INSURGENTS HOIST THE WHITE FLAG IN IN CONFLICT Violent Explosion Oc curs; Eamon de Valera Leading Troops; Battle is Raging. (By Associated Press) Dublin, June 80. The insur gents who have been occupying the Fourt Court in Dublin surrendered at 4:10 this afternoon, it is of ficially announced, says a press as sociation statement. The surren der was preceded at 4 o'clock by their hoisting the white flag over the building. An explosion which broke up a section Sf the building preceded the surrender by a few hours. It is believed a considerable number of insurgents were wounded by the explosion, although they did not occupy that part of the struc ture blown up. When the surrender took place Fourt Court was still in flames. There were 180 of the irregulars in the party. They marched out of the building with a priest at the head of the column. The free state commandant had issued orders to cease firing. The explosion tore open the structure of the roof of the build ing and showered the surrounding streets with documents, from the archieves, according to fragmen tary reports received here today from the war-torn Irish capital.

HARDING WOULD DRIVE HIS OWN AUTOMOBILE Washington, June 30. President Harding's hands are being kept off the wheel of his powerful automo bile only by precedent and the pleadings of the secret cervice men. When the President starts for the great homecoming in Mar ion next week he will ride as a passenger in one of 'the regular White House machines. It will not be as he would wish, however. When President Harding was cicv(cu biic owi y nviiv uui vimv iivi would get some exercise by driv-i ing his automobile. The story was from the president, then senator,! and he really thought nothing: would prevent him from doing as; he wished. But when the president j went, into the White House he learned he was a victim of pre cedent and the desire of the secret service men to protect him and his health and life. His automobile has almost forgotten him. The president has always been a motor fan, but as a driver and not as a rider. He owned one of the first motors taken into Marion. He got everything he could get out of his first car and purchased one with a little more power and speed. Gradually he made other purchases until now he owns an American car noted for its power and speed, although not for its economy. SEES FARMERS TAKING LEAD IN LOWER PRICES Trenton, N. J.. June 30. The farmer is still setting the pace to ward normalcy in business condi tions, according to the New Jersey state bureau of markets. Reports to the bureau from the large mar-1 kets, giving the price range : on farm products, show that many, staple farm products, such as gratn and potatoes, are selling at pre-war values. Prices on special-j by brisk seasonable demand, show reductions greater than on most manufactured products. ? ; r "The farmer has figured that fair prices create a strong demand for his truck crops, fruits and veg etables, while an artificially in creased price correspondingly lim its his outlet," says a statement from the bureau. He has, there fore, met the public's need for lower schedules for food crops in the face of city labor's efforts to hold fast to war wages, with its effect on costs of all manufactur ed equipment and supplies the farmer must use in his business."

Sea planes are acting auxiliaries to rum-laden schooners from the West Indies, according to tip which has been received by the coast guards and which is now be ing investigated sy inem. It is said that some of the pilots of passengercarrying planes which operate in . Florida waters during the winter and . at Jersey coast resorts in the summer have entered the bootlegging business, and by means of their planes are enabling the schooners to land their cargoes with little or no dan ger of capture. A resort cafe proprietor is said to be the backer of the enterprise here and has agents stationed at various points along - the coast. The planes, after recciviag the "wet goods," fly over the marshes and drop the bottles near desig nated places, where they are pick ed up by the agents and delivered to -the cafes and saloons . here. Much of the high-proof liquors of pre-prohibition quality are said to have been smuggled into the re sort by this means. INDIANS APT IN SCHOOL . Saranae Lake, N. June 80-r It is becoming evident to even those opposed to the 'plan that the money being spent by the, State for the education of the St, Regis Indians is bringing results. Indian farmers on the reserva tion north of here, who have taken the agricultural course, las&season raised record crops, despite the fact that it was a poor farming season. This year they are plan ning for even better results. As a result of education. Indian children are also proving the men tal equals of white children. In some studies they are superior, as it was a little Indian girl of 11 who this spring won the Franklin county spelling contest. She is Ruth White, the daughter of Chief Moses White, of the St Regis tribe, and will contest at the State spelling contest at Syracuse. TAFT SAYS AMERICANS : LACK WORLD INTEREST London, v June 80.

