WEEKS SUITS BYRNS
AS CONGRESS CRITIC
Spokesman Of Democrats Cites
War Secretary as Chief Ac-
cusing Witness.

WASHINGTON, July s. Delegated by
House Democrats to reply to the recent
speech of Representative Mondeli
(Wyo), the Republican leader. on "the
achievements of Congress-" Representa-
tive Byrns (Tenn), ranking Democrat
of the Appropriations Committee. de-
clared in "An Extension Of Remarks" to
be printed In the Congressional Record
tomorrow. that Secretary Weeks
frankly and bluntly told the truth" in
asserting in. an address that Congress
had reached it's lowest ebb.
''Mr. Weeks Is quoted as having de-
clared in a sudden burst of candor," sa id
Mr.. Byrns. that this Congress, which
Is Overwhelmingly Republican, had
reached the lowest ebb In the entire his
tory Of the country. Considering his
long service In the House, the Senate
and as Secretary OF War; testimony
coming from such high Republican
source will undoubtedly be accepted in
preference to the biased opinion of Mr.
Mondell, whose candidacy for the United
States Senate rests upon the record
made by Congress under his leadership
On Mr. Mondell's reference to news
paper editors. Mr.. Byrns declared the
editors could take comfort in the fact
that in such criticisms they have been
no more harsh than was the distin-
guished Secretary Of War. who holds
such high place In the present Admin
tstration and whose loyalty to the Re-
publican part not even the gentleman
from Wyoming will deny.
THE difference is that the Secretary
of War frankly and bluntly told the
TRUTH" Mr.. Byrns added. while the gen.
tleman from Wyoming was speaking
with the United States Senatorship up
permost in his mind" -
Mr.. Byrns declared "one of the-most
disappointing and objectionable failures
Of the Administration" was "its culpa-
BILE neglect to promptly and vigorously
prosecute the war profiteers"
For fourteen months the Attorney
General took no steps to bring these
profiteers to Justice" he said, "and there
seemed 10 be purpose to let the statute
OF limitations run and permit at least
many OF them to escape criminal and
civil liability.
80 evident did this become, he add
ed. that two Republican Representa-
tives--W Woodruff and Johnson-felt IL
their duty to bring this neglect OF the
Attorney-General and the Department
Of Justice TO the attention OF Congress
and the country"
Touching on the failure of the House
to act on the Woodruff-Johnson resolu-
ton for an investigation, and the sub
sequent appropriation of half a million
dollars for war fraud prosecutions. Mr..
Byrns declared
The money asked for was promptly
and unanimously granted. The gentle
man from Wyoming takes credit for this
action. but j submit that the Admins
tration, lashed by two members OF It's
own party who were actuated by high
sense of public duty, can claim little
credit therefor.
1T is severe reflection on the Ad-
minlstration and the Republican party
that the majority leaders suppressed
this resolution in the Rules Committee
and refused TO permit a public inquiry

DECISION or WAY MEN
HARD BLOW TO STRIKE
Leaders at Washington Ac-

Special Dispatch TO THE NEW York HERALD.

Washington, ID g.. July 8.


Decision by the maintenance of way
men not to strike now and to reopen
negotiations with the Railway Labor
Board at Chicago was acknowledged
by labor leaders in Washington to-day
as a severe setback to the shopmen' 8
believed the action taken by e f.
Cradle on behalf OF the maintenance
OF way men is body blow to the
strike
William Fl. Johnston. head of the
International Machnisrs Union. which
includes d great many Of the shopmen
on strike, Is still optimistic and insists
that the strike will stand up and that
other large bodies of railroad workers
will join the strikers
Other labor leaders were disinclined
to speak for publication, but theif at
titude showed plainly that they believe
the strike has been given a counterblow
which will be hard to overcome.
While it is pointed out that the
maintenance of way men have not defi-
nitely decided the strike issue, it Is ex-
pected that the reopened negotiations
VIII result in a settlement.
The explanation for the pessinistic
outlook on the shopmens strike by
labor representatives that the mninte-
nance of way organization. which in
cludes track walkers and other classes
of unskilled labor, are among the most
poorly paid of railroad laborers.
The scale for the different classes
of railroad labor is fixed on a grad
uated basis.
In the case of the maintenance OF
way men wages have been reduced in
some instances to as low a wage as 25
cents an hour This means the men
In this class labor for approximately
$3.50 a week for a ten hour day and
a six day week. If men in this class
are willing to accept this wage II is
acknowledged that II takes away from
other classes of railway labor receiv-
ing higher pay the strength OF their
argument that they are not being paid
a living wage.
The shopmen's representatives here
to-day expressed the belief that some

not obey the order of Mr.. Cradle to
remain at work Signal men, station
ary firemen. oilers and freight handlers
are being urged by the striking shop
men, It Is learned. TO go out here. All
Of these except signal men, 1t Is ex-
pected, may join the shopmen unless
developments of the next few days
show the shopmen's strike is failure.
Careful attention was given to-day
in both official and labor circles to
the speech President Harding delivered
at Marion in which he said IL is the
inalienable right Of an American to
labor where he pleased and in which
he supported the idea of collective bar
gaining.
This is regarded as the Administra-
tion's viewpoint on the labor situation

