postoffice into sort of retail store.
This plan is declared to be imprac-
ticable, and the result to be that after
weeks of investigation and much loud
denunciation of the failure of the Dem
ocratic administration to deal salts
factorily with the problem the Repub
mending that the War Department
shall pursue course which it may
either reject as absurd or take up
with certain failure and thereby place
the final blame for bungling the dis
position of the goods on the Repub-
licans.
The Republicans were "put in this
hole" by the course Of some forty
members of the party in voting in op-
position to the floor leadership. This
party blunder, as it is characterized,
is considered serious not only in itself
but as revealing a deplorable state of

hereafter.

ut has been said," remarked one Of
the disgruntled leaders to-day, "that
the Republicans in the House lack
leaders. The truth is that they lack
followers"
"Too many of our men acquired such
a habit of voting with the Democrats
during the war;" said another leader
who insists on a disciplinary caucus,

Democratic members of the House
are greatly elated over what they call

''Old Crads'' School
Pledges Harvard
Men to Endowment
Sill, 100000 Mobile Fund,
Without Amy Strings to
Different Gifts, Held as
university's Real Need
Staff Correspondeuce

Staff Correspondence
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 30.-Fig-
urative sheepskins were distributed
to-day to the graduating class of the
"old grads school," IN session here
for the last three days to study the
means of raising $1l 100000 as an en-
dowment fund for Harvard.
The three days of "school,' the
graduates said as they left tonight
for their homes throughout the coun-
try, were as strenuous as any in their
professional, business or financial
careers. Before they went d complete
and thorough organization of Harvard
men the world over had been effected
with the aim OF carrying on a cam
paign which will replensh IIarvard's
Golfers before next October.
The entire world has been laid out
into divisions and the United States
into many parts, each section with
a division chairman.
Overlapping of endowment funds
which has resulted in comparative al
fuence for some departments while
others are entirely unprovided for
was found by the "old grads" to be
the chief reason for HarvarG's financial
condition. Donors to the university,
they said, had attached so many
strings to their gifts that the money
could be devoted only to purposes for
which, in many cases. provision pre-
viously had been made.
The pressing requirement, they
agreed. was a mobile fund which could
be devoted to needs as they arise and
not be limited, as are most Of
Harvard's bequests, to specific uses.
"Those who would help Harvard"
said Eliot Wadsworth, '9S, chairman Of
the executive committee of the fund,
would do we'll to assist in the pro-
vision of working fund by making
their gifts entirely unconditional"

English Coal Miners to
Vote on ''Direct Action"

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The coal miners
In conference here today declared
themselves in favor of taking a ballot
on the question Of direct action" and
resolved to vote in favor of such a
ballot at Thursdays meeting of the
triple alliance" Of the transport
workers, miners, and railway men.
The miners adopted the recommen-
dalton of the national executive COM
mittee that the government scheme
for dealing with coal miners be re-
jected, and decided to agitate for nat
ionalization of the mines at the trades
union congress at Glasgow on Sep
TENDER 8.
William Brace, member of parlia-
ment for Monmouthshire and presi-
dent of the South Wales Miners fed
Grafton, said that "coal is more val
liable than gold" Mr.. Brace asked
why the government trifed with a
product so essential to the reconstruc-
ton of the nation, and asserted that
the only solution Of the problem was
the naturalization of the mines.
The national executive committee
rejected the scheme of Premier Lloyd
would buy out the owners Of the coal
lands who receive royalties from min
ing companies, give the miners a
share in the control of the mines, or
ganize the mines into districts, and
establish a fund for improving the
living conditions of miners, as "whol
ly impracticable" and one creating
great trusts

CARSON RESUMES HIS
FIGHT ON HOME. RULE.

BELFAST, Sept. 4.-"Let the world
know this-that whether you agitate
in America or on the continent or
anywhere else, England will brook no
interference"
With this blast Sir Edward. Carson,
Chieftain of Ulster, today reopened
his fight against the home rule plan
here. 1t was an emphatic repetition
Of his speech Of July II, when he
warned America to mind her own
business" and mot to interfere with
the Irish question"
While Carson was urging the Ulster
ties to resume their pre-war anti-home
rule organization, which threatened
revolution early in 1914, another thou
sand troops were disembarged in Ire
land and hurried to the northern coun-
ties where, it is said, 10000 are to be
mobilized
Carson said further in his speech:
obstetrics SO value their British
citizenship that they are prepared to
fight for it. Anybody who says Ulster
does not want a settlement of the
Irish question is stating a ridiculous
falsehood. But it must be a settle
ment, not a surrender

tenance and repairs for the county
tuberculosis hospital was made, and

pleted the list.

airy of the pauper attorney was re-
duced from $500 to 500, and the diff
ference added onto the salary Of the
county attorney, who gets $500.
Assessment costs were readjusted
and the appropriation for assessing
was reduced in four townships. The
salary of the county poor farm sup
erintendent was given a further in
crease by the council, over the recent
raise made by the commissioners,
making the total raise for the year,
$3.50.
Members of the Hagerstown Fair
association asked that the appropria-
ton for next years fair be withheld
until needed by the association. The
council favored an appropriation of
$500 for the fair, but did not include
1t in the budget, at the request of
the association.

