An Ohio row has now broken eut between the Prcsi dent and Senator Frank B. Willis, or at least a Harding appointment .bn aroused the ire of the Ohio Senator ts President Harding, the man who placed Harding in nomination at Chi amoto M U ih division of pplls of political war that has started the rucus. As reports 'hare it, all "unbeknownst" to Senator Willis the President sent to the Senate the nomination of Charles H. Jfaut, of Toledo, as collector of interna' revetua of the Tenth Ohio district. This mat Senator Willis angry, his anser in tilt matter being such thnt it looks as if then will be a severance of friendly relations between the Presi dent ai J the man from Ohio, who wv.irs rhs Senatorial toga which Hirdin'j put eft when he became President, end thnt Willi? will l:ne up -with the suti admin-istrat.-n faction of Republicans. Willi Backed Oft Board. J , Naut has the backing of Walter", F. Brown, of Ohio, the personal jegraftni tative of the President on tho reorijnnt zatien of the government contntltfee, being its chairman. The inrhioM jof Brown turned the trick for Nnnt. Sen ate Willis had a candidato for the job, Sherman Lott, of Lucas county, ,Nrf which Toledo is the county r.eat. Net alone political' but personal friendship binds Will's end Lott together, so tuht when the Brstvu monkey wrnncH wjs thrownMnta the Willis machinery, mid Naut was awarded the joif, tho Ohio Senator pw.npt'iy gave notice that ho was against the appointment, "t am not fe? Naut, and I shall op pose ths -cmSrmation of the nomina tion," was the way that B.-nato- Willis let bit attrtaln known, And it appear that it it nut alone Waus his friends fail to land that the anger, ef Senator 'Willis rises. Charles Naut, so the report goes, lias long been an anti-.Willis man, bat been with the opposition when Willis sought to be elected governor, and has not thought it necessary to get the approval of Senator Willis in seeking the eollectorship. He claimed the smile of Walter Brown, sad that was the Winning smile with the President Apd those who have been watching the run of things since the advent of the Harding administra tion say that only the expected has. hap pened. Senator Willis, being the only Bepub lican Senator from Ohio is of the opin ion tlat he ought by nil means to hare the big say so as to Ohio appointments. But President Harding, the giver of the gifts to the faithful, especially if they hail from Ohio, has other friends to be cared for, and the backing of Walter Brown tied the job for Charles Naut. - Senator Wllttr thinks that this Is too much of a good thing for the other fellow and the whisper is that he has not been any too much pleased with the other "personal sppointments of the President from hV Ohio friends, such at .that of Dr. Sawyer, of Marion, as Briga dier General; Bunker CTlssinger, of Mar ;ioi- aaOt'tnptt'eHeT of -the-,iuriencyT Wslter T. Brown, of Ohio, as chairman of the reoiwaniration committee and perhaps others. Angered At Dsaghertyi Aid then the Willis prestige ss an Ohio Senator has "swank" also becaute , Attorney General Daugherty also, of Ohio, insisted on having his voice count in the allotment of offices to the job- hungry Obioans, over his man Lott snd with the Walter F. Brown endorse tent, the worm turned pardon me, 1 mean to say that Senator Willis tnracd, Hind he an Bounces that the Naut as pointment is personally objectionable t him, a plea that has perhaps not lost its cunning when there are other Sena tor wot mar want the assistance ef Senator Willis later oh in order .to aid them to swat eome "personally objec tionable person, for "Senatorial eour teey" is a weapon with a kick in it. The only bit X pin that baa come Willi way has been the appointment of Boy Haines, of Ohio, as prohibition com snissioaer. We will see if President ..

Chapel Hill, June 14. Scarcely a stu dent was to be seen, and none to be beard in all the reaches of the nni tersity campus today.

' The classic shades of the aniTcrsity campus were congested with "the' bun dreds of former students whoss feet nevitnbly turn Hill-ward at this seasoi of the year.

