THOUSANDS LAID OFF
President of Locomotive Works Tells
Of Present Conditions.

Philadelphia, June 25.-Alba b.
Johnson, president Of a locomotive
works in Philadelphia, employing
19,5OO men when running full-hand-
ei, told the United States Commission
on Industrial Relations here yester-
day that the force of employees has
been reduced from maximum OF 49,
500 men employed within the last Is
months to $500 at present. He added
that the hours CT employment of the
day men have been cut from the nor
NAL time of 50 hours a week to DO,
and the night shift from G5 hours to
50 a week.
Asked by Commissioner Harris
Weinstock, of California, what, in his
opinion, was the cause that compe!leI
the reduction in men and hours, Mr..
1Johnson said:
RAILROAD equipment and supply
companies, car builders and such are
sharing in the depression which is due
to the delay of the Interstate Com
omission in decidins the freight rate
question"
Taking up unionism the witness
said he did not believe it wise to
recognize or deal with union labor.
Union men are employee in the
works and kept at work so long as
they are efficient, he said. "We be-
jIeve organized labor levels down
ward" he added, "that it deprives the
earnest, ambitious boy of chance to
rise; destroys ambition and Initiative.
! We believe that it is impossible in
union shop to reach the efficiency that
is possible under nonunion labor"

In discussing the present tendencies
in newspapers, Mr.. Marshall deplored
the publication Of details of CRIME and
said that he believed fully half the
serious and dangerous crime OF the
country is suggestive, inspired by
reading the detailed accounts of
crimes published in the newspapers.
He also .3eplored what he termed
the unmalicious Misrepresentation of
speeches. This he ascribed to the
fact that the reporter is looking for
headlines while the speaker is seeking
to avoid thdr,. He said, however,
that the necessity for condensation
and the publication of what the public
demands, makes failure to report the
serious phases of speech inevitable.
Reforms in the policies of news
papers must come from the outside,
not from the inside" said Mr..
Marshall. "It is not the man who
writes, but the~znan man who reads
the newspapers who is responsible for
present conditions if they are not what
they should be in the republic

Mayor Fisher again welcomed the

GET TOGETHER TALK
Carranzista Delegates VIII Main
tain that Mexican Internal Affairs
F.. Are Not Subjects of Mediation.

Niagara Falls, Ontario, June 25.-
Peace in Mexico is still far from as
sured. Hailed at first as the success
full outcome of mediation, it was ap-
parent today, fro mthe feeling of the
group of men here trying to solve the
Mexican problem, that the A. B. c.
mediators have merely shifted their
burden.
Agreement so far reached provides
for "get together" session of Huer-
tistas and CarranZitas for settlement
of Mexico's internal problems.
Notwithstanding persistent reports
that Carranzista delegates were en-
route here, the feeling today that the
constitutionalist first chef probably
would stick to his oft-repeated decla-
ration that Mexico's internal affairs
were not subject for mediation of
any kind, and that he would refuse
peace negotiations now that Villas
army has moved one step nearer Mex
leo City, in the capture of Zacatecas.
1t was apparent today that the med
iators themselves have absolutely no
assurance that Carranza is likely to
send delegates here for conference
with the Huerta representatives. If
the first chief does not it was the gen.
eral view that the mediators would
never resume their conferences; that
the Mexican problem would be held
unsolved.
Pending some word from Carranza,
mediation proceedings will halt. AM
bassador Nlaon will leave today and
Ambassa ors Suarez and Da CANA
will merely be on hand in case the
conferences of Huerta and Carranza
delegates can be arranged.

CONTEND OP|ATE
 ORDINANCE VALID

Little Rock, Aug. 2O.-City Attor- ney Mehaffy says that the opinion of Attorney General Moose that the re- gently adopted anti-narcotic ordinance of this city is void and unenforcible, does not nullify the law, and that it is just as much in force now as it was before. He contends that the prohibi- tions contained in the ordinance come within the police power of city.
 Alderman R. c. Powers, lawyer, takes issue with the attorney general, and contends that the ordinance is perfectly valid, as the courts are talk ing liberal view of such legislation, holding that where the public welfare is concerned, it is not necessary for city to confine itself strictly to the things specifically set forth in the statutes. It is probable that a test case will be made, in order to de-. termine the validity of the ordinance, which all reputable physicians and druggists have approved as just and necessary measure.

ArkansasRive Bot. tom Land For
 Sale

l have large body of as rich land as there is in the world that I will sell in small lots on long time and at low rate of interest to poor men. I don't want to sell one man more than he can pay for, therefore, I think it would be best for no one if he is poor to buy more than 40 acres. Twenty acres of land like this, we'll improved, would be a valuable asset for any one.
 I will sell on such terms that the land can be paid for with less annual payments than is now being paid for the rent of good land. I have just fin ished draining this land; have about all of it fenced, some of it cleared and all deadened. Any one buying it would have to bind themselves to make certain Improvements each year. l would only require the payment of the interest for the first four or five years. If you are interested, write me at Little Rock, Ark, or see MT. G. H. Thompson on the land, about ten miles southwest of Conway.
