FAMOUS PIE THROWER
FIGHTS FOR PROPERTY

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Charlie
Chaplin was in no mode for throwing
lemon meringue pies today. He had
laid away his working clothes, in
Guiding mustache and trick cane and
was engaged in the serious pursuit
Of trying to ascertain his status. Be-
tween conferences with his lawyer
regarding his domestic troubles with
his wife, Mr.. Chaplin outlined his
fight as follows:
my wife claims I am a Bolshevik
and that have a fortune of 3d.
900, 900. If I am bolshevik would
have to split up my money. II l
admit being a capitalist everybody
I know will be coming around for
touch. One thing is certain: l
am now a resident Of New York.
I have said good bye to California.
And my wife will never get half of
my money. All she can do is sue
for divorce and ask for alimony. But
she is earning $500 week and I
guess that will keep her pretty well
in spite Of high prices"

Outlaws Vote
To Go Back To
Former Work

CHICAGO, Sept. 14:-After a
''bolt' Of approximately 10000
switchmen in the Chicago district
from the decision Of yesterdays vote
not t oreturn to work. Officials of
the United association Of railway en-
ployes, the "Outlaw" switchmen's
union, according to-. John Grunau,
general chairman, met today to order
back to work 100000 switchmen
turnout the country and recall the
additional referendum tentatively
decided upon yesterday. = sG
Deserted by the Chicago district
men "outlaw officials" expressed the
belief today that the backbone Of the
strike which has been in effect every
since the roads were turned back to
private ownership, has been broken.
The 10000 switchmen in the Chicago
district, according to Grunau, will
all be at work before nightfall.
'The men have been wanting to go
back to work for some time because
of industrial conditions said
Grunau in explaining the reversal of
yesterdays vote decision.
Recently labor has slumped and
they cannot get work in other lines.
Inability to obtain other work broke
the morale Of the men, Hence the
action of the directorate in calling off
the strike all over the country"

A Splitting Of
Newspapers is
Injurious to Town

When American Falls began to be
thought of as farming country, a
newspaper was established there and
1t went along for a number Of years
without competition. 1t was a good
booster, 1t performed good service
at reasonable prices and it kept de-
veloping a better and better equip
ment. BY Systematically exploiting
the resources Of that country and ar
ranging to have marked copies of the
paper sent to home seekers in many
states, they attracted q population
that, did much to settle up the
country and make It the greatest
wheat shipping station in America.
But about the time 1t acquired
that reputation and prosperity, an
other newspaper was established and
thereby split the patronage in two.
For six years the two papers have
been struggling in that little town.
For six, years neither of them has
made any noteworthy improvement
in their equipment. They are merely
existing and have often been drawn
into controversy that was very de-
trimental to the community. One of
these fights lasted for couple of
years and stirred up more bitterness
than anything else that has ever hap
pened in the town. 1t has been re-
ported that the man who started the
second newspaper made the state
ment that he proposed to make it so
hot for one of the leading men of
the town that he would buy out the
newspaper at an attractive figure. 1t
is also said that he bounded the man
ana his business interests year after
year trying to accomplish that pur-
pose. We don't know whether he
did or not, but he has sold out now
and he says that he had such a good
offer he could not afford to turn 1t
down. He moved to Preston, Idaho,
where they had good newspaper,
rendering good service and build
ing up a good equipment. With the
two papers in the town now, the
newspaper patronage will be split in
two and we predict that neither Of
them will do more than exist while
both of them remain. Neither Of
them will have enough income to en-
ploy a good working force or to keep
up their equipment and the commun-
ity will probably be drawn into news
paper squabbles that will result in
neighborhood fights and differences
that will be bitter and Improbable.
People who are acquainted in Pres
ton might be interested In following
the trend of events there to see II our
prediction will come true, that the
opening of the second newspaper OF
the town will be positive damage
to the town.

LABOR AGAINST
REVOLT TON
Immediate Revolution
Turnout Italy Saved by
Referendum Vote
BY HAMAR GREENWALL

ny IlANlnII SrItCGAN w ALL
Special Correspondent Of Universal
Service and London Daily Express
MILAN, Italy, Sept. 12.-By q
vote Of 100000 to 100000 Italian
labor today decided against an i'm
mediate revolution thruout Italy.
The vote was taken at the session
of the confederation of labor here
after continuous debate for sixteen
hours.
The mills, plants and factories
that have been seized by the metal
workers will be held, however, as
an experiment.
Negotiations with the employers
for worker representation on the
boards of directors which control in
dustries will be entered into at the
beginning of the week. It is likely
that these negotiations will continue
for several weeks.
The decision not to carry out the
seizures thruout Italy also carried
the order that all factories other
than those in the metal trades be
returned back to the employers.
This, perhaps the greatest decision
in modern economic war, was rend-
cred against a background rich in
history. The session, at which
speakers advanced the most agrees
sive of modern views that embraced
the tendencies of the workers all
over the world was held in a great
room in a monastery that was
erected before Columbus discovered
America. Telegraph, telephone and
wireless connections were made in
rooms that we're built when a man
thinking that the world was round
was merely a harmless lunatic. The
scores of nations that awaited the
word of the conference were nom
existent in the day that the meeting
hall suggests.
For a time the decision seemed
to hang in the balance. The men
of more radical tendencies pleaded
for complete seizure. The most
commanding voice in the decision
rendered was that of Signor Dara-
coma, the labor leader who has re-
Gently returned from Russia. He
told the delegates that he had come
back from Russia fully convinced
that Bolshevism cannot be made to
flourish on Italian soil and that the
only real danger revolution would
bring would be danger to the
workers themselves.
The government has remained
neutral. Soldiers, however, are be-
ing rushed into the city. They are
coming in motor trucks as the rail
road workers have refused to haul
trains carrying them or carrying mu-
nitions.
In the occupied metal plants the
red flags are flying. The workmen
do an eight-hour shift of work and
then stand guard for four hours.

