OPEN SHOP NEXT
GRAVE QUESTION
SAYS DIR. EATON
Thinks Custom of One Group
Telling Another When to
Walk Not Tolerated.

Pittsburgh, April 8.-The next inn
portant conflict in this country will
gather about the question of the
open shop, said DR.. Charles Audrey
Eaton, New York City, addressing
more than 300 railroad men from all
parts of the United States, who at
tended the annual dinner of the
Traffic Club of Pittsburgh, here
Thursday night.
"The labor union has performed
very successful function in Amer
ica," said Dr.. Eaton. "and is capable
of still further service, not only to
the working man. but to the nation
as whole. The closed shop PROPOSE
ton, that one group of private citi-
zens have the right to tell another
group where and when they can
work, will not be considered. Moth
ing could be more un-American."
A. De Witt Foster, of the Can
adam National Railway system, and
]. F. Townsend of Pittsburgh, also
made addresses. Mr.. Townsend, dis
cussing the railway situation,
pleaded for heavier loading OF cars,
declaring that while the average
load in 1917 was % tons, it had sunk
to 27 tons in two wears.

Youthful Girl Who
Shot Man Sentenced
To the Refor1nator,

Durango, Colo, April 8.-Caroline
Jones, l7-year-old slayer of Carl
Bay, Bayfield, man of Is, last night
was sentenced by Judge w. N. Seary
to the state industrial school for
girls until she is 2l years old. She
recently was convicted on a charge
of manslaughter.
Bay was shot and killed January
% on the street. The girl said Bay
had repeatedly insulted her and
spat in her face when she met him.
Il want to say that l have great
sympathy for the defendant and her
family" Judge Seary said in pro-
nouncing sentence. II also have
sympathy for the other family now
in mourning.
"The verdict of the jury had a
very definite meaning. Since the
jury found the girl soundminded
with no self defense and returned a
verdict of mans1aughter, it must
have meant that the girl acted under
great provocation. But it is a law
of the state and the United States
that a person killing another, even
under great provocation, is guilty
and must be punished.
81 am afraid we are taking homi-
cides too lightly. Carrying of guns
and using them upon provocation is
leading to serious conditions.
commend the jury for fearlessly re-
turning its verdict when public
sympathy was so great"

Coal Prices Not to Go
As High as Expected
Ellis Searles Says

indianapolis, Ind, April S.-Coal
prices will not soar as high as ex-
pected few days ago, declared FL
lis Searles, editor of the United
Mine Workers Journal, in a state
ment issued from the international
headquarters of the miners organ
ization here. Reports and news
paper comment from all over the
country, he said, justified his state
ment.
1T was evident that a season of
prohteering in coal prices was con-
templated," said Mr.. Searles, "and
that the profteers purposed to tell
the public that the abnormal prices
were due to the wage increase
granted to the bituninous miners.
The miners, however, made it clear
to the public that the wage increase
would not justify the proposed
boost in prices. Then Attorney Cen
eral Palmer corroborated the min
ers in a published interview. This
has cleared the miners of the charge
that they were responsible for the
price boost and has had a tendency
to put a stop to any reckless prof
iteerinp."

Pershing Accomplished
Tremendous Task and
Should Receive Honor

Washington, April s,-"Popular
favor is ephemeral," says the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, in discuss
ing the Pershing candidacy. Months
ago the Appeal prophesied that
when the American people of this
country began to measure the things
that were accomplished under Per
shing they would realize what a tire
mendous task he had accomplished
in a soldier-like way. The penalty
of failure would have been assessed
against him. Therefore he is en-
titled by right to all the honor and
all the gratitude that must come
~from fair-minded people to a man
who sticks to his job and makes a
success of his work.
"Pershing deserves honor and
gratitude as Jackson deserved it, as
lee deserved it, as Grant deserved it
and as Dewey deserved it."

president of the company, from

sued late yesterday afternoon that
Paul F. Skinner, chairman of the
board of directors, recently at

to consider the offer. he says.
Mr.. Howe stated that he wa.
loyal to the company's interests and
denied that he had attempted to get
controlling interest of the COM
pany's stock, as charged by Paul F.
Skinner.
Denies Statement.
Mr.. Howe's statement follows:
"Any suggestions that I have not
been working loyalty for the sue
cess of the Skinner company and in
the interests of its stockholders is
without foundation. That l was
seeking to get control of the Skinner
company is likewise untrue, because

London, April Sit is stated that
the British government tonight sent
protest to the French government
with regard to the occupation OF
the Ruhr region.
Both the Central News and Ex-
change Telegraph company state to-
day that the British and associated
governments have been opposed
throughout to French occupation of
German towns and that France acted
on its own initiative.
After long conference which the
French ambassador, Paul Cambon,
had with Premier Lloyd George to-
day, and full discussion OF the
Franco German incident by the
cabinet council, at which the French
view was fully explained to the
British ministers, an authoritative
statement was issued to the effect
that France acted entirely on her
own initiative in deciding to occupy
German towns; that Great Britain,
the United States, Italy and Belgium
were all opposed to the plan, and
that Frances action has caused a
delicate situation.
Suggest Expedients.
The matter is under discussion of
the British and French governments
and the hope is expressed that the
situation may be eased. The state
ment recites various expedients sug-
gested for dealing with the Ruhr
situation, among others the sending
of allied officers with the German
troops to supervise the German
withdrawal Another alternative
was that the decision should be left
with the German government, with
the stipulation that unless the status
quo was sufficiently restored the al
lies themselves would occupy Ger
man points to enforce their de-
mands.
Germany has been granted a
weeks additional grace for the
withdrawal of her troops from the
neutral zone, the Evening News says
it understands. This would extend
the time to April II.
In August of last year the su-
preme council consented to a pro-
visional increase of the German
gendarmerie troops in the neutral
zone beyond the Rhine for three
months after the peace treaty should
go into effect.
Increase French Forces.
Paris, April S.-The French forces
