Washington, March 9-Pretsst against possible strike of mine workers and railroad employees is voiced In letter to be read this week to every county and local subordinate branch of the National Grange, in a movement initiated by S. J.. Lowell, Of Fredonia, N. Y., Master of the Ma t1onal Grange to focus public opinion on the situation.
 Eight thousand granges to which asked to ascertain the opinion of their members and to make public the find ings as we'll as any action taken by them.
 T want you to voice your protest" 7" he wrote, against any owners or management of railroads or owners of coal mines$ or workers in either, creating condition which will stop terrible scourage of war. We are do- ing our part and we demand that both capital and labor do theirs. Whatever differences may exist be- stopping the wheels of commerce." Copies of the letter were sent also to members of theg United States Sen ate, MT. Lowell said, and replies en- from many of them, including Sena- tors McNary, or Oregon; Reyes, of New Hampshire: Fernald, Of Maine: Page, of Vermont; Moses, of New
 
 dexter. of Washington.
 The text of MT. Lowelrs letter to the Grange membership reads: The time has now arrived when it seems pertinent that the Grange should express itself in no uncertain terms in protest of a possible strike of mine workers and railroad employees. If coal strike takes place as seems possible in April the production l of this fuel, upon which the pros- | perfty and well-being of millions de- | pend, will cease. Although it is claimed that coal enough to last for month or more is now above ground, any stoppage of production obviously will result in high prices in the near future. If railroad workers strike, the transportation upon which the food of millions depend will stop. "A railroad strike, now, means farmers products remaining unsold and spelling in his barns. And that may mean famine, suffering and per haps death in the cities. It means farm supplies piled up in railroad

BETTING IS FOUND ESTABLISHED
 AS NEW INDOOR COLLEGE SPORT

New York, March 9-Some of 'em do and some of 'em don't, all em- phat1c declarations from California notwithstanding. There's no general rule.
 Such is the retort of co-eds of New York colleges to the charge of Editor R. l.. 1ngraham, of the California Pel- 1can, that "all college girls like to be kissed, and expect every man who takes them out to attempt it."
 Kissing isn't on the college curri- culum, said Miss Mftzie Kalish, New York University dramatic star. It's ridiculous to say that our idol is a cave man.
 Every girl like to be kissed by the man she loves. She wants it and eS- poets it."

asked Miss Nellie Washington, in
charge OF the postal station, to
change so cents into pennies and

bought . writing tablet, and while

pRo.TREATY VICTORY SEEN.
New Dali Expected to Have Ma
iority in Favor of Pact.

By the Associated Press.
DUBLIN. June 17.-Lacking def
mite announcement as to the outcome
of yesterdays elections for new
dail eireann. the results of which
are not expected to be known until
next Tuesday at the earliest, the
estimate is hazarded in some quar-
ters that the republicans will have
forty representatives. in the new dali.
that the group. which represents pro-
treaty sentiment In the OLD dali will
have sixty members, while the new
comcrs will number twenty-eight
II all the newcomers support the
treaty, the likelihood Of which has
been pointed out, 1t would give the
Free State forces working majority
on the treaty issue. The republicans.
however, do not expect the division
will follow these lines and prefer to
regard the new parliament as likely
to consist OF 100 old Sim Fein mem
bers against twenty-eight not at
tached to that party organization.
They say that the coalition cabinet.
therefore. is safe against attack on
Sim Fein wings. The coalition cabi-
met is expected to focus its attention
on administration and the Ulster
problem.
Attention - called mere today to
one point in the transftory provisions
Of the text Of the new constitution.
which hitherto has escaped comment,
but which 1t is believed must have an
influence on the future situation. Un.
der the treaty, the provisional gov
ernment was to terminate within
twelve months df signature Of the
treaty, and 1t was generally assumed
that the parliament which Is being
elected could not have more than a
six months lease OF life. In the con-
stitution text, however. It Is provided
that the government and parliament
can carry on for twelve months after
the constitution has been finally
passed, with this important differ
ence. that once the constitution Is
passed, all members Of the continuing
parliament must take the oath Of al
iegiance to the king.
Eamonn De Valera and his colleagues
would Join the parliament now being
elected. because, for the present. this
condition does not apply. but unless.
which is unlikely. they assent to the
oath their designations must come
once the constitution 10 passed.
Robert Barton, who was one OF the
sienatories Of the Anglo Irish treaty.
but afterward declared he had signed
under duress, and ranged himself
with Erskine childers in opposition
to the treaty, is expected to be un-
seated as q result Of the poll in Kill
dare and wicklow. e
