His letter follows:

Harding's Real Policy
He says he has no international
program and that it is folly to be
specific. He is member of the Sen

Relations, and has thus had before him
the treaty and the league for over

not know what should be done. He
never will know. He is negative and
sentimental. On one point he is defn-
ite: He is not for what, after a years
conslde ration, he voted for in the Sen
ate, the league with the Lodge res

tion which would come nearest to sat

substantially what will work out bv

Max Schussler, of 223 East Ninth
Street, who was arrested Sunday.
charged with the theft of s2,700 which
he raised for Jewish relief in Poland,
was attacked by a mob yesterday as
he left Essex Market police court,
where his hearing was adjourned for
week.
Many of those who were waiting for
Schussler to appear said that they had
contributed to his fund. When Schuss-
Ter came down the steps of the court
house they threw stones, bottles and
other missiles at him and started to
rush him. They were halted by a
patrolman who appeared at the scene
with his revolver drawn.
Schussler, somewhat bruised and
shaken, got into a taxicab and went to
the Criminal Courts Building, where he
had an engagement with Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Kilroe. Another mob or
the same one was waiting for him there
and handled him even more roughly.
They were lying in wait for him on
the fourth floor of the building and had
kicked, punched and scratched him
thoroughly before process servers were
able to dispense them. Schusslers face
was bleeding and his garments torn and
in disarray when he entered Mr.. Kill
roe's office, Mg. Kilroe intends TO pre-
sent the evidence against him to the
grand jury next week.
Philip Applebaum, chauffeur, Of TAB
Fifth Street was arrested as one of
Schussler's aSsailants at the Essex
Market police court. He was paroled
for examination next week on charge

LONDON, Oct. S.-One soldier was
blown to pieces and four others were
dangerously wounded in Cork to-day
when bombs, thrown from ambush, ex-
ploded in the military lorry in which
the soldiers were riding through one
of the main streets.
Two soldiers in the lorry, who es-
capped injury, opened fire in the direc
tion in which the bombs were supposed
to have come, and four civilian passers-
by were seriously wounded. One of
them, woman, is not expected to live.
Police forces which were hurried to
the scene cleared the streets, but made
no arrests.
At tho time the outrage was perpe-
trated a large body of Black and
Tan was due to pass the spot, and it
is believed the bomb throwers had been
planning to ambush these forces in re-
prisal for the sacking of Irish villages.

BOSTON, Oct. 8. - The 1000 en-
ployees Of the Lawrence Manufacturing
Company, Of Lowell, through their rep
resentatves to-day offered to accept
a Is per cent reduction in their wage,
if they could be kept at work. This
action followed the announcement yes-
terday by the company that it would
be compelled to close its plant. The
company manufactures hosiery and
underwear.
1t is evident that the offer of the
employees will be without effect, as
Everett H. Walker. agent for the COM
pany, to-day announced that it was i'm
ply a matter of "no business"
To-day the underwear department
will close within few days, the agent
declared. He indicated that the en-
polyees offer probably would not even
be considered.
The Bay Stap Cotton Corporation,
employing 1000, hands, closed today
with the announc ment that it would
not resume before December l.
The textile situation through the
New England centers is regarded as
discouraging and extensive shutdowns
in Lawrence, Lowell, Manchester, N
H.; New Bedford and Fall River are
anticipated. The plants opened few
weeks ago, running three, four and five
days week, on the expectation of new
business Oh their fall showings Of
goods.
Since the summer shutdown textile
plants Of New England have been run

and further drastic reductions appear
to be close at hand All mills have
taken advantage of the holiday early
next week to declare a full weeks shut
