Rail Head and Aids Held
On Election Law Charge
Four St. Paul r. r. Officials
Arrested for Docking Men
Who Quit to Cast Ballot

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-President H. f.
Byram and three other officials of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
road were arrested to-day on warrants
charging violation of the election law.
The case against the officials, which
is expected TO be a test of the state
election law, followed complaint bv
twentysix. employees that they were
refused two hours in which to vote
during the June election, and when they
absented themselves for this purpose
were docked two hours pay
Hearing was set for October d, and
the officials were released on $1,000
bond each.
President Byram issued the follow~
ing statement
Every employee who asks to absent
himself is given that privilege. How
ever, the company has declined to pay
for the time allotted, taking the posi-
tlon that it ls not within the power of
the state to compel such payment

ers' Association will make another at
tempt to-day to agree Oh q new wage
scale for New York printers. Sessions
ended Sunday night in a deadlock. This
was learned yesterday at the close of
the executive meeting Of the EMPLOYERS
at the Hotel Astor.
About two hundred members Of the
CLOSED shop" branch of the employers'
association were In attendance. and il
Is understood that report by the ex-
ecutive committee, with relation to the
stand to be taken at to-day's conference
with the union officials, was heard.
An official gave out the sfollowiug
statement:
The meeting adjourned without ac-
tlon In order to leave the committee
free to continue Cancellation in an effort
TO reach an early agreement"
Inc chief questions up for settlement
are whether the proposal of the en-
pfoyers for wage decrease Of $40 q
week or the unions proposal for an
increase of So in printers salaries shall
be written into the years agreement
Tor the period commencing October l.
the present scale Is $50 for a week Of
forty-four hours.
The unwillingness Of the typog-
raphers to settle the difference in
opinion by arbitration was given yes
terday as the cause OF the present
deadlock. The reduction OF $40 sought
by the employers is regarded by the
Union as beyond consideration.
Announcement was made of educa-
tional courses to be held during the
winter under the auspices of the EN-
ployers' Association at the latter's
new headquarters in the Printing
Crafts Building, Eighth Avenue and

FRANKFORT, Germany, Sept. 26
(By The Associated Press THE plant
Of the Hoechst Dye Works, which was
closed Saturday owing, as the man
agement announced, to unreasonable
wage demands, has been seized by the
locked out workmen. who are carrying
on the most vital operations.
The French delegate for the district
has issued proclamation announcing
that it is not his intention to interfere
in the quarrel between the EMPLOYERS
and the workmen. He begs the work
men, however, to refrain from the use
of violence
The Hoechst concern is closely con-
nected with the Badische anilin plant
at Oppau, where the terrible explosion
occurred last week. Among the rumors
current in explanation of the sudden
cessation of work at the Hoechst plant
is one. that the Oppau explosion de-
stroyed materials necessary to the
operation Of the Hoechst plant. The
Chemische Fabrik Company at Cries
helm, near Hoechst, also has closed.
The Oppau explosion is given as the

This statement was made to-day hv

members of the Mutual Beneficial Asso-

sThe industrial and financial su-

that We have ever held said Mr. At

manufacture, and we, with our six mil

vleyment, want the opportunity to sell
to the rest Of the world what we car
manufacture.
"Ncw, that is the problem all over
he world. There is only one solution
Tor it. and that is liquidation. The
farmers say they have liquidated: they
are selling their wheat for 81 a busllei.
The industries say they have liqui-
dated; they are selling steel at what
they were selling it for in pre-war
times
There are two outstanding factors
in liquidation. however, that have not
yet been materially touched. One is
coal, and the other is transportation.
Both, curiously enough, have beer

government control

Democrats Oppose
Penrose Effort to
Expedite Tax Bill
Simmons Strangles Debate
by Demanding Reading of
Measure in Full, and IL
Goes Over After q Clash

From tbs Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26-Signs of
determined Democratic opposition to
the tax bill appeared in the Senate to-
day when Senator Penrose brought the
measure up and sought to expedite it.
Senator Simmons. ranking p emo
cratic member Of the Finance Commit
tee, objected to going ahead before
Senators had a chance 20 consider the
bill or report, and when Senator PEN
rose persisted Senator Simmons in
sisted on the bill being read in full.
After about two hours spent in read
ing the bill and sparring the measure
went over. Senator Penrose gave notice
he would press the bin daily. How
ever, he said, if an ARRANGEMENT could
be made to secure vote on the trea-.
ties in short time he would hold back
the tax bill for few days in order
to allow uninterrupted discussion of
the treaties. He deemed it possible
that after the conferences of Demo-
cratic Senators tomorrow an under
standing as to time for a vote on the
treaties might be reached.
Penrose and Simmons Clash
Consideration Of the tax bill was
marked by sharp personal exchange
between Senator Penrose and Senator
Slmmons. Senator Penrose charged
Senator Simmons with absenteeism and
with promoting delay in the Finance
Committee.
Il want to repudiate as unjust and
untrue. Senator Simmons retorted
angrily. the statement that | have

Der or the committee Of which the SEN
ator of Pennsylvania is chairman. On
the contrary, | have been here since
last April every day except three. I

mIttee and he knows it, and he has
unfortunately not been able to be here

on the contrary. impede it's passage.

there would be no undue delay OF the
tax bill, objected to doing awav with

Jected to disregarding calendar Monday.

Senator Sterling said he would not OBJ

tlnct understanding that when the
treaties and tax bill are out of the
way, the conference report on the anti
beer bill will then be taken up and
nothing will be permitted to intervene
until final vote is had thereon"
1t was quite apparent that the Demo-
cratic Senator'S, although not nominally
seeking delay Of the tax bill, will in
sist on full debate and that it cannot
be rushed through in two weeks as
Senator Penrose has predicted.

IT is we'll to keep an eye on

good word assumes a dehni-
tion that our grandfathers
never associated with it, and
goes junketing around the
business clubs and conven-
tions, getting it's name in the
papers and forming unseemly
associations with other words,
1t will bear watching.
The word Service has been
doing that very thing, and
it is about time Service came
to its senses and went back
to work at its old job.
All over this country there
are people who, when they
buy something, don't want
any more than they think
they are going TO get.
Service to those people is
not something for nothing
that they do not want, but
something that they do want,
delivered when they want it,
at price that is within reason.
