New York's Chinatown Squad Investigating Plot That
 Resulted in Murder

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Two Chinese were arrested late today, charged with murder in connection with the shooting of Ko Tow, head of the Hip Sing tong in Chinatown last night
 Meanwhile detectives of the China town squad, wise in the ways of the modern "Canton-on-the-'L'" still were slipping to and fro among the sages of Pell Street tonight in an effort to solve the plot which left Ko Tow, president of the Hip Sing tong bleeding from a gunshot wound in a hallway last night, to die a few hours later ]
 Two pretty young white women Mrs. Kitty Ravinatte, formerly a tel ephone girl at the Hotel Astor, and Mrs. Mae Malsbender, wife of a rAil- road employe living in Washington also were quizZed, and told their stories of dinner with Ko Tow and Charlie King, another Oriental, in the Chinese Delmonico just before they went down the narrow hallway at whose end barking pistols were waiting for the tong chieftain. Mrs. Malsbender is in Beekman hospital suffering from wounds in the foot, inflicted by the assassins.
 Both women declared they were outside the pale of those to whom the true story of the shooting is known. They had dinner with their friends, they said, came down the hallway, heard the shots and fled one wounded, up the dark stairway leading to Ko Lows apartment above the tong OuarterS where they were found by the police. Further than that, they professed to be mystified

Increase Is Compromise Be- tween Rate Asked by Pro-
 ducers and House Rate

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The sen ate approve today an increase of 3-10 of a cent pound on the tariff duty on sugar; rejected plan for govern ment bounty of $9,500,OOO for domes- tic potash producers, and rescinded it's former action in voting an impost of two cents pound on white arsenic. Potash and white arsenic were placed on the free list.
 The sugar rate of 23 cents per pound was a compromise between the 2.5 cents duty urged by Louisiaha cane and western beet sugar proda- cers, and the two cents proposed by the house and approved by the if nance committee majority. It is three tenths of a cent above the tariff in the existing emergency act and 1.05 cents above that in the Underwood act.

ASK OFFER REJECTED
May Ask Congress to Grant Resumption of Federal
 Railroad Control

WASHINGTON. Aug. S. (By the Associated Press) - President Hard ing has asked congressional leaders in view of the menacing industrial sit nation arising from coal and rail strikes. to hold the house. now in re- cess, continuously in session, along with the senate, after the house re- convenes next Tuesday.
 The prospect was that, failing early settlement of the labor controversies the administration might call for leg islative action to enable the govern ment to cope with conditions which thus far have failed to react favorable to efforts on the part of the execu- tive
 Meanwhile, the leaders of all union organizations in the transportation field began to gather in Washington for conferences to determine the re- sponse which shall be made to Presi- dent Harding's latest offer of a set tlement basis for the seven railroad unions now on strike and to deter mine as well, according to statements of those who will participate what joint or cooperative action the labor forces shall take in case, the presi- dents offer is rejected
 B. M. Jewell. chairman of the group of officers of the striking unions. de- clared that he had received hundreds of telegrams today from locals of the shopcrafts' telling us to reject the presidents offer and not a single one asking it's acceptance"
 Separate conferences between Southern railway officials and repre- sentatives of the striking shopmen on it's lines broke up finally today when the men declared that only a national settlement of the strike could be ac- cepted by them, even though the rail road conceded seniority rights to re- turning strikers. Fairfax Harrison. president of the road. later issued a general notice to all employees that the company considered it had more than fulfilled its obligations to it's striking employees" and that it's duty was now for unimpaired transporta- tion service.
 "This we will perform" Mir. HarTi- son declared.
 Suggestions were advanced that congress might be asked to authorize resumption of federal control over the railroad systems should President Harding find it impossible to termi- nate the strike satisfactorily with the further possibility that direct legisla- tion amending the transportation act might be sought to make the railroad labor board decisions in wage matters binding upon arrangements and em- ployes.
 There was also a proposal in some quarters that jurisdiction might be given the board by law over differ ences which arise during the strike, as did the present seniority issue.
 Cabinet members considered it like ly that the whole situation might be put up to congress in a special presi- dential message should prevailing diff faculties continue to multiply. while at the White House an administra- tion spokesman said the president would not anticipate his course.
