Chfidrcr, Drunk in Streets
Even children fell intoxicated in
the streets, frantic mothers having
tried to still their cries by pouring
the fiery fluid down the little throats.
In the outlying districts women
and children are seen crouching,
terror-stricken in outhouses or on
the roadside as furious battles are
raging between Unionists and Ma
tionalists in which revolvers and
clubs were at first the only weapons,
until the police and military joined
in with their rifles.
Early this morning Unionist
rioters pillaged and set fire to build
ings for three hours without the
slightest interference by the au-
thorities.
This afternoon I saw troops with
fixed bayonets guarding a store
while youths inside were throwing
out the contents to friends on the
sidewalk.
Machine Guns I'm Action.
At $50 tonight the military
brought machine, guns into action
against the rioting mobs.
The most disturbed area Is the
district of Bally Maccarett. where
furious revolver battles are being
fought.
A working girl was wounded IN
the breast. A woman was killed
while hurrying to her dying mother.
She carried a baby in her arms
when a bullet struck her.
Ambulances are flashing through
the city continually taking wounded
to hospitals.
Word was just received here that
riotiae has broken out in Band
bridge, County. Down. where the
great Homesymth factories were
closed down after Sinn Fein en-
ployes had been expelled. and
threats were made to set the plants
afire as an act of retaliation.

Acceptance Speech Called
Strong Document
By Some.
BY FREDERICK WILLIAM VILE

ny FhEDEniSh WILLIAM VILE
Public Ledger Service.l
Senator Harding's speech of &C
ceptance is considered by his friends
and supporters in Washington as
an exceptionally strong campaign
document. They declare that IL
contains few surprises and no mis-
takes. One enthusiast calls it a
masterpiece"
Democrats of quality are reluc-
tant TO discuss the speech for pub
lication, fearing to anticipate or
contradict what Gov. Cox may
have to say on a similar occasion
two weeks hence. What they pro-
fess to feel about Senator Hard
ing's keynote is that it is 'inef-
fective" because it strikes mo new
tone" A Democrat of national re-
nown said last night:
Harding uses the arguments /
drew upon when l ran for the State
legislature twenty years ago"
Another thinks that his speech
'is as devoid of novel political prin-
ciples as the Declaration of Inds-
pendence." Democrats. it is appar-
ent, are going to assail the Repub-
lican candidates personal platform
as "platitudinous and obscure"
Faint Praise In Part.
Their least faint praise is for its
economic passages. They concede
that Senator Harding's views on
such evils as imitation and on the
necessity of greater production as
the reward for higher wages are
sound. statesmanlike and unassail-
able.
Speaking broadly. Senator Hard
ing's supporters and opponents
agree that his speech adheres close
ly to the Republican national plat
form in nearly every essential di-
rection. His attack on the league OF
nations and his castigation of per
sonal, individual. dictatorial and
autocratic government" are found
to be perfectly in line with the key
note utterances of Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge and the platform
adopted at Chicago.
Between the lines of the nom-
inee's speech, Washington reads
entire readiness to make the league
of nations the paramount issue OF
the 1920 campaign If Gov. Cox gives
the signal. Otherwise. there is
ample evidence in the opening gun

Lemberg, principally in the vicinity
of Warsaw. They frankly admit
their inability TO move any such
quantity out of the danger zone
should the necessity arise.

WAGE TOO Low,
GOMPERS
Federation Head Renews
Attack on Esch--Cummins
Rail Bill.

The railroad workers of the
country ARE disappointed. and they
have a right to be" with the $780,
900, 900 wage increase granted them
by the Railway Labor Board. This
is the opinion of Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, expressed in a state
ment issued last night.
Gompers pointed out that while
it has been indicated that the rail-
road workers will not strike to
enforce a "fairer consideration of
their needs. it must not be forgot
ten that the men could have struck
only at the risk of injuring their
own cause"
The statement in full follows:
Figures Misleading.
Much has been said in the press
about the estimated aggregate wage
increase granted to the railroad men
of the country by the Railroad
Wage Board. The figure, S600,000.-
600, is large. and 1t sounds imposing
and awesome. Most of us have no
idea of what so much money means
or would look like.
IAN entirely unfair impression
gains ground by reason of this
bulking of the issue. The honest
method of applying the increase is
to apply it to the individual. 1t is
estimated that the average wage of
a section worker, under the award,
will be s101 per month, or less than
s25 a week. The average wage of
an engineer will be about $3.50 per
month, or less than $40 per week
These are averages, so a great many
hundreds of workers in these classi-
fications will get less than the esti-
mated average.
Cites Living Costs.
The two classifcations just cited
are the highest paid and the lowest
paid. In intermediate classifications
are the firemen, the conductors and

yachting wiseacres and sharps have
it that the green phantom will lift
the cup in tomorrow's race on ac-
count of her demonstrated su-
periority on a triangular course.
Shamrock lacks one race to win
the cup and crown with triumph
twenty-one years of effort. The
Irish craft has shown more than
once in the present series that in
reaching and running down before
the wind she is Resolute's peer.
Tomorrow's race being one calling
for some twenty miles of reaching
and about ten of running down to
windward. the chances of Shamrock
for victory are excellent.

Desiring to leave nothing undone
which may bring success Shamrock
sent out today a request that her
large topsail be remeasured. The
use of this sail added a minute to
the handicap of Shamrock and up
to the present it has not earned
it's salt. Wednesdays race. in
which victory was effected solely
by the handicap. has spurred the
