Cincinnati July CBy the. A PJ.- Charaeterizing the shop crafts wage cut decision ss "a hastily dressed up and obviously unfair apology" for the ESQ., ooo 900 slash. B. Nj. Jewett. head of the six shop crafts unions, declared today that the evidence In the case has been totally ignored and that the deciAons gave rise to the belief that the board was trying "to help the railroads carry Mt their labor policy"
 The labor union head, here for a con- ference of union heads. which today call cd for a strike vote Of 100000 railway workers said that the boards latest cut could be justified by no stretch of the facts"
 -The board was offered evidence as to the amount necessary Co secure the ne- cessiues of life for railroad families" he said The rates in this decision are so far below those necessary that this evil derce must have been ignored
 Mr Jewell charged that tables pub lished in the decision comparing the pur easing power Of railway wages today with those of the pre-war period misrep- -ezsntsd the facts. Based on previous wage reports Of the board Mir. Jewell es- fimafed that in the case Of five crafts nsw ws-sE which become effective July viH purchase less than those of 1915 by over 10 per cent. and in the case of three crafts wil mean a decrease of over 15 per cent in fNe standard of living.
 -Ths employees cannot help noticing the contrast between their losses and the fncreasn ns profits Of the roads" he said. "The nzyron losses of the shop crafts s-nce 1920 as the result of decisions and lay-ons amount to at least S35O, ,O00, 900.
 
 are losinE at the rate of $500 900 900 an- uuaily. Such a reduction makes the 10 per cent. Ceduction in railroad rates, to- tailing S+00.0o0.oo0. look pretty suaii. Someone is pocketing the difference"
 He then pointed out the increasing in- come Of numerous large roads declaring 6f carriers for whom returns had been published showed a net return of s152,- 7oS.7si for the first four months of this year
 Tho effect Of this contrast" he said would be confirmation of the belief among railroad workers in general that the railroad labor board Is not an In- partial court croaeed 10 dispense justice but created to help the railroads czrry out their policy"
 Mir. Jewell declared that the trans portat!on act has given the railroads "a guarantee Of better earnings than were ever before enjoyed and takes from tho employees standards which they believed they had won for all tima"
 The new wage slash also would affec morale. President Jewell said, becaus, the employes would not be able to giv, their highest efficiency as under 'jus conditions" The decisions. he said. sit not measure <p to minimum "eficienc, wage"
 He also pointed out that evidence of fered the board at the wage hearings Ii Chicago showed that present wages woult not secure enough food for the railrOa. mans family.

EIectig n Ireland
 Take Place June 16
Announcement of Results. is Not Expected Before June 19- May Not Disclose Country's Opinion on the Treaty.

Dublin, June 6.-(By ghe A. Po- Nominations for the forthcoming Irish elections indicate contests in twenty group constituencies. With the excep- tion of Eamonn De Valera, Austin Stack and Finian Lynch, every lead | CT for or against the treaty will have to fight for seat in the Dali Eireann. In MT. De Valera's constituency of Clare four independent candidates with l drew in the national interest In six of the uncontested constituencies thirty of the present members of the Dail have been renamed
 Polling will take place on June 16, but | the counting of the ballots which Is an | elaborate process, will not begin until 1 the 18th announcement fo results is not expected before June 19.
 1 In twenty-eight constituencies, where l 12S members are to be elected, twenty have been returned unopposed as fol- lows: In Mayo, north and west, 1 Linn | erick City and East Limerick, 4 South 1 Mayo and South Roscommon, 4; and l Limerick west and Derry, 8. The Sim | Fein panel divided into eight for. the | treaty. was not contested.
 Even the constituencies where contests will take place there is in no case any
 attempt by newcomers to capture all the seats, nor, except in a few individual | instances Is there any invitation to the
 electors to vote on the direct issue of treaty or no treaty. | If all the newcomers succeeded, the composition of the Dali would be ver1ny similar in character and personnel to the -i existing house.
 1 Under the proportional system # Is
 not necessary for a candidate to poll 9 majority of the votes. If he gets a quo |
 would be sixth of the votes polled
 he wins Each elector has a single trans
 ferable vote, and. having given his first
 vote to the individual he desires elected
 he marks his preferences for other can
 didates.
 \ Under the circumstances, the election
 will not afford any certain pronounce
 ment of the country's opinion on the Il treaty. The nearest approach to sucf
 an issue will be in Dublin, which be-
 tween city and county ha eighteen seats
 for which there are 2s candidates. three
 of them labor and the others independ
 ents. Of the new candidates seven def
 initely advocate the treaty.
 There is little public inerest In any
 of the contests, as the De Valera-Col lins agreement bars public meetings ant canvassing for panel candidates.
 The Cork area gave zest to the nom nations with contests in every divi sion; even Michael Collins having tt :, fight for his seat. It Is generally be
 lieved that owing to recent developments including the De Ealere Collins pact
 the existing Cork representation will b , considerably, changed.
 The. greatest surprise of the day wa
 the last minute nomination of Franl
 Daly, chairman of the harbor commis
 sioners. and avowed uphmolder of tn Free State. His entry and that o . Councillor Day, of the transport work l, CTS, are bound to have an effect on tn

 New York, June 6-Broadway-th Great White Way-forgot it's small talk today and resorted to reminis- cences, therein paying rare tribute to Lillian Russell, the blond beauty who never grew old, who died this morning in her Pittsburgh home.
 In quiet corners of the clubs, old tim CTS recalled memories of the music hall on Broadway, where Lillian Russell played in the days of Weber and Fields. It wasn't the Broadway of today. but a simpler Broadway-wlen Thirty-fourth street was the center of the white lights"
 Lillian's last appearance OH the Broadway of 1922 was on April 24' when she sang at a public celebration at lie Palace.
 l On the curb around s'theatre town, /" | the region about Times square. dancers, acrobats, song writers, dramatic peo- pie,p all the great medley that makes up stageland, said a word or two in praise of the woman who had just died.
 -"The greatest of them all," they call ed her
 Officially, tribute is being paid by the professional world through their clubs. Floral tributes will be sent by nearly I all of them, The Lambs, the Players club the National Vaudeville associa- Ition, the Green Room club, and others will be represented at the funeral IT 1 Pittsburgh on Thursday. ] But one of the deepest tributes of all came from an old doorman, who, for for ty years has watched, from his perch under the single light of Manhattan stage doors, the conings and goirgs oi stars.
 Lillian Russell is dead I see," he said. There was a wonderful woman 1 A big star, and not temperamental. The most beautiful woman I ever knew, i'ne i still as friendly as anyone on edrth There wasn't a theatre in all the hun' dreds she played where the back stage people didn't love her"

 mitted to the secret sessions of the fl nance committee majority after pro
 ducers of long staple cotton in Arizon;

 This brought denial from Senatc
