No Doubt Church
VIII Stand Firm

ANY fear that may have existed
concerning the disposition of the lead
ers of the Interchurch World Move
ment to continue their investiga-
tions into Industrial conditions has
been dispellcd by a statement recent
~ issued by Bishop Francis j. Nc
Council and DR.. Daniel A. Polling,
chairman and vice chairman, respect
lively, of a commission that recently
surveyed the steel industry and made
report that is at once the most eX
haustive and most condemnatory Of
the autocracy of Garyism that has
ever been published.
When this report was ready for
the public large business interests,
mpeled by the steel industry, made
every effort to prevent its publica-
ton. When coercion and criminal
methods did not avail the interests,
they withdrew from the Interchurch
Movement promised financial help
and the machinery of the co-opera-
tive effort came to dead stop.
1t was quite generally apprehended
then that there would be no further
inquiry into industrial situations that
are inflaming workers and creating
unhealthy social and Industrial rela-
tons.
The eminent churchmen who have
addressed open letters to the public
and to the steel corporation have
raised the hopes of those who rec
ognized the good this commission
was capable Of doing. They declare
that their findings are fully justified
by recent developments, and adhere
to their original position that a great
~dustry Will witness renewal of
strife unless the public intervenes
and forces the kings of steel and fl
nance to deal with their workers in
conformity with accepted American
ideas.
They ask the steel men if the
blacklist and the spy system are the
industrys pride, and assure them
that the public Will be satisfied with
nothing short Of reasoned discussion
Of the facts disclosed and action
thereon. Men responsible for the live
of more than 100000 humans must
make reply to inquiries addressed to
them by well-meaning men, and they
must reply without delay.

HATFIELD, Ky, April 2.--A ma chine gun squad of the state national guard was on duty here tonight fol- lowing a report that a second attack was to be made on Mayfield tobacco chutes by night riders as a result of the recent decline in the price of to- bacco.

lHepuOliCdn A. P. Leased WircI
 CHICAGO, April 2.-More than 200 farmers, commission men and millers today attended hearing conducted by Secretary Meredith of the department of agriculture, on alleged unfairness of specified tions for wheat grades. Farm CTS asserted that specifications for number one wheat, in which most Of the trading is done at present, called for a grade so perfect that it was diff cult to fill orders.
 Harry N. Owen, who represented spring wheat growers in Minnesota and North and South Dakota, read a list of notifications requested by the states he represented. MT. Owen said farm CTS were becoming discouraged because of high grade standards.
 "TEe qualifications are far too severe,n he said. Unless something is done this year the farmers will plant only 50 per cent of the former acre. age"
 E. D. MeDougal of the grain com mission of the Chicago board of trade, denounced the request of the farmers as unfair. If the government grants ism to the spring wheat grower and disorder in trading will follow" he said.
 A. L. Goetzmann of La Crosse, Wis, president of the national millers fed eration, charged that the present grad ing of spring wheat was low.
 F. O. Paddock of the Toledo produce exchange introduced a resolution from the board of directors of that body pro- testing against any change in federal wheat grades F.. A. Beeson of Okla homa. c. c. Doherty of the corn ex- change of Buffalo and R. O. Clark of St. Louis, also said they were against any change.
 Secretary Meredith promised to give the question careful consideration, but said it was too early to give any indi- cation of what his decision might be.

 MICHIGAN CAMPAIGN
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

DETROIT, April 2.-Senator Hiram w. Johnson of California came back to Michigan tonight to close his campaign for presidential preferment in Mon days primaries.
 Discussing after the war problems, Senator Johnson said he had no fear of a socialist upheaval, that the country was in no danger of revolution, but that he did fear reaction.
 There are sinister forces at work, '' he said, ''to take away the progress the people have made in the last few dec ades. Social justice is the only cure for anarchy"
 The senator expressed contempt for two classes of men that have arisen since the war patrioteerS and profiteers."
 He characterized his campaign as s'an experiment in politics.
 If I can prove" he said, ''that a man who has no great wealth and who will not tie himself up with those who aim to exploit the government of the United States can win, will have done a great thing for the generations to come. In this campaign the contribu- tions that have been made in behalf of some candidates are scandalous.''

SOLDIER RELIEF
 BILL APPROVED
 BY COMM I TEE
IRepubIican A. P.Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Soldier re- lief legislation with probable provision for a cash bonus. funds for which was approved today by the house ways and means committee by a vote of 15 to 6. Details of the bill to be recom- mended will be worked out by suc- committees to be appointed Monday.
 Members of the committee hope to obtain final action by the house before the contemplated recess for the na- tional political conventions. but they express doubt when action by the sen- ate could be had at this session.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, re- publican leader, after a conference to- day with other senate republicans as to future legislation in the senate, said he thought this would include a bill to give money bonus to former service men, with provisions for a special tax to raise the necessary funds. The pro- gram approved by the house commit tee declares againstAa bond issue. It is Representative Longworth, republican, Ohio, and was discussed at great length in executive session.
 Provides Alternative
 While the exact form of the legiSla- ton was not decided upon, committee discussion was said to nave lndlcateQ approval of a plan of extending voca- tional education as an alternative to the cash bonus. These two plans are a part of the American legion's pro- gram. Its other selected form of gov ernment aid to soldiers and sailors for building homes or obtaining ownership of farms were said by some members of the committee to involve too many difficulties to be worked out by legis- lation before the recess.
 Spok esmen for the committee said it was planned to have the final draft of the legislation ready for subrnis- sion to the house within a fortnight It was said that there had been no de- cision as to whether the bonus would be paid in a lump sum or be graduated according to the length of service of each individual.
 The program is said to have the ap- proval of the republican leaders of the house, assuring early consideration for it

