GORBACH WANTS THIRD
 MAN FOR J. s. SENATOR
Local Committeeman Favors Neither Spellacy Nor
 Lonergan for Berth

A. Gorbach, democratic state cen- tral committeeman for this city, came out with statement today that he would support any good compromise candidate in preference to either Thomas J. spellacy or Augustine Lon- ergan for United States senator this being in the interests of party har- mony, rather than through any appre- hension that either candidate was not fitted for the place, he said
 Although party leaders are hopeful of an adjustment before the state con- vention at Hartford, September 20 sand 21. it now appears likely that Spelacy and Lonergan will both seek the nomination. In some quarters it is feared that wide breach will fol- low, and in avoidance of such breach, the local committeeman is ready for third candidate. He re- ports sentiment in other cities to be for a compromise candidate.
 Committeeman Gorbach would give his support to David Fitzgerald of New Haven for governor and Joseph M. Halloran of this city for congress- man.
 Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa has placed himself on record as favoring Fitz- Gerald, spellacy and Halloran for their respective offices.

now on strike were declared by
 one of their chief officials today
 after final conference to have
 decided to reject completely the
 last strike settlement proposal
 put forward by President Har-
 ding.
 New York. Aug. 12. (By Associated Press) )-Eight rail executives, headed by T. Dewitt Cuyer, today were en- route for the White House to deliver to President Harding the reply of the association of railway executives to his latest plan for settlement of tho rail strike.
 The language of their message framed at yesterdays conference of 1850 transportation chiefs in New York was zeaously guarded by its bearer. Out of courtesy to the presi> dent they said, it's contents would not be made public until after MT. Hard- ing has seen the original text.
 Conditional Terms.
 From authoritative sources it was learned, however, that the message was neither unqualified acceptance nor rejection of the plan put forth at the White House but conditional &C., ceptance which MT. Cuyler declared the committee hopes will be we'll re- ceived by both the president and the country"
 The reply expresses accord with the view of the administration that the railroad labor boards jurisdic- {, ton must he the foundation for any settlement of the strike.
 To Keep New Men. Then to eliminate any misunder- standing as to the meaning of Presi- dent Harding's suggestion that the striking shop craftsmen be returned to their old positions the reply stipu- lates that the jobs will be given to only as many of the strikers as may be required to bring shop forces up to normal thus insuring the jobs of loyal employees and new men acquir- ed since the strike began.
 Labor Board As Final.
 That strikers who are re-hired must return as new men with the under standing that their claims to unim- paired seniority rights shall later be submitted to the railroad labor board for decision.
 If union leaders will consider these terms in a fair manner" there will be no need for further negotiations was the opinion of the committee.

The death of Arthur Griffith, com- ing with such startling suddenness marks the passing of one of the fore most figures in modern Ireland. He was one of the most conspicuou. leaders in the creation of the> new Irish free state.
 He was one of the founders of the Sim Fein movement in Ireland and from the begnning had been among the foremost leaders directing its ac. tivities. He has been somewhat out of the limelight. however, during the recent military activities.

 Early in June, 1921, there were re. ports of London conference at which Irish leaders would be invited to consult with members of the Brit ish cabinet. Griffith was mentioned among the probable delegates. His re- lease from Mount Joy prison fol- lowed later in the same month.

Berlin. Nov. 16.
The menace of widespread upris-
ing against the German republic bulks
larger daily, while other central Eu-
ropean countries face similar threat.
From Bavaria, long seething with dis
content and to-day the drill ground
for Fascist army whose strength
is conservatively estimated at 10000
men, the ultra nationalist spirit so
successfully capitalized by the italian
Mussolini, has spread with sinister
swiftness.
The Austrian Tyror is said to be
solidly allied with the Munich Facisti,
followers of Adolph Hitler, head Of the
Socialist Workers party, and Czecho-
Slovakia is fast approaching the dan
ger point Hungary has her own
Fasci. whose chief inspiration is
hatred of the Jews. 1t is reported
from Budapest that the Magyar dis
ciples of Mussolini have formed a
party in the Diet for the sake of get

berlin Realizes situation.

In the Wilhelmstrasso this afternoon
no. attempt was made to, minimize the
seriousness OF the situation in Munich.
Secret reports received by the War De-
partnieIit are not reassuring, to say the
least. Hitler claims 10000 men at his
disposal, among them spirits ready FOR
offcialdom here Is inclined TO believe
him. Berlin would never dare send
soldiers into Bavaria without the con-
sent of the Munich Cabinet TO do so
would be to risk having the entire
Reichswehr and the police won over 20
the Fascist as the constituted forces
were in Italy.
Meanwhile the terrorization of radi-
Gals and others opposed to reactionary
militarism Is continued through the
medium of the Sp-called peoples courts
which are reminiscent of the Spanish
Inquisitlon. and the runlored abolition
of which the Bavari "a Government has

All that the Berlin authorities venture
70 do to counteract anti-rcpublican con-
spiracies Is 70 nip In the bud such fledg-
ling organizations as the Brandenburg
Heimatbund and the Charlottenburg Self
Defense League. both recently created
by the notorious Silesian Fascist. Lieut..
Rossbach, whose arrest and immediate
release caused a sensation Saturday. In

be punishable with a fine of 10000
