every railway in the country by or

Labor Board.
Despite considerable dissatisfaction
displayed among the employees, no
reports of strikes or any serious
threats of strikes were reported to
the union chiefs here today. Approx
mately 1900 delegates from systems
organizations of the big Four" bro
therhood shop crafts, maintenance of

the situation. Heads of the big

this morning before the officers sep

The executive meeting, it was
said, took no action other than to
place the entire wage situation in the
hands of committee headed by B.

Employees Department of the Ameri-

While there was no indication
of dissention between the organiza-

On the other hand the shop craft

man in the hearings, which adjourn

the inference that he would have
been willing for Mrs. Stillman to
have started their divorce battle in
stead of himself if it had been pos

One question sought to learn whe-
ther the banker before instituting
this suit had expressed willingness to
Mrs. Stillman's attorneys for her to
start proceedings for a divorce if
she wanted one. Another inquired if
he had not later been told that as a
defendant in a divorce action he could
not test Guy Stillman's paternity.
Then it was asked if he had not
brought the action against his wife
and her child as a result of this in
formation. None of these questions
were answered, the referee uphold
ing objections by the defense coun-
sci.

cars jammed on the bridge, FIVE

perforce, halted many blocks from

The setting for the bout will be in
keeping with magnitude of the af-

more than $1,000 spectators, and
most of them have been sold. A purse
of $5OO,O0O has been given by Promo

Immediately. President. Harding is
the guest of Senator Frelinghuysen,
over the holiday.
Final action on the measure was
made by the senate adopting the com
ference report by vote of SO. to 19
after a day of debate in which the
democratic members made last as
sault on the resolution. The house
acted yesterday, the vote being 263
to SO. .t ~
The signing of the measure by
President Harding will open the way
for resumption of diplomatic rela-
tions with both Germany and Aus
tria, but administration officials, as
indicates that plans for this have not
been worked out. All opponents of
the resolution were democrats but
three, Shields, of Tennessee, Walsh
of Massachusetts; and Watson, of
Georgia, voted with the republicans
for adoption. Senator Reed, democrat,
was paired in its favor.
Final debate today was principal
ly by democratic opponents, who de-
clared that the republican plan was
futile and would necessitate a separ-
ate treaty of peace later or ratiica-
tion of the treaty of Versailles.
Brandegee Leads Fight
For the republicans Senator Bran
degee, of Connecticut made the prin-
cipal address declaring there would
not be treaty of teeth" but pro-
badly one of more Commerce" which
he said, would deal with questions
arising out of the war. Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, republican leader,
the discussion briefly, mainly
to support Senator Brandegee's con-
tentions. Arguing that peace treaty
was not necessary to conclude wars, =
Mr.. Lodge said the United States had
negotiated treaties of commerce with
Great Britain in 1912 and 1915 and
also with Spain after the Spanish
war.

majority of the experts and the non
experts don't give his opponent a pale
blue look-in.
If he wins-why not? How could he
lose? If he doesn't-what fiopl What
an unspeakable piece of mush! You can
gamble that all this is running through
Dempsey's mind. 1t showed this after
noon, especially in comparison with the
same type of a sweltering late June af-
ternoon Of two years back.
In this workout we paid particular
attention to the signs of Dempsey's
being muscle-hound. He may be work
ing his way to that state of affairs
for some future bout, but the state
isn't here yet. He hasn't the muscular
freedom and suppleness of the top
days, condition shown for the first
time in his fight with Brennan, but
compared to any other heavyweight of
the day he still is quick enough at
hitting to reach any man in the ring,
and the old thud is still there.
He may not hit Carpenter as quickly
and as easily as he would have hit him
two years ago. but he is fast enough
to hit him, and when he does something
IS bound to bend, if not to break
There was slight falling off in the
snap of his punches, but no telescope
eye was needed to see that the crush
ing effect was still on hand.
AS We saw Dempsey at Maumee Bay
IN the glory not only of his youth but
of his unmarked dreams of coming tri-
umph, we can't visualize the French
boxer lasting out the opening round.
AS we saw Dempsey closing out his

ualize Carpenter standing above the
beaten champion, but we can at least
sniff prospects of lively melee that
may well go from four to six rounds
before taps sounds above the Euro
pean's dreams of worldwide conquest.
The Dempsey of Maumee Bay, the
careless kid who was on his way down
the road of foolish dream, the dream
that attainment means happiness, has
passed on and out. The Dempsey who
mechanically swung away at O'Hare
and Williams for two rief intervals
and was glad enough when time was
called happened to be merely dis
illusioned champion, who will be
in winning, will be farther along than
he was before, outside of financial
gain, which is still his, win or fail.

has brought the worried look 70 his
face and in affecting his mental atti-

physical being. For the two go to-
gether, and no one yet has found the
separating wedge where one can carry
the new-found strain of worry and

ment for the testing day. For Demp-
sey to-day is a worried man, and Car
'entier is only small part of the
cause of it.
