President Pleads With South Set Aside Racial Preudces
And Take Steps Toward Permanent Solution OF Racial
Problem; Says Negro Should Be Granted Rights

BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 26. North
and south, whites and blacks, were
admonished by President Harding to-
day to- put aside old prejudices and
pretenses and set the face of the ma
tion courageously toward a construc-
tive and permanent solution OF the
race problem.
In sweeping presentation of his
views, which was received with vary
ing manifestations OF emotion by q
crowd of several thousand whites and
negroes, the president declared so
cial equality between the races must
not be considered a possibility, but
that the black man must have an in
creased political, economic and edu-
cational opportunity if the American
nation is to live true to its traditions
OF democracy.
The address, one of five delivered
by the president during a days visit
to the Birmingham semi-centennial,
was driven home by vigorous gestures
and deliberate utterances. He spoke
with a manifest determination to
make the pronouncement one of the
most plain spoken Of his administra-
tiCn.

ciated Press1-The government will

threatened general railroad strike to-
morrow morning at o'clock when

ecutive committees of the five train
service unions meet here at a confer

THAT the unions suspend or call off

on the wage cut made last July, pend
ing decision by the board on further
wage cuts or any revision of rules
which the employees fear the roads
will ask. The roads have already an

a ten per cent wage cut for the train
service men, in addition to the 12 per
cent slash of July. Many roads have
indicated desire to abrogate time
and half for overtime also.
Throughout today's hearing. the un-
ion leaders insisted fear of changes
in rules and fear of further wage re-
ductions had influenced their men in
voting to strike. The board is under
stood to be prepared to urge that this
fear is something which may happen

for strike. and that the men cannot
lose ANYTHING by waiting for those
decisions to be rendered.

Plaintiffs
Complete
ThemiCase

With the reading of the testi-
mony of E. e. Berman, instructor
of manual training in the Salem
high school, who is now in the
hospital with appendicitis, the
plaintiffs, finished their case
against, John w. Todd, former
school superintendent here, for
the recovery of $4,000 paid him for
information which would lead tc
number of Salem citizens being
located on government timber
claims.
Bermans testimony, as read in
court, was very similar to the II
witnesses which have preceded him
on the stand, and to the effect that
Byron, who was operating with
Todd, had sources of information
from the government land office
and that for $500 Berman was tc
be located on a timber claim and
on payment of $500 more, the
claim would be sold for at least
ten or twenty thousand dollars
Byron acting in the capacity OF
Salesman. 1t seems that Berman'
particular claim was to be located
in Coos county.
H. H. Vandevort, who holds the
claims of II people who purchased
this information, was examined OF
the stand this. morning.
Did you know anything ol
Byron's criminal record?" asked
Attorney Winslow of Vandevort.
Il didn't until it came out il
the papers"
after that did you have any
conversation with Todd about it?'
"Yes. He told me everything
was all right, and that Byron hat
pardon in his pocket and woul,
produce it at the right time,
stated the witness.
The defense began its case thi
afternoon and is reported to hav,
Is witnesses to testify. The fina
arguments in the case will perhap
be given to the jury the first o
next week.
