THE REPUBLICAN cANDIDATEE
TOUCHES ON VITAL ISSUES OF

Pursued With Reference to Peace
by Majority Party in Senate.

Marion, Ohio.-A pledge of consti-
tutional government, administered by
party and not by individual and based
on national rather than world ideals,
was given by Warren G. Harding on
July %, in accepting formally the
Republican nomination for the presi-
dency.
He welcomed popular referendum
on the league of nations, advocated
increased production to cut the high
cost of living, pleaded for obliteration
of sectional and class conflict, and de-
clared for industrial peace, mot
forced but inspired by the common
veal"
Prohibition he gave only a passing
notice, saying that, despite divided
opinion regarding the eighteenth
amendment and the statutes enacted
to make it operative, there must be
no evasion In their enforcement.
He declared it his "sincere desire"
that ratification of the suffrage amend
ment be completed to permit women to
vote this fall in every state.
Reviewing and commencing briefly
many other planks of the party plat
form, the candidate declared for col

sion of the dlsloyal, generous FEDERAL

roads, intelligent deflation of the cur

of gratitude to veterans of the world

navy and "a small army, but the best

In his promise Of party govern

ASKS AMERICANS To
help CHECK REDS
POLAND SEEKS SUPPORT IN HER
DESPERATE BALLTE WITH
SOVIET FORCES.
In Hour of Peril, Appeals to the
United States for Aid in Endeavor
to Drive Back the international"
Outlaws"

Washington, POLAND, sorely beset
by the Russian Bolshevik armies,
called upon the United States on July
% for moral support in her now des-
desperate battle with the soviet forces.
Through it's legation here the new
republic not only asks for an express
sion for the state department, but also
from President Wilson, declaring that
such public statements would go a long
way toward strengthening the morale
of its soldiers and people.
Poland's request was given serious
consideration at the state department
and it was expected that decision
would not be long delayed. Whatever
the ultimate decision, however, there
were indications of their sympathy
with Poland. 1t was recalled that the
American government had steadfastly
refused to recognize the soviet regime
and that less than two years ago the
state department requested the allied
and neutral nations to join in declar-
ing the Bolsheviki international out
laws.
Arguments that the legation pre-
scented set forth the incongruity of the
United States abandoning the republic
with whose establishment it had so
much to do. 1t was declared that while
the situation of the country had been
made desperate by the enormous
weight of the Russian forces, 1t was
not yet too late to avert disaster.
Hope was expressed at the depart
ment that the Bolsheviki would accept
the Polish request for an armistice,
but recent reports from Moscow Of
the attitude of the soviet rulers caused
officials to regard the outcome with
much skepticism.
Experts were divided as to just how
much support should be given to Po-
land to revive her fighting forces to
the point where they could withstand
the Russian armies. The offers of
Great Britain and France to send
troops was regarded by few as more
than enough, and in this the Polish
legation agreed. 1t was argued that
Poland had an additional million and
a half men it could put into the field
and that with sufficient arms and am
munition and backed by the moral sup
port of the United States and the allies
| it could stem the advance of the red
army.

RAILWAY WORKERS
AWARDED INCREASE
SIX HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
ADDED TO PAY ENVELOPES
BY BOARD.
Award Adds Approximately Fl Per
Cent to the Present Pay Schedule,
Which Means an 10 Per Cent In
crease in the Freight Rates.

Chicago.-Six hundred million dol
lars was added to the pay envelope of
the nations 100000 railroad work
ers on July 20 in the first award hand
ed down by the new United States
railway labor board.
Rejecting the demands of the organ
lied rail unions for increases totaling
approximately 81, 0OO,OOO,000, the board
decided approximately so per cent of
that sum would be a just increase to
meet present living conditions.
The award adds approximately 81
per cent to the present pay schedules.
Railroad officials have declared that
any pay increase must be followed by
corresponding increase in rates, and
their plan, it is said, is to file new
tariffs with the Interstate commerce
commission as soon as they can be
prepared.
An Is per cent increase in freight
rates will be necessary to meet the
Il per cent average wage award
granted railroad employees, E. T,
Whittier, representative of the roads in
the hearing before the railway labor
board, announced.
Whether the award will stave off a
general railroad strike remains to be
seen. The leaders of practically all
the sixteen big railroad unions were
present when Judge r. NJ. Barton
chairman of the board, handed down
the decision. They left Immediately to
present the award to 100 general
chairmen, who had gathered here to
pass on it's acceptability. The union
presidents refused to make any com
ment before the meeting.
The railroads, Mr. Whittier an
nounced after a conference with the
Western Managers association, will
accept the boards award and apply
its terms Immediately.
