< ErTLEMENT of the railway shop
- mems strike may be at hand. Last
week Is. NJ. Jewell, head of the shop
crafts, called their policy committee
10 meet in Chicago September IL, the
day set for hearings ON the motion to
make permanent the sweeping iujunC-
ton obtained by Attorney General
Daugherty. There are 30 members OF
the committee and some of them said
freely that it was obvious that Il set
clement was in sight.
President Willard of the Baltimore
& Ohio was said to be working on Il
plan for separate agreements.
On the other hand, various railway
executives fatty denied that any move
ment was on foot looking to an agree
ment with the shopmen. Their chair
man, Il. Dewitt Cuyler, asserted the
railways already had won the strike
tnut on September l they had 100000
shopmen at work, and are adding thou
sands daily to their shop forces.
Criticism of the unparalleled in
clusiveness of the injunction issued by
Judge WikersOn was not confined to
labor circles by any means, being
shared by members of congress, many
editors and other presumably unbi-
ased persons. Probably taking note
of this fact, the administration let it
be known that the government had
no intention of enforcing the injunc-
tion to the point of abridgment of
free speech or otherwise invading the
constitutional liberties of citizens At
torney General Daugherty indicated
chat there would be no interference
with labor meetings "held for lawful
purposes" but that the government
would step in if the strike meetings
were for the purpose of "inciting
riots" or other violation of the law.
So far organized labor has practically
ignored the restraining order, but the
government agents, while keeping
close watch on the proceedings, have
done little in the way of attempting
enforcement. Naturally on Labor day,
the union leaders, from President
Gompers down, took the opportunity
60 attack bitterly the action of the
attorney general. Later the labor
chiefs mapped out a plan Of attack on
the injunction, seeking counter-injunc-
tions
Talk of general strike largely sub
sided during the week. for all but the
more radical laborites recognized that
such a thing, hitherto unknown in the
United States, could not succeed
They probably realize, also, that the
workers, no less than the rest of the
population, would be deprived of most
IL
by general strike.

= RE4lCE'S army in Asia Minor has
~ been almost demolished by the
forces of Kemal Pashu, the nationalist
leader, and at this writing the latter
is not far from Smyrna. The situa-
tion for the foreign colony in that city
is critical and British and American
warships have arrived there to pro-
tect their nationals. There have been
some bloody encounters between the
opposing armies, but for the most part
it appears the Greeks have retired, in
considerable confusion, without put
ting up much of fight. The Turkish
leaders are said to be much superior
to the Greek commanders. 1t was
reported that General TricOupis, re
Gently made commander in chief of
the Greek forces, was captured by the
Kemalsts.
The Greek morale, both in Smyrna
and Athens, seemed to have been
broken. Movements were said to have
been started to compel King Constan-
tine to abdicate and there were rumorS
that the cabinet was about to resign
and that Former Premier Venizelos
would return to power. However, it
was stated that the government would
not consider the evacuation of Smyrna
or the surrender of the Greek mandate
in Thrace. Both of these things the
Turks demand before they will talk
of peace. The Kemalists, and the
French who are friendly to them,
blame Great Britain for its support
of the Greeks and their claims. A
rising of Turks on the south side of
the Dardanelles has alarmed the Brit
ish, who are concentrating on Gal
lipoll peninsula to check possible
march on Constantinople. Bulgaria
has taken advantage of the situation
by sending to Athens new demands
concerning Thrace.

D UNNING true to form, the Repub-
IN leans of Wisconsin renominated
United States Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette in the primaries last Tues
day. No one with any knowledge of
the situation expected they would do
otherwise. However, "Bob's" majority
was probably Il surprise even to him,
being well over 100000 according to
incomplete returns. 1t was landslide
and carried with it the entire slate
backed by LaFollette, including Gov
ernor j. j. Blaine, who won by more
than 100000. Rev. w. A. Garfield,
college president and candidate of the
Anti-Saloon league, was unable to de-
tach from the senator's support many
of the Republican drys although La
Toilette is openly wet. Then, too,
the senator naturally received the
votes of the large population of Teu-
tonic origin. The one surprise of the
day was the defeat of Congressman \.
p. Nelson of the Superior district by
II. ii. Peavey. Nelson is a prominent
leader of the drys and his downfall
was accomplished by a combination of
the LaFOllette organization and the
Association Opposed to Prohibition.
The Democratic nominee for senator
against La Toilette is Mrs. Jessie ].
Hoover of Oshkosh.
In the second Democratic senatorial
primary in Mississippi, according to
partial returns, former Senator James
X. Vardaman was beaten by Hubert
D. Stephens, former congressman.
Woodrow Wilson, when informed of
this, expressed his satisfaction, which
will be shared by the American pub
lie generally.