daring animal educators before the
public. Marguerite Ricardo does a
stunt with pumas and Martha F1orine
puts a group of Persian leopards
through difficult tricks. Venus Fash
ion, from India, who is making her
first tour of the United States, does
Daniel act in the lion den.

there are number of splendid acts,
with fifty dogs taking part. Jip, one
of the cleverest dogs known, leaps
over a pyramid of 20 men. Bert Den

FRIENDS WILL HOLD
conferences BEFORE
YEARLY MEET HERE

Plans are under way for a series Of
preliminary and preparatory confer
ences of American Friends with q
group of British Friends who will ar.
rive in this country soon, in the inter-
ests of the All World conference
which was to have been held in Lon
don this August, but which has been
postponed on account Of war condi-
tion, to August, 1920, it was announced
at the American Friends headquarters

Edward Grubb and J. w. Harvey
Theobald, two prominent Quakers, are
among those coming. According to
information received at the Friends
headquarters here from Rufus Jones
of Philadelphia, ont meeting will be
held in that city; one In Richmond
and probably another in Oskaloosa,
Iowa.
The English, who will be hosts to.
the delegates of the Friends churches
throughout the world conceived the
plan of informal preliminary meetings
some time ago, feeling that definite
arrangements for the conference could
be better consumated If the communi-
ties sending delegates had an oppor-
tunity to discuss the plans in advance.
Although it is not yet decided, the
Richmond conference may be held i'm
mediately previous or following the
annual Indiana Yearly meeting here,

PLENTY OF WORK
IS REPORT MADE
BY LOCAL PLANTS
Room for Skilled Men in AL
most Every Factory of City
Common Labor Plentiful.

While some local factories have
plenty Of workmen, several need skill
ed men in all lines, and there is big
opening for unskilled labor at several
places, according to a survey Thursday
of local factories.
The need for men is at the peak, 1t
is indicated, and no man in Richmond
need go without work. Reports from
several factories follow.
The employment agent Of the
American Seeding Machine company
says that the A. 8. M. is receiving the
usual amount of applications for skill
ed labor, but there is a lack Of COM
mon labor, due to the amount Of out
door construction working going on.
The Seidel Buggy company is in
good shape, according to the manager,
who has an opening for. two skilled
brushmen. He says he has no trouble
keeping good workmen.
Reliance Has Problem.
The strike trouble has made the
employment problem rather bad
at the Reliance Foundry, says the en-
ployment man. This company has re-
ceived few applications for work in the
last ten days, which is due more or
1883 10 tuo dutdkOulSllC dtIlluuc d.
sumed by the strikers.
The Jenkins Vulcan Springs com
pany has room for several experienced
mechanics, but is filed up in all other
departments. However, the company
has received an unusual number of
applications for common labor.
The Pilot Motor company has no
openings at present although number
of unskilled laborers who have applied
for work.
The Natco employment Is about on
par. with the usual number of skilled
laborers and plenty of common labor
ers, according to their employment de-
partment.
The Wayne Works has probably
been hit harder than any other local
factory by the employment problem.
The need is for a number Of unskilled
iaborers. who are exceedingly hard to
get this time Of year, with the vast
amount of outdoor construction work
going on. This company has openings
for assembly men. core and body
makers, wood working men and men
for the shipping room. Several other
plants report that they can use men.

Flying Popular Sport
of WEIGH Workingmen
(By Associated Press)

SWANSEA, Wales, Sept. 4-The
vacation season is furnishing ample
evidence that South Wales. once noted
because of the low wages Of Its peo-
pie. is now enjoying a prosperity
which admits of luxuries for miners
and their families hitherto unknown.
Golfers who easily make $40 a week
even at their seven-hour day, and
steel workers who make $50, are
much in evidence, their particular
sport being flying. Some of them
have been up in the pleasure flying
machines half dozen times, and ev-
cry time 1t cost them SIS. Many Of
them have their own motorcycles,
and some have automobiles, an I'M
heard OF extravaganza even in the mu-
milton manufacturing days.
But the aristocrat Of all workmen
about Swansea is the coal trimmer
who works on the docks. Five Of
them work together and experience no
difficulty whatever in clearing up 500
a week. They have 80 much work to
do that the best Of them frequently
have to sublet their turns to lesser
paid men and thus they earn more
while they sleep.
General cargo workers loading and
unloading ships easily earn from $40
to $50 a week, while foremen who
have share in earnings of each gang
under them frequently count $3.50 for
weeks labor
Contrasted with the wages paid be-
fore the war, the figures given are al
most unbelievable, for South Wales
was known as one of the poorest paid
districts even in Great Britain.

Jazz Is Declared on
Last Legs in England

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The Jazz" is
metaphorically, il not literally. on its
last legs here in the opinion of Charles
d. Albert, secretary of the Imperial So
ciety Of Dance Teachers, who has
told a reporter that he believed the
old waltz was coming back.
THE Fox Trot," he said, els only
popular because it consists almost en-
tirely of simple walk movements,
frontwards. backwards. sideways and
sliding. Therefore it is easy. The
trois temps waltz was difficult, he said.
A man might practice it all his life
and then not be a good waltzer. A
good Walter must be born. 1t de-
mands swing, gait, and lissomness."
