Borah Attacks
British Note

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-Great Bri-
tain's' suggestion for cancellation of war
debts drew sharp attack today from
Senator Borah of Idaho, Republican
member of the senate foreign relations
committee and leader of the senate "ir-
reconsilable wing" who issued state
ment declaring emphatically that any
debt remuneration would have to be pre-
ceded with European disarmament. Sem
ator Borah said the Balfour note to the
allied nations which has been construed
in some quarters as containing such
suggestion really was intended for the
United States.
The American people could never be
greatly interested in any proposition for
cancellation Of any part Of the debt to
the United States unless the proposition
is accompanied by definite and specific
plan supported by certain guarantees for
practical disarmament, both by land ana
sea" Senator Borah asserted. adding that
the disarmament program Of the Wash
ington conference had been halted and
crushed

GRANT RESTRAINING
ORDER TO ATLANTIC
COAST Line RAILWAY
Bill of Complaint States That
Employees of Road Have Been
Assaulted By Strikers.

After due consideration of a lengthy
bill of complaint presented by J. L. Dog
gett, Jr., of the law firm of Doggett,
Christie & Doggett, OF Jacksonville, who
arrived in Pensacola yesterday morning,
Judge William B. Sheppard yesterday aft
ernoon granted temporary restraining
order in favor of the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Company enjoining members of
the shop crafts unions from interfering
with the employees or property of the road
lassywi1ere within the northern district of
Florida.
The order made returnable August
Z, at which time the defendants are to
appear before the court here and show
cause, if they have any. why a prelimi-
nary injunction should not be granted.
Complaint of Assaults.
The bin of complaint states that at
several different points along the At
lantic Coast Line men who the out on
strike have ATTACKED, beaten and injured
the employees of the road and those seek
ing employment, and also that they have
boarded the trains of the complainant
and taken therefrom employees being
transported to their work and assaulted
them. All of which, the bill states, inter
portation machinery. 1t also states that
millions of dollars worth of farm produce
in the section which their trains operate
are endangered by such interference.
And the bill also states that striking
shopmen have sent communications
through the mails threatening their en-
ployes and those seeking employment.
Peaceful Persuasion.
In his order granting the temporary
restraint, Judge Sheppard covered prac-
tically every manner in which the defend
ants might Interfere with the operation
of the Atlantic Coast Lines trains, but
was not so strict on the question of pick
citing. He restrained them from prevent
ing or attempting to prevent by threats,
intimidation. force or violence, or sug-
gestion thereof, any person from entering
the employ OF the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Company in or about its shops
except as may be done by peaceful per-
suasion."
2,22o Miles Of Track.
The order was directed particularly
against the locals and members of the
shop crafts at River Junction and High
Springs, where most of the repair work of
the A C. l.. in this district is done. 1t
is also interesting to note that the road
has a larger number of miles of track
in Florida than in any other state in
which operates. Tho bill gives the num-
Der as 2,220.50 miles.
It is expected that attorneys will ap-
pear before Judge Sheppard next Monday
in answer to his order.

Senators Argue
On Tariff Bill
But Get Nowhere

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - Upsettin,
plans of Republican and Democratic lead
ers for final vote on the administra
tion tariff bill on August II, Senator Len
root, Republican, Wisconsin, gave motto,
today to the senate there would be NJ
unanimous consent agreement for fina
vote at least until all important commit
tee amendments to the measure had beer
discussed and acted upon.
Would Limit Debate.
The Wisconsin senator was anx.
ious to limit debate and proposed an ar.
rangement under which beginning today
discussion would have been confined ex-
clusively to the tariff with each senate,
limited to ten minutes talk on amend
ments on the bill after August IL. SEN
ator Lodge of Massachusetts,, Republi-
can leader, objected to this however, and
the effort to come to an understanding
in the open senate ended.
Subsequently, however. private negotia-
tions looking to at least curtailment OF
discussion were reopened and some Re-
publicans were of the opinion that these
might lead to results. Certain Democrat
ic senators, however, were represented
as objecting to limitation on debate until
after votes on the sections dealing with
duties on sugar and hides.
Goodina Has His Say.
The Democratic proposal for a final
vote on August 10 and the Republican
counter proposition for vote on August
II, led to long discussion during the
first morning hour the senate has had
since the tariff bill was taken up. In
the midst of the debate, Senator Gooding
of Idaho, chairman of the Republican,
agricultural tariff bloc, introduced his
resolution directing a special committee
of five senators to inquire into and report
to the senate on:
1.-THE. financial interests of senators in
the wool and sheep industries. {
~ Finances Again.
= THE financial interests of Mr.. Frank
A. Munsey in European industries which
compete with American industries; the
amount and percentage of his income de-
rived from advertisements placed in his
newspapers by the importing department
stores which have financed a campaign
of defamation against the pending tariff
bill and which will profit by the defeat of
the bill.
"The number of senators owning and
controlling or financially interested in
newspapers, the amount of revenue OBJ
tanned by these newspapers from import
ing department stores, which will bene-
fit financially by the defeat of the pending
bill" ....

