not knowing wheth

war to end war once and for all. He
Isn't answered yet, but he has got ta

' Kazan, Sept. 36. The first feeding
station In the famine area was opened
here today. Three hundred and twenty
seven children in the biggest children's
home In Kazan, virtually all orphans
or street waifs, whose scrawny arms'
and logs and pallid faces registered
ths privations of three years, got out
side a plentiful dinner of American
white baead, cocoa with milk and rice.
It was the first square meal that most
of them had had during their lives and
Its proportions were so large,' com
pared Ith what Russian children re
ceive even In days of plenty, that the.
ofriojsjs) at flrV sw.iiMbi tO' tjejlsvf
that it was th minimum which lntei1'

What those children', who have been
rationed and therefore, supposedly are
better fed than the general run of
children In the Tartar republic, have
been receiving will tell the tale ot
the necessity for American relief bet
ter than any account of their appear
ance, which I might give. A quarter
of a pound of heavy black bread, an
eighth- of a pound of buckwheat gruel,
a piece of horse meat the size of one's
thumb and sugarless tea comprised a
meal which served the children tquat
led tallorwiso on the floor when I vis
ited the Institution. The next day's
menu was to be the same, except for
the horse meat, whlc,h was a rare lux
ury the first i they had received In
four months but upon instructions by
Colonel BurlanoV of the Hoover relief'
expedition, this will be served now as
supper Instead of the cup of tea with
which the children customarily topped
off their day before turning in on pal
lets spread, Tartar fashion, on the
floor. .
Tartar Child Belief. .
The operations here might well be
termed Tartar child relief and' not
Russian, for most of those In the In
stitutions do' not even understand
Russian and their slant eyes, high
cheek bones and quaint costumes be
trayed their direct descont from the
Mongol hordes which swept over Rus
sia In the 13th century and remained
In residence after Ivan the TerrlUio
had conquered the Mohammedan em
pire. Kazan Itself, though In tha heart of
Russia, Is today rather an Aalatio than
a Slav city. Tlnnauled mosques look
down on' street crowds of men with
embroidered skull caps, shaven heads,
long sleeveless woolen caftans and in
high, embroidered boots of van-colored
leather, while the merchants chat
ter over their exotic wares in the low
booths of an Aslatlo . baiaar. The
presence of famine was shown by a
corpse which 1 saw in the market, ly
ing where it had fnllon from hunirer
In -the street, and by children whose
end seemed only a little further off.
Gratitude for the American child
relief in the famine area which was
Instituted in Kazan was quick to find
expression In an official statement by
Alexel Muukhtarov, president of the
Tartar republic. President Moukhtarov,
who despite his youth was still a
student In a university when the rev
olution began Is high in the councils
of the federated soviet republic of
Russia, said that even If the govern
ment were able to. help with relief for
adults and children from the more for
tunate parts of Russia Its contribu

meet the requirements of the situation

Washington, Sept. 25. The great
public demonstration which was held
in Vienna last week to express ap
proval of the movement In favor of
union with Germany la significant It
Indicates the partial failure of the
French policy to -bring the asgregated
parts of the Austro-Hungarian empire
under French Influence.
The Austrians, particularly the
Viennese, have no lovs for Prussia, the
state which always must dominate any
greater Germany, but they are in such
financial and industrial straits . that
some kind of federation with Germany
seems the only way out, '
At one time Austria had high hopes
of obtaining financial relief by means
ot the loan which was planned through
the good offices ot the league of na
tions. This loan would not. In the
opinion of economists familiar with
the situation, have realised the hopes
anticipated, and. the relief brought by
lt-wtW have'-been "of '' tempurnry
character. Nevertheless, the promised
help has held In check until now the
sentiment in favor of - union - with
Germany. -
It is not alone the hopeful financial
situation- which is stirring Austria to
action, but there Is -the further desire
to rid herself of the trade restrictions
which her neighbors ( have thrown
around her. Today she has an area
about the eire-'of South Carolina and
a population of little more than six
millions; tomorrw, if united with Ger
many she becrr.es a part ot on ot the
world's potential powers..
After the war and up to the present
there has been a movement among
many peuples toward segregation. This
has been carried to such a limit that
Its absurdity In many instances has
been recognised, and there has been
recently a reaction and a tendency to
swing back In the other direction,
Germany would be willing to accept
Austria, but there Is not as muoh
eagerness for , the union as there
would be If Austria were not almost
wholly Catholic In religion. It would
give the already powerful centerum
party In Germany more Influence and,
with coalition with some of the weak
er parties, It might give them ths con
trol at the government. There would
also be difficulties regarding the ques
tions of their respective publlo debts
ftThd reparations.
France has opposed tne unking oi
Austria with Germany for obvious
reasons. She desires a weaker , Ger
many, not a stronger one. If Ger
many could be segregated Into suoh
parts as existed prior to '71 France
would be reassured. As the situation
now la. Franco Is looking In every pos
sible direction for security. She feels
that sho either has been or Is In pro
cess of being deserted by her wsr al
lies. She Is. therefore, at the moment
depending upon her army for present
and future protection. She also Is
reaching out for new allies In eastern
and southeastern Europe. She has
sought to build a powerful rolish
state, but has. not as yet succeeded.
Poland is showing more vitality than
her enemies have predicted, but Po
land falls far short of being the ally
which Franco had In tha Russia o( pre
war days.-
With the tendency of Germany and
Russia to work In understanding, l'o-y
land must always be in a procarlouel
condition. Those two strong states
could crush her, almost over night and
before France could Interfere.
Brlnnd's intention to attend the
Washington conference has back of It
the hopo that France's position may
be again In some way strengthened. It
Is not a reduction of armaments that
he h4-tn44ojnut-h as the security
of France. Germany Is disarmed as
much'as sbe can be. therefore, It Is not
to , bring1 about a different condition
there which brings him to the confer
ence, but It Is to seek in some way to
make Franco stronger for the future
and to demonstrate to -Washington
that the French army must remain as
powerful as now unless some other se
curity Is giVdll.
If Frar.ee could know that she was
safe from German attack the whole
F.uropenir situation would be eased
immediately, but until sho has as
snrsnces of this -nature ahe-wlll. tuaUl
upon maintaining an army large
enough to Insure her own safety re
gardless of other conslilerntlons.

