WILL Of LORD
N0RTHCL|FFE
|SC0NTESTED
Two Testaments Made
by British Publisher in
Distributing Estate.
Fate of London Times
Depends on DISPOSE
ton of Holdings.

London. Aug. 27-(By The Associ-
ated Press. The ownership of the
London Times and the policy of Lord
Northcliffe's leading newspaper were
questions which dominated Sunday S
newspapers. incidentally. it was learn
ed that there ia TO be contest over
Lord Northcliffe's will and three cav
eats have been entered against its pro-
test. 1t now develops that Lord North
cliffe made two wills, one dated March
%, 1919. and another shortly before
his death, of which the sole executor
is Lady Northcliffe.
The admitting of the win to probate
will end all speculation concerning its
contents. There are those who believe
that Lord Northcliffe took steps per-
petually TO dominate the policies of
the Times by some sort of organiza-
ton similar to the Cecil Rhodes trust
or the Rockefeller Foundation. 1t is
ciiffe's shares in the Lendon Times are
disposed of in open market. there will
be a scramble like that of 1908, when
Harmsworth, by his strategy. barely
nosed out Arthur Pearson, as successor
to the Walter interests. who controlled
the newspaper for century.
James L. Garvin, in the Observer.
mentions possible buyers of the Times,
naming Sir John Ellerman, the second
largest shareholder in the paper. and
Lord Rothermore, Viscount North
cliffe's brother, who. if conditions per-
mitted, would buy the Times for his
heir, Esmond Harmsworth. Three or
four others, among them foreign pub
hshers, have been mentioned. but Gar
win says that any attempt by outsiders
to get control of the Times will fail
The Express asserts that Lord
NOrthcliffe's estate is estimated at
4 600, 900 pounds, on which heavy death
duties must be paid. This will likely
compel the trustees to dispose of GER
tain of his interests and therefore it
is anticipated that control of the Times
will eventually pass into other hands.
An interesting turn was taken IL
Lord Northc!iffe's affairs by the enter
ing fthree caveats against the ad-
ministration of the will or the granting
of letters of administration to the
Northcliffe estate. This will prevent
the administration of the estate until
persons entering the caveats have
been heard. Two of the caveats were
made by Henry Preuss Arnholz. Lord
Northcliffe's solicitor and an old friend.
and by Sir George Sutton, who was
chairman of the Amalgamated Press.
Arnhoiz and Sutton are executors and
trustees of the will dated March 80.

World is authority for the statement
that just before his death Lord North
cliffe executed another will. of which
Lady Northcliffe alone is executrix.
A writ of summons has been issued.

of these wills shall be admitted.

Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen who

Mr.. Lee said he had sent a telegram

The telegram was in reply to one
sent by the lodge to Mr.. Lee.

Conyrtght 1922 BY The Great Falls Tribune.
Washington, Aug. 2.-Representa-
tive Frank Mondell, republican leader
in the house, has real stiff fight on
his hands in his attempt to succeed
John ID. Kendrick, democrat, in the
United States senate. Mr.. Mondel' $
greatest difficulty is in finding out
lust where and how to attack Senator
Kendrick. Already it is being said in
Wyoming that when it comes TO voting,
Senator Kendrick is just about ''as
good a republican" as Mr.. Mondell.
In most of the states of the union
the congressional elections this fall
will turn upon the tariff bill. That
bill cannot be an issue in Wyoming,
for it is republican bill and Senator
Kendrick. democrat, voted for it, He
also voted solidly with the republicans
on every increase in duties on prod
ucts in which Wyoming was inter
ested. Senator Kendrick was in the
'agricultural-tariff bloc and he
turned deaf ears TO all democratic de
nunciation of tie Fordney -McCumber
issue.
Mr.. Mondell's dilemma is in trying
to find something that he would have
done for Wyoming in the senate that
Senator Kendrick failed to do The
republicans whose interests were cen
tered in the tariff bill are admitting
that Senator Kendrick voted right" in
every instance.
1t has been suggested to Mr.. Mon
dell by some of his political advisors
that he go frankly before the people
of the state and say to them that
while Senator Kendrick voted with the
republicans on all matters of vital
concern to the state, that if Wyoming
believes in republican policies they
should send a republican to the SEN
ate. They have suggested to Mr.. Mon
dell to take position that the state
would gain better and more influ-
entail reputation on the important end
of the state by having a republican
senator in a time of republican con-
troll. Mr.. Mondell will say that no
matter how often Mr., Kendrick voted
with the republicans he could not sit
with the republicans in their closed
committee meetings at which the
tariff bill was framed.

