muggling of aliens Into the Unl

lost serious problems before the
eparttnent of Labor. Secretury
'avis declared today In comment
ig upon efforts being rrmde to
iuie closer co-operation between
is Cuban government and the
nlted States.
The secretary was hopeful, he
ild. that negotiations between
le State Department and Cuba
ould tend to remove some of the
lstacles confronted by the Imrai
ration authorities and the Labor
epsrtment In dealing with smug-
ing operations.
Ult developed today that negotia
ma nrt thit auhforit hnifun In

jinked the Cuban legation here to
K all certain features of the s'tua-
ua
iuii to the attention of officials. In

ad sent several other inquiries to
a home government, but has re
eivert no formal reply to the
American representations.
t The latest phase of tho ronlnh
understood to have - resulted
rom a letter written to Secretary
lughes by Secretary Davis on Au-
ut 3. stating that the Labor De
srtment "has deemed it proper,
s well us advisable, to present tills
hatter (smuggling of Chln?se fr.un
uba Into toe United States) for
ie consideration of your dc-pnrt-
tent with the request 'hat if you
liprove of that course the Amerl
m minister at- Havana or other
roper representatives of this gov-
Irnment make appropriate renre-
ntatlons to the government of
uba with the object in view of

f-rially check the tnovemeift ' to
lat country of aliens of the Chi-
se race may not be Imposed u
r the lawa of that country."

wise Some Plan.
Mr. Davis also suggested that tbe
uban government "may be able
devise some plan whereby the
nurture from ports of Cuba of
aft engaged in the smuggling of
lens to our coast and who are, or
ay not be, eligible for admission
ay be materially checked.
Secretary Davis declared the La
' Department "rer-ently had a
tlier extensive investigation made
to smuggling matters on the
rida coast and its investigators
p"t some time 'n Cuba looking
!i the situation there."
According? to the best informa

lere are now in Cuba 25,000 or
.000 young Chinese, most of

Davis explained "to Secretary
Rho that "while the depart-
"nt court quite properly, in view
' their apparent lack of good
it h in the matter, prohibit the
rther transit across United States
ritory of Chinese aliens destined
r Cuba,, the futility of so doing
apparent when it is considered
at other routings from China to

the letter of Secretary Hughes on
the seating of Senator Newberry.
i of M-ichiiran, declaring that the
letUr was a plan of Republican
lenders to "make' Newberryism

Secretary Hughes in his letter,
which was made public last night
by ihe Republican National Com
mittee, ,ili clared that Senator New
berry hud been "wrongly and most
unjustly convicted.''
In his statement, Mr Hull said:
"The notional Republican lead
ers have decided to make New -

i!ie national Congressional cam
paign, una have put forward See
votary Hughes as the attorney to
sUte'the case and offer the chlof
defense. In selecting Secretary
Hugnes for this delicate and dai.-
gevouB lnHk, Republican leaders
have madb a mistake. Secretary
Hughes is only a civil lawyer
whereas this national administra
tion needs the ablest criminal law
yers to be found to defend it this

the r.'a.iig tide of popular indigna

the Department of the Meuse to-v-
in a SDeech which is aenerallv
Mrded aa the complete official
laratinn of French renarations
Iicy.
fThe necessity and Justice of the
ment of reparations by Ger-

'nch premier, wjio placed the

denied that France sought to en
slave Germany in revenge for' the

of German and French co-operation
with both nations working to

change her tactics and do her best
to repair in peace the damage she
caused in war. France was eager to

The premier spoke at length of
the divergent courses now being
taken by France and England. He
declared that it was only natural

