U. S. MOVES TO FREE
PRISONERS OF SOVIET

The United States will show no hos
pitality for any proposals from So
Wet Russia, either with regard to
recognition or trade. while Americans
are still held prisoners in Russia, 1t
was learned at the State Department
today.
The State Department, 1t was said,
is making every possible effort to Sc
cure the release of Capt. Emmett Kill
patrick and Mrs. Ruth Harrison ana
other Americans who are now held in
prison in Russia. These negotiations
are made more difficult because this
Government has no representative in
Russia.
This Government does not hold that
the question of recognition is involv-
ed in any effort which may be made
to deal directly with Russia to secure
the release OF the Americans. and II
was indicated that there may be di-
rect negotiations attempted with Rus
sia on this question.

: Help Them Get Lower Freight

A delegation of Arizona cattlemen
met recently in the office of Senator
Ralph H. Cameron, Republican Sena-
tor from Arizona, and asked that
some remedial legislation be taken
Immediately to assist the Arizona
cattle raisers, who face serious
crisis through extremely high freight
rates, poor feed conditions on the
range, and low market.
MANY CATTLEMEN PRESENT.
Many OF the cattle raisers from
all sections of the State were pres
ent. or had spokesman. The terri
tory represented extends from the
Mexican border to northern Arizona
Charles f. Winssll, manager OF the
Cananea Cattle Company, with range
running many miles into old Mexico.
asked that action be taken imme
diately on the high freight rates.
He pointed out it is necessary Tor
practically all. cattle companies TO
make large movements of cattle
either to market or to new ranges,
as Arizona feed conditions are so
Tad cattle are losing condition and
are in very very poor shape.
Cattlemen from northern Arizona
said the same conditions faced them.
Representatives of J. f.. Sullivan. of
Prescott; James Cashon, of Phoenix;
Elmer Buffield. of Navajo county
Jack Kinney. of the La Osa Cattle Co.
and Harry ID. Murray, for Mexican
companies. all agreed that the con-
ditions facing the cattle idustry
would be materially bettered IL cheap

Senator Cameron had previously
agreed with the cattlemen that some
remedial action was necessary.
CAMERON Is HEARD.
Senator Cameron pointed out that
the cattle industry hinges upon the
condition of freight rates. feed ana
market, and the loaning capacity OF
the banks of the Southwest, which
are calling loans instead of lengthen-
ing them, so that a great many cat
t'emen have liquidated and accepted
los. rather than. continue with pres
ent conditions.
Cattle on the Arizona ranges to q
great extent are bought in old Mex

lobby URGED.
ONPENW0N|EN
Mrs. Du Puy Asks League Men,
bers to Press Political Aims
With Their Writings.

A writing lobby" as the most ef-
fective means of welding the woman
vote was urged at the first business
session of the League of American
Pen Women at the New Willard this
morning by Mrs. William Atherton
Du Puy, national president.
MRS. DU PUY'S PLAN.
In opening the first convention Of
women writer's ever held in Wash
ington. Mrs. Du Puy said: There IL
no reason why the women writers OF
the country should join existing lob
bies. Through the pen we can con-
duct a much more vital lobby. and
the kind of political lobby that 1t is
ftting women writers should form.
There are 1000 women writers az
fliated with the league. III they VIII
pledge themselves to writings that
will forward the interest of women
voters, they will have a writing
lobby"
Mrs. Du Puy said IL was fact
that now women have the vote, they
are given less consideration than
before they had 1t, and she believed
some sort of lobby was necessary.
Her recommendation was referred to
the resolution committee.
OFFICERS ELECTED.
A revision of the bylaws was ef-
fected at the afternoon session. The
election of the national officers took
place this afternoon and will be an
nounced at tonight's session.
The closing of the convention this
evening brings to an end the author S

fessional opportunity service.
