Dublin, July 1.-Dublin was rela- lively quiet at il o'clock tonight, all though there were sounds of sniping in the districts occupied by the in surgents, there was no indication Of an offensive by the national troops.
 Somo fighting was In progress in the north of the city and Amisns street. and movements of national troops passing through the city were accompanied by the usual fuslllades from barricaded strongholds. Tho main ,thoroughfares of Dublin were almost deserted throughout the ove- ming.

This district today was one of the most perilous in the city. The garrison in Moran's hotel is believed to be composed of members of the I. W. W. and the dis- trict has been turned into hornets nest.
 The Rathfharnam police barracks. in the suburbs has be-n evacuated and set on fire. The garrison of regulars is believed to have made It's way to Dublin. Irregulars from the suburb of Bray are reported to be entering the town.
 After a comparatively quiet night. disturbed only at intervals by the noise of sniping, the citizens today ventured into the streets, but sudden bursts of "snipe" firing from unex- pected places soon drove them back to their homes.

UNDERWOOD LEADS ATTACK AGAINST
 RATESON GRAINS
Senate Makes Rapid Progress in Consideration of Bill. McCumber AcknoW-
 edges Defeat
nx Associnted Prnss

Washington, July By a vote of SS to 12 the Senate approved today tariff of 30 cents a bushel on wheat. Democratic leaders declared during the debate which preceded the vote that this rate would cost the American people $100,000, 0,0o0.
 Senator McCumber. republican. North Dakota. in charge of the mea- sure, stating frankly the purpose of the rate, was to keep above the world level the price of northern spring wheat from the Datokas ana Minnesota, said he did not think the tariff proposed would be carried on the consumer, but even if it was 1t would not amount to a year to each consumer.
 Minority leaders sweltered through a four hours fight against the wheat rate, talking most of the time to practically empty seats. Despite the fight, however. the minority split on the final vote. Senators Jones Of New Mexico and kendrick of Wyom- ing. voting with the solid republi- can majority for the committee rate
 
 over the House rate, but a decrease of five cents from the existing emer- Eency tariff duty.
 Progress Is Mnde
 With the wheat fight out of the way. the Senate made unusually rap i'd progress on the bill, approving several scores of committee amend ments. The first to be agreed on was a duty of 7S cents a hundred pounds on flour. an increase of 2s cents over the House rates. Other rates approved included:
 Irish potatoes. 5S cents per 100 pounds: House rate 42 cents; dried 2x cents pound. House rates Sh; potato flour, cents pound. House rate 1h cents.
 Tomato paste 45 cents ad valorem; House rate, 2S; tomatoes preserved in any matter, IS per cent; House rate 10 per cent
 Onions 1 cent per pound; fYouse rate 76 cents per 100 pounds
 Cocoanuts were transferred to the free list but cocoanut meat, prepared was made dutiable at cents pound. against the House rate of +H cents.
 Increase Rates
 Rates on prepared fruit were in- creased generally over both House figures and those originally recom- mended by the committee.
 In defending the wheat duty from democratic assaults, Senator McCum- Der made his first public reference to his defeat in the North Dakota primary.
 For 2S years and more" he said, T have been fighting the battle for the interest of the farmers of my state. think my efforts in holding up tariff rates have not only been worth millions, but have been worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the years of my service to the people of my state. shall close my labors

 Pardon Is Granted to Convicted Animal

have dog killed that I greatly loved. and l recall 1t to this day as the sorest trial of my life.
 q am not familiar with the law invoked. According to the news papers, an alien is not permitted to own a dog Surely there must be some way to comply with the spirit of the law and allow this poor foreigner to retain his treasured animal friend.
 If 1t came within my execu- tive authority. I would gladly grant a pardon to the convicted animal. I suppose there is good and ample reason for q statute which makes this dog an unlaw- full possession, but have an abiding faith that the man who loves his dog to the extent that he will grieve for him has in him the qualities that will make him a loyal citizen.
 Mrs. Harding and | are both pleased to appeal for some form of clemency sn this case, and hope this note is not too late to en- able us to add our appeal in be- half of both Silverman and his dog"
 Governor Sproul Immediately wired the justice of the peace and also telegraphed the Pres fdent assuring him that Dick" would be reprieved. The dog had been given 10 Silverman and its Illegal ownership was discovered by game warden. Silverman's love for his dog and the respect In which his nefghbors hold him brought many persons to the hearing in LansdAls last night on the report that the dog had been condemned to death.

STRIKE TOAFFECT
 CARRIERS WITHIN WEEK, JEWELL SAYS
Union Official Laughs at Idea of Intervention by Harding. Claims 100 Per Cent
 Effectiveness
By Associated Press

Chicago. July 1. = Photographic re- ports from 12S of the 1o1 Class l railroads in the country showed a walkout of railroad shopmen today that B. Nj. Jewell. head of the railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor. termed "practi- cally 100 per cent"
 Although reports on the effective ness of the strike are supposed to go to the international headquarters of the six shop craft unions, Mir. Jewell said he hoped to correlate the results and be in position to give informa- ton concerning most of the roads In the country tomorrow night.
 MT. Jewell today predicted the strike would interfere with the operation of tho railroads in the country in week. and on some roads within two CT three eays
 Letter Speaks for Itself
 Asked by newspaper men as to the basis Of a settlement on which the strike would be called off, MT. lowell said his letter to Thomas Dewitt Guy Ter, head of the railway executives organization spoke for itselfp The letter sent to MT Cuyler a few days ago demanded that the wage decrease for shopmen authorized by the rail- road labor board be not put in effect. that seven SSorking rules fixed by the labor board and to which the shon crafts object. these relating prfn- cipally to overtime pay. be continued as they were bAfore the board acted. and that the railroads stop the prac- tiee of contracting out shop labor to outside agencies.
 Would you welcome interference from the White House in the shop men's striker" a reporter asked.
 Mir. Jewell laughed. Why in- vite trouble?" he replied
 What about the contention of the railroads that shopmen working on railroads. even with the decrease in pay effective today, are getting more money than similar classes of labor engaged in other work?" he was asked
 Failed to Prove
 "rhe railroads failed to prove that" MT. Jewell replied.
 Do the railroads have enough shop work contracted to outside shops to keep their engines and cars repaired during the striker he was asked.
 T don't know where they could be-" he said.
 The result of the three strike ball lots sent out by the railroad shop men probably will be announced Monday. MT. Jewell said. John Scott, secretary of the shopmen's organiza- ton, said yesterday the vote aver aged 96 per cent for a strike.
 Representatives of the carriers here tonight took exception to MT. Jewelfs statement that roads would soon be crippled by the walkout They asserted that the average per cent of bad order cars was from 4h to and that the rolling stock was in the best shape since the roads were released from federal control. The percentage of repaired equip ment also Is high, railroad execu- tives said.
 Mir. Jewell spent most of today in conference with heads of the shop crafts organizations. including Mar tin F. Ryan of the carmen, James Noonon of the electrical workers, J. W. Klyne of tho blacksmits, and J. J. Hynes of the sheet metal workers.

 HOUSE T0ADJOURN
Wants Alabama Workmen to Know That House Refused to Make $7,500,000
 Available For Them
By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The Axe-Heraid,
 BOO DRvison RuJldiuR.

Washington, July 1.--(Special.) J. Senator George W. Norris of Me- braska, chairman of the committee on agriculture, today scored the House for its action last night in talk ing recess of six weeks after it had postponed the availability of an ap- proprfation for the completion of Wilson dam for the avowed purpose of forcing acceptation of the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals this session.
 He referred to the fact that only fS votes were east against adjourn ment whereas the vote for postpon- Ing the availability of the appropri- ation. was in a majority of 70.
 It was said that immediately after the House voted to postpone, some of the most ardent advocates of the Ford offer left Washington for their districts, and that many of the pro Ford advocates. including those from southern states. who voted against the proposed recess last night. had equipped themselves with transportation home or made reser- vations for same.
 Word To Workmen
 "I want the workmen in Alabama to know" said Senator Norris, that I secured them an appropriation Of s7.5o0,0oo for the resumption of q project which would have made 1000 now jobs available today, and turned loose 6 monthly pay roll of $20o.ooo. It was rejected profess edly in the interest of Ferd's plans at the instance of Ford advocates In tho House, who, after rejecting 1t. made no vigorous protest against adjourning six weeks in a session which has only eight weeks to run"
 Senator Norris contends that the postponement of work to October will make the cost to the govern ment twice as much as 1t would have been had advantage been taken of the summer months of July, August and September when the water is low.

Union leaders in tho various districts of the territory in- sisted that the walkout was from 9b to 100 per cent complete. No in- terruption to passenger or freight traffic was expected by the railroad officials.
 The walkout of the craftsmen at the various shops Tn the southeast, in answer to the call of the presi- dents of their six international unions as a protest against wage re- auctions ordered by the railroad labor board, was without disorder and with little confusion

After these meetings all reports agreed, the men went their own ways, many go- Ing on weekend and holiday trips to nearby resorts
 The Atlanta, Birmingham and Att lantic railway was the only road en- sering Atlanta that was not affected by the strike. No union men have been employed on this line for sew eral months.
