Deadlock Of Congress Conferees
Seems to Preclude Return
on March /.
STRIKE CLAUSE ONE SNAG

port for Government Con-
troll Grows.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS.
staff CORRESPONDENT.

The railroads may not be returned
to their private owners March !. In
stead, there are indications which
encourage growing belief they will
continue under the control of the
United States Government from two
to five years longer.
Deadlocked. apparently beyond
hope of a compromise in time to
enable Congress to pass the final
legislation necessary to turning the
roads back to their owners, Senate
and House conferees on the railroad
bill admit tho outlook is far from
bright.
Two Main Contentious.
Section 6. OF the Cummins bill. pro-
yiding for 6 per cent EparAoe eed
earning on the physical value OF tho
roads, and tho labor clause which
makes il a crime for two or more
persons to agree to strike. are the
main points in dispute. Neither side
viii give in. Both Senator Cummlns,
Republican Of Iowa, and Congress-
man Esch, Republican, of Wisconsin
after whom the two railway bills
were named, who arc chairmen of
their respective committres-adm
the measures have slipped into an i'm
passe.
1t is understood that the Senate
committee is willing to give ground
on the anti-strikc provision in the
Cummins bill providing the House
committee will support the clause
guaranteeing fixed earnings to the
railroads. But tho House committee
has refused to accept this compro-
mise.
The members OF the two committees
meet daily to discuss this question
OF earnings, and daily they separate
without having found a solution or
anything approaching a solution. The
suggestion that they ask for "gui-
dance" from their associates consist

Represented.

Coming on the heels of the
announcement of Julius n,
Barnes, president of the United
States Grain Corporation, that
a halt had been called on the
organized work for the draft
ing" of Herbert Hoover for the
Presidency, word reached Wash
ington today that Viscount Grey,
British ambassador, was present
at the New York luncheon when

Cleveland H. Dodge, Wall

1t is rather unusual to have
a British Ambassador present at
an occasion at which the boom
for an American President is
launched. But MIR, Hoover !,
understood to be the candidate
of the Democratic Administra-
ton, pledged to perpetuate Mr..

larger share in her work as the

under the direction of the county

WOMAN's CLUB MEETS


The Womans Club of Philip was
entertained at the home of Mrs.
Guy Ramsey on Monday evening,
November lst, twenty-nine MEM
bers being present.
Mrs. Lamb reported that the
date for the 'Yea Old Year Con-
cert" had been fixed for November
18th.
A drive for old clothing to be
sent to the 100000 Armenian or
phans is being carried on in Haa-
kon County by the various Wo-
mans Clubs of the county, and the
people of Philip, as well as the
country people are earnestly re-
quested to bring in all spare
clothing which they feel can be
of service, and leave them at the
Farm Bureau office on or before
Monday, November 9Th. A COM
mittee will be there to take charge
of and pack same for shipment.
Roll call was responded to with
answers to the question why !
want to vote. "
A debate between Miss Duryea
and Mrs. A. Michael on the ques-
tion Which are smarter, men or
women" was enjoyed by all.
A mock election was then stag
ed, the candidates being taken
from the club membership with
out consulting the candidates, and
without regard ito political views.
This. election was carried on in
the most strict and businessfike
manner. No lobbying was allowed,
the election booth was policed,
and no talking was allowed in or
near the booth. This restriction
was rather hard on the women cit
liens. We might add that the Re
publican ticket won, two to one,
and also that Miss Irene Kelly was
elected Coroner without opposit-
ion.
Delicious refreshments were SER
we'd, which tended somewhat to
smooth the ruffled feathers of the
defeated candidates.
The members then inspected the
beautiful new Ramsey home, after
which the club adjourned, having
spent most enjoyable evening.

Col. Haskell's Wife
Robbed by Pirates
On French Steamer
American Woman Saves
$4,000, but Loses Jew
els; Thieves Pose as
Crew and Passengers

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 0 (By The
Associated Press ).-Piratcs held up the
French packet Souirah, which left
Batum May 6, en- route to Marseilles.
After robbing the passengers of the
steamer they went ashore in boats
which they compelled members of the
crew to man.
Among those on board the vessel
were the wife Of Colonel William
Haskell, Director General of American
Relief in the Near East, and Mrs. Daily
and Mrs. Booth, whose husbands arc
connected with relief work in Armenia
They were fleeing before the Bolshevik
advance and were forced by the pirates
to give up their money and jewelry.
The pirates boarded the steamer at
bers of the crew. At o'clock at night,
May 6, fifteen men sprang up from
various parts of the ship, covered Off
GERS and passengers with pistols and
shouted warnings that they would kill
any one who opposed them. Search of
the ship continued for two hours.
French destroyer took the Amer
lean women aboard and later trans
ferrcd them to the American destroyer
Cole, WiICu arrived mere To-Day.
The plan for the robbery Of the
Souirah had apparently been worked
out in detail. The pirates were care
full to keep control of the wireless
apparatus on the steamer, preventing
the Allied warships, of which many
are in the vicinity of Batum, from
being advised Of what was going on
Meanwhile the pirate crew forced the
steamer to take route along which
steam launch awaited them
For five hours the pirates kept the
passengers in a state of fear. The
surprise was sprung while the majority
of the passengers were in the dining
saloon and they had no opportunity to
hide their valuables. Mrs. Haskell,
Mrs. DAILY and Mrs. Booth were in their
cabins, which the pirates searched re-
pcatedly. Mrs. Haskell saved $4,000
in money belt by throwing it into
a waste water receptacle, but she was
robbed of money and jewels worth
50 000