JACK JOHNSON
GOES TO Pen
F ormer Worlds Cham
pion Looses Fight
for Freedom

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Jack John
son, former heavyweight champion
of the world, today was resentenced
to serve one year in the federal peni-
Tertiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan,
and pay fine of $1,000 by Judge
George A. Carpenter in the United
States court.
The sentence was the same as that
passed upon the negro pugilist Ave
years ago for violation of the Mann
act in transporting Bertha Schneider,
white woman, from Pittsburgh to
Chicago.
II wasn't given a fair chance
the judge was prejudiced," Johnson
repeated over and over again after
sentence had been passed.
Judge Carpenter in passing sent
ence said he did so in accordance
with an order entered by the United
States court of appeals shortly after
Johnson's first sentence and subse-
quent fight around the world.
When I first sentenced this man."
Judge Carpenter said, II was aware
that some would say colored man
would not have fair chance in a
case of this kind and l therefore gave
him the lowest sentence possible con-
sistent with the gravity Of the
crime"
This man has since shown all the
way turnout and after his trial a
complete disregard for our laws. If
| have made any mistake it is on
the side of leniency," Judge Car
penter said. .a..s... Z 5l~t
johnson was present when sent
ence was passed. His attorneys i'm
mediately declared they wished to
enter another appeal. Judge Car
penter ruled against it, but granted
a stay of execution until Saturday
next to permit consultation of appeal
court judges.

for the results of the France Italian
conference at Aix-Les-B aines.
''The most important result of the
meeting is the return to the policy of
former Premier Clemenceau, de-

treaty of Versailles" said the News
paper L'Homme Libre. "There re-
mains Premier Lloyd George, but he
is clever enough to change his policy
when it is necessary. Undoubtedly
we shall have from him within the

concessions to Germany"

that Premier Lloyd George will come
to Paris soon, possibly at the end of

Republic a Bad Actor

Republic Steels fall was a disturb
ing influence upon the whole market.
Here is a stock that sold at las on
the booming market of last November
Yesterday it sold at S7A, some 9
points under the close of the day be-
fore and within about II points from
the level at which it started on the
long climb of 1919. Professional trad
ers were heavy sellers OF Republic at
the opening, and their efforts probably
were responsible in large meas
ure for the early weakness in the
stock, but later in the day a
laige amount of Republic held for
the long account was dumped involun-
'+arily by holders whose margins had
been impaired by the two days break.
The demand for Republic in the stock
loan crowd was very heavy last night,
the loaning rate being 10 per cent.
against Is per cent for the general
run of industrial stocks This was ac-
ccepted as indicative of the fact that
large short interest exists in Repub
lic. Crucible Steel loaned at S per
cent for while, but late in the dav

! A break in stock prices quite as Sc

tanned decline which was temporarily
arrested week ago last Friday carried
prices of many stocks to new low level,
yesterday. Railroad and industria
shares alike slumped heavily under q
fresh outburst of liouidation Not 6
single active issue in the entire list
escaped the effects Of the heavy selling
which was precipitated by unfavorabe
money conditions, the unsatisfactory
reports issued by the Republic Iron
and Steel Company and the New York
AR Brake Company, and the reduction
in dividends of the majority of the
porphyry copper companies.
Although the decline was general

eral points in the railroad stocks were
common.
The poor showing of the Republic
Steel and New York Air Brake com
panes caused a good deal of pessi-
mism. Traders saw in these reports
the end Of the period Of inflated profits
and were inclined to believe that pre-
vailing prices we're higher than were
warranted on normal profit basis.
Brokers pointed out that United States
Steel common, as a per cent stock,
was high, since government bonds
some of them admitted that tho steel
companies had excellent earning pros
poets, while increases in asset values
we're also said to warrant prices higher
than those prevailing.
BY far the most important market
factor, however, was the Tightening
of money. Brokers are unable TO get
time money at any prices and must
finance their operations almost wholly
by borrowing on call. Therefore, when
call loans renewed at per cent and
cent. stocks were unloaded in large
volume. The selling movement was in
creased by reason Of the fact that an
other increase in rediscount rates was
generally expected. This expectation
proved to be we'll founded. for late in
the afternoon the Feredal Reserve Bank
announced an increase in the rate on
paper secured by Treasury certificates
Of Indebtedness. This was believed to
be forcrunner of increases in the
rates on comercial paper and govern
ment bond rediscounts.
The banking position is becoming in
creasingly serious owing to the rapid
expansion of commercial loans and the
steady loss of gold, and for this reason
it is considered unlikely that any sub

Bad Days for Pools

These days of swiftly declining stock
market values are hard indeed upon
the pools and cliques which have been
patiently waiting for that last rise on
which "to unload" The decline earlier
in the month gave them a whole lot to
think about, and they welcomed the re-
covery of last week with open arms.
But now new troubles are besetting
them. For not only has the market
gone into second sharp decline, but,
what is worse in some respects, the
managers Of pools in q number of in
dustrial stocks have been told by the
banks, it is understood, that no addi-
tional credit will be available for them,
and that they must try to hold their
stocks up in the market or run the
danger of having their existing loans
called