and the outcome is difficult to fore
cast.
Ray Baker, formerly director of the
mint, and holdover Beau Brummell of
the Wilson administration, tells a re
markable story of how his $1,000
automobile was stolen from the court
yard of his hotel a short time ago.
The car, located in Detroit, has just
made its way back to Washington,
somewhat the worse for wear.
The thief was no ordinary low, vul-
gar person, but an aesthetic soul who
appreciated the fact that Ray had a
taste in cars just as wonderful as his
eye for all the more expensive forms
of trappings. Knowing that Rays
car was one of supreme elegance, a
sort of number four superior kind of
car, the thief dressed for the part he
was to play. Not only did he dress
for the part but he mingled-mingled
for a long while one evening with the
throng in Rays hotel, a hOstelry with
the proud boast that five cabinet mem
bers-one- half of the presidents Off
cial family-make their abode therein.
After mingling with the throngs and
watching the dancers, the zero hour
for the theft arrived. 1t is to be
presumed hat among those with whom
he mingled in the lobby <hrong was
Ray himself. 1t is also ito be sup
posed that he saw Ray disappear into
one of the elevators. 1t was then that
he acted. He sort of burst out of
the lobby, according TO the story
which reached Ray later. He burst
out so hastily that he nearly knocked
the taxi starter down. He was
dressed in faultless white flannel
trousers, sport shoes, a blue serge
coat and a jaunty yachting cap.
After giving the taxi starter black
look which put the starter in his place,
the thief hopped into Rays car.

of the hotel, shifted the gears rather
noisily, gave a toot to the horn and

ASKS SENATE PROBE
Of ASSOCIATION Of
RAILROAD MACNATES
Strike Committee Chairman
Wires Cummins; At
tacks Cuy1er.

New York. Aug. 7.-Investigation Of
the Association of Railway Executives
by the United States senate as being
directly responsible for the failure TO
end the railroad shopmen's strike was
suggested in telegram sent Sunday
by John j. Dowd, chairman of the CEN
ira, strike committee for the metro
politan district, to Senator Albert B
Cummins, chairman of the interstate
commerce committee of the senate.
After suggesting that the committee
investigate the association in its rela-
tion to the present shopmen's strike
and OF its organization and activities in
general" the telegram continues:
THE group of individuals has effect
ually prevented settlement of the
railroad strike, even when such a set
tlement was urgently requested by the
president of the United states and
agreed to by the unions involved"
Asserting that the rejection of the
mediation proposals by the railway ex
ecutives did not represent the opinion
of majority, the telegram added:
THE evidence is overwhelming that
the proceedings of this association have
for the past year been manipulated
and controlled contrary to the best IN
terests of the railroads and the public
by T. Dewitt Cuyler and l.. Il. Loree.
An examination of individual members
of this association on the witness stand
would reveal situation that would
startle the country and prove of in
estimable benefit TO both the American
railroad industry and to the public at
large"
Commenting on the telegram, Chair
man Dowd Said;

GOMPERS LAUDS
SOLIDARITY Of
LABOR UNIONS
Congratulates Organi-
cations on Victories
During Year.

Washington, Aug. 27-Organized
labor groups have every reason to con-
gratulate their memberships with the
coming of Labor day in 1922, because
of the industrial and political SOL
idarity of the working people, because
of the failure of the employers to bring
about wage reductions and because of
determination within themselves to
push forward" Samuel Gompers. pres
ident of the American Federation of
Labor, declared in an address published
in the Forthcoming issue of the Amer
lean Federationist. There has been a
general resistance of American labor
to the program of wage reduction and
union smashing" and it has been sue
cessful, he asserted.
1T is safe to say that the full vol
ume of wage reductions since the
armistice. if averaged up and spread
over the working population, would
amount to less than ) per cent" Mr..
Gompers said, adding that this is stark
defeat for employers"
''It is a magnificent victory for the
workers" he continued. There are
no terms too strong to describe the i'm
portance of this victory for labor. 1t
is a victory the celebration of which
every useful citizen can join, because
the purpose of those employers who
sought to reduce wages was not to re
duce the final cost of commodities. not
so that there might be a larger volume
of commodities produced, but it was so
that there might be a larger profit in
the production of commodities, lower
wage for the worker and a relatively
higher cost TO the consumer"
In regard to the future, Mr.. Com
pers said:
Labor day, 1922, finds the workers
confronting the same elemental issues
with which they have been forced to
contend since the armistice and with
which they have been forced to contend
in a general way over a still longer
period of years.
But Labor day, 1922, finds the
workers in a position of greater advan-
tage than before The crucial period
of unemployment has passed. The
wage reduction movement long since
lost its principal momentum, and the
movement to establish the so-called
open shop, which is in reality the non
union shop has proven without effect.
Labor has every reason to congrat-
ulate itself on the occasion of it's Labor
day celebrations this year. These con-
gratulations, however, must be accom-
panied by determination to continue the
struggle.
'fThere can be no relinquishing of
vigilance at any point. We have held
our ground because of our understand
ing and our solidarity. If these are
relinquished at any moment, we shall
lose that which we have thus far held
lose them to the detriment not only of
the workers, but of our entire indus
trial life

