CONFERENCE
BETWEEN EXECUTIVES
OF Rail AND LABOR
Labor Board Admits 1t Has
Been Unsuccessful.

(Ey International News 5civice)
Chicago. July 20.--The belief that
President Harding will call con-
ference IN Washington between the
rail executives and labor representa-
tives within the next few days to
bring about a settlement Of the rail
strike. was prevalent in usually
we'll informed circles here today.
Admission by the United States la
Tor board that it had heen unable
to bring about an adjustment and
that all peace negotiations have
heen abandoned will, it is believed,
result in direct intervention by
President Harding. Unless settle
ment can be brought about through
the efforts Of the President, 1t is de-
clared. a finish fight between the
railroads and the unions portends,
Except for the possibility that
President Harding may act. negota-
tons for the settlement of the strike
are at a standstill today
Conferences that have been going
on for more than a week have
reached decided impasse and Ben
w. Hooper, chairman of the labor
beard, has announced that the board
has no peace program pending nor
any negotiations under way at this
time
Railway executives similarly an-
nounced that they had no confer
ence looking toward settlement
pending with the employees repre-
sentatives or with any mediatory
representatives.
The employees feel that seniority
must be restored IL they return to
work. The executives declare they
will not deprive the men who have
been loyal, of their seniority rights
by returning the strikers. The con.
cessons that have been made on
other issues were fruitless when
each side remained adamant.
With peace negotiations at a
standstill, reports reaching here
from all sections OF the country in
Dictated that the strike was rapidly
taking on moro serious aspect.
Curtailment OF service on scores of
railroads in all parts Of the country
has been announced. II was esti-
mated today that moro than 300
trains have been cancelled as re-
suit of the strike of the shopmen
and the coal shortage The south.
western region, according to all re.
ports, has been the hardest hit.
Leaders of the strikers point out
that it usually takes about sixty
days for a strike on the railroads
to be generally felt. They contend
that the fact that the present strike
is beginning to have = serious eff
feet upon traffic conditions while
it is still less than a month old au.
gurs the strength of the unions and
portends ultimate victory for the
strikers.
Generally speaking, the strike re
mains peaceful with only minor
disorders in widely scattered sec
tions reported.

There are those new governments which spring up in countries following revolutions where there is the incfina- ton to disregard the moral obligations which have been created in behafr oE the country by the preceding admins tration.

STATE GEowN APPLES.

It is an old story for people to won der what has become of the apples that used to be grown in the orchards in nearby towns or nearby states. They are conscious of the well polished ap- ples from the west that are offered to them, but they experience dthtcalty :n getting the fruit that they would great ly prefer. Dealers do not experience any trouble in getting the western fruit but they declare the native apples are difficult to get, and they don't make as good showing on the counter.
 That the cry for eastern apples has reached certain of the growers is indi- cated by the statement made by the president of the horticultural society in Vermont who is large apple raiser and who recognizes that there are ad- vantages of climate, soil and market that favor the eastern growers. His view of the trouble is that not enough apples are produced to meet the de mands upon the eastern growers, who raise fruit that will compare with that grown in the far west. Too great IS there the disposition to let the orchards take care of themselves, produce what they will and almost expect that the crop will market itseR. The reason for the large amount of apples grown in the west is that apple growing is made T business. They take care of their or. chards, insist upon producing attractive fruit and realize that demand is created thereby.
 Apples can be grown, and are grown In New England and in Connecticut that outdistance the western fruit, bu! they do not come from neglected or. chards or from the farms where the happy -go-lucky method of production :. permitted to exist. The call for easter1 apples is unquestionably a real one ant the chance to supply the demand ough to make an attractive appeal to nor, than it. does.

THE FIGHT sTnL ON.

In these days of stock dividends there certainly did not go unnoticed the re- port to the effect that the RDpert brewery has declared a stock dividend that would increase it from a capsCaIi- zation of $1Oo,oo0 to $15,0o0, 900. In these days breweries are restricted to the production of near beer, if they keep wft1in the law. That some of them do not is the conviction of some of the other brewers who maintain that they do. Under ordinary circumstances 1t would not be supposed that there was business enough in sight In the manu- such capitalization as this RNppert brewery has decided up0a.
 The one inference to be gained from such action is that the belief exists that there is to be a modification of the Vol stead act and the brewery is to be maintained under this large capitaliza- tion for the purpose of being prepared to meet the demands for the produc, just as soon as it comes It is not too much to believe that there are others who are disposed to look upon the ex- pressions which have been given at :hs ballot boxes in certain states in the same way. and the indications are that preparations are being made to sucA al end.
 This of course doesn't agree with the votes which have been taken in cer. tain other states in uphoiding pruhibi. tion and the Volstead act, and it is no: in accord with the opinion that has been expressed following a survey oi the next congress that it win be just a. dry if not dryer than the present one.
 Taken as whole the situation nNakas it evident that the prohibition question is due sor much more agitation. There is demand for better enforcement oi the law than is being obtained and fl is not improbable that every possibl, effort will be made for the mooincAs,,,y of the existing law. Certain members of the new congress are going to Wash ington for the purpose of smashing thu Volstead law, but there arc also mem bers of the new congress who are drier l than those who were chosen to stay a l home.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

