per Silesia and Prussia, where the
permanent civilian forces - have
been Withdrawn. are causing un-
easiness in Berlin where the memo
ry OF the Kapp revolution Is kept
alive by periodical outbreaks, plots,

was happy to see an army created
for the protection OF Upper Silesia
many fear that adventure will bring
a new chapter of trouble for the
nation.
After We have cleaned up the
Poles we are going to Berlin to

expression frequently heard among
the Dragging element of the vol
unteer forces and especially among
the monarchists of the Bavarians
and Pomeranians. At first this and
similar remarks were thought to
be idle boasts, but now they seem
more ominous since the monar
chists are being led by such Kapp

RURAL SENATORS
BLOCK PLAN FOR
SUMMER RECESS
Insurgents Vote Down
Leaders and Insist on
Early Action on Bills.

Climaxing the most vigorous in
surgent uprising of the present ses-
sion, the Senate yesterday fiatly re-
jected the recess program proposeo
by its leaders and voted to remain
on the job throughout the summer
and fall, IL necessary, to enact leg
islation clamoring for attention.
Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader. with the support of Senator
Underwood. Democratic leader. Of
fered a resolution to recess from
July to August s to give Senators
rest before taking up the tax
and tariff bills.
There was rapid bipartisan
amalgamation of the various groups
and interests adversely affected by
out conspicuously in the amalga-
nation was the so-called agrarian
bloc, made up of Western ana
Southern members, who contend
that the Federal government is not
adequately aiding the farmers.
After nearly three hours of de-
bate, the recess resolution was de-
feated, 27 to "a. Party lines were
completely shattered in the roll call.
Among the measures chiefly re-
sponsible for the resolution to stay
at work were the anti-beer bill, the
soldiers bonus, the Sweet bill for
consolidation of the various gov
ernmental agencies dealing with
former service men, and various
bills designed to extend further re-
lief to the farmers.
Senator Lodge pointed out thar
the next month would furnish the
only opportunity Ger the Senate to
take a holiday, but other Senators
pointed out that II Congress quit
work now for a month it would
be physical impossibility to pass
the pending measures before the
tax and tariff bills were ready,

and Chicago Trbune.)
DUBLIN, July 5.-General SHUTS
arrived in Dublin today as the rep
resentative of the British Empire.
II is said he brings on paper Prime
Minister Lloyd Georges final offer
and that he is pledged to support
il and, IL necessary to secure Irish
consent. to give il the weight Of
his own guarantee.
Shortly after General SHUTS ar
rived Eamoon DeNaleria and

long conference and il is reported
they left looking pleased with the
result of their talk. other Sim
Fein and Nationalist leaders called.
General SHUTS Immediately an
nounced that he would visit Belfast
tomorrow to see Sir James Craig.
Every effort will be made to keep
this visit secret in order not TO en-
barrass Sir James.
The details OF the plan for a set
uement which General SHUTS
brings are not obtainable but on
broad lines ireland is offered a con-
stitution, resembling that OF South
Africa, which provides for the ut
most autonomy for Ulster on the
Natal plan.

One Group Determined to
Fight Its Inclusion
In Any Merger.

Afight for lower street car fares
and better service is promised when
the House District Committee meets
tomorrow. Various measures Of
fered as remedies for the present un-
desirable situation will be discussed,
but according to members of the
committee the real stumbling block
is the proposed status Of the Poto-

One faction is determined that the
power company shall not be included
in any contemplated merger of the
street car companies. The other
group. according to members of the
committee who are keeping a close
watch on the situation. are resolved
that any form of consolidation of
the car lines shall be contingent
upon the inclusion of the power
company. and this group, they say,
will continue to sponsor bills that
provide for such an amalgamation.

BRITISH DENY DRIVE
FOR OIL MONOPOLY

LONDON, July 5.-Vehement de-
nial that Great Britain seeks to con-
troll the worlds undeveloped oil
helds is made by Lord Curzon, sec
retary of foreign affairs, in q
memorandum dispatched to Sir
Auckland Geddes, Ambassador to
America, and now printed in a
parliamentary white paper.
Lord Curzon reviews the situation
in the colonies exhaustively and
draws a keen distinction between the
claims of Great Britain and those
Of the United States. He declares:
Statements made in the foreign
press that the British government
is cooperating with British COM
mercial interests to secure an oil
monopoly are entirely without foun-
dation, although through their con-
slant repetition they have gained
some credence."

BONUS MEASURES
PASSAGE SOON IS
INDICATED BY VOTE
Senate Deides, 46 to a, to
Keep Bill Up Un-
til Passed.