Washington, Aug. 27-Exact scope
of the administration policy in dealing
with the rail and coal strikes is ex-

few days as a result of preparations
for legislative action, which appeared
Sunday night to be nearing completion
Whether the emergency legislation to

include a presidential authorization to
take over and operate rail and coal
properties was question that still re-
mained unanswered, but it was indicat-
ed that the administration probably
would soon make a final decision on
the point.
In some quarters it was believed that
the proposal TO arm the executive with
these emergency powers would finally
be threshed over among the leaders,

London, Aug. 27.-The European
plot thickens. One fact is clear. The
collapse of the London conference has
killed the supreme council. Premier
Poincare inferred the corpse with his
Bar lie Due speech. What will fol-
low the dissolution
The general advocacy by the Paris
press of a continental alliance di-
rected against England creates an ex-
traordinary situation. On the one
one hand is Poincare dismissing the
supreme council on the ground that ii
is inimical to Frances interests be-
cause it refuses to enforce impossible
reparations. On the other is the sug-
gestion that all of continental Europe
shall act as a unit in opposing British
efforts to revive her trade.
1t is generally to be supposed that
after her recent experiences Germany
would be reconciled to France simply
to make trouble for England, being
against England is mid summer mad
ness" 1t could only end in leaving
Fracce, with her great military ma
chine, confronted with the hostility of
all the great nations, England, Ger
many, Italy and Russia. Even the
supremacy of the French army. sup
ported by Africans, would not be
adequate to meet such situation.
Any attempt to marshal the CONT
ment would find it not against Eng
land, but against France. The
threat. 1t is simply regarded as a
diplomatic move to force Britain's s
hand. We await the sequel to Poin-
cares threat that France will act
alone in taking control of German
mines and forests. The general opin-
ion is that he will not carry the threat
into execution in the teeth of civilized
opinion.
The probable aim is to get England
to cancel her French debts as the
price for the French refraining from
seizing the Ruhr. 1t would pay Eng
land 10 cancel this debt if that is the
only way to re-establish the stability
of Europe and to get France to dis
arm, thus eventually securing conces-
sions from the United States. But
the whole return would be necessary
for the price.
No event has shocked England so
much as the Staying of Collins. 1t is
strange irony of strange times that
this should be so, now when only two
years ago England placed a price on
his head. His gallantry and good ma
ture has made him a popular hero,
fidence of the British government and
public. The events that followed his
appeal to De Valera after the death
of Griffith deepens the sense of
tragedy. The loss of Griffith and now
Collins is heavy blow to the Irish
Free State cause, at the very moment
its complete triumph was assured.
They have left no successors of the
same caliber but the feeling prevails
that the cause now is safe.
The rebel movement in Ireland now
has been reduced to the character of
murder gangs and this latest tragedy
will rob it of all sympathy from the
Irish public. Bernard Shaw's denunci-
alton of De Valera expresses the
sober sentiment of the Irish people
in regard to the desperate fanatics
who want TO die for Ireland when
their duty is to live for Ireland"
In view of the death of these lead
ers, the coming meeting of the dali
is awaited with some concern. The
feeling of England is profoundly

weekend cruise down the Potomac,
and that a definite announcement of
policy would follow the return of the
presidential yacht Mayflower Monday
morning. Those in the presidents con-
fidence said before he left here for
the cruise last night that, although he
still believed industrial peace would
be restored without government oper-
alton. he is inclined to feel that as a
precautionary measure he should be
given full authority to act before con-

Senator Cummins had indicated that

If the president definitely requested it,
but at the same time, they concede
that congressional approval would be

many members in both bodies are de-
manding that the government take
charge of the situation in most en-
phatic manner possible, there is
recognized element of strength ranged
against any movement that might ap-

WinsIow Would Pause
Particular attention was given In
congressional circles Sunday TO the
public statement made Saturday night
by Chairman Winslow of the house in

that in his opinion the coal fact find

more drastic legislation could safely
be withheld for the present.
The senate having laid aside the
Borah fact-findirg bill entirely until
the middle of the week because of pro-
longed attacks on it. the efforts to deal
with the strike problem at both ends
of the capitol Monday win be con-
fined to committee consideration of the
