Labor Day Wmht ouiet within the limits of Washington, for there wat o eelebra tion of the day here, a big baseball tame in the afternoon being the main event of tho day. The fact of a half holidny Saturday with today all holiday and Sunday intervening, enabled many irovcrumcnt employees to"' pay visrta borne or to take trip to other places. so there was a dearth of stores here wite as of employees In big store here which save an all day holiday on Saturday. Irregular showers tad cloudy skies made the day pleasant ani gate a relief from the incessant heat of the past week. President Harding is out of the eitv on the Mayflower and the various departments were closed. The only North Carolinian I saw during tho day was Congressman Zeb Weaver, who finds omething to do in his-office even with Corgreis off on a holiday.

Thnt is the definite announcement of the American asso ciation for the recognition of the Irish republic, news of this eominy to 'Washington last night at the meeting bf the Irish local organization. I The membership was advised to get ready to take care of at least a thous 'and delegates whom it is proposed to 'have on duty here during the confer lence.

Altogether the Irish in America are preparing to make it warm' for the British delegates to the disarmament conference. Herald Flays Tax Bill. The Washington Herald, the paper aid to be under the control of Herbert Hoover, loses no opportunity to flay the tax revision bill. In its issue to iflay It savi that it has heretofore pointed out that "the tax revision bill as it came from the House, was but little lese than 'monstrosity,' that the need Is for simplification almost hi much at for revision," and that the 'ultimate consumer will probably pay the tax, no matter how of oa what it Is levied. And John 0. Bhedd, president Marshall Field and Company, said, to be the greatest merchant in the world. tayt that with poor Judgment need in framing the lawt en tariff, taxation and ' transportation" we will no doubt tumble on -through a period of un certainty, business stagnation, and an vest. Mr. Shedd sees dearly that the Fordney tariff bill it a threat to American prosperity and that the pro posed American valuation scheme adds o tho monstrosity. . Here is what he has to say of the Fordney tariff bill: "It it vital that committees be made ', to understand that a law that prohibits eur buy ill g products ot foreign manu facture will make It Impo-Jblo for Europe to purchase our surplus farm products, raw materials, etc Europe cm only pay In itt products; it hat not the gold.

To expedite the advances, executive committees are being formed in agri cultural and stock raising teetiont of the West and South and will attend to preliminary details ef applications, making the necessary Investigations and determining the adequacy of securities ouerea. Ten or niigen sucn commu ted are being formed now and others will be added as the amount of busi ness in the different localities warrants. The eorporation'i policy for finan cing advances, omeisJa asserted, has not yet been definitely decided, but it Is believed that little of the (400,000,- 000 balance with tho treasury will be used for agricultural credits. Demands may be made on the treasury to make the first loans, officials declared, but as toon aa the volume of needed credits can be gauged, it is believed the cor poration will begin issuing its own bonds. Current Operation. Current operations of the corporation in financing exports are being carried on almost exclusively out of revolving fond automatically established by the repayment being made on the approx imately S100,DW,uuu in adrances now outstanding.