Twenty thousand of the 45,000 members of the International Brotherhood of Stationary Firemen and Oilers are j railroad workers and subject to' railroad strike call, according to' Timothy Healey, international , president of the brotherhood. The Brotherhood was organized in 4899 as an international union of steam . plant workers. Originally it com prised commercial employers, but1 soon expanded to take in round j house men, namely, engineers, flre- men, oilers, water tenders, boiler, cleaners, and coal passers. - In the last twenty-three years the brotherhood has effected the cutting almost in half of working hours in all the crafts represented by its membership, according to Mr. Healey. Before its organiza tion, he asserted, stationary fire men worked twelve hours a day, seven days a week; now they work eight hours a day, and except on the railroads, six days a week. The original two shifts, he said, were on duty eleven and thirteen hours respectively, and in order that night workers might have a day shift every other week, each shift worked twenty-four hours 'at a stretch every other week-end. These conditions were done away with by the introduction of three j eight-hour shifts, 'and the six-day , week has been put into effect in all the commercial steam plants) where the brotherhood is repre-( sented, according to officials. The brotherhood lobbied for ten years, for a New York state law making the six-day week compulsory; such ( a law, exempting railroad workers from its provision at their own re-! quest, wss enacted finally by the legislature of New York In 1913. Brotherhood officials maintain that the organization was chiefly re- j sponsible for the passage of this, L..t . J J A1 - a 1 1.1 I J I TT , VUb aula UlKb TBIUtlUIV all WAS given by various religious denomi nations. For some time during the broth erhood's fight for the six-day law In New York an officer of the Brotherhood met in daily confer ences with prominent clergymen, laymen and women In New York city. One day, according to Pres ident Healey, the conference was visited by an attorney for milk in terests, who argued that the pro posed law was limpossible inas much as consumers needed milk seven days a week. "I asked him." said Mr. Healey, "whether his clients used the same horses in delivering milk seven days a week. He said no, explain ing that the' dealers had extra horses. "'Then,' I said, Mn the name of decency get extra men. Don't put men on a level below that of horses.' That argument ap pealed to the church people rather strongly." President Healey said the offi cers of the organization "stood for justice to both employers- and em ployed," but "opposed the inhu manity of employers who take de light in starving men into submis sion, and would reduce the Amer ican common laborer to the stand ard of the man who can live off of an oil rag." Mr. Healey developed into a la bor 'leader, he said, as the result of his experiences in the stoke holes of tramp steamers In his youth, when he sailed around the world and served under many flags. "As we slaved over the fires, and the chief - machinist hounded us when we were ready to drop," said Mr. Healey, "I long ed for the time when I could hit back at those fellows." Mr. Healey served as a first class machinist in the : Spanish American. war. His son was in the World War. , ' . ! The Brotherhood is fanti t1 ih unions involved in the strike at 83; mills in New York and New Eng land against the International Pa per Co. Owing to its scattered constituency . the brotherhood has played a lone hand only in scat tered and relatively inconspicuous disputes, though it has particinat- ed in a few important strikes in as sociation with other craft unions.

FRUIT BOXES REQUIRE 63,000 KEGS OF NAILS Yakima, Wash., June 30 It will require over f 260,000 worth of nails to weld together the hoards holding the millions of boxes of this season's peaches, pears, ap ples and other fruit grown in this state. A statistician at the Fruit Grow ers' Exchange here has figured out that allowing 32 nails to the box, a million and a half of them are necessary to secure a year's crop, on the basis of the amount of fruit produced last year; And if condi tions are right this year's crop may exceed all previous ones. This number of 'nails will fill 63, 000 kegs, but hardware dealers say that is an average amount of hardware. An Immense amount of labor is expended in preparing the wood boxes for the fruit pacjters. Crews -are kept busy every, avail able moment by the big orchard ists, while the smaller ones do this work themselves, nights and holi days. An average day's work is making 300 to 400 apple boxes. A box making machine has been in vented, but little used owing to its expensive royalty. This year's apple box will cost the grower an average of 19 cents.
