when members will vote their attitude
toward proposals of the big five
brotherhoods for ending the shop
crafts strike. the Eastern President 3

members to promote at the national
session.
What action the eastern group.
which includes several of the most
powerful lines, finally will pursue was

pledged to secrecy. The only COM
ment was made by L. F. Loree. presi-

sued a statement setting forth that
Atlantic coast roads which normally
employ 161 1889 shopmen he'd brought
their forces up to 71.5 per cent of that
figure on August Is.
Show Increase in Shop
This represented an increase Of 2.5
per cent over the week ending August
II, the statement indicated.
ut was expected that the ratio Of
increase Of August IL would be con-
tinued on the 18th, but the occurrences
OF last week put damper on recruit
Ing said Mr. Loree. Nothing can
be more destructive than to introduce
feeling of uncertainty into q situa-
ton such as this"
Roads represented at the conference
were those which led the opposition
when the national body Of rail chiefs
rejected President Harding's two pro-
posals for ending the strike by sub
road labor board. Mr.. Loree, saying
that he spoke for himself alone, later
made the following statement.
Loree Is Unchanged
"You can quote me as saying stand
where l have stood from the start
solidly against any surrender and it
is surrender on the part of the roads
to give back the strikers their semi
ority."
w. W. Atterbury vice president of
the Pennsylvania system, told news
paper men that the president of the

the eastern roads

Demand Less Politics
That the state highway commission
be taken out of politics was the feat
ure of the resolutions adopted by the
convention. The portion relating to
this reads: I'VE earnestly urge that
the state highway commission should
be a thoroughly business proposition
and that it should be kept entirely out
OF politics. We note with extreme dis
pleasure that politicians of all parties
Rave been accustomed to offer whole
sale criticism regarding road business
IN Montana, without the presentation
of specifications upon which this
criticism may properly rest, provided
that it has any virtue at all"
Horace NJ. Albright, superintendent
of Yellowstone park, who addressed
the delegates Monday morning, saying
that tourist business in Montana will
Increase 200 per cent in 1923 and 200
per cent additional in 1924.
That crisis exists in Montana's
situation was the opinion ex-
pressed by John n. Edy. chief engi-
ncer of the highway commission. He
said that users of roads in Montana
would provide means for continuing
the state highway building program.
He suggested a gasoline tax as a
method of raising funds for the build
Ing of state roads.

Family Dog and Cat
as Pets Seem Doomed
Among English People

London. Aug. 21.-The place long
held by the dog as a family pet and
street companion threatens to be usurp-
ed by the monkey and other. exotic
creatures. Women are seen carrying
marmosets, mongooses, foxes and par
rOtes.
People also are getting accutomed to
the woman with a young white fox on
a string, another with three cats, ana
chimpanzee that rides in motor car.
But the most startling innovation in
family pets was observed at a lawn
party. where q guest carried what ap-
peared to be a sunshade with highly
decorative handle. Closer inspection
revealed the handle" to be a beauti-
fully marked snake, perfectly motion
less and carelessly twined over it's
fair owners arm and around her sun
shade.

HOUSE GETS TARIFF
BACK FROM SENATE;
JOINT TALK NEXT
Sharp Arguments Likely When
Leaders of Two Bodies
Get Together.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The house
got the administration tariff bill back
from the senate Monday but did not
send it to conference.
This next step in the now long drawn
out journey of the measure must await
a reprinting Of the amended bill. which
is expected to be completed Tuesday or
Wednesday, The experts had hoped
to have it ready Monday. but they
found the senate had made so many
and complicated changes in the origi-
nal house bill that their task. proved
far more difficult than they had antici-
pated.
When the reprint is ready, republi-
can house leaders plan to send the
measure to conference under special
rule which may permit of little or no
discussion on the floor. At the same
time the house conferees will be named
and they will have their first session
with the senate managers. probably on
Thursday, as Chairman McCumber Of
the senate committee expects to be
occupied in the senate Wednesday with
the soldier bonus bill.
In anticipation of acting on the tar
iff. the house had a quorum Monday,
for the first time since it reassembled
laSL week. 4uc duuVuuSCAACht VA thS
senate clerk that the measure had been
passed by the senate and conference
was required was greeted with mingled
applause and laughter. As the meas
ure was not laid before the house. that
body went ahead with other work. but
the tariff formed the chief topic of the
private discussion on the floor and in
the cloak rooms.
Some senate rates. principally those
in the cutlery schedule, apparently are
opposed by a number Of house mem
bers, and these. along with American
valuation and the duties on dyes. are
expected to furnish subjects of sharp
in the conference. Some
leaders Of the republican agriculture
bloc in the house expressed approval of
the agricultural, sugar and wool rates
as fixed by the senate.

Cheadle, Monday night mailed to Well

ing letter:
Message to Rankin
According to press reports you sent
a letter to Congressman Riddick in
viting a debate. No such letter has
been received either by this club or
Mr.. Riddick. A'special delivery letter,
supposedly from you. was forwarded
by the local postoffice to Butte, but
uD to date has not reached Mr.. Rid
dick. Presumably this is the letter re-
ferred to in press dispatches. Con.
gresham Riddick has no controversy
and has nothing to debate with any
republican. His lifelong record for
active political work within the re-
publican party, his 100 per cent re-
publican record and his constant sup
port of President Harding while q
member of congress. the national re-
cognition of his repubhcanism and abil-
ity by his selection to the official posi-
ton OF director of public information
OF the republican national committee
and as chairman of the publicity COM
mittee of the national republican con-
gressional committee, all establish be-
yond any dispute and exclude any
basis for debate as to his clean cut
republicanism.
Name Indiana Gentlemen
Mr. Riddick's record for republi-
canism. and as an efficient worker bear
republican endorsement Of such well
known republicans as National Chair
man John T. Adams, viii H. Haya
Frank Mondell !. Albert J. Beveridge,
Geo. b. Lockwood, editor of the Off
cal organ Of the republican party,
and thousands of republicans Of his
own state. This record has been critic
lied and complained of BY socialists
and other non-republicans, as is but
natural. 1t is only to be expected that
in the future, as in the past, his 70.
cord will challenge criticism and pro-
woke fault finding and misrepresenta-
tion by those who are not in sympathy
with republican party principles.
Say Both Well Known
"As Mr.. Riddick is known, 70 is
your, public record well known to the
people of Montana. No debate and
40 last moment declarations can alter
The record that each has made.
The public Of Montana is interested
IN public service and ability to get
results, not in debate. That may be
the secret Of the assurances of success
for Mr.. Riddicks condidacy that reach
The Riddick club in increasing mea-
sure from every part of the state AZ

the other defendants was ordered to
be paSe through the insertion of ad-
vertisements in papers in England and
Ireland. Most of the funds involved
are said to be deposited with the Guar
anty Trust company and the Harrison
National bank
The main contention for an injunc-
ton reads that Ireland now is ma
ton; that De Valera is against the
present government and is a fugitive
and that he is not entitled to the
money.
Would Aid Revolution
If De Valera or his forces were
granted the present funds in American
banks, the Free State representatives
contend. it would be devoted to the
carrying on Of further revolution
against the present government and
prolonging Of needless and unjustifi-
able civil war in country which has
expressed by the ballot its preference
for the Irish Free State form of gov
ernment.
It is further stated in the applica-
tion that the Irish Free State is pre-
pared to make good the bonds of that
nation and that the quickest way to
end the present revolt is to deprive
De Valera and his aides of funds from
this country
All checks on these funds were de-
posted in the local banks in De Vale