France could not continue to bear

He went on record advocat

THE IRISH FUNDS
Supreme Court Enjoins
. Banks From Releas
ing the Monies.
NEW YORK, Aug. 21. A temp
orary injunction restraining local
banks in which are deposited some
monies collected for the Irish re
publican cause from releasing them
to Eamon de Valera or iny of his
agents was signed today by Sul
preme Court Justice Burr on appli
cation of attorneys representing
Michael Collins and other offi
cers of the Irish free state forces.
It was announced that approxi
mately $2,300,000 was tied up by
the order.
The main contention urged
against the. DeValera custody of
the Irish funds, the application for
an injunction read, was that Ire
land Is now a nation; that DeValeia
is against the present government
and is a fugitive and that he Is not
entitled to the money.
Service of complain was ordered
to be made through the insertion
of ' advertisements in papers in
England and Ireland. Most of the
funds involved are said to be de
posited with the Guaranty Trust
Company and arriman National
Bank.
If DeValera or his forces were
granted . the present funds in
American banks the free state rep
resentatives contend, it would be
devoted to the carrying on of
further revolution against the pres
ent government emd prolong need
less and unjustifiable civiixwar in
a country which ihas expressed by
the ballot Hs preference for the
Irish Free State form of govern
ment. It" further 1s stated in the ap
plication that the Irish Free State
is prepared to make good he bonds
that nations and that the quickest
way to end-the presenile volt Is to
deprive DeValera and hls aides of
funds from this country.
Payment Is Made Under
Protest and Suit
May Follow.
Stocks of the Klltmore Forest
Country Club is taxable as Initia
tion fees at the rate of JO per cent,
aceordipg fT" ruling of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, in
an opinion of July 24.
Officials of the Club state that
payments of thls tax will be made
under protest, with the view of
possibly bringing suit to- recover
as there la some question regard
ing the correctness of the Commis
sioner s ruling. .
In defining the term "initiation
fee," the regulations say: "The
term initiation fee' includes any
payment to the club required for
becoming a member, whether evi
denced by certificate of member
ship or share of stock in the club
or not. Thus, it includes the
amounts paid to such clubs or or
ganizations for stock where the
purchase of such stock is requir
ed as a prerequisite of a member
ship. This applies only to stock
purchased from the club or organ
! ization and not to amount paid
for stock purchased from retiring
members or other sources.
According to this ruling, It is
asserted, every member holding
stock in the Blltmore Forest Country-Club
will be required to pay a
tax of 10 per cent or $20, but pay
ment will be made under protest
and suit to recover will probably
follow.
The section of the tax regula
tions relating to the payment of
tax on initiation fees follows:
"That from and after January 1,
1922, there shall be levied, assess
ed, collected and paid in lieu of
the taxes imposed by Section 801
of the Revenue Act of 1918, a tax
equivalent to 10 per cent of any
amount paid on or after such date
for any period after such date, (u)
as dues or membership fees
(where the dues, or fees of an
active resident annual member are
in excess of $10 per year) to any
social, athletic, or sporting club or
organization; or (b) as initiation
fees to such club or organization,
if such fees amount to more than
$10 or of the dues Or membership
fees (not including initiation fees) ,
of an active resident annual mem
ber are in excess of $10 per year,

NEW YORK, Aug. 21. Prelim
inary to the session of the Associ
ation of. Railway Executives on
"Wednesday, when members will
vote their attitude toward propos
als of the big five brotherhoods for
ending the shop crafts strike tho
Eastern President'!) conference to
day held a secret meeting to for
mulate a policy for its 11 membeis
to promote at the national session.
What action the Eastern group,
wljicb includes several of the
most powerful lines, will finally
pursue was not Indicated, those at
tending today's meeting asserting
they had been pledged to secrecy.
The only comment was made by
L. F. Loiee, President of the Del
aware and Hudson and Chairman
of the Conference, who Issued a
statement setting forth that At
lantic Coast roads which normally
employ 161.1.19 shopmen, hail
brought their forces up to 71.5 pet
cent of that figure on August IS.
This represented an increase of
2,5 per cent over the week ending
August 11, the statement indi
cated. "It. was expected that the ratio
of Increase of August 11 would be
continued on the 18th but the oc
currences of last week put a dam
per on recruiting," said Loree.
"Nothing oun be. more destructive
than to Introduce a feeling of un
certainty into a situation such as
this."
Roads represented at the con
ference Were those which led the
opposition ,when the national body
of rail chiefs rejected President
learnings two proposals for end
ing the-strike by submitting ' the
seniority Issue to th railroad la
bor board.
The wall of silence which both
labor leaders and rail officials have
thrown about the strike negotia
tions, was maintained toduy by
both sides.
In some circles It was maintain
ed that the end of the strike Is as
distant as it was when the big Ave
leaders concluded deliberations
with the Executives last Friday
night. Others close to the sltua
tUm continued optimistic, assert
ing that a definite understanding
of the positions of both sides had
been reached, which would result
In an early settlement of the sen
iority question to the satisfaction
of the strikers, as well as present
employes.
Mr. Loree, saying that he spoke
for himself alone, later made the
following statement:
"You can quote me as saying I
stand where 1 stood from the start
' solidly against any surrender,
and it Is a surrender on the part
of the roads to give back the
strikers their seniority."
W. W. Atterbury. Vice-President
of the Pennsylvania System, told
newspaper men that th-Presldent
of the Deleware and Hudson spoke
for all of the Eastern roads.
"Mr. Loree speaks for the
bunch." he said, "and I will back
anything he says."
T. DeWItt Cuyler, chairman of
the Association of Railway Execu
tives, said he had received a tele
gram today from Senator Borah,
urging him to do all in his power
to bring the strike to an end this
week. He backed his request with
the declaration that the farmers of
the country were facing great
financial loss if transportation fa
cilities were curtailed in the com
ing crop season.. It was reported
that Mr. Cuyler did not receive
the telegram in time to reply to
Senator Borah today.