announced that the union will stand
back of every union man who is ac-
cused of participation in the muir
ders, and already he has declared that
all such are innocent. Interest of the
American Legion has been aroused by
the discovery that two of the muir
dered men were overseas veterans.

HUGO SHINES, German industrial
L magnate, and Senator de Luber-
sac, president of the committee on
French devastated regions, have made
an agreement providing for the de-
livery by Germany of one billion dol
lars worth of reconstruction material
and work. To obviate the bad effect
of having many Germans working in
France, de Lubersac explains, it was
arranged that the greater part of the
labor will be utilized in Germany. The
German manufacturers of the goods
delivered are to have per cent profit.
The Socialist press in Germany attacks
the whole plan as purely Il selfish con-
tract at the expense of the German
government and labor, aud it esd-
mates SHINES profits at $4,000 100000
marks
DR.. Hermes. German finance minis
ter, is negotiating with Belgium con-
corning guarantees for siX-month treas
ury certificates which Germany is to
give Belgium in lieu of cash. His
difficulty is threefold, for he must
satisfy not only the Belgians, but
also the German cabinet and German
financial and Industrial leaders. 1t
seems likely he will have to seek for
the guarantees from foreign iinanciers.

GOOD TIMES COMING

LABOR TROUBLES.

Observation-Disclosures was given by
high administration officials that the
country must recover from the after
math of the recent industrial upheaval
before economic benefits flowing from
the settlement of the railroad strike
can leact fully upon national business
conditions.
Secretary Hoover took the view
that although the country Is now un-
doubtedly better off than it was a
year ago, it probably will be six
months before high plane Of prosper
ity is attained, while Secretary Mellon,
although considering the business out
look very good recognized as fare
stalling immediate CONNIE cial eXpan-
sion the limitations imposed upon
transportation facilities by ear short
ages and possible inadequate labor
supply.
The greatest loss as a result of the
strike will be borne by the farmers,
according to an analysis of the situa-
tion by Secretary Hoover, in which he
reached the conclusion that the eco
nOmic wound'' received by the coun-
try should be healed quickly. Secre-
tary Mellon was said to foresee some
hindrance to immediate economic re
covery through shgrtage of transpor-
tation equipment and possible labor
shortage.
In contrast with the view of his two
cabinet associates, however, Secretary
Davis of the labor department was
positive that settlement of the railroad
strike removed the last obstacle to
unprecedented" prosperity.
Reports to the Labor Department
from its representatives in Chicago
brought additional details of the score
to which the partial settlement of the
strike was expected to extend. At
least 30 per cent of the railroads af-
fected by the strike have approved
the Observation-Disclosures plan, they
declared, while sufficient other roads
had signified their willingness to set
tie on this basis to bring the total to
60 per cent of the national mileage.
While the losses due to the coal and
railroad strikes have been consider
able" Secretary Hoover said in a
statement issued here, 'they are easily
overestimated."
"The estimate of current coal min
ers' wages lost in the five months (of
strike) is not correct basis of the
estimation of the total loss" he said.
Because over period of eighteen
months we probably will consume APP
proXimately the same amount of coal.
In other words, the miners will work
more days in the week and produce
more in the next six or eight months
than they would have produced If
there had been no strike.
Loss to Industries.
"The real loss would lie more in
the loss of productivity in industries
that have, or might have, to close
down as result of the coal strike.
THE greatest loss is the one being
met by the farmer as Il result of the
railway strike. The export of farm
products has been interfered with Sc
riously by the inability of the rail-
ways to transport products. Prices
therefore are deDreSSpd unuuly in the

independence was inaugurated with

that at the presidential reception
Secretary Hughes took second place
to Mgr. Cherubini, ambassador from