SENATOR REED IS
NOMINATED AGAIN
He Leads Breckenridge Long BY Near.
Iy 1000 Votes-222 Precincts Still Out

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 3.-Every factor that
political experts base their opinions on
indicates tonight that Senator James A.
Reed has been nominated by the demo-
Gratis of Missouri to be their standard
bearer in November to succeed himself.
With 222 precincts missing out of the
3,84S in the state, Senator Reed was
leading Breckenridge Long of ST. Louis,
former third assistant secretary Of state
in the Wilson administration by 6,S79
votes. The vote in 1925 precincts stood;
Reed 1s9.321 Long 1S2,442
In order to overcome this plurality in
the remaining % precincts it would be
necessary for Mr.. Long to lead Senator
Reed by almost 81 votes in each precinct.
In the last 100 precincts reported from
the less densely populated parts of the
state, the total number Of voters to the
precinct has not equalled 81.

HEATED DEBATE in
HOUSE OF COMMONS
ON ALLIED DEBTS
England AvOws Her Intention
To Pay America But Boasts
Of Her Generous Attitude

LONDON. Aug. 3.-Today's debate in
the House of Common on inter -allied
debts and German reparations proved
disappointing. 1t had been expected the
debate would bring out further interest
ing facts respecting the recent note of
regarding Great Britain's future policy
Obligations.
Impartial Discussion
1t was apparent that Premier Lloyd
George, chancellor of the excheQuer
Horne, Herbert H. Asquith one of the
liberal leaders, and other speakers made
a studied effort to say nothing which
would eTnbarrass open and impartial dis
custom of the subject at next weeks inn
portant conference in London being the
allied leaders.
England Generous
During the five hours of debate there
was constant reiteration of Great Bri-
tain's intention to repay her debt to the
United States. but no pains we're spared
to make clearly apparent Great Britain S
sacrifices in the war, her generous post
armistice attitude and her staggering
burdens of taxation.
Sir Robert S. Horne. the chancellor Of
the Exchequer said Great Britain had
no intention of suggesting any altera-
tion of her financial obligations to the
United States, that the government
recognized to the full Great Britain's
obligations to pay the debt land we do
not mean in any shape or form to eyade
that obligation"
RaIfour Note Inopportune
Mr.. Asquith won mild appreciation
from one side of the house by declaring
the Balfour note impolitic and inoppor-
tune, but said he hoped subsequent
events would prove the contrary.
Laughter greeted his statement that the
United States knew Great Britain was
dealing in paper figures when she en-
phasized the enormous expense of Eu-
ropes obligations.
Mr. Lloyd George devoted the burden
of his speech to replying to Mr.. AsQuith,
whose remarks he characterized as un-
fortunate. Declaring there was an alb
sence of any concrete suggestion or
better formula than already had been
adopted for a solution of the debts and
questions, the premier call
ed attention to Mr.. AsQuith's desire for
a clean slate. He said that was exactly
what Lord Balfour's note had advocated.
Wants Clean Slate
But it is not a clean slate he added,
when you wipe off every debt due us
and when you engage more deeply upon
the slate the debt which is due by us to
other people. That isn't a clean slate. 1t
neither cleans it nor adorns it nor makes
it more useful for further use"
The premier concluded by saying that
he did not expect next weeks conference
to settle the situation which was fraught
with complications. He declared it was
q most difficult problem to get the people !
Of the world face facts and reolities, and
that the world must judge Germany s
to pay, not by lump sum but
by the wealth she would be able to trans
nit across her frontier.
