Chicago, July THE 10000 union
signalmen in this country will not be
called out on strike, for the time be-
ing at least, d. W. Helt, president of
the union announced yesterday after
noon, in calling a meeting of his eX-

morning to decide what permanent ac-

Mr.. Helt made his announcement in

ference with w. l.. McMenimen, labor
member Of the Railroad Labor Roard.
The signaimen's executive committee
will confer with labor members Of
the Labor Board tomorrow, he said.

Disorders began to crop out, with
strikers holding the Chicago and Alton

seriously affected and trains were kept

based solely on the ground that it is
unconstitutional.
Outbreaks like that which recently
occurred at HerriU, Illinois, were not
contemplated when the republicans
had the measure before the House,
but it is now admitted that the Hill
nois county would be accountable un-
der the bill for payments Of $4,000
cash to the relatives of the forty odd
men who were killed in the mine out
break. This development has caused
many persons to hesitate who former
ly favored the bill The attention OF
organized labor leaders has been
called to this fact and it is expected
much opposition vii, come from that
source.
During the hearings before the Ju-
dietary Committee inquiries were
made of Senator Shortridge as to low
such law would affect the possible
killings of Objectionable Japanese iE
California, but the question was side
tracked.
The present plan of the Senate re-
publican leaders is to pass the bin if
possible and let the Supreme Court
pass on its constitutionality. This
would show the negro voters that the
republican party had done all that was
possible for tke relief of their race,
Even if the bill cannot be passed in
the Senate some good speeches can
be made or it by republicans to help
the political situate nthis fsll.
The measure was directed originally
only at the South because of the inSig-
nificant republican vote there, but
there is now no question that it would
apply to lawless outbreaks like that
which recently occurred in Illinois
and would be applicable also to the
California siiuat'cn
The changed situation, loaded with
peril for the republicans, may now
encompass defeat of the measure.

Fire Loss.

London. July 7.-Eamonn De Val
era, the Republican leader, in mes
sage addressed to the people Of the
United States declares the pact be-
tween the Irish parties have been
torn up, that civil war has broken out,
that the Dali Eireann is not allowed
to meet and that the Provisional
Government has assumed a military
dictatorship, supported by the Brit
ish big guns. He gives warning that
strong Irish supporters of a republic
will continue the fight despite recent
defeats.
Complete mystery surrounds his
whereabouts. The Irish Independent,
published in Dublin, says De Valera
left the fighting zone Tuesday night.
One report has him with Erskine
Childers at the head of a mobile force
of fighters in the hills near Dublin.
THE danger to Ireland which |
feared most and warned our people
of-civil war-has come upon Us"
SAYS De Valera in his message. SOL
diers of the army of the Republic
have been attacked by forces of the
Provisional Government at the instl-
cation of English politicians who
wanted an immediate set off to the
shooting of Sir Henry Wilson in order
70 avert from themselves political
consequences which they feared.
"The political pact between the Irish
parties which had ensured peaceful
elections which could have secured the
unity of the Irish army and which
was the only hope of maintaining
peace was ordered to be torn up, al
though the pact had beel ratified
by the National Assembly and by the
national convention of the Sim Fein.
"The Dali Eireann has not been al
lowed to meet, and the Provisional
Government, relying upon the Eng
lish powers, has unconstitutlonally as
sumed military dictatorship, and
with English big guns, English am
and English methods OF press
censorship and false propaganda has
made war on the voluntary soldiers
of Ireland who are simply keeping
their oath to the Republic and pre-
venting the sovereign independence
of their country from being surren-
dered.

They do not want an English King

city school board and sinking fund
commissioners, viii automatically
cease to function at noon Septem-
her l. when the new form of city

However, it is expected that some
of these officers will be retained or
they may at once be reelected for
another term by the new council OF
five.
It is hardly thought that any radi-
cal changes will be made at once
by the city council until business
manager is chosen by that hody. The
method of selecting the city school
board will be the same rs heretofore,
a certain number being chosen each
year.
The new council if they desire, may

like.
Under the prevailing plans the rev

VIRGINIA NEWS
AT CAPITAL
BY George II. Manning
Especial Correspondents

Washington, D. c., July THE an
ti-lynching bill which the Republicans
passed through the House with such
haste on January 26. 1922, as bait
to catch a large negro vote for the
republican candidates in the Northern
States in November has, after laying
dormant in the Senate over five
months, come bark TO plague its auth
OrS.
Directed Originally at the South
where a protest by the few republl-
cans there would amount to nothing,
vigorous protest is now bei,G made to
the republicans from the North and
West which may compel the Senate
republican leaders to drop the meas
ure at least until after election, in
view of the declaration by the leaders
in several states that it may endanger
success in November.
The point has now been reached
where the republican members of the
Senate Judiciary Committee are de-
clining to write and sign n report to
the Senate favorable to passage Of the
measure for fear their words may be
used against them during the coming
campaign.
The eight republican members of
the Senate Judiciary Committee who
recently voted 10 favorably report the
bill to the Senate did so, il is learned,
with the belief that it would be quiet
ly presented verbally to the Senate
and no written report made. Only
one member, Senator Shortridge. Of
California. holds to the opinion that
the measure is constitutional il is
said the others acquiescing merely as
a political expedient to hold the negro
vote for republicans in November. For
this reason ShOrtridge was chosen 20
make the report.
When the bill was BEFORE the House
six months ago the Southern Demo
Gratis voted Solidly against it, taking
the ground il was unconstitutional.
But the republicans, thinking only OF
political expediency. voted almost
unanimously for it, some holding II
constitutional and others asserting il
should he passed along to the Supreme
Court of the United States for decis-
ion.
Now il develops that Senator Short
ridge is determined to make full re-
port on the bill from the committee,
carefully putting the legal arguments
in writing and having them signed in
the usual way by the members of the
committee. This decision brought
near-ranic as this is exactly what the
committee members had rot intended:
nor was il expected.
The committee members declare they
will not sign the report. and assert
they want merely a brief verbal re-
port made that viii not tie them down
on the constjtutionality Of the bill
After 1t IS reported it is the plan
of the republicans to pass it and let
the Supreme Court determine its con-
stitutionality. Il viii be extremely

least. have not forgotten that during
the World War there was functiOning
in this State a Woman's Committee of
the Council of National Defense. which
was affiliated, in Governor Stuart's
administration. with the Virginia
Council Of Defense.
The files of the Richmond newspa-
pers are not accessible, but We are
reasonably sure that the issues Of
January. 1913, contain repeated ref
erences to the devoted and valuable
work done by this committee. OF
course, these patriotic women gave
their services without compensation
but Governor Stuart willingly made
the committee an allowance of S125
per month to defray office expenses.
We think the Richmond newspapers
of that date will also show that the
allowance for Office expenses made by
Governor Stuart was by Governor
Davis cut off; and that the women re-
signed from the committee in Feb
ruarv following.
Now the women voters Of Virginia
who are being wooed by Mr.. Davis
mGst draw ono Of the other of two con-
illusions. from this action Of Governor
Davis:
!. That he did not believe that tho
Woman's Committee was capable Of
rendering service TO the Virginia
Council of Defense worth its cost Of
S125 per month: or.
.. That Governor Davis was dere-
lief oe dutv 70 his country in allow
ing the Wor'an's Committee to re-
tire from the public service for lack
of appreciation on his part and the
paltry sum necessary to defray Office
eXnenSes.
Oe course Mr.. Davis would not adj
NIT that he was guilty Of anv dere-
LECTION Of duty TO State or country in
tirno ~ war. en- the conclusion is nm
avoidable that he simply did not think
tho Woman's Committee worth while.
