IN FRESH RIOTS
Curfew Law Keeps Sim Fein
Warriors Home Nights.
Daylight Brings New Terror to
Belfast Streets.

Belfast. Sept. 1.-Fighting was re-
sumed here this morning between Ma
tionalists and unionist shipyard work
ers from the ShankhilI district and
troops. Heavy firing continued nearly
half an hour and it is feared the cas-
ualty list is heavy.
The fighting centered about North
street. That thorofare was thronged
with shipyard workers at s o'clock.
Suddenly there was a series of revolver
shots apparently coming from Mill
field in the center of the nationalist
district. Nearby military pickets
rushed to the scene, took shelter be-
hind walls and poured in a fierce fire
which was returned by snipers. The
battle was accompanied by the Shrek
ing of mill and foundry sirens.
Ship Workers Help Troops.
Matters finally became too hot for
the Sim Feiners, and they were dis
lodged with the aid of an armored car.
The shipyard workers in their zeal to
help the soldiers became a nuisance
and the commanding officers asked
them to withdraw.
Tram cars caught between the op-
posing forces ran a gauntlet of bull
lets, the drivers covering over their
wheels and the passengers lying on the
floor.
Curfew Law Quiets 'Em.
Enforcement of the curfew ordi-
nance here last night had a quieting
effect. All persons without permits
were compelled to leave the streets at
1880 o'clock and all tram cars stop
at 8 o'clock. Before midnight
streets were almost deserted and
few persons were arrested. There
were several fires during the early
evening but no serious rioting oc-
Cured.
AItho Belfast was far from peaceful
yesterday, there was nothing similar
to the wild scenes of Monday. Sporadic
outbreaks occurred, however, the
worst being on Old Lodge road, on the
north side of the city, where soldiers
fired on a mob during the forenoon.
Efforts are being made to have
Ulster volunteers accepted as patrol
men by the police authorities, but the
latter have been reluctant to assent to

IS NO Precedent
Action by Tennessee Legislature
May Upset Suff Plans.
Officials at Washington See No
Blow to Amendment.

Washington. Sept. 1.-The action of
the Tennessee house late yesterday in
voting to rescind its ratification of the
federal suffrage amendment surprised
suffragists and government officials
who were studying possible effect of
the action today.
There is no precedent for the situa-
ton which has been created but in
formal opinions here were that the
vote yesterday will have no effect
whatever.
1t was pointed out that Tennessee S
certificate of ratification had come to
Washington and been approved. and
that Secretary Colby had proclaimed
the amendment. Courts, according to
government attorneys, are usually re-
luctant to go behind action of this
sort.
The best legal opinion here also was
that Tennessee cannot now withdraw
it's ratification. The question, how
ever. has never been finally settled.
The most serious aspect of the case
as seen here was that the legality OF
women's votes may be called into
court

INDOOR CAR SHORTAGE MEET
Industrial Court Comforting With
Farmers This Afternoon.

Industrial court judges are today
holding an indoor field meet on the
car shortage. Investigation of the
method of freight car distribution was
taken up this morning with a view of
revising existing orders.
Many farmers, as we'll as mill and
elevator operators and railroad rep
resenta tives. are attending the hear
ing. Claims of farmers are to the ef-
feet that present regulations of the
interstate commerce commission and
the state industrial court give mills
and elevators all the cars. Distribu-
ton is made on the basis of available
grain supplies In consequence, the
farmers assert, they are compelled to
sell to local dealers at less than mar
ket prices or hold their grain for cars
that never come.
The industrial court will take up
the increased passenger rate case as
affecting railroad fares in Kansas as
soon as the present hearing in con-
cluded. The passenger rate hearing is
set for Thursday morning, with the
express rate case to be called Friday
provided the passenger case is con-
cluded.
