United Church Discusses
Americanization at BIZ

Washington, Oct 22.-Plans for the
Americanization of immigrant members
were emphasized Friday at the biennial
session of the United Lutheran church.
Reports of mission boards told of the
work being done to familiarize such
Lutherans with the English language.
Delegates from the Northwestern
synod, which includes parts of Canada,
asked authorization to raise $4,000 for
their educational institution at Saska-
toon, but objected to the proposal to
work in cooperation with the board of
education. German members of the
synod it was stated in the debate. were
suspicious" of plans to bring their e,lu-
cational institutions under the control
of the education board. The convention
referred the matter to special COM
mittee.

FOR OHIO TOUR
Harding Will Give Last
Week Of Campaign to
His Home State.

Marion, Oct 22.-The last of his
campaign swings outside Ohio complet-
ed, Senator Harding took a real holiday
before starting work on the series of
speeches he will deliver next week in
principal cities of his own state.
After his arrival here late in the
morning on the special train which car
ried him on his excursion into New
York state, he looked in at his office for
only q short while and then left for a
40 mile motor ride to Mansfield and a
game of golf.
1t was the first time in several weeks
that he had taken so complete rest
from the cares of the campaign. Al
though he appeared in perfect health,
the strain of his speaking trips had left
him tired and he said he want to re-
fresh himself with some wholesome
physical exercise before taking up the
home stretch of the campaign.
Saturday the nominee will begin pre-
parations Of his final campaign utter
ances to be delivered on the last four
nights OF next week to meetings in
Cleveland, Akron. Cincinnati, and Co
lumbus. No more front porch dates
have been booked and these four ad-
dresses may be the only ones he will
deliver before election day.
It is considered probable,x however.
that when he will run into numerous
platform gatherings locally arranged and
will supplement his four main speeches
with many short talks of less formal
nature.
The present plan is to make the Ohio
circuit on special train, not returning
to Marion until Sunday. His managers
consider that such trip probably will
mean an extensive rear platfnrm pro-
gram.

Indianapolis, Oct. 22-A few hours
before his address before the Indiana
state convention Of school teachers, Fed
eral Judge Kenesaw NJ Landis. received
an anonymous note, threatening him if
he continued his attacks on the radical
movement in America
The judge referred to the note at the
beginning of his address and declared
that it was the attitude Of the radicals
during the war that was responsible for
the fact that the bodies of thousands of
American soldiers lie in France
The note. unsigned, typrwritten on
business stationery, was addressed to
him at the hotel where he is staying and
was delivered by mail. 1t said:

At joint meeting Saturday between
the rail men and miners, from which it
is hoped peace may spring, it is expected
the suggestion may be made that the
railway men postpone their strike, set
for Sunday night. should there be no
agreement between the government and
miners by Saturday, until after the trade
unions conference on Wednesday.
The greatest anxiety exists among
Londoners for if the rail strike becomes
effective on Sunday night the under
ground tube railways will cease working.
Also the trans and busses will suspend
operations. The bus and tram drivers,
however. have expressed themselves as
reluctant to join the movement. There
is division among the railroad men with
regard to a strike. large section OF
them opposing it. J. B. Thomas, general
secretary of the national union of rail-
waymen. has authorized the statement
that he is against the strike.
This has brought about the general
opinion that there will not, IN any case.
be a rail strike before Wednesday. but
should it come, the ministry of transport
has an emergency plan in readiness for
immediate operation of the railways by
volunteers, and all machinery created
for the purpose during last year strike
will be utilized.
In fhe house of commons Edward
Shortt. the home secretary. gave notice
of the presentation of 8 bill TO make
exceptional provision for the protection
of the community in cases of emergency.
The announcement is interpreted by the
press as meaning that the measure is
intended to bear on the strike situation.
The desirability for session of the
house of commons to pass the emergency
bill was considered. It is understood
that the intention was abandoned. 1t be-
ing decided that the public should re-
cess over Saturday and Sunday and con-
slider the bill Monday.
From this understanding parliament
ary writer's have assumed that the
strike outlook was regarded as some
what less menacing.
The executive Of the Associated So
ciety of Locomotive Enginemen and
Firemen today decided to defer decision
on the question of sympathetic action
until Monday.
The calling of the meeting of the
miners executives tomorrow was gem
orally believed to presage re-opening
of negotiations with the government. 1t
is understood the meeting was called
on representations of members of the
house of commons representing the
miners.
Regarding the bill of which Home
Secretary Short gave notice, it was
said the measure was mainly revival
of wartime emergency regulations for
a period of emergency and that it was
to be pushed forward immeditely.

While the legislative committee held

several witness regarding the activities
Of the alleged labor contractor combina-
ton which he asserted was sitting con-

Important developments were:

Mr.. Gompers said, in an address,
that after the policemen had left their

IF the action of the Boston police

terms can describe the action or mac

SCAND|NAv|ANS
URGE QUESTION
Of AUTHORITY
Council Considers What
Jurisdiction Belongs
To World Court.

Brussels. Oct. 22-(By The Associat-
ed Press. s.)-Proeeedings of the council
of the League of Nations. in session here,
have been obstrueted by differences OF
opinion over the jurisdiction of the pro-
posed international court of justice. The
council is full day behind its schedule,
but considerable headway was made Fri
day on the reports which are being pre-
pared for the general assembly of the
league at Geneva next month.
The Scandinavian countries raised a
difficult question by objecting to the
clause in the international court plan
which fixes the courts jurisdiction. 1t
was proposed that the court have juris-
diction in any case in which one party to
the dispute appealed to it. The Scandi-
navians assert this goes further than the
covenant of the League of Nations it
self
They proposed an amendment provid-
ing that the court have jurisdiction only
in cases in which both parties appealed
to it. No settlement has yet been reach
ed. but the tendency of the discussions
is toward the substitution of q clause
which would be unquestipnably in har-
mony with Articles II to 15. of the
covenant
The question of ways and means for
its own support was taken up by the
council this afternoon in the absence of
Leon Bourgeois, who was fatigued by
the repeated conferences and also the
social attentions being paid the council.
