Striking Rail
Shopmen Carry
Case to Harding
Jewell Sends Telegram Pro.
testing Presidents Proclama'
ton ON Mails and Outlining
Strikers Grievances.

Chicago; July 15.-(By A. P)-
The striking shopmen carried their
case to the White House today.
The move marks a new phase OF
the nationwide suspension, now in
its 14th day, and gave promise that
the next step toward a settlement
might be in the form Of action by the
president. Such action as was taken
by the chief executive in the coal
strike is suggested by the new move
of the shopcrafts leaders.
B. M. Jewell. head of the railway
employees department Of the Amerl-
can Federation of Labor, today sent
telegram to President Harding re-
plying to the presidents proclama-
ton on the strike situation and open.
ing a new phase of the grievances OF
striking railway shopmen. ,
The telegram, which was signed
also by the six International presl-
dents of the railway shopcrafts, de-.
clared tina, the strikers had walked
out because wages fixed by the Ia
Dor board were in violation OF the
provisions of the transportation act
and because of the violation of the
labor boards position by the rail-
roads.
No Interruption.
The strikers insisted that no inter-
ruption of commerce or interference
with the mail had been caused by
any unlawful act by the shopmen.
The telegram laid such interference
directly to the attempt of the railroad
to operate with incompetent work
men. President Jewell and his as
sociates reiterated their desire to CO.
operate in any effort to bring peace
but declared that up to the present
the rail executives had refused to
meet the representatives of the en-
ploves.
The text of telegram follows:
1T appears from your proclamation
of July II that incomplete informa-
ton has been furnished you concern
ing the present dispute between the
railroad operators and employees.
Impossible Burden"
Nlnety-two railroads have violat-
ed the transportation act or decisions
OF the railroad labor board in lO{
cases. These involved not only con-
tracing out work in shops, but also
wage decreases. interpretations of
rules and the right of employees to
elect their own representatives.
When the Pennsylvania railroad
tailed to comply with the boards
rulings, Federal Judge Page held
that the boards position on wages
and rules was only advisory. The rail-
roads have refused ever since passage
OF the transportation act to establish

The great silence into which Fred
BROWN, Benson chairman, has chosen
to withdraw will not save him from
the usual course of the law, County
Attorney Shotwell said yesterday.
He will! be arraigned for pre-
llminary hearing in county court
this morning. 1t is his own busi-
ness whether he wants to talk or not.
His trial cannot be held until fall
because we will have no juries until
then," said Mr.. Shotwell. II haven't
determined yet which charge we will
try him on, but probably it will be on
the kidnapping charge"
A penalty of death may be i'm
posed under the Nebraska law upon
person convicted of kidnapping.
Browns policy Of silence has Sue
ceeded an extreme talkativeness
which he exhibited when he was
being brought from Lincoln by Sher-
iff Clark. He talked "a blue streak

that he is an old-iashioncd man who
believes way the public affairs were
run ~ year ago can't be beat by any
newiangled notions.
Hits Newiangled Methods.
Take the civil administration code.
This is a plan rather resembling the
cabinet system OF the federal govern
ment. 1t is designed to give the gov
ernor more power Nid responsibility.
He appoints heads OF departments to
handle routine matters. Mr.. Byrum
insists that such elective Offices as
the secretary OF state, the commits
sioner OF public lands and the state
auditor should fill these positions. The
modern tendency is to shorten the
ballot by eliminating these minor
elective Offices. Mr.. Byrum would
have the people name men to do all
the departmental administration.
Linked with this is the matter OF
the state budget. As it is now. the
governor receives All estimate OF the
amounts needed by each branch OF
the states activities, revises it ac-
cording to his own judgment, and
sends it to the legislature, which may
not increase the appropriations or add
any new ones except by three-hfths
vote. This was designed to stop
back scratching and log-rolling
among the representatives Of dis
tricts seeking state appropriations.
Mr.. Byrum would alter the budget
law, as he explains, ito keep down
expenses rather than increase them"
He would have this drawn by the
legislature. He refers to this as, "A
budget that will tell the cxpending
agencies OF the state how much
money they can have in the conduct
of their business, rather than a
budget telling the taxpayers how
much money the expending agencies
estimate they can get away with dur
ing the biennium. as I'VE now have"
This alone will save millions of dol
lars every two years, he declares.
A good deal of Mr.. Byrum's sup
port will come now, as it always
has, from the farmers. His home
town of Bloomington. in Franklin
county, lies in the purely agricul-
tural section southwest of Omaha.
He has fought in the Legislature to
keep appropriations down, and has
represented the agricultural point Of
view.
During the special session he op-
posed the gasoline tax. He advo-
Gated strict regulation of moving
pictures. He supported the Reed
Norval language law. In the changes
that he proposes in the state govern
'ment he declares none of the states
institutions would be crippled nor
any legitimate industry hampered.

Harvey Predicts
Speedy Recovery
Of English g Pound
American Ambassador Cites
Trade Statistics to Show
Strong Financial Posi-&
u a~ D..
ton of Great Britain.

