city of Londonderry voiced here today
the desire that their city should be
associated with southern rather than
with northern Ireland. The mayor OF
the city and an influential deputation
of its elected public representatives
put before Eamon De Valera their OBJ
jections to the Ulster parliament hav-
ing jurisdiction over their municipal
ity.
Londonderry's business relations, it

with the county of Londonderry, in
the northern group. on the edge Of
which the city is situated.
On Friday delegation from south
Armagh will come to Dublin TO protest

ency in the imperial parliament this

PLAN OF GOVERNMENT
PROPOSED BY HEATH
FOR EASTERN ISLES
CBy Associated Press)

MANILA, Sept. 15-The board OF
directors of the American Chamber
of Commerce of Manila has approved
a plan proposed by H. L. Heath, presi-
dent of the Chamber for a territorial
form of government for the Philip
pines.
Heath suggested that the Philip
pines be known as the territory of
Malaga, and an American governor
general be appointed for a term of
eight years with an annual salary OF
$4,000.
Further, Heath proposed the Phil
ippine senate should be abolished and
the president of the United States ap-
point a number of American assistant
secretaries who would form the cabi-
net of the governor general and also
constitute the law making body in
place Of the senate.
draft of the plan says: I'm con-
struction of a charter for the territory,
particular attention should be given
to the idea that the territory is res
ponsible; that it is an independent
unit of non-contiguous territory fully
responsible to its neighbors and to the
United States for its accounts.
The idea should be expressed in
the charter that the United States look
upon the territory as an outpost of
trade.

CONSIDERS
RURAL MARKET PLAN,
while HERE TUESDAY

]. c. Edgerton, superintendent of
radio in the United States postoffice
department, arrived in Richmond
Tuesday to confer with Secretary
ager Chaffee of the Chamber of Com
merce, relative to the beginning of the
proposed rural marketing plan origin
ated by Mr. Chaffee.
Mr.. Edgerton would not say Tues
day whether or not he believed the
plan feasible. He said that after he
had had an opportunity to make sur
vey of the local situation he would
be better able to render an opinion on
the worth of the proposed plan.
Would Post Prices
The rural marketing plan as detail
ed and submitted to the postoffice de
partment by Mr.. Chaffee, includes the
regular posting of rural produce prices
and quantities by the farmers in the
postoffice lobby each day. Purchases
would be made through the postoffice
department. 1t is believed that the
plan would increase the parcel post
business as most of the produce
bought could be sent under the parcel
post regulations.
Providing the proposal meets the
approval of the United States post
office heads, the plan may become
into national use. 1t would be called
the Richmond" plan. An opinion
may be given by Mr.. Edgerton Tues
day night or Wednesday.

OLD POWER DISAPPEARS
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 13.-
There is some evidence of a disposi-
ton among the Republican leaders to
really do something about the senate
The stagnatio of the more import
ant business in that body is the heav-
lest burden the Republican leaders
have on their minds.
They blame the trouble on a lack
of party solidarity, lack of party dis
cipline, and other defects under the
general head of lack of stern and ag-
gressive party leadership. The Re-
publican majority has all the machin-
cry of leadership, but the machinery
doesn't work
More "cussins" Needed
They have the steering committee,
which does not steer successfully.
and they have the caucus, which, in
words of rather far-fetched, double
play pun committed by one disguised
Republican, does not cav and does
not cuss" enough little emphasis,
a little discipline, is the thing which,
in the mind of this Republican, is
needed.
The official Republican leader of
the senate is Lodge. Lodge is about
about all there is in the way of lead
ership. He is the Republican floor
leader he is the chairman of the Re-
publican steering committee, he is
chairman of the Republican caucus,
and he is chairman of the senate's
most important committee.
That Lodge was a most accepta BILE
leader during the lea que of nations
fight is the testimony of every Repub-
lican who looks upon that fight from
party point of view That it was
just Lodges quality of temperament
and personality that saved the party
from flying into fragments is ac
cepted by everyone. But for one rea.
son or another, Lodges leadership
this session has lacked his former
success.
Fail to Accomplish Object.
1t is true the Republicans have put
through an amount of legislation
which, under ordinary circumstances
would be fairly full record. But the
circumstances are not ordinary. The
two things which the Republicans
wanted to put through and promised
to put through the tariff and taxation
are not through yet.
From the point of view of the ad-
minlstration this pretty bad Presi.
dent Harding named these two things
as the very things he wanted the pres
ent congress to act upon.
Again and again he has emphasized
that the two things, and thesI alone
constituted the administrations pro

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13.-Govern-
or Allen, of Kansas, speaking at a
business revival luncheon" of the
Chamber of Commerce here today,
urged labor to be more efficient ana
less dominant.
q am not urging that it is necessary
in America to do away with the eight

it is necessary to do away with the
idea that labor prospers most when
it works least"
"A system of adjudication of labor
difficulties in Pennsylvania which
would have prevented strikes said
Governor Allen, would have saved
the laboring man during the first six
months of the present year nearly ST.
100000 lost in wages. l find there were
over 300 strikes the first six months,
involving 100000 workers and an ag-
