sOn Monday of next,week the second
annual Bible Conference Of the Pres
byterian church will open. DR.. Riley
who is at the head of the. Conference
movement at the present time, has
promised to be here on the opening
evening, thus assuring most sue
cessful and suspicious opening to this
series of,,meetings. Those who heard
DR.: Riley last year in the conference
will remember him as one who defend
ed the integrity and divine authority
of the scriptures as, few men of the
present generation can. He will speak
next Monday evening at the Presby.
terrain church at eight O'clock. The
meetings will continue thruout the
week with services every afternoon al

ing at eight o'clock.
DR.. Riley will be ably assisted by
that prince of Bible expositors, DR.. J
w. Lawrence of Dallas, Texas, sue
cessor to DR.. c. I. Scofeld, the editor
of the famous Scofield Edition Bible
DR.: Lawrence has made a name fol-
himself as one of the staunch defend
ers of the faith, and his addresses OF
Bible themes are always received with
much favorable comment by his aud
fences.
Harry Butler will have charge o.
the singing. Mr.. Butler has given his
time to this conference movement fol-
some time, and comes to us acclaimed
by those who know, as one of the
country's best song leaders. He is
also a preacher of no mean ability.
These meetings are for the general
public, and it is the hope of the com
mittee in charge of arrangements that
capacity audiences will greet the
speakers in the same manner as last
year.

ROADS ACCEPT PLAN

Board to Decide.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE terms
upon which the rail executives agreed
to accept President Harding's plans
were unofficiaily said to be as follows
First, that the presidents request
that the strikers be taken hack would
be interpreted that the roads would
re-llire only as many Of the strikers
as would be needed to recruit theil
present forces to normal
Second, that strikers as are taken
back return Internationally, their
seniority rights to be established by
The railroad labor board.
New York, Ang. 11.-EXecutive
heads of 14S American railways to-
night conditionally accepted Presi-
dent Harding's second proposal for
settlement of the nationwide railroad
strike.
This unofficial announcement was

greatest secrecy. Officially it was
merely stated that committee rep
.resenting virtually all the railroads
in the country would wait OIL Presi-

CUT ACCEPTED
BYIRAIL CLERKS

!
Springfield, Aug. 12.-The Frisco
system Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks has accepted the plan of the
company to reduce the salaries Of the
clerks only three-fourths as much as
the United States railroad labor board
ordered effective July /. The road
also agrees to equalize inequalities in
rates Of pay where there are present
Inconsistencies in the pay given yari-
Gus classifications of clerks for
identical work being done by these
certain classes. The new scale and
the equalizations become effective at
once, practically.
Announcement of the concessions
given the Frisco to the clerks was
made yesterday from the brother
hood system headquarters here. Off
GERS of the brotherhood said that only
one other railway clerks brother
hood in the country had obtained con-
cessions relative to the reduction eff
fective July l and that railroad was
the Wabash. The Wabash clerks
concessions were not as satisfactory
as those obtained for Frisco clerks
by their officers, the latter said.
The reduction, effective July /, as
applied to the railroad clerks of the
country, was three cents an hour for
those with more than two years ser
vice in the respective companies and
four cents an hour for those with less
than two years experience.
The Frisco would have saved s32,-
900 a month by the reduction, but
under the agreement making a cut
of only three-fourths the amount
ordered by the railroad labor board,
the company gives back TO the clerks
$1,000 a month.
