Among the temperance organiza-
tions arranging Mr.. Johnson's itine-
rary are said to be some of the most
prominent persons in the social and

religions of India are what may be
termed prohibition religions" While
native liquors are made and sold, and
drinking has increased to great
extent even among many of the peo-
pie whose religious tenets are op-
posed to the use of intoxicants, the
temperance forces Of India say they
must combat the operations Of the

TRIP MAY BE DELAYED.
Likely to Change Tentative Date
for Flight

While the tentative date of August

OF the great British built navy air.
ship ZR-2 from England for the Unit
ed States remains unchanged, there
is a possibility that the trip will be
delayed. it was learned today at the
Navy Department. The ship has still
to pass her full speed acceptance
trials and bad weather has held up
the tests for ten days, it was said.
The August % date was set on the
assumption that the ZR-2 would pass
her tests and be formally accepted
well prior to that time. On prelimi-
nary builders trials. however, minor
defects were developed which have
since been corrected in preparation
for the full speed acceptance flight.
No opportunity for that flight has
been presented since then, the de-
partment has been advised. owing to
weather conditions. Officers here still
are hopeful. however, that the big
ship will get away for Lakehurst.

Relying On Public

Mr.. Cuyler said the railroads
were relying on the public for eff
fective aid in bringing about the
necessary reduction in labor and
other transportation costs and that
they hoped for labor's cooperation.
He declared the railroads had taken
the first step to relieve existing
business depression and had given
an earnest example of their fixed
purpose to reduce rates and to re-
lieve, at the earliest practicable
moment, so far as reasonably posi-
BILE, the public's transportation bur-
der.
The executives passed resolu-
tion to the effect that in the event
of disagreement between the rail-
road officials and their employees in
on wage reductions. the
necessary steps under the law would
be to apply to the railway labor
board for quick action.