Passage Of the 1886, 900 900 SOL
der bonus bill by an overwhelm-
ing majority at an early date was
clearly forecast yesterday when the
Senate, 46 to 4, decided to make
the measure the unfinished busi-
ness
This action gives the bill a privi-
legged status and will keep IL al
most constantly before the Senate
until it is passed. The vote on the
question of taking it up surprised
even the most ardent supporters OF
the measure.
Test of Strength.
The only votes cast against II
were those of Senators Glass, Myers
and Underwood. Democrats, and
Warren, Republican. On the final
roll call several more votes prob
ably will be cast against the meas
ure, but it is believed that yester-
days roll call furnishes a fairly
accurate test of strength.
A few perfunctory speeches prob
ably will be made before the bill
is placed on its final passage. II
will then oe sent to the House.
where il is expected action will bs
equally prompt and favorable.
President Harding, it is generally
understood at the Capitol, will sign
the bill without delay.
Yesterdays action stood out IN
striking contrast to the reluctance
of the Upper House TO face the is
sue last year. Although the House
passed the bill then, the Senate
held it up because IL was fearful
of adding to the tax burdens OF
the country.
New Factors Appear.
The cost of the bonus has not di-
minished since then, but several
new factors have made their ap-
pearance to influence Senators.
In the first place, the payment
of the bonus is scattered over a
period of twenty years so that the
average annual outlay will hardly
exceed s2o0,o00,oo0. In the second
place. the payments will not begin
until next year.

RAIL WACEAWARD
GOES TO men TO
ACCEPTORREJEC
General Chairmen Decide
On Referendum - Be-
lieve Strike Unlikely.

CHICAGO. July 5.-Acceptance or
rejection of the IL per cent wage
reduction, which by order Of the
u. S. Railroad Labor Board became
effective July 1, will be determined
by a referendum vote of the mem
bership of the five train service
brotherhoods, and probably of all
other rail unions not later than
September l. Meanwhile, an effort
will be made to arrange confer
ences between union leaders and
railway executives.
Following a series of daily con-
ferences here. which started last
Friday, the 1000 general chairmen
of the railway brotherhoods tonight
issued a statement in which they
said they could not assume the
responsibility of accepting wage
reductions"
United Stand Expected.
1t was officially predicted that
other standard railway organiza-
tions would subscribe to the broth
erhoods' statement of policy within
forty-eight hours, thus pledging the
100000 railway employees of the
country to a united stand.
The statement was made public
after it had first been submitted to
meeting of the chief executives
of the sixteen leading rail labor or
ganizations. Attending this meet
ing were many of the brotherhoods'
chiefs, including Warren S. Stone,
president of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers.
The statement makes working
rules, especially the one as to pay
for overtime. an issue of import
ance no less than that of the wage
question.
Strike Ballot Unbiased.
Two recommendations of the
statement were regarded as of par
ticular significance: The one sug-
gesting a meeting between union
leaders and rail executives, and an
other providing that when the strike
ballot is submitted - for a strike
ballot it will be-'it shall contain
an impartial and unbiased recital
of all that is involved"
The fact that the union chiefs
are said to be convinced of the
futility of a strike lends import
ance to the plan to put the workers
in possession of the facts bearing
on their problem.

Nv HUDSON HAWLEY.


PARIS, July 5.-From the crash
of the Banque Industrielle de la
Chine may arise not a financial
crisis, but a political crisis that
may sweep Premier BRAND and his
cabinet out Of office. The situation
may be cleared of dynamite by ex-
plantations to be made by the min
istry of finance-but recalling that
the Clemenceau and CaillouX- cabi-
nets fell as the result Of analogous
financial controversies. political
wiseacres are full of foreboding.
BRAND has at least won the as
sent of the chamber to adjourn
ment of the questioning on the
failure until Thursday or Friday.
But in the meantime the premier
must give certain explanations to
the senate's foreign affairs and
financial committees tomorrow-and
former President Poincare is due to
preside over these session. There
should therefore be some lively
fitting.
Blow to Prestige in Orient.
The failure of the Banque In
dustrielle is considered a tremend-
Gus blow at the economic prestige
of France in the Orient. 1t not
only concerns this institution, but
also the French Bank of Cochin
China. And in this latter bank the
present minister of Finance, NJ.

The press openly charges that
Leucheur endeavored to save the
Banque Industrielle. but that Dou-
mer preferred to let events take
their course" saying that he acted
on the advice of the Chinese lega-
ton.
Ing in the Homme Libre, Clemen-
eeau's old paper, declares that the
Chinese legation fatty denies hav-
ing approached Doumer.
SiIesian Incident stickler.
Premier BRAND is also emhar-
rassed by the recent incident in
Upper Silesia in which a French
major was killed. A semi-official
statement says that the government
is mot satisfied with the platonic
explanations made by Germany"
but nothing has been done in the
Pway of punishment.
The government feels that II
Frence is forced to take further
guarantees in reprisaI for Ger
many's hostile acts, this would
frustrate the hope of completing
economic arrangements with Ger
many.
