HARDING TO TAKE;
UP LEAGUE issue
WITH COL. HARVEY
Nominee May See Others
While He Is Framing
Speech on Question.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MARION Ohio, August 21.-Col.
George Harvey, the New York editor,
was on Senator Harding's calling list
today and it was understood that the
league of nations issue was one of the
prominent subjects to be discussed at
their conference. 1t was said that the
nominee might see several others VINO
have been particularly interested in
the league fight while he is framing
his speech on the league issue, to be
delivered here aaweek from today.
watches Root Conferences.
The conferences now in progress
between Elihu Root and leading Eu-
ropean statesmen for organization of
an International court of justice are
being closely watched by Senator
Harding as he formulates his policy
of a world understanding" for pres
ervation of peace.
The republican nominee revealed
that he considered the international
court conferences to hold important
possibilities, and added that the plan
evolved there might become an ele-
ment in the political campaign as
alignments develop on the league. of
nations issue.
tary Of State, was author of tthe league
plank in the republican national plat
form. and after his return to this coun-
try is expected to confer on the subject
ith Senator Harding. Thus far the nom
inee has not been informed of all the
details of the conferences abroad,
though he is understood to be familiar
with much of the progress made in
laying down the principles OF an in
ternational tribunal.
A more detailed statement of the
republican stand on the league issue
is to be made by Senator Harding III
his address here to delegation from
Indianapolis, and it is understood lhat
in pronouncing the principles on
which he thinks a society of nations
should rest he will give conspicuous
notice to the work of Mr.. Root and his
colleagues.
Whether the Root proposal will, in
fact. become the basis of republican
league plan has not been revealed.
but Senator Harding expressed graft
fication today at the progress of the
conferences abroad and said he hoped
soon to hear more details.

The Post Office Department today
filed with the retirement division of

understood that the Washington navy

All this late filing of claims will
throw tremendous amount of work
on the shoulders of the pension bu-

somewhat doubtful at this time as to
whether the first annuity checks will
be sent to annuitants the first of the

Every effort will be made. however

1t is pointed out that after these
first annuitants receive their checks
the flow of other applications for an

will settle down to more or less
routine matter. But these first cases
have certain something attached to
them that is unique. and every step
is being taken to get their annuity
checks to them as soon as possible.

Plotters Who Planned
Assault.

CHICAGO. August 21.-Seven men.
one wounded, are under arrest today
as result of an early morning riot
resulting from a clash between about
a hundred railroad men and an equal
number of strikers. Scores of shots
were exchanged, bottles. sticks and
stones were thrown and heads were
broken before police, responding to
riot calls, broke up the fight.
The riot was an outgrowth of fre-
quent attacks by striking railroad
men on the workers who refused to
walk out last April in the unauthor-
lied railroad strike. Last night, ac-
cording to police, Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen men employed on
the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern railroad
learned of an alleged plot for attack
on them by strikers. They armed and
set out in body looking for the plot
ters. The two factions met at 9Ist
street in the early morning hours and
opened fire. Several men are believed
10 have been wounded, but all save
one were carried away when police
arrived.

OF LATV|AN OFFICIAL
Alfred Nagel, Held in New York,
Regarded an Undesirable

Latvia has been asked by the United
States to recall Alfred Nagel, bearing
credentials as Latvian secretary OF
legation, who is being detained at
New York by the immigration au-
thorities. 1t was stated officially to-
day that Nagel was regarded by the
American government as an unde-
sirable resident and would not be per-
mitted to enter the country.
The State Department and the i'm
migration bureau are working in ac-
cord in Nagel's case, officials said. In
this connection ii was learned that
some time ago a cablegram was sent
to Riga asking that Nagel be not per-
mitted to leave there for New York,
hut it appears that he sailed before
the cablegram was received.
Oficials would not say why the

Postmaster Selph Highly

Oscar F. Nelson, a Department of

ordeSed to ST. Louis to undertake a
settlement of the controversy there
between Postmaster Selph and post
Office clerks.
The Department of Labor acted on
a telegram sent to President Wilson
by Thomas F. Flaherty. secretary of
the National Federation of Post Office
Clerks. who stated sthat Postmaster
Selph had threatened to dismiss 300
postal clerks because of their refusal
to permit the postmaster to select
officers of their organization.
President Wilson was informed that
a complete tie-up of mail in ST. Louis
was likely to result from the con-
troversy. and that it was useless to
send post office inspectors, as they
are under dominion of Burleson, and
therefore would seek to justify action.