London, July 13.-(By A. P.)-
Speedy recovery of the pound ster-
ling to parity with the dollar was pre-
dicted by Ambassador Harvey in an
address before the Pilgrims society
at banquet given in honor of Sir
Auckland Geddes, British ambassa-
dor to the United States. Ambassa-
dor Harvey cited unemployment fig
ures and trades statistics to show
Great Britain's strong financial and
commercial position.
Col. Harvey remarked that the re-
duction of 9 per cent in the number
of British unemployed since January
was amazing, when compared with
the depression which followed the
, Napoleonic wars. He declared it
was an exhilarating and conclusive
proof of sound and unimpaired eco
nomic conditions and of the impreg-
inability of commercial England.
Trade Revival Under Way.
The American ambassador then
commented on the fact that this re-
vival of trade and industry was oc-
curing despite a tremendous de-
crease in the volume of British ex-
ports. He believed this could mean
but one thing, namely: That En-
gland, like the United States, if dire
necessity requires, can 60 alone, not
luxuriously, as in the golden past,
but yet comfortably and in safety and
security while time affords an oppor-
tunity to explore and unfold the vast
possibilities of the faithful dominions
and the 100000 square miles of land
in the possessions recently brought
under the British flag.
In a speech remarkable for its frank
ness and evdent SINCERITY, Sir Auck-
land told the guests that England
did not wholly understand America.
1t was vital tliat more of the people
OF England should visit the United
States in order to become acquainted
with the remarkable characteristics
OF the people and the extraordinary
industrial, engineering, civic and edu-
cational progress OF the country.
Praises Newspapers.
1T is a common practice in Eng
land to speak lightly of American
newspapers, he said, but l want
to tell, you that they are rendering
an astonishing public service to the
people; they are printing much more
enlightening news from Europe than
our papers publish from the United
States"
The women of the United States,
Sir Auckland proceeded, were now
playing a tremendous part in the
life and government of the country
because of their voting power. He
concluded by saying that the rela-
tions between the two countries were
now franker and more friendly than
ever in history, declaring:
Those bonds of amity and coop
Grafton are the most important fac
tor within the whole range and
gamut of human progress"

recent decision of the United States

Lenroot Leads Battle

Washington. July l3.-(By A. P)
The first real split in republican
senate ranks over the administration
tariff bill came during consideration
OF the cotton schedule with a result
that 10 committee amendments pro-
posing increased rates OH various
kinds OF yarn were rejected one after
another as fast as they were reached.
The majority opposition was led by
Senator Lenroot OF Wisconsin and
reached its maximum strength on
the first roll call, II republicans op-
posing the committee rate on a roll
call by which the amendment was re-
jected. 81 to "a.
The IL republicans were Borah,
Cappcr, Cummins. Jones of Washing
ton, Lenroot. Mccormick. Nelson,
New. Norbeck, Sterling, Townsend
and Wills. The lowest republican vote
against any amendment was nine,
with the average running to 10. With
a single exception on each roll call,
the democrats voted -solidly against
the proposed increases.
Further Cuts Predicted.
With the basic duties on yarns re-
duced, it was predicted that cuts in
the rates on at least the lower grade
cotton cloth Of even greater proper
tions than recommended Wednesday
by the finance committee majority
would be made as the senate proceeds
with the schedule. That probably
will be some time next week, as the
schedule is to be laid aside Friday
in favor OF the dye embargo provi-
sion of the bill A vigorous fight
over it is forecast, with Senator
Moses of New Hampshire leading
the republican opponents and Senator
King of Utah making the principal
argument for the democrats in oppo-
sition.
Several members of the repub-
lican-agricultural-tariff bloc joined in
the opposition to the committee in
creases in the cotton rate, but a ma
jority of the bloc voted to sustain
the committee.
Lenroot Opposes Increases.
Senator Lenroot argued against in
crease in rates on yarns and cloth
not coming into competition with
American produced yarns and cloth.
. He declared that on the cheaper
grades the. United States was ship
ping to all the world. He contended
also that the compensatory duties
on fine yarns made from long staple
cotton were too high, considering
that the duty on the long staple cot
ton itself was only seven cents
pound.
Senator Smoot of Utah, on behalf
of the committee majority. supported
the increases, declaring them to be
necessary to protect the industry,
particularly that in the east which,
he explained, was producing high
grade cotton cloth almost exclusively,
the cheaper grades being turned out
in southern mills. He called attention
that high-gradc cloth came in from
England in large quantities.
Attacks on the rates were made
from the democratic side by Senators
Simmons of North Carolina. leader
in the tariff fight; Underwood of
Alabama, the minority floor leader,
and Smith Of South Carolina.

The administration Of the forests un-
der the policy developed by the de-

cludes provisions for the following:
Protection from fire.
Regulation of cutting, tree planting
and forest management to secure the
MAXIMUM growth of timber.
Full utilization Of forage resources
for livestock raising.
Classification of the forest lands
and the elimination of areas most suit

The use of the lands for a wide

The fullest possible development Of

The readiustment Of boundaries to
include forest lands and to exclude
other lands.
In the administration of this policy,

policy also contemplates, In the Ian
guage of the secretary:
"The extension of the national for
ests through the purchase of lands
which will protect the watersheds of
navigable streams. The national for
ests established by executive order or
by legislative now cover the headwa-
ters of nearly all the important
streams beyond the Mississippi and
protect enormous investments in irri-
cation work, irrigable farms, and
hydro-electric development. They are
now slowly being extended by pur-
chases over the watersheds of nav
igable streams in the Eastern states
and should be extended still further
as rapidly as possible"
He also says that information on
the need for timber growing and the
best methods for growing and utiliz-
ing timber have been widely dissent
mated.