LabUrs striking gains h the British elections will throw great responsibility upon J. Ramsay Macdonald, the new leader of the parliamentary labor party. Mr. Macdonald. who is 55 years old, has had parnan z tary carey of some 15 years. Before entering parliament he was for many years secretary of the labor paEty. In recent years he has been re- gaTded by many as the coming redical prime minister. By friend and foe alRte he is acknowledged to have the qualities of a statesman. to be a man it for high offlce When he speaks in the house of commons 1t is with becoming gravity. and the house listens with respect. He Is per. haps the most scholarly of the members os the labor party. A typical Scotsman born of Scottish peasant folk, he had the good fortune to obtain an excellent eAu. cation. In addition, he has seized every opportunity that promised an improved position in life. and offered training and experience in politics.

PENNSYLVANIA WINS.

Having been declared by the United States supreme court that the tax placed Oh anthracite coal by the state of Pennsylvania is legal, it is to be ex- pected that the tax will remain and there is no telling but what it will be increased because if that commonwealth can collect ten or more million from the residents of other states for the privilege of burning anthracite they are not likely to overlook the opportunity of collecting more through the same channel.
 The decision has of course been based upon the existing law, and the court finds that the placing of a tax upon coal as it is mined is not putting a tax on interstate commerce.
 But what is going to be the attitude of the other states concerning this CO., lection of taxes without representation? Are other states which dislike the man ner in which Pennsylvania is acting over it's coal going to impose taxation on the consumers of goods of which they are the chief producers?. Not every state holds such a monopoly, but there are those which possess such advan. tages for one reason or another and the Pennsylvania example is not going t. pass unnoticed in the struggle to raise revenue.
 One thing becomes evident, and thai is that the need flor a substitute for coa, has been increased, or possibly the de. velopment of an increased interest 1T the substitutes for anthracite, whtcs many people are trying these days and not few are experiencing such gooc results that their demands for hart coal arc bound to be lessened in the fu turc

A Little Talk on Thrift
The World Waste.

Never before in the history of the world has there been such urgent need of the universal practices of thrift From the most reliable statistics obtain able at this time, the total world in- debtedness is $3S0,000, ,o09,o00. This in- cludes all the national obligations Of one hundred countries and colonies.
 As an indication 1 the rapid inroads that the war and various forms Of waste have made on the resources Of humanity, a few comparative figures may be quoted The total prewar in debtedness of the one hundred countries end of the war this amount had risen to $205, ,000, ,e00, ,006. Therefore, world, wide national indebtedness increased $162, ,ooO. .0Oe, 900 during the 6our-year war period, or little over s40,000, ,000.- 900 a year. Between 1918 and 1921, the date of the latest available figures bearing on this subject, the increase vas SITS DOG, 900 900, or more than $50. .oe0, ,0o0. 900 per year.
 In other words, through lack of in tensive thrift the world waste since the war closed is annually about S10,0o0.- 0oO, 900 more than during the years ot the most destructive conflict of all times.
 It Is to be borne in MEnd, Of course that these figures do not make an en. | tirely accurate revelation of the world wide economic status. Money in itsel is not weakh It Is merely the syrnbo l of wealth. Also, portion of world in debtedness would be eliminated if al the nations could get together and bal ance thafr' accounts. However, taking all of these things into consideration the fact remains that during the las eight years there has been the mos prodigious loss of wealth that has eve been witnessed.
 And whatever has been lost, whethe through wars destruction or througl
 economic waste, can only be restores l through practices of thrift.
 This is a fundamental that camo be denied.
 In searching for the root of advanc ing commodity costs, worldwide econ omic instability, and social unrest, on need so no further than these figures.
 People in all countries must work an, ! save and develop efficiency. And. a America is today the leader of nations
 it is the rightfuI duty of the people c this country to set an example in tnrif for all humanity to follCw-S. W

 A major item of geographical news arises from the accession of the fascis- ti in Italy because of MussoIini's re- ported announcement that his govern ment win seek the transfer of the Swiss canton of Ticino to Greater Italy"
 t'Halys irredentism, born in the late seventies of the last century, bore fruit when the Trentino region came to her of the World war. With that encourage ment it is not surprising that her dream of uniting Italians under the Italian government should persist.
 '"Ticino is so situated and 50 populat- ed that it could not well help being the next place for the irredentist lightning to strike. This canton makes a trow- el-like thrust into the saw-tooth bound- ary of northern Italy-a thrust which became especially conspicuous since sim liar Austrian projections were ironed out.
 There is no gainsaying that Ticino is thoroughly Italian in race, language and culture. It is a question. however whether the Ticinese wish to forego their hard won status as a fairly autonomous unit of the Swiss confederation for gov ernnent by their home land.
 "Across the Alps lies Italy, for the southward traveller through the Simplon tunnel. To all appearances the south bound passenger emerging from the St Bothard tunnel also is in Italy. The little town of Airolo has every aspect of the Land of the Madonnas' and down the course of the Ticino river into the wondrous valley of plenteous waterfalls the Leventina, the people, the scenery even the vegetation is distinctively Ital- ian.
