In his statement, Mr Hull said: "The notional Republican lead ers have decided to make New - le.-ryiHn tne" paramount issue in 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 year. In a desperate effort to check the r.'a.iig tide of popular indigna tion due to the fact that the IS months record of this administra- Idn nnd its Congress contains more elements of complete failure thun ar.y or all their predecessors republican leaders have felt obliged to single out this one issue and make, it paramount as the only means of diverting public at, tcntion from many other issues, deemed btill more damaging. It was evidently decided that Secrc ta:y Hughes might dramatize New.beriyisin in such an attractive way as to draw attention - fruin the tremendously destructive effects of the,Republlcan industrial piinc of 1921-22, and from thi contused, lopsided, uncertain and demoralized state of business, in dustrial, economic and social con ditions of the nation which the Re publican administration and thi Republican Congress have not CoaHmutf m Ttm Tim Hard Coal Strike Anthracite Miners and Op erators Meet Again This A fternoon PHILADELPHIA.

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, PIAXE KV KOCTE SOUTH AMERICA XRCEJ DOW NASSAU,' New Providence, Baham as, Aug. 21.

ANY SURRENDER IS OPPOSED BY LOREE Ask Labor Organizations For Contribution to Assist Strikers. 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. Trainmen, Switchmen, Clerks To Decide Today Whether The Walkout Is Made Permanent SI'E.WKIt. N.
