England Faces Serious Crisis.

London.-The railroad strike situa-
ton has become the gravest in the his
tory of any labor crisis of the British
empire in the present generation. All
efforts of the transport workers fed
GRAFTON to find bridge to enable re-
newal of negotiations between the gov
eminent and the national union of rail-
way men failed.
! The governments proposal for a
seven-day truce for the railroad men
to return to work and permit resump-
ton of negotiations on the disputed
points, coupled with the offer by the
government to resort to arbitration
in the event of failure to reach an
agreement has been rejected by the
railway mems union and the whole
possibility of mediation for the mo-
ment seems to have completely col
lapsed.
An appeal has been made by the
government for citizen army to pro-
tect peaceable citizens and to aid in
the work of maintaining the supply
of food.

TEDOWN CHANGES
FIRST TEST VOTE ON TREATY
AMENDMENTS is TAKEN.
BUT FOUR REQUIRED ROLL CALL
Thir1y-two Rejected BY. Unanimous
Consent Advocates of Pact
Elated Over the Victory.

Washington, D. Cat last reaching
the stage of action in it's consideration
of the peace treaty, the senate swept
aside in quick succession thirty-six Of
the forty-fve amendments which had
been written into the document by the
foreign relations committee.
The smallest majority as recorded
against any of the committee propos-
ais was fifteen and the largest was
twenty-eight All of the amendments
considered had been introduced by
Senator Fall, republican, New Mexico,
and were designed to curtail American
participation in European settlements
resulting from the war.
OF the nine amendments yet to be
acted on, six relate to the Shantung
section, two propose to equalize voting
power in the league of nations and one
would limit American representation
on the reparations commission. In the
absence of definite agreement for dis
position Of these proposals, senate
leaders thought that the debate might
run on for several days before another
roll call is taken.
The democrats presented solid
front against the amendments, except
for Senators Gore of Oklahoma and
Thomas of Colorado.
Seventeen republicans, on the other
hand, lined up against the first COM
mittee proposal to be considered and
most of them stood with the democrats
on all succeeding roll calls. Many Of
them announced they were for reser-
vations which they believed would
cover the same ground without endan-
gering the treaty.
Following the senate's action treaty
advocates declared themselves elated
and the opposition leaders also were
claiming victory on the showing
made for their amendments.
There were only four roll calls, the
other amendments, three in all, being
vote down by reclamation.

MANY DIE IN RIOTS
WHITES AND BLACKS in SOUTH
FIGHT DEADLY BATTLE.
TWENTY OREP0RTEOK|LlED
Negroes melted to Revolt Propa.
gandists-Troops Rushed to Scene
of the Disturbance.

Helena, Ark.-Tke death toll in two
days of race war at Elaine, Ark, near
here, stands at twenty-five, five whites
and seventeen negroes
The rioting situation. although in
tensified by the murder of Alderman
o. r. Lilly by four negroes whom he
was guarding in an automobile, is we'll
in hand. More than 500 soldiers are
patrolling he.riot districts.
Besides the known dead several
negroes were reported to have been
killed during the rioting.
The posse, which had ridden to the
scene of Lilly's death, shot and
killed the four negroes.
Governor Brough, at whose request
500 soldiers were sent to the dis
trict, is confident that the military
forces and the civil officers were
enough to control the rioters.
According to the information given
to officials, negroes have been organ
izing for the past few weeks by hold
ing secret meetings, drills and form
/ ing mystic organizations.
They are said to have purchased
high-powered rifles and were preparing
| to force their demands on the whites
in this section and on the government
that they be paid so cents pound
for their cotton.
A large amount of literature tend
ing to show that the outbreak was due
to propaganda circulated among negro
tenant farmers, making roseate prom
tses If the negroes would baud to-
gether and arm themselves, has been
taken possession of by military and
civil authorities. The agitators, the
literature indicates, represented them
selves as agents of the federal govern
ment and gave promise of so cents a
pound to be paid for cotton direct to
the small farmer to replace the method
of settlement now in force between
the landowner and tenant.
One report said to have been Cir
culated among the negroes was that
strike of cotton pickers was to be
declared in a few days and tenant
farmers would be expected to remain
idle until after the coming meeting of
the world cotton congress in New
Orleans, when delegation was to
come to the cotton belt to adjust mat
ters with the negro cotton raisers.

azines To Quit Business.

New York.-Ten thousand members
of local printing trades unions EN-.
ployed in $50 local plants, which pub.
lish virtually all the trade journals
and magazines issued here and large
percentage of the books, were forced
out of work by a simultaneous "lock-
OUT and "strike" This action follows
the refusal of the employers to grant
44-hour week and weekly increase
of $14 in all wage scales.
The most important development
was the strike of $50 compositors in
support of the striking printers and
in defiance of the International Typo
graphical Union, which, with the othei
international bodies, has denounced
the strike and "outlawed' the striking
pressmen.
John Adams Thayer, executive Sec
rotary of the Periodical Publishers
association, announced the list of per-
iodicals of national circulation which
have suspended publication to join in
the lockout. They include Golfers,
Christian Herald, Metropolitan, Cur

GOVERNORS FAVOR BUDGET SYSTEM

Gov. Henry ]. Allen Of Kansas
says Of the movement to establish
national budget system: 1.-THE war
emphasized strongly the inadequacies
Of our legislative machinery in prob
lens of national finance. No private
business concern would dare to rush
blindly into things as does congress.
This is because congress lacks sound
system Of providing public money for
the operation of the Ten major execu-
tive departments. The work Of these
agencies can be established only
through the adoption of a new method
Of budgetary procedure"
Governor Allen is one of % gov
errors who are reported by the ma
tional budget committee to favor the
substitution Of the budget system for
the present system Of departmental es-
Inmates The governors made many

JAMES R. RIGGS A BORN FARMER

The new assistant secretary of ag-
riculture, James r. Riggs, is a farmer
not merely by way of interest in the
subject, but by lifelong, practical APP
plication. Farming has been his pri-
mary occupation all his life. More
than that, he is a farmer by heredity.
His grandfather, Hezekiah Riggs, was
born on a farm in Eoudon county, Vir-
ginia, in 1901. When he was twenty
two years old he moved to Sullivan
county, Indiana, and engaged in farm
ing and live stock growing. There
Commodore Perry Riggs, father of the
assistant secretary, was born and
there he spent his life as farmer and
stock grower. All Of his sons and all
of his sons sons have been farmers.

burn, Ind, February IL, 1865. For two
years after graduation from the Sulli-
van county high school, in 1882, he