The stars differ In glory as most
of them do. First Is Allen J. Max. .
well, who was promised the ministry
of taxation and fnr whom the placo
was created at th instanoe of th
governor, Mr. Maxwell looks In after
th fashion of John Webster's birds,
his brides and grooms. Marriage, said
Mr. Webster, is like a summer bird
cage th - birds without th cag
weary for tear they shall never get
In; and th bird within despair lest
they shall never get out, Mr. Maxwell
"wanted" In; Mr. Watts doubtless
want out.
Next ther Is Joslah William Bailey,
champion "I-told-you-so" statesman In ,
North Carolina. He delight In th
spectacle ot a great railway company
highballing ft to the federal oourts

pion de lux Yarborough house prison,

barded Maxwell and company from th
heights of academlo perfection ana
dared then to do their duty by taking
one penny oft the corporations and
laying It on agriculture which
notoriously underpays Its obligations In
taxes. Th Southern remained put;
Mr. Galley didn't. And he has th
laugh on it '
Third and last, most brilliant of th
three luminaries, Is Thomas Walter
Bickett. This isn't saying that Blckett
has more brains than Maxwell and
Bailey; rather that he is the shlnlngest
ons In th oonatellatlon. When Bailey
said his policy would creata an orgy
of extravagance In th state. Blckett
answered with ..the lS-cent pauper
limit, then cam Morrison and Watts
with their seventy or so million pro
gram with no ad valorem tag at all.
When. Blckett coined his expressive
"taxbooka speak th truth," tha ad
ministration answered with it "back-to-th-countlea"
cry, another fetich of
Bailey Idolatrous homage, They ar
"back ther now d Wckett enjoys
peeping In to the house ot refuge
where Colonel Huss Watt and th
administration ar taking a whirl with
41 cout ties. '
Messrs, Maxwell and Blckett do not
talk. It la as hard to break their si
lence when they should speak as it Is
to penetrate Governor Morrison's
speech when he should be silent. But
Maxwell Is human and Blckett la
humorous. If they cannot enjoy th
discomfltur of the told-you-soers and
the back-to-the-countlers, the repudla
tors, the renunclators, and the local
self-government monomaniac who
fancy that a great state business can
be run on little county - lack of It,
something Is wrong with Maxwell and
Bickett. Mr.- Bailey thinks It is th
cutest little1 thing In the world that
the Southern which favored a uniform
and truthful Valuation of property
should have received more than It
bargained for, and Maxwell and Bickett
must be somewhat pleased that In the
destruction of the state system and
the transportation of the buck to th
counties, half th. state should pile on
the administration In on littl hous
ot refuge. , . , . ,
More Tronbl Than Ever,
The taxing power are In mor
trouble than they have bean sine they
got religion, under Blckett. The first
man to come to the mourner's bench
In that regime was Joslah William
Bailey. Infants Imagine that Bailey
Is the daddy 'of all the "pore" men In
the state and as a father pltleth his
children so pities Bailey th landless
laborer of th land, But Bailey
conspicuous contribution to the tax
ridden agriculturist was a torrid de
nunciation ot the state tax commission
slttlna&hers In Halelgh for having fail
ed' to go to the counties, yank In all
the mules, goats, sheep, cows, hogs,
horses, and every of the 33,000,000 acre
of land, tax them at their real value
in money and "get revenue enough" ta
make unnecessary this "odious and in
quisiforlal Income tax." Bailey was
then sneaking for business men and
double-inrtng the commission to tax
the man who doesn't pay on the farm.
Under Itevlvatlst Blckett Bailey got
religion enough to make the other
fellow, Including the "porevfarmr;
pay taxes on what his property was
worth. He backslid, Ilalley did, but
never got so abandoned that hs was -willing
fnr the earner of incomes to
pay the Income tax. So Maxwell and
I'.lckett have still a laugh or two on
lialley, for they told him so. They told
h I in he wasn't telling tha truth when
he said the Income tax would be borne
by the poor devil, that the poor devil
would be persecuted even unto strange
iltlcs. Nearly half the V. V't in.the
state"' got anSeffiptlon of 1300 and
P.lckett and Maxwell still are giggling
at Lalley.
So while Bailey laughs at Maxwell,
Blckett, and the Southern railway, all
high spokesmen of revaluation, Max
well and Blckett give Hal ley, Watts,
Morrison and the other back-to-the-countlers
chortles, guffaws and the
ehaulaunua salute. When Mr. Morrison
tamo here to govern, the only thing he
appeared to wish, as the state, to
do was to "coerce" the counties Into
support of his road program, but he
