PHILADELPHIA, Pa. September
20.-Officials of the Pennsylvania
railroad expressed pleasure that the
railroad had been granted a rehear-

Labor Board on certain points of the
boards decision concerning that COM

In a formal statement President
Samuel Rea said:
The Pennsylvania railroad in this

object, and one alone-the right to deal
with it's own employees without inter-
ference by those having interests to
promote other than those of the en-
ployes of the Pennsylvania railroad
and the service of this company to
the public.
THE Pennsylvania railroad is max

On the contrary, it has made it clear
that it will deal, and it is in fact
actually dealing. with a large number Of
members of labor organizations who

Dublin--President Eamonn de Val
era summoned the Sim Fein cabinet
Friday to consider the situation aris-
ing out of Lloyd Georges action in
caneeling the proposed Inverness CON
ference.
Lloyd Georges telegram caIfrS fgRe q
bombshell to the Irish people. 1t shat
tered the optimistic outlook that had
been steadily maintained throughout
the country.
1t was believed likely when the Sim
Fem acbinet met Friday that It might
recommend plebiscite.
This would mean a long delay and
would give the Irish leaders respite
from the predicament in which 1t was
admitted they found themselves, faced
by the important choice between with
drawing from their position of bring
ing on war.
The Irish press Friday insisted that
the masses Of both Britain and Ireland
demand peace and reiterated that the
belief that mutual craftsmanship would
avert war. Every effort was made to
keep up the spirits Of an Irish people
bewildered by the sudden urn of
events.
Many preparations for war were M
evidence in different parts of Ireland
Friday, according to reports reaching
Dublin.
While the Dali cabinet at it's meet
ing Friday was to decide upon the next
step towards peace or war, it was rec
ognized here that crisis had not ac-
tually arisen. Lloyd Georges tele-
gram, while it fatty refused to treat
with the Irish plenipotentiaries in the
manner they wished, did not close the
door. De Valera and his colleagues
had only to find some fresh wording
of their position which would prove
acceptable and it was believed the con-
ference could yet be held without fur
Their difficulties.

London -- Prime Minister Lloyd
George, from whom the next move In
the Irish negotiations is looked for, was
still ailing at his vacation Tina home
at Gairloch Friday morning. He was
reported to be better, however, and
as contemplating return to London
earlier than he had anticipated to con-
suit his colleagues on the situation
arising from his cancellation OF thu
arrangements with Irish delegates al
Inverness.
Public opinion in England, so fai
as 1t has found expression, ia virtually
solid In support of the premier In his
contention that all the advances pos.
sible toward peace have been made
by Great Britain and that the govern.
ment cannot go further to meet the
Irish republican aspirations.
1t Is pointed out that MFR. Lloyd
Georges reply to Eamonn de Valera,
Irish republican leader, left an open
ing for the continuation of the discus
sions after the cabinet had decided
what should be done, but the prepon-
perance of opinion here is that there
can be no further concessions by Eng
land. The government, 1t is thought,
may therefore decide upon a general
election to obtain the Endorsement of
its policy from the puhlLs.ne.

Then came young Alfred de Musset,
the poet, who had just gained fame.
She carried him off TO Italy, but there

returned to Paris. George Sand fol-

the poet to forget the past. He would
not heed her appeals. Then the doctor
went back to Italy. In desperation,
George Sand cut off her beautiful
black hair and sent 1t to de Musset
as a token of complete surrender. Still
he would not relent. In anger shf

odd Assam Marriage Custom

One of the strangest of marriage
customs is that observed by some of
the women of Assam. There the bride
sometimes takes the initiative. She
goes to fetch the bridegroom, and it
is etiquette for him to hide and re-
sist until carried off. Women of
means are permitted to choose tenn
porary husband, and, when tired of
him, pay him off and take another.
