HARDING IS SWEPT
 INTO MAELSTROM
 OF WORLD AFFAIRS
Hap Hoped to Give Entire Time to Domestic Matters, But Finds Them Tied to
 European Questions
By ROBERT T. SMALL Special Correspondent to The Age Herald (Copyright, 1921, by The Age -Herald)

 Washington, April 30.-(Special. J. However much he may have wished it otherwise, President Harding and his entire administration have been swept into the international maelstrom. The President had determiaed when he entered the White House that domes- tic affairs should have his entire time and attention for an indefinite period. He thought it was up to the United States to put it's own house in order and thereby set an example for the European nations to follow. He felt that the previous administration had been too much wrapped up in for eign affairs and had turned it's back on America. He was certain that for eign questions could be postponed for consideration at some future date, and that reconstruction and rehabilitation and prosperity at home were the es- sentials worthy of first considera- tion.
 But wherever he has turned the spec ter of our international relations has

congress has sought to turn it's att tention to the tariff and to taxation and the problems of the farmers and the railroads But here again the interna- tional aspect of each situation crops up and cries out for consideration. It is small wonder that Herbert Hoover, in an address before the National Cham Der of commerce this week declared: ''Our domestic recuperation is sadly in- terlocked with the recovery of Europe. In some ways the situation is even more difficult than that following the Civil war, because today our economic ma chipery is more intricate and less easy to adjust, and we are not dealing with a domestic situation as then, but with a world situation.
 MAY HAVE TO FIGHT
 Not only has the United States been drawn afresh into the European vortex, but there is a feeling in Washington that to maintain our place of eminence ill world affairs we may have to fight for it. What else could have .,oeen the 4aneaning of the great shout with which the House of Representatives knocked out of the naval appropriation bill a pro- vision that no money be spent on ship construction until a world disarmament congress had been called7 What
 could have been the meaning of Pres ident Harding's address in New York

MAY DAY FINDS AMERICAN LABOR
 IN CALM FRAME
A. F. of L. Loses No 0pportu- nity to Make Clear Its Lack of Sympathy With Inter-
 national Labor Holiday
By RALPH BARTON
DS NefhAh HI DNhAON Special Correspondent to The Age-Herald lCopyright, 1921, by. The Age e-Herald


 (Copyright, 1921, by The Age e-Herald)
 Washington, April 30.-(Special.) J. May Day, always greeted with ap- preciation by the ruling powers of Europe, finds the labor situation in the United States disturbed and un- certain, but relatively calm as com pared with that in almost any of the large nations abroad.
 The controversies involving the sea- men, the printing trades and the build ing trades are the only labor difficult ties that have come into prominence of late, and with the exception of the seamen 1t is probable that settlements will be reached In all these without serious trouble.
 The American Federation of Labor has lost no opportunity to make clear it's lack of sympathy with the interna- tional labor holiday, and to point out that the usually large number or strikes called on or about May 1 is the result, not of revolutionary tenden- cies, but of the lapsng of union com tracts at that time, Last year a man. ifesto was issued from the federations offices disavowing any sympathy with the international holiday; and the re- cent break between the federation and the Labor Internationale has served to intensity the former feeling.
 ALL SERENE HERE
 While serious outbreaks are there- fore expected tomorrow In France, while reds" and whites" are potting each other in the streets of Milan and other industrial cities of Italy, and a state of turmoil in which almoA anything Is possible. labor in Ameri- ca continues its way on the old es- tablished trade union lines The ex- clusiveness of the American Fedora tion of Labor as whole and it's in- sistence on local autonomy-one of the big causes of the break with the In> ter inationale-are $rZtterned directly after the exclusiveness and local au- tonomy of the craft unions.
 Only three unions in the federation are organized along. industrial lines the miners, the seamen and the gar ment workers. Industrial unions are not encouraged by the policy of Sam uel Gompers, and the printing trades at least, have abandoned that form of organization after giving it trial.
 It is of particular interest, however, that the present revolt against MT. Gompers in trade union ranks is said to contemplate the election of presi- dent John L. Lewis of the miners union--one of the industrial unions as his successor. It has been rumored that MT. Lewis has been consulted about the proposal to oust the aged leader, and that he has agreed to be- come a candidate against MT. Gompers

