by Secretary of State Colby to DR.. G.

This action by the United States is
Americas answer to the plans which

that Armenia be placed under the

1t is considered here among Of

part of the allied governments to

perhaps to accept the mandate her.

however, the state department has

accord similar recognition and drop
all suggestions of placing Armenia
under the mandate of any other gov

COST PAID JOINTLY
County, State and Fed

Pay Expense

Work begins today on the Fort
Hall Macadam road and it will be
done in bitulithic paving sixteen feet
wide. The cost is to be paid jointly
by the county, state and federal gov
ernments, and it is hoped that 1t can
be completed before the tourist trav-
ell begins the latter part of June. The
contract for the major portion Of It
was let last fall to J. G. Mcguire,
and it is likely that new contract
will be let to him, tho it is the in

Active work and the letting of the
contract for the balance of the job
has been delayed by misunderstand-

the different departments of gov

REACT|ONAR|ES
MURDER WORKERS

AMSTERDAM, Holland, April
1O.-The executive committee of
the International Federation of
Trade Unions has called on the al
lied governments TO force the gov
eminent of Hungary to cease its
murderous policy against Hungar-
ian trade unionists. The protest is
signed by William Appleton, of
England, president, and JouhauX
and Mertens, vice presidents, and
Oudegeest and FimmenA secretaries.
The charge is made that the
workers of Hungary are subjected
by the all-powerful regime of the
white terror to terrible prosecutions
that BATTLE description.
ITEMS of thousands of men and
women" it is stated, who have
committed no crime save that of
being members of trade unions af-
filiated with the International Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions, are thrown
into prisons and concentration
camps, where they are flogged and
tortured beyond the power Of words
to depict. Condemned to priva-
lions Of every sort, they are sue
Icumbing and perishing. More than
5000 Of them have been massacred
after unheard-of tortures, without
judicial examination, without even
the shadow of trial.
Hundreds and thousands of
workers in Hungary now live under
this same menace. They will meet
the same fate unless it is possible
to check the murderous rage of the
ruling class"
The organized workers of all
countries are asked to prevent, by
every effective method, the destruc-
ton Of the Hungarian workers. The
executive committee gives notice
that if these murders are not stop
ped it will call upon all affiliated
organizations, and more particular
ly seamen, railroad, telegraph and
telephone workers, TO refuse TO per-
form any labor serving directly or
indirectly the interests of the eX-
listing Hungarian government.

COURTS OBSTACLE TO

vASHINGTON, April 1o.-The
non-partisan political program of

not be subject to annulment by any

THE CAT IS OUT Of
THE BAG BAG CLOSED
Contributed.

We know just among us girls
how much talk there has beer
about property investment &C.
counts" declared Forney Johnson
representative of railways security
owners, before the Interstate Com.
merce Commission, when members
of that body were hearing argu.
ments on the demand of the rail
roads for higher transportation
charges.
And in saying so Mr.. Johnson
let the cat out of the railroad bag
and now the people know just what
the executive had in mind when
they were lobbying the Cummins-
Esch bill through Congress.
AS originally written, this rail
road legislation validated the prop
lerty investment accounts of the rail
roads, containing approximately
eight billion dollars worth of fraud
ulent securities. The people made
so much fuss about this proposition
that it was Abandoned, in spite OF
the vigorous protests of railway
managers. In lieu thereof, this
provision was substituted:
Due consideration shall be given
TO all the elements of value recog-
nized by law for ratemaking pur-
poses, and there shall be given to
the property investment accounts
of the carriers only that considera-
tion which under the law it is en-
titled to in establishing values for
ratemaking purposes. "
When representative of the rail-
roads discussed this provision they
declared that public opposition tc
the use of inflated investment ac-
counts had required the use of vague
and misleading language in the bill
as it was enacted by Congress
They contended that it was clearly
understood by all the insiders that
the intention of Congress was tC
give the railroads what they want
ed and provide for rates sufficient
to reestablish the value of de-
.preciated railroad securities.
This bold and unblushing I'M
masking of railroad intentions fol
lows rapidly a prediction of oppon-
ents Of railway legislation that it
constituted a fragrant invasion OF
the rights of the people and a de-
liberate intention to validate bill
lions of dollars of worthless secur-
tiles.
When Mr.. Johnson was asked
why Congress, if it sought to give
this large concession to the rail
roads, did not so specify in plain
