at the White House on Wednesday. A

define the law for the guidance Of
businessmen SO that they can proceed
in a given line Of action with the
assurance they will not be harassed

London. July 9.-The worlds light
weight title changed hands on Tues
day after 20 rounds of the most re-

remarkable feature Of all is the fact
that neither Freddie Welsh. who won

Viewed from this angle Freddie

for Freddie never was even slowed up
by Richie, while the latter was COM
ing more strongly In the twentieth
than in any other round of the fight.

Affected ultImatum TO Board Of
Managers This Week.

Chicago, July ga strike by prac-
tically all the employees Of 81 railroad
lines west of Chicago Is threatened.
The executive committee Of the
freight handlers. clerks. baggagemen.
warehousemen and trainmen voted to
refer the question Of walkout to

The question of a strike by the en-
gineers and firemen was referred to
the members OF those organizations
several weeks ago. The result Of the
balloting has not been received. but
members of the executive committee
say they believe the men are unani-
nous In favor of strike.
The engineers and flremen asked
for an increase in wages. The board
of railroad managers refused Il.
After the matter had been referred to
the men other organizations of rail-
road employees attempted to have the
managers reduce their working hours
from ten to eight hours. At meet
ing held yesterday 1t was decided to
Join their organizations with those of
the engineers and firemen, and It is
likely all the employees will go out at
the same time II a strike Is deter
mined upon. An ultimatuW will be

ENMiTY TO COMMERCIAL IN
TEREsTs OF COUNTRY.
PARTY DOES NOT ANTAGoNIzE
Chief Executive In Statement Defends
Paul N. Warbur0 and T. J. Jones,
Federal Reserve Bank Board Ap-
pointees-TeiIs Senate to Confirm.

Washington, July 10.--President Will
son came to the defense OF Paul M.
Warburg In q vigorous statement
issued on Wednesday. In which he
outlined his attitude toward the
business of the country. The presi-
ident declared that he earnestly hopes
that Mr.. Warburg will reconsider his
decision to withdraw from the federal
reserve board and that he Is now urg-
Ing him to do 30. He expressed conf
dence that the nomination Of Thomas
J. Jones will be confirmed by the SEN
ate. His statement follows:
1T would be particularly unfair to
the Democratic party and to the SEN
ate itself to regard 1t as the enemy Of
business. big or little. am sure that
It does not regard a man as an object
OF suspicion merely because he has
been connected with great business
enterprises. 1t knows that the bust
ness Of the country has been chiefly
promoted in recent years by enter
prise organized on a great scale and
that the vast majority Of men con-
nected with what we have come to
call big business are honest. incor-
ruptible and patriotic. The country
may be certain that 1t Is clear to mem
bers of the senate as 1t is clear to all
thoughtful men that those who have
tried to make big business what 1t
ought to be are the men who are to
be encouraged and honored whenever
they respond without reserve to the
call Of public service.
Il predict with the greatest conf
dence that nothing done by the Dem
ocratic majority Of the senate OF the
United States will be OF a sort to
throw suspicion upon such men. Mr..
Jones and Mr.. Warburg, In manifesting
their willingness to make personal
sacrifices and put their great expert
ence and ability at the service OF the
government without thought Of per-
sonal advantage in the organization OF
the great reform which promises to be
80 serviceable to the nation. are setting
an example OF patriotism and public
spirit which the whole country ad-
mires. 1t Is the obvious business OF
statesmen at this turning point In
our development to recognize ability
and character wherever 1t has been
displayed and unite every force for
the upbuilding of legitimate business
along the new lines which are now
clearly indicated for the future"
The presidents statement is taken
to mean that he will fight to the last
ditch for the confirmation Of both
Jones and Warburg. He has decided
on this course because he believes the
issue raised by the senate committee
on banking and currency should be
met. Mr.. Warburg may reconsider his
resignation.
