mass meeting held last night in the
Opera House under the auspices OF
the Joint Association of Railroad
Employees Of Washington and A'ex-
andria which was attended By a
large gathering of railroad men.
The speaker declared that the
only way to solve the problem IS
for the men to interest themselves
in plan that will enable them a
reasonable length of time for recre-
alton and enjoyment. Capital and
labor interests she declared are not
the same. The employer she asserts
fights the laborer because he wants
all of the profits he can get. The
"Great American Plan," she de-
clared is &c do away with collective
bargaining. Labor troubles she de-
clared are pending today, and told
her hearers that if they did not stick
they will 60 to pieces. Both the
democratic and republican parties
were criticised by the speaker who
said the, have slogans to catch the
people and the people swallow them
hook and line. According to Miss
Martin there are five million inen
out of work today and she added
that little. group of people in this
country control the jobs.
Miss Martin told her hearer7 not
to be satisfied with half loaf
when they can get a whole loaf.
Labor she declared made the world
what it IS today and the way to go
about getting what you want she
said is through industrial orga"za-
ton and a political party. The
speaker made plea for the release
of Eugene V. Debs. The United
States she declared is the only "oun
try in the world that has refused to
free war time prisoners.
Edward l.. Keating, of Washing
ton, editor of the railroad paper.

He said hc did not know that labor
was facing a crisis. He added hat
he never knew a time when labor
was not facing some crisis. Con-
tinuing hos aid: "The only thing ]
want to i.ncw is that the sixteen
railroad labor organizations will
stand together and there is no power
on Gods earth that can stop
them" When the battle comes dis
cipline is necessary he said and the
men should follow their leader. He
urged all to come within the fold
and he declared that labor seeks
Justice ana he added that labor is
a political power. There is he said
no substitute Tor the union ana WIN
out it little can be accomplished he
said.
The meeting was presided over
by J. j. Forester, late of the Uni.

British Embassy During
Visit.
DENIES INTERVIEW
Meets Intended Guests Of Cancelled
Affair At Mclean Dinner--At
Harding Conference.

Washington, July 30.-Lord North
cliffe, the most widely known news
paper publisher of the British Isles,
left Washington tonight, after two
day visit without having been enter
tained at the British Embassy and
without having received from En-
bassy officials any of those attentions
usually accorded by foreign diplomats
to distinguished fellow-countrymen.
Despite the Embassy's withdrawal
of the dinner invitation, Lord North
cliffe was understood to have met at
a dinner given tonight by Mrs. E. 3.
Mclean, wife of the Washington pub
Usher, at her country home, most OF
the guests he would have met at the
proposed Embassy dinner. Sir Auck-
land Geddes, the British Ambassador,
and personal friend of the Viscount,
was understood to have been one OF
the guests at the Mclean dinner, and
undoubtedly he and the publisher met
again. Lord Northcliffe called on Sir
Auckland yesterday to pay his re-
spects. Many members of the Cabi-
net and of Congress also were under
stood to have been among tonight's
guests.
The single new development here
today in the controversy between
Lord Northcliffe and Lord George
was reply by the publisher to the
statement read in the House of Com
mons by Premier Lloyd George and
authorized by King George. The re-
ply. made in the form of cablegram
sent to Lord Stamfordham, private
secretary to the King, was made pub
lie as follows:
"Please convey to his Majesty with
my humble duty my denial of ever
having ascribed to his Majesty the
word or words as stated by the Prime
Minister today. I gave no such inter-
view"
Leaving here tonight after the Nc
Lean dinner, Lord Northcliffe will ar
rive early tomorrow in New York and
after spending the day there, will de-
part for Vancouver by way of Toron-
to. He will board ship at Vancouver
for his trip to Australia, New Zea-
land, China, Japan, the Philippines
and India.
The Viscount spent busy day in
Washington today. He was enter
tanned at luncheon by the Overseas
Writers, an organization of Ameri-
can newspaper men who have done
work abroad, and later in the day
ioined the regular working news
paper men of the capital at President
Harding's semi-weekly conference.
The British publisher showed great
interest in the Presidents talk with
the newspaper men, but asked no
questions of Mr.. Harding. Later,
through a heavy rainstorm, he went
to the Capitol and visited the SEN
ate press gallery. The Senate had
adjourned and he did not call on any
Senator's. He made a brief talk to
the correspondents in the gallery,
mostly of "shop" nature.

TIGERS DEFEAT
 PIRATES 15-1O.

Soekland's Pirates made a strong offensive bid for victory over the Tigers at Riverside park yesterday afternoon, but they booted away vic tory when the fielders were unable to get their fingers on the Tigers in- field wallops.
 The Tigers started scoring in the first inning, scoring 5 runs on three hits, two walks and three errors. In the second the Bengals scored two more and in the fourth they ham mered the ball all over the lot for seven perfectly good scores. The seventh brought one more to the Tigers, giving Crandali's crew Is, while the Pirates succeeded in total ing 10.
 The Buccaneers touched Salazar for a paltry hits in seven innings and Harris took the pill in the eighth to give Sally a rest. Harris almost proved the downfall of Crandall's team. the Pirates scoring runs off his delivery.
 Price and Pepper were the long dis tance stick workers, each connecting for a circuit clout. Price landed on Sally for homer in the fourth with one man on and Pepper touched Har-. ris for four base blow in the eighth with enc man on base.
 Butler worked behind the bat for the Tigers and Wheeler covered right fields for three innings. Wheeler's hand was injured in last Sunday s game, but he will be in condition to do the receiving when the Tigers play at Nogales the latter part of the week.
 The Pirates presented a nice lineup and with little practice will show well in the city league. Score:

WHITE SOX LOSE 1. II CLAN TS12-5

The White Sox outhit the Giants in yesterdays game at Eastlake park, and lost a 12-5 game through loose fielding and Whites ability to keep the hits well scattered.
 The Sox presented a nice lineup, but weakness on the mound took the fine edge off the team and the Giants romped off with an easy win.
 The game was a nice exhibition for four innings, but Crawley weakened in the fifth and two walks, two hits and three errors resulted in the five runs for the Giants. With one down Finley Westfall went in and finished the inning by striking out the next two batters. Westfall finished the game The Giants scored two more runs in the seventh and three in the eighth.
 The Sox managed to put three runs across in the first half of the sixth and two in the ninth, but they were never able to overcome the Giants lead. and Wiz White added another to his string of victories.
 Each side made one snappy double play that served to "pep up" the crowd and saved an otherwise listless game. The score:
