SMYRNA IS IN GRIP
| OF KEMAL|ST ARMY
Strong Turk Detachments
Posted at Strategic Points
in Captured City.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
SMYRNA, September 11.-Strong
forces Of Turkish nationalist infantry
today were holding all strategic
points in the city. The troops are
under strict orders against Indulgence
in excesses. the foreign representa-
tives and military headquarters have
been informed by the Kemalist COM
mander, Gen. Selah Eddin Bey.
Selah Eddin complained that the
Greeks had committed wholesale
devastation without military reasons
and said his men were showing that
they could make war in a civilized
manner.
Entry of the 1st Cavalry Regiment
under Mursel Pasha, was received
with enthusiasm. This commanders
first act was to take steps to prevent
further firing of revolver shots and
exploding of bombs by the en-
thusiastic Turkish residents OF
Symrna. Refugees to the number OF
$780, are here, having trailed in for
days afoot, on donkeys and in carts
some crazed by famine. Only those
provided with money have been able
to leave, obtaining passage at ex-
tortionate rates to the Iionian and
other Greek islands.

SCHOOL COURSES
CUT BY CONGESTION
District System Will Be Only
go Per Cent Normal
This Year.

Part-time instruction, equivalent to
60 per cent of normal education,
will be forced on all District high
school students and hundreds OF
graded school pupils during the COM
ing year, which begins next Monday
because of the ever-increasing short
age Of classroom accommodations
school officials announced today after
estimating the prospective enrolment
for the new term.
Western, Eastern and Mckinley
high schools will operate on the
doublc-shift system. Business and
Central will have what officials de-
scribe as an. overlapping system OF
operation somewhat similar to the
two-shift scheme. AS result. all of
these schools will be running from
early morning until late in the even
ing, some opening as soon as 1880
am. and closing as late as pm.
Eastern High School will be SO
crowded, despite the dual operating
arrangement, that four portables Will
be temporarily, pressed into use until
the new Eastern is completed. 1t is
planned to have the new Eastern in
operation at the beginning of the
second school semester next Febru-
ary l.
Emergency Measures.
Although school authorities have
adopted emergency measures for ac-
commodating the increased enroll
ment at Central, the officials said it
will be necessary to bar admittance
at this school to all first-year stu
dents who can be more adequately
accommodated at other high schools.
Only students living in the territory
served by Central and who have ap-
piled for the courses the school offers
will be admitted. Children who want
to attend Central because of its arch
itectural beauty and its modern
facilities will be required to attend
one of the high schools that offer
courses similar to this school.
How many part time classes will
have to be started in the graded
schools TO accommodate the expected
enrolment increase school officials
are unable to estimate. 1t was point
ed out, however, that the fifty-two
additional claSSroOmS Whlcn Will DC
available next Monday will only ac-
commodate the children who were
crowded into the portable buildings
at the schools where the additions
have been constructed. Therefore.
they emphasized that the use of the
additions will not materially relieve
the overcrowded conditions.
Expect Big Enrolment.
According to tentative figures pro-
duced by the officials, the enrolment
for the coming school year is expected
to range between $1,000 and $4,000.
The peak enrolment last year reached
rlroxima,ely $4,000.
with the minimum enrolment in
crease estimate which amounts to
2,10O, the officials made it clear that
no additional accommodations are
available for them, considering. of
course, that the fifty-two additional
classrooms will only allow for the dis
continuance of the use of a number
of portables. where the annexes have
been built. These portables. however.
are being transferred to schools where
overcrowding is expected to be seri-
Gus for further use.

Turks Well Equipped.

salute smartly all the allied officers

SCRANTON, Pa, September IL.
The contract that sent $4,000
mine workers back to work at
their old wages after being idle
more than five months, was for
mally signed today by repre-
sentatives of the miners and the
operators.
WILKES BARRE, Pa. September
lin striking contrast to the idle
ness of the last Ave months the an
thracite coal fields today were scenes
of feverish activity. when most of the
$4,000 mine workers who responded
TO the suspension order of their union
ON April l returned to work.
Many of them did not wait for the
formal signing of the agreement
which was ratified Saturday by their
tri-district convention. but were
waiting at the mouth Of the mines
when the whistles blew at am.
Signing of the new wage scale by
union officials and representatives OF
the operators was set for IL o'clock.
John L. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers. declared that
at least 9S per cent of the men were
satisfied with the new scale and that
a great majority would resume work
today. The remainder, he added,
would return as soon as the mines are
put in condition for operation. A
number Of mines were flooded during
the summer by heavy rains and will
not be in shape for several weeks.
Little or no coal will be mined for
two or three days, most of the col
lieries planning to use their entire
force in placing new timbers and
clearing the mines of water and gas.
By the end of the week, however, it
is expected that production will be
we'll under way and that several
hundred thousand tons will be on
the way to market. Leading oper-
ators said the normal output of two
million tons q week probably would
not be reached before the last of this

LONDON, September 11.-Sweeping
the Greek forces from Asia Minor in
a whirlwind campaign lasting only
two weeks, the Turkish nationalists
under Mustapha Kemal Pasha have
won a great military victory and at
the same time at least partly nullified
the losses ito their nation through the
world war.
Thus is created q situation full Of
the gravest possibilities-one de-
manding the immediate adoption Of q

France and Italy-and such policy
is far from existent, according to the
view generally held here.
France and Italy are accused in
some quarters Of having not only
encouraged the Kemalists, but of hav-
ing supplied them with arms and
munitions, although 1t is reported
now in the same circles that they are
becoming alarmed at the unexpected
extent Of the Turkish successes.

Denie. Board Rule Binding.


The bill, Mr.. Richberg said. is based
on an assertion that the defendants
are under a legal duty to obey the
decisions of the United States Rail-
road Labor Board.
There is nothing In the transpor-
tation act creating the Labor Board
providing any method for enforcing
it's decisions except by public opinion.
he said. Even If the boards decisions
were legally binding they could not
be lawfully enforced to prevent the
workers from withdrawing from
service.
He quoted Representative Esch. one
of the authors of the act. as saying
in Congress that there is nothing of
an anti-strike nature" in the law. and
also read similar statements by Sena-
tor Cummins, whose name the law also
bears. From the message of President
Harding to Congress on the present
rail strike the attorney read sections
in which the President bought out the
same absence of mandatory provisions
for the enforcement of the boards or
ders.
Cites Court Decision.
The Attorney General has no right,
Mr.. Richberg declared, to use the
power of the government to prevent
labor from doing any lawful thing to
fight the open shop" movement
Whether the open shop or the closed
shop is to prevail is entirely outside
the province of the Attorney General,
and Is a question only the legislative
branch of the government can pass
on if 1t comes under government juris-
diction at all, he said.
The defense attorney cited the de-
cision of the circuit court of appeals
in the drastic provisions of the in
junction issued by Federal Judge An
derson at Indianapolis few months
ago against the coal miners. From
the appellate courts decision he read
that either employers or union men
may have free access and appeal to
unemployed workers. to win employees
on the one hand or union adherents
on the other. and that employers have
the right to appeal to union men to
become nonunion. while union men,
bers may urge unorganiZed workers
to switch to their side.
Hooper Enters Courtroom.
Gov. Ben w. Hooper. chairman of
the Railroad Labor Board. entered the
courtroom during Mr.. Richbergs at
tack on the governments right to en-
force the boards decisions and took
a seat within the bar. He was ac-
companied by several members of the
board.
The defense attorney defended the
right of the workers to peacefully in
terfere with interstate commerce. To
get around the provisions of the Clay
ton act he said the governments bill
seeks to maintain that the purposes Of
the alleged conspiracy to interfere
with traffic are illegitimate and un-
lawful, but this, he maintained, is not
true. The bill. he claimed. invokes
jurisdiction which has been denied
federal courts.
The Clayton act cannot apply to one
set of cases and not to another, Mr.

Mr.. Esterline objected after Mr..

distinction between a motion to dis
miss the bill and a motion to set
aside the temporary restraining
order, and said he would hear the
strikers attorney on the former
question.
Mr.. Richberg declared in his open
ing statement that the acts involved
in the calling and conducting of the
strike were entirely lawful. The re-
straining order, he said, was one the
court had no power to issue, because.
he maintained. it is unconstitutional
and violates the Clayton act. If the

there was no more reason why 1t
