federation
In my judgment this is an uncon-
scionable contract SO far az the people
of the United Sttaes are concerned.
and 1 cannot favor it, said Senato or
Harreld. II am not averse to leasing
this power TO Mr.. Ford, but cannot
favor leasing it under such terms as
these lin Ford's offer. Especially do

100 years"
Senator Harreld said that ''in nut
SHE'LL Mr.. Ford's proposal amounted
to turning over to the Detroit manu-
facturer the Muscle Shoals property
plus scores of residences and town
worth many millions of dol
lars, without any cost whatever to Mr..
Ford" Senator Harreld said that Mr..
Ford offered S5,OOO.OOO for property
worth more than that sum, excluding
the city property.
None of the various propositions

any proposition that has been made at

7ears to do so and I feel that within

providing for a part settlement of the

ference of the operators and miners

the opposite stands taken as to arbi-
tration Of future contracts by President
John l.. Lewis of the miners and Mi
chael Gallagher, who had been desig-
mated as an arbitrator for the opera
tors.
Mr. Lewis had declared unalterable
opposition to compulsory arbitration.
hphich was favored by Mr.. Gallagher
All other questions Of an agreement
were understood to have been decided
by them, including a provision for re-
establishing the wages and working
conditions that prevailed when the
strike began last April 1.
While the meeting Of the joint sub
scale committee Of operators and min
ers had adjourned until Monday, it was
learned that conferences in the mean
time had been arranged for the two
leaders, who had been empowered to
agree on a report that would be sub
mitted to the subcommittee Monday
Only the question of arbitration was
said to be disagreed on by them.

EXPULSION MOVE
DRAWS PROTEST
FROM GERMANY
Removal of Teutons
From Alsace Lorraine
Is Deplored.

Paris, Aug 12.-(By the Associated
Press. "A note from the German gov
ernment protesting against the expul-
sion of Germans from Alsace- Lorraine
was delivered to the French govern
ment late Saturday.
The note also protests against the
French attioide with regard to com
pensation payments, saying it is con-
trary to the spirit and letter of the
Versailles treaty and the subsequent
agreements.
The note says that the wholesale ex-
pulsion of hundreds of persons. sud
denly and without warning, and with
no provisions of future means of sup
port, is contrary to international law
and all natural, human considerations
and concludes:
THE German government protests
with the utmost energy against the
measures already taken and those
which the French government intends
TO take"
The measure, the German note as
serts, is all the more unjust, owing TO
the French governments previous
for the Germans TO re-
main in Alsace Lorraine for four years
Concerning the measures taken by
the French government to enforce pay
nents of compensation on account of
private debts, the note regrets that the
French did not postpone execution of
hese measures until conclusion of the
on the subject between the !
allied and interested powers.

IRELAND UPSET
BY GR|FF|TH'S
SUDDEN DEATH
Flags at Half Mast for
President of Dali
Eireann.

Dublin, Aug. 12.-(By The Associ.
ated Press Dublin was shocked
early Saturday to learn of the sudden
death of Arthur Griffith. president of
the Dali Eireann. Everywhere it was
commented on as one of the most
tragic and wholly unexpected events
in troubled Ireland.
Death came at nursing home. ap-
parently from heart attack, following
an operation few days ago for ton
shifts. Few people in Dublin even
knew that the ardent worker for the
Free State cause had been ill. I'm
medlately signs of mourning were dis
plyed; flags were set at half mast on
buildings and ships in the harbor.
The first question on all SIDES was
what effect thte death of the leader
would have on the solution of the
problems before the provisional gov
ernment. His colleague. Michael Col
inns, recently has devoted his atten-
tlon almost entirely to the military
operations against the irregulars. while
the country looked to Mr.. Griffith to
manage the civil affairs until the rebel
lion was suppressed.
Though president Of the Dali Fire
ann, Mr.. Griffith held no ministerial
portfolio. William Cosgrove. minister
OF local government. acted as head of
the Irish executive during Mr.. Grif-
fiths illness.
The presidents associates were
stunned by the news of his death. Not
one of them was prepared to discuss
IFS effects, but they all agreed that
Ireland had sustained great loss.
Mr.. Griffith appeared quite well !

tor his office, just before 10 O'Clock !

DEATH CAUSES DISMAY

New York, Aug. 12-News of the
death in Dublin Saturday of Arthur
Griffith, one of the founders of Sim
FEN, and president Of the Dali Eli
reann. was received with dismay by
Irishmen in New York The belief wa,
expressed by many that his passing
had taken from Ireland one Of itf
greatest fighters for freedom and from
the Free state government one of its
most courageous leaders.
Advocates of both the republican and
Free state movements joined in ex-
pressing sorrow at Griffiths demise
They declared that his teachings and
his works had inspired all Irish leaders
and that they would carry on for him
Men who were intimate with Grif-
nth before the birth of the Sim Fein
recalled some of the interesting chap
ters of his life.

(Tribune's Helena Bureau.)

Helena, Aug. 12.-Although +. A
Hazeltine, divisional chief of prohibi
ton officers of the northwest, who
arrived here from Seattle Friday night
and on Saturday officially transferred
the Montana prohibition enforcement
office from 0. II. p. Shelley to John
II. Metcalf, would not permit himself
to be quoted as to the real reasons for
the suspension of MIR. Shelley, he in
sisted that politics had nothing to do
with the matter.
Il am certain that politics had moth
ing to do with it, he said. because
know nothing of the political situation
In the state other than that it is badly
mixed and / am not desirous Of being
posted regarding it. l am, however,
strong for the man who will effectively
enforce the prohibition law regardless
OF party or faction.
The suspension of Mr. Shelley is
just as much for his protection as for
