CONFERENCE BEGINS IN PACKING
 STRIKE:
By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 2l After spending three and one-hali hours in conference with Secretaries Davis, Hoover and Wallace, repre- sentatives of the five leading pack CTS and their union employees ad- journed late today to meet tomor- row. No one would comment as to the progress of the initial effort of the new administration in the labor dispute. Representatives of the packers and employees stated that Davis requested all parties to make no statements. The secretary also sent word to the newspapermen that he had nothing to say and announced that the discussions would be re- stunned tomorrow, probably at 3 p. m.
 The fact that there is no morning conference IS taken to indicate that Davis might bring the matter to the attention of President Harding and other members of the cabinet which meets tomorrow.
 A recess also will allow the rep resentatives of both sides to confer with advisers.
 Davis remained in conference after the session with H. L. Kerwin, E. P Marsh and Howell Davis of the 1abor da0arfr,,a14'e bAarJ of copc;1;o tors who sat in the conference be- cause they had a part in the agree ment of 1919 by packers and em- ployes to extend the Alschuler agreement of 1917.
 The packers representatives, Carl Meyer and J. L. Condon, were said to have finished stating their case at 4 o'clock, having been interrupted by a few questions from the em- ployes. Whether the greater part of the remaining hour and a half was consumed by the employees, was not indicated.
 Secretary Davis heard the em- ployes' side at II o'clock, after both sides had assembled and the meet ing had adjourned until ? o'clock. The labor secretary, in granting private hearing to DeAnis Lane, sec retary of the unions, and R. s. Bren- nan, their attorney, gave them the same privilege he had previously given Condon and Meyer.
 Unions allied with the butchers and meat cutters sent nine represen- tatives to advise with the represen- tatives of the employees.

FALL TO IDENTIFY
 AGED VICTIM DEAD .
 OF APOPLEXY HERE

Efforts to establish the identity of the aged stranger who dropped dead at the northwest corner of Cortez and Gurley streets shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday morning, proved fruitless up to a late hour last night The information found upon the body of the man was meagre, con- sisting of a notebook containing a few business cards evidently belong ing to others, and a few entries under California dates.
 Coroner McLane waived inquest, it being clear that the mans death had resulted from a sudden stroke of apoplexy. The stranger was judged to be about 70 years old.
 Entries in the mans notebook show him to have been in various California cities during the latter months of 1920. He was dressed in corduroy trousers, a black sack coat, high top-laced, size 9 boots, and a black felt hat He wore a member ship button of the Veterans of For ign Wars organization. About 5 feet II inches in height. he wore a full white beard and was white haired. His teeth were missing.

CHICAGO, March ,2l.-W. w
 Atterbury, vice-president of the
 Pennsylvania railroad and former
 chairman of the railway executives labor committee, took an emphatic
 stand against national agreements which he termed prolific of mis- understandings"
 In a heated cross examination be- fore the railroad labor board today, questioning by E. P. Walsh, coun- sel for the unions, brought vigorous replies from Atterbury and time and again witness answered by cross questions. Charges that union lead CTS did not really represent the em- ployes and that national rules were used to procure employment for more men and extract money from railroads on technicalities, were made by the witness.
 The gist of Atterbury's testimony was as follows: Rules should be negotiated between road officials and employees across conference table like a game of poker" the eight hour day could not be universally applied to all employees, especially train service men because the Lord didn't build railroads that way; the establishment of an hourly basis. of shop work destroyed the energy ini- tiative of shop employees and the abolition of piece-work would be the most dreadful thing that could hap pen to railroad employees" national rules constituted a dog collar" around the neck of the railroads who would be free to negotiate their own rules with their own employees the minute the board cuts the dog col lar"

TARIFF BILL SCHEDULED FOR QUICK
 ACTION

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 21. The Fordney emergency tariff bill, as vetoed by former President Will son, will be rushed through congress in the extra session. Acceding to the request of President Harding for the passage of the measure designed to help the farmers, and asking for protection against foreign competi ion, the republican members of the

 hartman Fordpey and Representa- ives Longworth and Green, confer ed with Peurose, who heads the enate finance committee. after the ormer committee had reached its greement. From this conference anne the prediction the measure would be rushed through the house mder a special rule and through the enate possibly under limitation of .lebate as enforced by cloture.
 The new Fordney bill will be pre- ;ented with six months limitation put the provisions will expire earlier hould a permanent bill be enacted ,efore the expiration of the six months period After disposing of he emergency measure in the first 'ew days of the extra session, the louse will take up the anti-dumping pill which will be followed by a measure fixing American valuation pn goods paying ad valorem.

.'National Agreements Are
 Termed A Dog Collar a11d
 Scathingly Arraigned by. Pennsylvania Ra;llUay Head

Reference to the dog collar was taken, Atterbury explained, from a cartoon in the Union Bulletin. He exhibited the cartoon which showed small dog labeled Railroads" with collar labeled National agree ments," led by labor. The dog was made say "The collar doesn't fit'' and the caption said But we'll make it fit"
 Two charges against union of- ficials were made by the witness. He declared that although national agreements had the object of em- ploying more men, he was "a better friend of my men than any union man at this table,
 The declaration brought from Walsh query as to whether Alter bury represented the section hands
 No, but you do not; those men are not represented here" was the reply. Atterbury demanded that the rules be interpreted clearly and words defined. Walsh said he thought the ordinary meaning of words applied. This brought quick retort from the witness: "Yes, but when it comes to devising means and methods of getting money out of rule, you gentlemen are the most expert of any 1 know"
 These rules appear clear to me- said Walsh.
 That's because you don't know about them," witness re- piled
 Atterbury maintained that no rules could be negotiated which would have national application and de- clared the only satisfactory way of agreeing on rules was by direct conference.

Inquiry here yesterday resulted in the information that none of the four Prescott banks have had any financial connection with the Phoe- nix institution that failed. All the local banks, having many months ago adopted a conservative policy as regards loans, are in a strong position. The Commercial Trust & Savings carries a reserve of 50 per cent above the legal requirement.. The Yavapai County Savings bank has a big reserve of $200,000 whil the Bank of Arizona and the Pres colt State are equally well intrencl ed. It will be remembered that dul ing the panic of 1907, the Prescott banks were the only ones in the stat that did not issue scrip, and that tn gold coin was cheerfully and prompt ly handed to any depositor who called to withdraw his money.
