The temporary chairman said the
country desires a league of nations,
but that the assumption that only
one man was capable Of framing 1t
savored of autocracy and couldn't be
accepted meekly by a free people.
Watkins also attacked the repub.
lican party. He asked if there were
no Mexican problems during repub-
lican administrations, and asserted 1t

ISM in the league fight. Both par
ties have committed themselves to
internationalism on some of their
platforms, he said. He cited the
tariff, the money question and the
control OF colonies as questions in
which one or the other party stood
for internationalism.
Has Been Some Party.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 21.--"Haven't
we been some party?" National Chair
man Virgil Hinshaw asked the open
ing session of the prohibition party
convention here today.
Hinshaw enumerated the planks
the party had sponsored before the
old parties had taken them up or
they had been adopted without old
party sponsorship. Among those for
which he claimed credit to the pro-
hibition party were woman suffrage,
civil service, direct election of sena-
tors, opposition to lotteries, .opposi-
ton to white slave traffic, child labor
laws, uniform marriage and divorce
laws, and, above all. prohibition.
Hinshaw told of the lost plank in
the republican platform.
According to the testimony of
William Allen White and Reed
Smoot,' he said, "the resolutions
committee adopted dry plank, but
it was lost on the way to the conven-
ton The entire convention adopted
by unanimous vote law enforcement
plank. but that plank was lost on the
way from the national convention to

candidates, Harding as "anti-prohibi-

CHICAGO, July 21.-Defnite ac,
lceptance or rejection by railroad
labor of the $600,O00,000 wage I'd
vance announced yesterday by .ne
United States railway labor board
was expected today as two thousand
of railway unions con
ltinued their conferences here.
w. G. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, and other
Headers, said before the conference
they expected stand would be dete"
mined early today.
Lee declared he was confident
there would be no sporadic or illegal
strikes now. This had been the chlel
concern of N'ai.road union leaders
Lee refused TO discuss the probable
position rail leaders would take.
! Union officials were to continue
their group meetings early today and
then join in a grand session followed
by a Joint announcement of labors
attitude toward the wage boards
award.
Railway managers made it plain to-
day that while they are in compleIe
accord with the wage decision, in
creased freight rates will be necss-
sary. Petitions for advanced freight
and passenger rates of 80 to 40 per
cent will be presented to the inter
state commerce commission immedi-
lately, operators said.
Outlaw strikers, in session here
last night rejected the boards award.
Outlaws were not dealt with in the
decision.
With the boards award made retro
active to May /, union officials today
estimated this would mean approxi-
mately $14O,OO0,O0O in addition to the
wage increases granted. Union Off
cials pointed out this would have a
soothing effect and had done con-
siderable to allay disappointment be-
cause full demands were not granted.
Lee intimated today if a strike was
resorted to, it probably would not be
ordered before September I, after
government support is withdrawn
from the railroads. Other union off,
cials indicated new wage demands
might be presented Immediately as a
means Of averting a general strike.
The railroad labor board prepared
today to reconvene tomorrow to begin
consideration of demands of express
men, who were not dealt with in the
award.

the housing bills remaining to be
disposed of the state library, follow

the descriptive lists OF the laws and
joint resolutions placed upon the
statute books by the 1870 legislature.
It was prepared by John p. Dullard

an Francis r. C~roasdale.
The list shows that the legislature
enacted 85s laws and two joint reso-
lutions, including everything that
passed both Houses and was signed
by Governor Edwards or passed over
the executive veto. The descriptive
list is of great usefulness to the judi
ciary, members of tho bar, public

who follow the work of the legisla-
ture.
The housing bills are scheduled to
be reported upon by the special In
