While reports of a general tie-up
have been. emphatically denied by
both executives and union leaders,

next few weeks will show whether
there is to be complete agreement

widespread traffic interruption.
The board has before IL the ques-
tion of whether employees shall be

The board Is also considering
whether to grant the, men the six

hours Of working, and health and

Cooley, Arizona This is the first full
car load of finished lumber shipped
from the big new saw mill to Phoenix.
The price of clear lumber is adyanc-
ing now. Common lumber may get
some cheaper but all prices are SO
near normal now that what decline,
if any, will not amount to but very
few dollars on an ordinary job, and
that difference if any, would be saved
in labor alone by building before the
weather is too hot.
Home building is going ahead with
"a regularity that is daily convincing
more and more people that the other
fellow has quit waiting to build and
gone right at it. Rents are high as
ever and will continue that way while
there is a shortage of houses. Build
ing material is 4Oes cheaper. Take
advantage of the situation and share
in the profits.
Homes for rent or for your own
use, always pay. They not only help
you but when you build you help your
self and your city. You give employ
ment to the laborer and mechanic.
You put your vacant lot in the income
class and increase the value of the en-
tire block in which you build. You
cause the traveller to say good things
about you and your city. A building
is the only class of merchandise you
can derive an income from for years
and then sell for more than it cost.

CANTON. Sept. 17.-America must
either fight Japan with words now
or bullets later. according to Dr..
Sun Vat Sen, president of the
Southern Republic of China who re-
ceived the correspondent today in
his home at Government House in
Canton. He thinks that the Wash
ington conference. in which he has
not been invited to take part, is
likely to lead to war instead of
peace.
DR.. Sun wrote a long and frank
letter to President Harding last
May and he thinks that the sug-
Gestions in his letter may have had
something to do with the calling
of the conference, but Mr. Harding
did not answer it and the Sun
government remains unrecognized.
He had hoped that the Wood
Forbes mission would stop at Can
ton but they, too. ignored him. A
few members went up to Canton
from Hongkong but they made
an unofficial trip and did not see
DIR. Sun.
Simple I'm Tastes.
The President of the Southern
government is simple and un-
assuming man, democratic in his
tastes and not surrounded by pomp
or show. He wears a plaain grey
suit unadorned by decorations. He
speaks excellent English.
Il want America to realize what
the situation in China is" he said
earnestly. he way things look
at present l have very little hope
for the results of the disarmament
conference.
You mean for China?" the cor
respondent asked.
Yes. md for America, too" was
his answer.
My idea is that it will lead to
war, said a third member of the
party, an American who has long
been a resident of the Orient.
DR.. Sun nodded his head in as
sent and, speaking with conviction,
said: There is one way for America
to avoid a war and that is to fight
now with words.
Either Now or Later.
IF America does not take a.
strong hand now and help China
keep off Japan it will have to go
to war later. My government is
really at war with Japan now. We
in South China are fighting now for
the American open door policy. You
do not see that. You must help
US soon, however, or it may be too
late. Maybe this government can
not stand much longer alone
against the Japanese pressure and
propaganda"

Britain Believes De Valera
Is Backing Down on Question

LONDON. Sept IT. - Britain be-
lieved tonight that De Valera was
backing down on his contention that
Irish delegates must attend the pro-
posed peace conference as repre-
sentatives of an independent state.
This belief was based on his latest
telegram to Premier Lloyd George,
which was dispatched from Dublin
to GairIoch tonight. The message
intimated that the Sim Fein would
not seize upon Britain's reception
of its delegates as representatives
of a free state as tacit recognition
of Irish independence. De Valera s
message was interpreted here as an
admission that the Irish stand is a
mere technicality which should not
bar further conferences.
The Irish claim to sovereignty has
been the only obstacle standing in
the way of the proposed conference.
LLOYD George, suffering from a
septic abscess of the face and so i'll
that he cannot see many visitOra
is given credit for forcing the Irish
President to give ground through
the rapid exchange of messages be-
tween them
British officials were surprised at
the rapidity of the exchange of tele-
grams. and in some quarters 1t was
Iikened TO the speedy series of COM
between former Presi-
dent Wilson and German spokesman
which led to peace.

Expert Lawyers to Com

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Ire
serving the right to remain silent.
Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle and his
half dozen lawyers settled down to-
night for a long fight to save the
comedian from prison or worse, as
the penalty for the alleged murder
of beautiful Virginia Rape.
Arbuckle's half dollar for
tune, and all the skill of some of
California's leading criminal, Law
yers, have been thrown into the
fight in his behalf.
On the other hand, District At
tOrney Matthew Brady announced he
was far from satisfied with an ap-
preparation of $1,000 for special in
vestigatiOn in the Arbuckle case.
ArhUckle's personal activities to-
day consisted of one brief visit to
court. He appeared before Superior
Judge Louderback long enough t.
hear his lawyers agree to postpone
his arraignment on a grand Jury
indictment charging manslaughter,
until September "a. The postpone
ment was agreed to because the
district attorney had announced he
would prosecute Arbuckle for n2ur-
der and not manslauShter.

day follows:
TT is idle to say that a conference
IN which we already had met your
delegates as representatives of an in
dependent sovereign state would be

Reply to Lloyd George
De Valera's message was in re-

earlier IN the day, in which the
premier reiterated that the Irish
delegates could not be received at

an Independent state, on the ground
that allegiance to the king was the
