CONAN DOYLE URGES
ARMOR FOR TROOPS
Author Insists Steel Helmets and
Breastplates Would Greatly
Reduce Losses.

London, July 27.-Sir Arthur Conan
DOYLE, in a letter to "The Times" advo-
eating the use of armor by British
troops, says:
"Such actions as that of May 9, where
several brigades lost nearly half their
numbers in endeavoring TO rush over
the 800 yards which separated us from
the German trenches, must make IT
clear that il is absolutely impossible
for unprotected troops TO pass over
zone which is swept by machine guns.
Therefore, you must either forever
abandon such attacks, or you must ma
artificial protection for the men. 1t
has always seemed TO me extraordinary
that the innumerable cases where a
Bible, cigarette case, watch or some
other chance article has saved man
life have not set us to schemlng so as
to do systematically what has so often
been the result of happy chance.
The writer suggests that each man
should wear a helmet, two plates OF
highly tempered steel not more than
a foot in diameter, one. over the heart
and the other over the abdomen. lie
goes on:
with these three precautions the
death rate should be greatly reduced
from rifle and machine gun fire, as also
from shrapnel. Nothing, of course,
will avail against a direct shellburst.

THETUS SIMS SEEKS

Other Neglects Duty, Says
Tennessee Representative.

Washington, July Exchanging that
Senator Luke Lea, of Tennessee, has
been absent on more than half the roll
calls during the last four years, Rep
resentative Tnetus W. Sims, author of
the Panama Canal tolls repeal act, to-
day announced his candidacy to sue
coed Lea.
Judging from some of his political
acts, our Senator can only be charac-
terized as a political despot," SAID Mr..
Sims, who, if he had the power, would
not permit any man to hold any state
or Federal Office who was personally
or politically offensive to him.
After making all due allowances, his
absence from the Senate has been so
persistent and so continuous as to
establish beyond a reasonable doubt
absolute and wilful neglect of duty. In
deed, he is the first Senator from Ten
nessee, so far as the records show,
against whom compulsory process of
the Senate had to be issued to compel
his attendance, and that, too, at time
when his own party was in power in
when an administration measure of the

new FACTORY BILL
MENACES WORKERS
Amendment Would Wipe
Out Safeguards for
Women and Children.
URGE BAN ON WORK
IN ALL TENEMENTS
Convention Committee Says
Such a Measure Would Pre-
vent Much tuberculosis.

tFrom star Correspondent, Of The Trbunel
Albany, July 26.-All the safeguards
thrown around the employment OF
women and children in canneries and
other factories are endangered by
proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton reported favorably tonight by the
Committee on Industrial Relations, OF
which Herbert Parsons is chairman.
The proposal would permit the Legis-
lature to delegate to the State Indus
trial Board the right TO modify, vary
or supplement any law or regulation.
While its hackers declare that IT aims
to permit a more elastic Interpretation
Of a law which works too rigidly in
some cases, they admit that il may lead
to grave abuses and that under its
provisions women and children might
be worked ~ or even 1873 hours a week.
There is no doubt that the language
of the proposal should be changed to
prevent any abuse of power" said SEN
ator Robert F. Wagner, who helped in
the fight by The Tribune during the
last session against the Thou week
cannery bill.
The same committee reported favor
ably a proposal prohibiting work in
tenements. It's report says:
Tenement manufacturing breeds
tuberculosis. We spend vast sums or
money to cure tuberculosis, large
amount Of which is caused by manu-
featuring in tenements, which we do
not prevent. To allow manufacturing
in dwellings operates unfairly against
enlightened manufacturers who prefer
TO have their employees work in SAN
itary surroundings.
Zone of the worst features is the use
of child labor in dwellings. Very young
children can be and are employed:
Their employment cannot be prevented
because it would require an army OF
inspectors to prevent it. As soon as
an inspector enters tn ground floor OF
tenement house, the children on the
other floors can be dismissed from
their work, and the inspector finds moth
ing II also leads to lack OF school at
tendance"
The various committees reported to
the convention tonight that their work
was very near completion. Most an
nounced that they would be through
either this or next week, while only a
few unimportant committees reported
their labors would extend beyond Au-
gust 10.
Adjournment, however, is not ex-
pected before early in September. One
dota suooeJted by leaders is SeOtenn-
Der 4.
I'VE shall have to work hard to set
through by September IT, George W.

If adjournment is delayed until Sep
