Business as Usual To Be Ruhr Policy
 If InUaSion Comes
Rv Assncinfed Prres

Essen Germany, May 7.--"Business as usual" will be the watchword among the commercial and labor interests in the Ruhr valley should the occupation of that district by allied forces occur, according to leaders of those interests today, although they were averse to being quoted personally
 In the absence of Otto Hue. president of the miners federation, who is in Berlin engaged in conferences in con- nectio~. with the cabinet situation it was declared at labor headquarters here that no general strike was con- templated, nor was one even under dis cussion. The only factor likely to cause trouble. the labor officials said, would be the importation of foreign miners into the Ruhr, as was reported to be, the French intention. to replace miners who might strike.
 This would be courting trouble" one of the leaders said. It was commented here that the miners represented the only source of German industry that had fully carried out it's undertakings toward the alleS, Wntcn gTesluenL rue
  pledged at the Spa conference.
 "It is the irony of fate that we should be the ones to be invaded,' a labor of- flcial said "We did our work so well that coal is a. glut on the French mar ket and we understand they are ship ping some to Newcastle"
 One effect of occupation by the French, it was predicted locally, would be the strengthening of German patri- otism, which has been somewhat luke warm among the miners of the Ruhr since the arm istice. During the revolu tion and the communist uprising their leanings were toward the internation ale, although 90 per cent of the miners are German
 At the chamber of commerce 1t was said business men and others were will- ing to cooperate with the allies, but that the occupation of the valley was doomed to failure financially and eco- nomically. The menace of military op- orations was considered responsible for the subnormal output of the mines and other industries during the last month.
 What the Ruhr needs Is doctor and they are sending us a policeman was the viewpoint expressed at the chamber of commerce.

KILPATRICK PLEADS SPEEDY ACTION TO
 SECURE IS RELEASE
By Associated Press

Mobile, May 7.-That his health ,s "entirely shattered.'' but that he has "the courage and the will to live on. though not the strength to stand much more" is the message received today in letter from Emmet Fitzpatrick. Ala bamian, imprisoned in Russia. written to his brother. pr. c. c. Fitzpatrick, of this city.
 The imprisoned American urges his brother to act speedily for his release. declaring that ''it Is scandalous that I am held here''
 Further information on the subject of Kilpatrick's Imprisonment is contained in cablegram from Capt. Merion c. Cooper of Jacksonville. Fla. who was imprisoned with Fitzpatrick, but escaped. The cablegram states that Kilpatrick was engaged in nothing but hunnani- tarian work as a member of the Red Cross when captured 100 kilometers be- hind the front
 Captain Kiipatrick's letter to his brother here follows:
 Have written you many letters and telegrams, all by underground means, Of course. Bring all pressure to bear on United States government through infIu- ential friends and in the press to de- mand my release. It Is scandalous that I am held here.
 My health Is entirely shattered but have the courage and the will to live on, although not the strength to stnnd much more. What have been through would fill books. even libraries. You have been misinformed as to my condi- ton"

MOMENTOUS MOVE
 FOR IRISH PEACE
By Associated Press

Dublin, May 7.-Sir Hamar Greenwood. chief secretary for Ireland, speaking today of the recent conference of Sir James Craig. premier-des- ignate of Ulster. and Eamonn dc Valera, the Irish republican leader. de- clared the meeting was the most hope full sign for peace in Ireland in 7so years.
 Tt Is not only the best thing that has happened in modern Irish history" Sir Hamar said but the most hopeful thing in 75O years. No Englishman. Welshrnan or Scotchman wants to run Ireland. Ireland must settle her problem herself. Therefore. the meeting of Sir James and Mir. De Valera is an extremely signin- cant sign. and In connection with 1t I' must praise the courage of Sir James, who consented to accompany strangers. whom he knew to be enemies, in mo- tor car from my lodge to the meeting place. He went alone and unattended
 Asked whether Sir James had been blindfolder as was the correspondent when he recently interviewed MT. Do Valera, Sir Hamar said:
 Not at all; he went with his eye4 wide open.''

Hear Testimony on Blair Confirmation
 In Secret Session
ny Associated Press

Washington, May 7.-Testimony for and against Senate confirmation of David H. Blair of Winston Salem, N. CT, was heard today by the Senate f- nance committee in secret session, but decision was deferred. The commit- tee will meet again Thursday to re- sunae consideration of the matter.
 Charges Of Senator Johnson. repub- itcan, California, that MT. Blair vio- lated the North Carolina primary law as a delegate to the republican na- tional convention at Chicago last year, and that because of federal tax re- fund claims of members of his fami- ly. he should not become internal reve- nue commissioner. were aired thor oughly today Senator Johnson in cIening the hearings was said to have detailed hiB charges, while MT. Blair and John M. Morehead, republican na- tiona1 committeeman for North Caro- hna, denied the charges and submitted evidence in support of their refutations.
 In reply to Senator Johnson's charges that since he had been victor in the North Carolina primary three days before the republican convention he was legally entitled to Blairs vote at Chicago, MT. Blair and Mr. More head were said to have contended thar they never received any official re- turns from the primary, whereas a state convention had instructed them to vote for another candidate.
 Senator Johnson was reported, how ever, to have insisted vigorously that their information and subsequent &C., tion at Chicago were basis for fullow- ing the primary choice.
 Conflicting views also were said to have been given as to the income tax case involving ]. w. Cannon, father in-law of Mir. Blair, and the nominees s wife. Refund claims, 1t was said. amounted to about $l,300. 900. It was reported that the treasury required tn- creased tax payments by MT. Cannon and his children of more than $500. 900. A final claim of $337,0O0, it was said !. was made by MT. Cannon and denied by the treasury.
 This was said by soma of those in terested to have closed the case so far as the treasury was concerned, leaving Mr. Cannon at liberty to carry an af,- peal to the courts. Senator Johnsf,n n was reported to have contended. how ever. that the new internal revenue commissioner would have authority I'd reopen the case and, therefore, 1t would ne improper for MT. Blair to be given the office.