SAY RESOLUTION
 IF PEACE TO JET SENATE SUPPORT
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Prompt adoption by the senate of the house resolution declaring the state of war with Germany at an end is expected by republican leaders. They had a con- ference today to discuss future legis- lation at this session and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts said late to- day that. he did not anticipate any great delay in the senate.
 Mir. Lodge, who returned today from a brief vacation, said the whole con- troversy had been thrashed out pret- ty thoroughly and that he believed the house resolution would be adopted probably with the united republican support and general opposition by the democrats.
 The leaders decided at the confer ence that army reorganization legis- lation would be the next measure taken up by the senate. They expect to dispose of it by the time the house has acted on the peace resolution. It will be followed by the house bill to increase dyestuffs tariffs.
 Mir. Lodge said early action on the Anglo o-American-F French treaty was not expected and not until the treaty If Versailles had been disposed of was it's consideration probable.
 A recess of congress over the con- vention period, Mir. Lodge said, was probable. Congress hardly can com plete its work by June l, he added, and would have considerable work to do after the conventions.

PRE-EASTER RISING AT DUBLIN FAILS ID
 DEVELOP-A ALL QUIET
[Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

DUBLIN, April 2.-(By the Associat- ed Press)-The situation in Dublin to- day was normal There was not the slightest sign of any Easter rising which recently became so general as to provoke questions on the subject in parliament
 The resignation of James Ian Mac Emerson as chief secretary for Ireland did not cause a ripple of excitement here. Irishmen regard appointment of Field Marshal Viscount French to vice. roy as solely responsible for the direc- tion of affairs and seem not to be in terested in MT. MacPherson's success sor. Some fears are entertained that there may be trouble in Cork when the result of the inquest into the death of Lord Mayor MacCurtain. who was murdered last week, is announced. The Inquest still iS progressing.
 The new field marshal. Sir William Robertson, who, it has been rumored, is likely to succeed General Sir Fred ericl1 Shaw as commander of the troops in Ireland, is on a visit to Bel fast with Lord Davenport.
 The lord mayor of Dublin has re- ceived a letter from Premier Lloyd George, dated March 31, alluding to the impossibility of obtaining evidence in the ordinary way calculated to lead to the arrest and conviction of mur- derers in the formidable campaign of terrorism now menacing Ireland. The letter says this fact places the execu- tives under a great handicap, because they do not desire to arrest the guilt less. On the other hand, it adds, the first duty of the executive is to leave no stone unturned to lay hands on those terrorizing society and it may therefore be necessary to dislocata. in some degree, the normal life of the community.
 The premier expresses the belief that the terrorist campaign is prompted largely by desire to prevent a set tlcment of the Irish question by req son and of good will, which he be- lieves the only means for attaining unity and conciliation. He declares that the government will not be de- flected from what it believes the only course consistent with reason and commons sense by ruthless and cruel campaign of assassination" but says he is anxious to make as easy as possible the task of those endeavor- ing to carry on the administration of the country on reasonable lines and, if there are any means by which mod crate men can be helped or encou-- aged to withstand or oppose the pres ent campaign of intimidation so as 10 bring nearer a settlement of the Irish question. I will gladly cooperate in tringing them into effect"

FREDERICK JURY D|SAGREES; NEW TRIAL |S ORDERED
rRepublican A. p. Leased WireJ

ST. LOUIS, April "A miStrial was declared tonight in the case of Ursula Frederick, It years old, charged WlIn first degree murder for killing her step father, J. F. Woodlock, who was shot to death in their home here, April 1A last. After deliberating for more than A hours, the foreman of the jury re- ported that the body was 'hopelessly deadlOcked.' Judge Klene, presiding, then declared a mistrial and ordered the case retried on May g.
 TheN foreman stated that the jury stood 10 for conviction and two for acquittal since last night
 The defendant was apparently un-, moved by the result and asserted that she was not worried as to the ultimate outcome when the case again goes to trial.
 In October of 1916. Ursula shot and killed her father. Thomas F. Broderick, but was exonerated by a coroners jury when it was testified that she fired in defense of her mother. who, Frederick, it was said. was beating.
 The case went to the jury last night after Miss Florence Mclaughlin testi- fled the girl and her mother. Mrs Lil- rlian Woodlock, had offered her money to say she saw Woodlock make ad- vances towards Ursula. Mrs. Wood lock is charged with complicity in her husbands death and will be tried later.
 Mrs. Florence Taylor, who resided with the Woodlock's, also testified that Mrs. Woodlock has urged her to de- clare Woodlock had attacked Ursula
 The girl maintained she shot Wood lock in defense of her honor, with a revolver purchased to take her own life in event he overpOWered her in his alleged repeated attempts to assault her. She kept the weapon concealed in the folds of her garments, she ex- plained.
 The state contended Ursula and her mother plotted to murder Woodlock, and tried to show that he was shot while asleep.
