.PENNSY TRAINS HERE
NOT MUCH AFFECTED
IN CASE OF STRIKE

at is my opinion that something
will happen at the meeting Of the
United States labor board and the
workers committee this afternoon to
postpone or to completely avert the
proposed rail strike" said w. C. Hig-
genbottom, superintendent of the Rich
mond division of the Pennsylvania
system In an interview Friday.
"A large percentage OF our men will
be affected by the strike in case the
order comes, but it will only affect
our road to the extent of repairs to
equipment" stated Mr. Higgenbottom.
He further stated that The other two
large departments OF the Pennsylvania
system, namely. the transportation de-
partment and the maintenance of way
and repair, had come to an agreement
for direct dealing with the, managers
of the road and that the immediate
operation of trains would not be in the
least affected.
However, the local office Is making
preparations for the strike IN spite OF
the optimistic outlook at the present
time. There was a meeting of the di.
vision staff, which Is composed of the
heads of departments, in the office OF
the division superintendent Friday and
details worked out for the partial oper-
alton of the local repair shops in case
of a general strike of the railway re.
pairmen.

WILL HOLD HEARING
ON ORDER STOPPING
SCHOOL BOND SALE

Hearing on restraining order stop
ping the sale of $50, 500 worth of school
bonds, which were to have provided for
the erection of a new building in
Arlington township will be held before
the Wayne circuit court Saturday
morning. The restraining order was
issued by the court Friday on petition
Of Samuel Clevenger acting as a tax
payer for Abingdon township.
Clevenger, in his petition for an in
junction to forbid action by Emmett j.
Wright, trustee, toward selling the
bonds, says the issue is in excess of
the legal limitation for taxation in Alb
ington township. The state law pro
vides that no bond issue shall exceed
two per cent of the assessed property
valuation OF the township.
Clevenger's claim is based on the
assessment of 1922, which, according
to him, is considerably below that as
sessment in effect when the arrange
ments for the bond issue were made.

u. S. OFFICIALS HOPE
FOR FARMERS FAVOR
ON SUBSIDY STAND
(Ry Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Adminis-
tration officials today were hopeful of
favorable reaction from the coun-
try's agricultural interests to argu-
uents favoring their support of the
ship subsidy legislation now pending
in congress as presented by President
( Harding to a group OF agricultural
leaders. Discussing the ship subsidy
proposal and the relation of agricul-
ture to an adequate merchant marine
with a group of farmers representa-
tives at d White House dinner confer
ence last night, President Harding was
said TO have emphasized the belieI
that 1t was no longer possible for the
agricultural interests to be independ-
ent of overseas trade.
Speaking for the president after the
dinner, Chairman Lasker of the ship
ping board, one of those attending,
quoted Mr.. Harding as declaring that
agricultural production in the United
States was now as closely linked to
world trade as the manufacturing
industry.
This the president was said to have
stated, was true not only because of
the necessity of foreign markets for
| the surplus of raw food products of the
nation but because the manufacturer
could not take care of the products OF
| the farms unless a foreign market
/ was opened to him through an Amer
| lean merchant marine.
Subsidy Necessary
The president also was said to have
stated that the necessity of salvaging
| the nations investment in a greaj
merchant marine as a war emergency
already, in effect, had engaged the
+, government in ship subsidizing and
| thus destroyed the former arguments
against embarking upon a subsidy pol
| icy.
The question of farm credits alsc
was said to have been discussed a
the dinner. The presidents guests
after raising the matter of pending
/ Legislation designed to avail longe
credits to farmer borrowers, were
said to have favored consolidation o
the various bills for that purpose am
the president to have expressed a de
sire to be helpful in this object
The dinner also was attended b.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
Chairman Capper of the senate agri
cultural bloc, and Charles S. Barret
of the National Farmers union, wer'
: among the farmers representatives.
