ers. W. p. Roberts and David NJ.
Armour, against Leo /. Kennedy.
William T. Haines and others
The case, which centers in this
city, is assuming national interest
among railroad men. II Is the out
growth OF the alleged action OF
Haines and Kennedy, at a conven-
ton OF the Pennsylvania System Di-
vision, at Pittsburgh, on November
and s, when members voted TO
bolt and organize the Pennsylvania
System Fraternity.
According 10 the complaint OF "
ID. Roberts. representing the Broth.
erhood. these officials approved th'
payment of bills for the latter or.
/ sanitation from the funds OF the
former. This action constitutes th'
basis OF the charge OF embezzie-
ment. The actual charges involves
the expenditure Of something like
5000 for stenographic work.

There are reassuring signs OF a

"Our unemployment which gave
us deep concern only few weeks

said.
Relief for the farmer Is essential
President Harding said.
"In the main. the remedy lies In
distributing and marketing"
Railroad rates. distribution OF in
dustry and development OF good
roads should be carried out with an
eye to turning the tide Of popula.
ton back to the counry. he sug-
gested.
Dealing with labor problems. the
President granted the right OF both
labor and capital to organize.
Likewise labor should be regu-
lated the same as capital is regu-
lated. he added.
1T should be possible to set az
judicial or quasi judicial tribunals

In an industrial society such a,
ours, the strike, the lockout and

as Is war or armed revolution in IN,
