WILL BE TAKEN BY
100000 WORKERS
(Ry Associated Pressl

CINCINNATI, June 6.-A strike vote
of approximately 100000 railroad
workers will be taken by the individ-
ual unions affected by the recent rail-
road reduction it was decided at a
meeting of union leaders here today.
The vote of each organization will be

is returnable June 80,
Representative of all the railroad
labor organizations with the excep-
tions of the big Four" Brotherhood
were in Cincinnati, to attend the
opening today of a series of confer
ences, during which recent ruling OF
the United States railroad labor board
reducing wages of rail workers, will
be the chief topic under discussion.
The sessions are to be presided over
by B. NJ. Jewell, president of the rail-
way department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, VIII oarrived in Gin
cinnati yesterday.
Mr.. Jewell said there was nothing
to say in advance about the confer
ence. Organizations whose chief ex-
ecutives or their representatives are
in attendance are blacksmiths, boiler
makers, signal men, machinists, cleo
tricians, clerks, maintenance of way,
stationary engineers, telegraphers,
carmen and sheet metal workers.
A conference of executives of all
the Brotherhoods including the Big
Four is not in prospect, at least not
on the wage question, Mr.. Jewell said
1t was said all rumors concerned q
railroad strike at this time were
merely speculation as only the several
organizations can take strike vote
The conference has no such power, but
will merely advise coordinate action.
The use of the writ of injunction to
restrain the application of the wage
reduction decisions of the railroad
labor board had been mentioned a:
a possible expedient but union leader:
generally do not favor it.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, wa:
expected to arrive in Cincinnati today
but had not been invited to attend tht
rail labor conferences nor was he ex
pected to attend. Mr.. Jewell said.

FOR LARGER FORCES

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Senate
conferees on the army appropriation
bill in continuing their negotiations
with the house delegatio in the effort
to reach adjustment of difficulties in
the measure as passed by the two
branches had the support of President
Harding today in a letter urging re-

Writing to Chairman Warren of the
senate appropriations committee, the

of the utmost Importance and was sat

possible While he thought the days
might come when military forces gen
orally could be further reduced the
president said that for that time I'VE
must await fuller readjustment and
more stable conditions"

IN BUILDING
ACTIVITIES EVIDENCED
IN CITY RECENTLY

A revival in building activities, OF
widespread proportions, is evidenced
III the city of Richmond within the
past 80 days. Over 200 building per-
mits of various kinds have been is
sued since the first of the year, and
new buildings are to be seen in all
parts of the city
The number of houses now under
construction is estimated by J. Ed
Higgs, building inspector, at so, while
building improvements of other kinds
bring the number well up toward the
hundred mark.
The fact that people are building
homes now, rather than waiting for
a further drop in prices is taken by
Mr.. Higgs as evidence that they will
recognize the fact that building is now
on a higher level than before the
! war, and will continue to be So
! That there will be a greater tend
ency toward the use of brick in erect
| ing houses in the next 20 years is the
| belief of Mr.. Higgs. Frame houses
are the most popular now because
| they are cheaper to erect, but time
will show that the brick house is
cheaper in the long run, as upkeep is
! less with Them" he said.
| Modern House Predominates
! The old-fashioned, thick-walled, sub
stantially- built house of 90 years ago
with its forests of chimneys, is grad,
ually giving way to modern house
smaller, with ceilings lower and only
one chimney where three of four were
| the rule before. The introduction OF
the furnace, which heats the entire
building, and lower ceilings, which re
quire less wall thickness in a brick
wall, are the chief factors IN the
change.
Old fashioned walls were thick be
cause the ceilings were high, and in
order to be made safely, the walls had
to have an extra course of brick" said
Mr.. Higgs. Otherwise there was dan
ger of buckling."
Comparatively few new buildings
are going up in the Oldest section Of
Richmond, that part lying east of the
river and along Fort Wayne avenue
Many of the buildings erected in this
territory are brick and are not ole
enough to be replaced yet. One ole
brick tavern, erected in the time
when Richmond had not yet come into
existence and the settlement was
known as Smithville, stands across the
street from the court house, next the
McConaha building, east of the cour
house.

REPEAL URGED
BY BEvER|DCE
Says Sherman Law Should be
Replaced by More Up-to-
Date Statute if Business is
To Revive.
SAYS LAW is THROTTLE
(Hy Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, June 6-Funda-
mental changes, or the repeal of the
Sherman antitrust law, was advocated
by Albert j Beveridge. Republican
nominee for the United States Senate
in speaking before the twenty-seventh
annual national convention of Credit
Men. which opened here today. The
convention will close Friday.
More than 5000 delegates are ex-
pected to attend the convention. Spec
ial trains bearing visitors from many
eastern cities arrived early today. Ex-
ceptionally large delegation arrived
from Atlanta Ca and Buffalo as both
cities are seeking the 1928 convention.
For almost a quarter of CEN
tury | have publicly declared that
the Sherman law to be fundamentally
changed or better still repealed al
together and that it be replaced by
some up-to-date and practical business
statute, such as the national incorpor-
alton act Mr.. Beveridge said. This
cannot be longer delayed if we wish
American businss to function with full
vigor.
Maks Action Necessary
Frequent events have made action
Indispensable For instance, the inter
state commerce commission recon-
mended a railway merger-a measure
which many thoughtful persons had
long seen to be advisable, yet under
the Sherman law, the supreme court
was forced to declare this considera-
tion illegal.
within the last six years worse
/ laws have been enacted. The scheme
for the confiscation of business cap
ital under the guise of tax Legislation
| frankly violates the first principal OF
| economies" the senator said in at
tacking the excess profits and wal
! taxes. "The best measure of that
kind thus far proposed is a general
sales tax. Business is treated as if it
were essentially criminal rather than
in its very nature essentially honest
! Directions are required and imposed
upon business men, and swarms oi
spies on business infest the land"
Business Mal-deveioped
! 'Wise and honest supervision oi
business has been mal-developed," the
| former senator said Radical altera
tions of welter laws and the abolish
ment, if possible, of haphazard regu
| lations and agreements and govern
ment interference by which railway
operation and management has beer
paralyzed, was advocated.
Scales of wages, cost of living, prof
it's or loss to the farmers, manufac
turer and merchant, and whatever pre-
vents reasonable railway tariffs anC
sufficient railway facilities, must b.
removed, Mr.. Beveridge said.
The coming conflict in business
will be the supreme test-perhaps th'
final test-of the good ense ant
sound instincts of the American pee
pie and their devotion to the funda
mentals of American institutions. Blu
something more than legislation 1
, necessary to the full realization of tn
blessings showered upon us. That i
the spirit of service Mr.. Beveridg
: concluded.

Oak 5249 was the best aged stallion
and champion Morgan. This horse,
sired by General Gates, was develop
ed at the United States Morgan
Horse Farm at Middlebury, Vt. The
Morgans were placed by one of the
best known horse judges in the coun-
try, who described the champion as
one of the finest horses he had ever
seen.
As a result of the efforts of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in improving the Morgan and
in stimulating a renewal of interest
in this useful American breed, good
breeding specimens are now found in
many parts of the country. In order
to obtain suitable remounts for the
service the Army has placed Morgan
stations in Kansas. Missouri, Mon

are owned privately in Illinois, Mis-