each case where penitentiary sentence were imposed, and in instances where fines were assessed, Judge Evans said he would parole the defendants for two weeks in the custody of their att torneys. Those receiving sentences were paroled in the custody of their attorneys until they could arrange honds pending the hearing of the mo- tions.
 Those receiving sentences included railroad employees, expressmen and civilians

in the election of June IS next Even the carpenters, for years the main stay of the present regime, are said to favor a change, and 1t Is admitted by many labor men that the chances against Mir. Gompers' re-election to the presi- dency of the federation are greater than In any past year.
 CAUSE OF OPPOSITION
 The reason for the present opposi- tion to MT. Gompers, of course, Is the realization by labor that his leadership has left the union organization after the war in an extremely bad strategic position. While labor in Europe on this eve of May day is more vigorous than ever before labor in the United States Is carrying on the defensive and very possibly losing fight against the "oren shop" movement and other op- porents. The feeling that MT. Comp CTS is trying to capitalize sentiment on the ground that 1t would not be quite right to throw out 8 man so old in the labor movement has also created some-antagonism to him, If the pres ent insurgent movement succeeds in electing MT. Lewis the federation ma- chine will have received a severe jolt, and the more radical members of the organization will possibly gain repre- sentation on the executive council. Mir. Lewis is not particularly a friend of the radicals nor are they interested in him, except as a means of breaking down the GomperS regime. Once that has been accomplished, they believe 1t will be possible to make some headway in the organization; but they realize that aid from the conservatives Is es- sential if they are to succeed in oust-
 ing MT. Gompers at all.

STORM SUFFERERS
 ARE GIVEN HELP
Vernon Sends Supplies of Food and Clothing to Thirty-one
 Families In District

Vernon, April So.--(Special) )-People in Vernon witnessed most wonderful sight when wagons were filled with supplies. such as furniture, food and clothing, for 31 families who had lost everything in the recent storm which swept some sec tions of the county.
 Every family was amply supplied with enough to begin it's home again. This distribution was made possible by the response on the part of the people of Lamar and Fayette counties, with spe- cial donations from the American Red Cross, the county of Geneva and the cities of Birmingham and Memphis and other places.
 Besides the donations of food, clothing, furniture and money from all parts of Lamar and Fayette counties, there were hundreds of men and boys who went into the stricken district and worked for sev- eral days in rebuilding and clearing up the debris from the farms. Tents have been secured from the state, and the American Red Cross sent 127 blankets, 125 cots and $500 cash. Other donations were made in money which will go to help the many needy families
 The whole of Lamar county is grateful for every bit of aid given. Iowa has 2o8,120 farms, of which nearly one half are operated by their

Hanging by One Foot
To be on a railway trestIe in the
Canadian Rockies during a snowstorm
is not in itself a comfortable situation
1t is still less comfortable if freight
train wants to occupy the trestle at the
same time. Two men who were caught
in that predicament found themselves
indeed in extreme danger, and one was
saved from death as if by miracle.
We had been following the railway
tracks on foot for some time, says Mr.
G. Montague, who tells the story in
the Wide World Magazine, and it was
now dark We had only one thought in
mind, and that was to reach Boomers
Ferry before morning. The railway
follows tortuous route whereabouts

These trestles are just little wider
than the rails, jutting out on either
side perhaps twenty inches. Every
forty or fifty yards there is small
platform built at the side. On each
platform is barrel of water-to be
used, ! presume, in case of fire.
We had travelled perhaps ten miles
when we came to one of the trestles
and started across. We had almost
reached the center of it when to our
horror the headlight of freight train
flashed on from behind. We had not
been able to hear the train coming
on account of the storm. We had just
passed one of the stands holding the
water barrels, and, since / was a few
yards ahead of my companion, called
to him to go back to that stand while
made for the one ahead. But it was
farther off than I thought. and as the
train Numbered along behind me / be-
gan to feel a bit shaky. ! could not
travel fast because of the treacherous
footing
/ was thinking of hanging by my
hands over the side of the trestle, when
about ten yards ahead I saw the water

whether it was more than twenty
yards.

what happened during the next few
seconds. I made desperate dash for
the water stand and tripped over the
rail. ! remember a sickening plunge
outward and downward; then l found
myself hanging by one foot, and look

into an unknown depth. Overhead the
freight train rumbled past, shaking the
trestle violently.