having some effect, particularly among
the women folk in the strikers families.
The statement given out at strike
headquarters last night by Leaders
Dowd and Williams said in part:
NO one should get the idea that
the striking shopmen ever expected TO
tie up traffic on the railroads imme-
diately after they went on strike. The
impression created by the newspapers
that this was the immediate intention
of the men on strike Is all wrong.
The fact that the men who have been
responsible for keeping the engines and
cars OF the railroads in repair. so that
traffic could bs maintained. had this
equipment in such shape on July that
unprecedented traffic could be handled
over the holiday season, is testimonial
to the efficisncy of these men that can
not be questioned.
The men who have struck and who
are still threatening to strike are fight
ing for wages and working conditions
that Will allow them TO live like Ameri-
cans. No one can deny that they have
given service for the wages received in
the past. The companies prove this
when they state the condition of the
equipment at present. These employees
are not fighting the Government nor
the United States Railroad Labor Board.
They want to live. with their wives and
children. as decent Americans should
live. No one can do this on twenty
three cents per hour and the other rates
established by the United States Rail-
road Labor Board When the public
realizes the true situation there will bs

Tara. .Beautifui Hill"

From the coming. of Heremon, hus-
band of Tea, to the desolation Of Tara
in the Sixteenth century, 120 kings of
the Scotic or Mileslan stock ruled from
their palace on the famous hill. In the
annals of. the Four Masters we read of
the fOrtieth in the list of Irish kings,
the renowned Ollav Fola, who institut-
ed the Feis or assembly of Tara. His
real name was Eochy, the title Ollav
Fola, or Doctor of Erin, being given
him because of his extraordinary
learning. The "feis tara" was the ma
tional parliament of the Ireland of its
day, and met triennially for one week
at the period known as Samhaiptide
(three days before and three days
after November day.. The meeting
was held in the open air in fine wealth
er and in the .banqueting hall in wet.
This hall was 800 feet long and from
60 to so feet wide. and had six or
seven large entrances on either side.
The site can Still be traced.
The last king to reign at Tara was
Diarmaid. and no king after him, even
when called king Of Tara, ever dwelt
upon "the beautiful hill"

What She Must Know.

In a woman's magazine has been
set down a list of twenty-five accom-
plishments necessary before a young
woman can be said to be educated.
And this In these days! If this test
is accepted as whole IL Is as hard
as ever to be woman. According to
this standard woman must know
how: to sew, to cook, TO mend. to be
gentle, to value time, to dress neatly,
to keep secret, to avoid idleness, to
be self-reliant, to respect old age, to
darn stockings, to make good bread,
to keep a home tidy, to control her
temper, to make home happy, to be
above gossiping. to take care OF the
sick, to take care of the baby, to
sweep down the cobwebs, TO marry a
man for his worth, to read the very
best of books, to be a helpmate to
her husband, TO take plenty of active
exercise, to keep clear Of trashy litera-
ture. to be a womanly woman under
all circumstances.

THRILLED BY STATE LINES"
English. Woman Surprised at Sim
pIicity Of Crossing Boundaries
In the United States.

I like the feeling Of crossing from
one state into another, especially as
the American states are as big as Euro
pean countries. Especially also as
there Is only a stone to mark the
division, and the transit is as simple as
going from one county to another.
At TicOnderOga you cross from New
York state to Vermont, or from Yer
mont to New York state. This might
seem an important process. Actually,
you stand Oh one shore and foot your
horn, taking a soft drink the while,
and presently a vessel appears which
Is none other than "a rOomy red punt,
propelled from the side by small
launch. The punt lets down a tail
board, the motor gives ii hiccup over
1t, and there you are until the process,
reversed, takes place on the other side.
This Is one of the few ferries by means
Of which you span the great water
ways from New York to Canada
waterways over which, most of the
time, bridges are unthinkable..
1t Is also the gateway from the Green
mountains In the Adirondacks, blue
and shapely, and from the one you can
see the other on either side of Lake
Champlain, and between the two on the
sparkling blue surface of the lake plies
little white steamer, bearing visitors
to the most historic spots of North
America, and taking the place of the
birch bark canoe with its load of In
dams, who also had their own par
ticulaf interest in historic spots.

Dogs u Scotland Are Alec the Gem.
pabIons and Professors Of the
croftsr Children.

The sheepdogs of Scotland are
guides and defenders not only Of the
sheep focks, but also the children Of
the crofters. Were It not for these
shaggy, intelligent fellows, born shep-
herds Of the weak and defenseless, II
would be unsafe for the children to
20 far. from the lonely and isolated
crofts In the outlying districts. The
schools are far distant and II is long,
rough journey across the moor from
home to school and back again. And
SO the sheepdog goes along with them
and safe-conducts them to and fro.
Moreover. he must carry the books for
them, for the little folk would be I'M
equal to the task Of carrying any ex-
ira weight In the long tramp. Over
the dogs back the books are slune
and no one need worry for the safety
Of the children or their belongings.
The sheepdog knows his duty and IL
proud and eager to do 1t.
The rural libraries established by
the Carnegie trust are also using the
dogs In distributing books among the
homes of the crofters. In fact, 1t
would scarcely be possible for the in
habitnnts whose crofts are so far from
the library centers to share in this
great benefice, were there not the
sheepdogs to act-as librarians. Good
literature for the elders as well as the
children is dispatched and returned
on the sturdy backs of these reliable
dogs.