Blame for the re cent World War wss placed squarely on the shoulders of organised lsbor in Germany by President Samuel Gompers in sn sddress to the American Fed era tion of Labor convention here today. '"I bold, and I accept full responsihil ity for what I am about to say," said President Gompers, ''that the organized labor amovemenb of Germany failed dismally at the critical hour. ' "If it bad taken the situation -in hand, it might have meant the de struction Of a few . thousands, but it would have stopped tho waa. The fail ure of men to act at a time of crisis is faithlessness to a common cattse. Responds To Delegatea. In his address, which was a- response to those, of fraternal delegates from Great Britain, and Canada, President Gompers dwelt upon the attitude of the federation and himself both during the war and since during the period of re construction. t W. E. Bush, fraternal delegate rep resenting the Canadian Trades and La bor Congress, told the assembled dele gates that despite difficulties, or ganized labor in Canada was at least holding Us own. He reviewed the in cipieney of the "one big union" move ment and predicted ''its esrly death.'' A resolution was adopted by the con vention urging Congress to psss im mediately the Johnson bill providing for a federal investigation- into condi tions in the Mingo county, West Vir ginia, strike zone. Let Irclsnd Alone. Warning against any agitation that might disrupt the American- labor movement, James H. Thomas, British labor leader, told the convention that it could aot eolv the Iran problem. ''For one hundred years we lit Eng land bate been confronted witb the problem ot Ireland and .if we at homo eannot solve thst problem, let me ssk how do yon, 3,000 miles swsy, expeet to solve iiV be said. Mr. Thomas, who is president of tha Internationsl Fed eration of Trade Unions, addressed the convention as a fraternal delegate from the British trades union. "British labor,' Mr. Thomas eon tinucd, ''has always stood and stands now, for liberty. We stand for homo rule for Ireland. "Let me warn you against any agita tion that might disrupt your movement here by creating differences among yourselves. Do not mistake. British labor stands for Irish freedom; the onlv limitation we insist upon is that Ireland shall vnot be allowed to become a menace." Ireland Deceived. "For one hundred years the people of Ireland have been deceived. Fur one hundred years they have been fel upon promisee broken promises, by British statesmen.

Mr.. , Thomas' ." rrmsrks " immediately brought a response from Irish sympa thizers smong the delegstion, who de manded the right to question him.

AMERICAN KILLED BY POLISH INSURGENTS German Machinist Who Es caped from Upper Silesia Tells of Occurrence DEMOCRATS LAUNCH ITACK ON CLAIMS OF G.O. P. MACHINE HE OPENS B.&L. STATE CONVENTION CITES INJUSTICES TO PRODUCERS OF COTTON Much Interest In The Measure Shown By New England and Western Senators; Would Amend Act By Giving; Buy ers and Sellers Option or Re quiring; Delivery Washington, June 14. Senator Dial, of South Carolina, explained to ths Senate today his bill to amend the Cotton Futures Trading Act by giving buyers and sellers of eotton contracts the option or requiring delivery of half of the cotton in two grades. Con siderable interest in the bill, now be fore the Senate sgriculture committee, was manifested by tbe Now Lngland and Western Senators. That thd present cotton futures law waa "one-sided unjust, unfair snd not honest,'' wss ssserted by Senator Dial. Senator Smoot, Republican, IJtah, asked whether the law had not been drawn in part by Mr. Dial's colleague. Sena tor Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, and Senator Dial replied that the Smith Lever law was a step in tbe right direction but did not go far enough, j XI Im Injustices Among injustices to cotton growers cited bv Senator Dial was statistics of the New Orleans and New York cotton exchanges for 1019. The Senator said that on the Now Orleans exchanges 3.1,000,000 bales of .cotton were sold during that year and 71,000,000 on the New York exchange, while the actual coton production fro 1919 was less than 12,000,000 bales. Actual deliveries of cotton on both exchanges ha added, amounted to only 40,000 bales. Provisions of BUI Cotton consumers, Senator Dial ex plained, were required under the law and the cotton exchanges regulations to swept eotton offered on their future contracts or be given s cash settltment if the cotton offered was not suitable for their purposes. This practice, he Continued, resulted in over-selling in the markets, depressing the price of spat eotton. Thst his bill to -give sel lers Snd buyers ths option of delivering halfof two grades ef cotton would re sult ia much less short selling sad therefore in less depression of spot eotton, waa declared by Senator Dial No action was requested or taken on the bill. Senator Dial stating that he desired merely to explain thoroughly its provisions and that all ha wished was fair and honest consideration. George tt.
