R ULE ON POWERS
OF LABOR BOARD

Pennsylvania Railroad
Will Affect Body.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-(By A
P.)-The future activies of the Unit
ed States railway labor board, parti-
cularly the scope Of its Jurisdiction
in the settlement of impending rail-
road labor strikes, Will be dependent
upon the decision of the Supreme
court on a case brought by the Penn
sylvania railroad which the court an
nOunced today it would review.
After hearings in the United States

ing conditions, the Pennsylvania rail-

carried the case.
Appeal Courts Ruling.
The latter court held that the
board, having fixed wages, could la
ter take UP the subject of rules and
regulations. The Pennsylvania rail-
road contended that the railroad la
Dor board was without authority to
nullify contracts it had entered into
with its employees. which were in
full force and satisfactory 10 both
employer and emplOye.
Review of the case by the Supreme
court was opposed by the govern
ment on the ground that the ques-
tions raised by the railroad company
were moot, the shopcrafts strikes,
out Of which the controversy arose,
having been settled.
Objects to Application.
Objection TO the filing of the ap-
plication by the railroad for review
of the case was also urged on the
ground that the papers had not been
filed in the supreme court within
the time allowed by law.
The Injunction granted by the dis
trict court, which is now in force,
the reversal of thede-
cision on points Of law by the cir
cult court. had the effect. the govern
ment asserted. Of virtually exempting
the Pennsylvania Railroad Co, and
all its employees of every class from
the Jurisdiction Of the labor board.

DETROIT. Nov. 2O.-CBy A. P)-
Senatorial qualifications of no fewer
than a dozen men prominent in the
public life of Michigan were Peing
scanned today by Gov. Alex j., GdOes-
beck, seeking a successor TO Truman
Fl. Newberry. who sunday rendered
his resignation as senator from this
state.
The governor meanwhile announc-
ed that he intended 10 withhold a
decision until all interested parties
have had opportunity to be heard
and that he did not propose to have
represented in the upper
house of congress by a 'figurehead.' y
In these words, the governor took
occasion to put at rest reports that
he might appoint some one who
could be counted upon not to seek
reelection in 1924, so that the chief
executive himself could make the
race for senatorial honors.
Seeks Right Man.
1T has been said. the governor
declared, chat / should appoint
someone who will not run for re-
election in 1924, so / could run my

man required for the post is that he
should have the confidence of the
public. he said. He should be some
thing besides a mere dispenser OF
patronage" he added

CLEMENCEAU MAKES
PRIVATE ADDRESS
TO NEWSPAPERMEN
Statesman Gives Candid Dis

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-CBy A. P.)
Georges Clemenceau, advocate Of
France, unleashed his oratory tonay
before one of the most critical audi
ences he is likely 10 face in Amer
lea.
Appearing for a 15-minute talk
before a group OF newspaper editors
and publishers at luncheon arrang-
ed by Ralph Pulitzer OF the New
York World, the venerable Tiger"
plunged so deeply into the subject
closest to his heart that il was about
50 minutes before he could find a
stopping place. His auditors repre-
scented many shades of public opin-
ion. Among them were men who
had written editorials criticiZing his
views on world politics. But at the
end of his address they were all
agreed on one thing-that Clemen-
ceau is passionately in earnest about
the cause Of France, and that his
addresses will be we'll worth hearing.
The speech was delivered behind
closed doors and it was generally
agreed it should not be reported
But it was authoritatively described
as follows:
M. Clemenceau made a speech
that was marked by extra ordinary
eloquence, frankness and sincerity.
He said he had not come to America
TO tell the Americans what they
should do. but 10 show them what
France needs His address was a
complete, candid discussion of the
situation "a he sees it, and was
marked throughout by deep emotion.
He specifically requested that no
textual references be made, as he
wished TO reserve the matter for his
public addresses"
Col. Stephen Bonsal. who is imme-
diately in chargs of the Clemenceau
tour. said tonight he did not know
how long tho Tiger" would talk in
his first public address tomorrow

on both sides that there would be no

neither the Tiger" nor the society

sire for power is so consistently sought by

"On the morning of November the fleet
was abreast of the Palisades, with the great
city cleaning dimly in the mellow autumn
haze. An hour later it anchored off the city,
and soon after was boarded by committee Of
the Common Council, which, through its spokes-
man, Alderman Cowdrey, welcomed the party
to the city. Several hours later great naval
procession was formed and proceeded to the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, whence, after taking on
board officers and guests, it steamed out to sea.
1.-THE scene at this moment must have been
an animated There were twenty-nine
steam vessels Of all sorts in line, while the
bay was covered with ships frigates, steam
ers, barges and Other craft, each bedecked
with bunting from trucks to keelson, and
swarming with humanity, while both shores,
the heights the north and east and the
islands Of the harbor were covered with ap-
ca steamer Washington, with the Mayor,
corporation and distinguished guests on
board. AS the flotilla neared the Narrows it
was met by graceful pilot boat, which hailed
and announced that it had been sent by Nep-
tune to conduct the fleet to his capital.
"That capital at this moment was the
United States schooner Porpoise, anchored
just within Sandy Hook, and the fleet pro-
ceeded to surround it, forming circle some
three miles in circumference. Then Neptune
hailed them from his throne and put the usual
questions as to whence they came and their
business there. When he had been satisfied,
the last act in the pretty drama was per-
formed. Governor Clinton, handsome in face,
manly In form, gallant of spirit, standing in
the bow of the Seneca Chief, took key of
water which had been brought from Lake Erie,
and, holding it aloft in full view of all, poured
it's contents into the sea, saying:
This solemnity, at this place, on the first
arrival of vessels from Lake Erie, is intended
to indicate and commemorate the navigable
communication which has been accomplished
between mediterranean seas ard the At
lantic Ocean, in about eight years, to the ex-
tent of more than four hundred and twenty
five miles, by the wisdom, public spirit and
energy Of the people of the State of New York
and may the God of the heavens and the earth
smile most propitiously on this work and rem
der it subservient to the best interests of the
human race

water from the Nile, Indus, Ganges, Thames

Then, about week later, when news of the
opening percolated back to Chicago, the few
folks who lived there were disturbed by the
notion that presently all of their great lake
would leak out into the Atlantic Ocean.
And there was no telegraph, nor telephone,
nor radio to reassure them. All they could
do was to take occasional soundngs along the
lake front to that the water was not grow
ing shallow. And as that was in 1925, Blue
boards wifes sister Ann was probably doing
her very best in the way of signaling when
she waved handkerchief from the tower

And folk gave ear to what he said, and

Of the entire state seemed to have massed
themselves on the banks to greet it.
"At Rochester the canal had been carried

At the entrance to this a sentinel boat had
been stationed and as the fleet approached
hailed it.
"'TEo comes there?' Nowadays sentinels

awaited them all along the line.
