The first summer institute conducted

been taking the six-week intensive
course in order to qualify for teach
ing positions in the junior high
schools
"The instructors in the institute are
united in their praise of the excel

the various classes" said Maurice j.
Lacey, headmaster of the West Rox-
bury High School of Boston, who gave
a course in English at the institute.
I'm the matter of attendance. appli-
cation to work and an eagerness to
profit to the limit by the courses ar
ranged by the board of education. the
teachers have shown wonderful
spirit and have obtained results that
augur well for the success of the
Junior high schools in Washington.
The institute itself, in the judg-
ment of the instructors, had one
great advantage over the summer
schools conducted at the various COL
leges. The work in all classes was
shaped to meet definite aim, to give
the teachers training for the Wash
ington Junior High School needs
rather than general work, such as
must necessarily be given in college
summer courses where the students
are from various localities. The work
done in the institute will do much
to unity the instruction offered in

DR.. SUN ESCAPES
REFUGE AT CANTON
Move to Shanghai May Be
Abandonment of Fight for
Restoration.

HONGKONG. China, August 10
Sun Yat-Sen, deposed president of the
southern republic at Canton, arrived
here this morning from Canton har-
hor aboard the British gunboat Moor-
hen. In the forenoon he boarded the
steamship Empress of Russia for
Shanghai
The HonSkong dispatch saying
Sun Vat Sen had arrived there ap-
parently indicates an abandonment,
temporarily at least, of the south

position as head of the Canton gov
ernment

Sun Yat-Sen had been in the harbor
flung since July II, despite the fact
that his enemy. Gen. Chen Chung
Ming. whose coup resulted in the
overthrow of Suns regime, had pos
session of the city. The Winfung
practically was bottled up in the
haroor, but supplies reached it in
some mysterious way and Sun re-
mained there
A statement this week from Chen
Chung Ming's headquarters indicated
tnat he intended to force the issue
with Sun, either blockading his ves-
sci or capturing him.
On Monday Hongkong dispatch
to the London Daily Telegraph re-
ported that Sun Yat-Sen was suffer-
ing from mental trouble which had
required the attendance of two for
elgn brain specialists.
Had Been Optimistic.
Since his overthrow. DIR. Sun has
given interviews cheerfully and ap-
peared optimistic of his return to
power. He apparently staked much
on the success of his military expedi-
ton in the north, which had at
tempted a drive on Canton.
Dispatches. however. have told of a
series of reverses by the troops loyal
to Sun. The Chen Chung Ming army
at last accounts had driven the Can
ton soldiers practically out of Kwang-
tung province. of which Canton is the
capital.
Sun has been opposing the effort
of Lii Hung of the Peking re-
public to unity all of China under
that government.

ATTACKED NEAR MINE.
Maintenance Men on Way to Re-

WILKES BARRE. Pa, August 10
A crowd, said to contain many strik-
ing mine workers, who sought to pre-
vent maintenance men from reporting
for work at the Truesdale colliery
of the Glen Alden Coal Company yes
terday, attacked an automobile car
rying Chief Deputy Sheriff Fred Rod
da and three other deputies, showered
rocks on the machine and slightly in
jured the occupants.
A squad of state police dispersed
the crowd. Anthony AdamSki, q
miner. was taken to the Nanticoke
Hospital suffering from cuts and
bruises. John Syowerski, a policeman,
was among those hurt.
The trouble grew out of permission
having been given by two local
unions at Hanover and Nanticoke for
men TO make repairs in the colliery.
This was objected to by some mem
bers of the locals and resulted in
new officers being installed and the
order being rescinded.

RAIL PENSION PRIVILEGES
NOT CHANGED BY STRIKE
Pennsylvania Management Will
Continue Policy of Giving
Time Credit.

Striking shopmen on the Pennsyl-
Vanla railroad system will lose their
seniority rating if they seek rein
viii not forfeit their accumulated
pension privileges. according to a
telegram received last night at the
Washington terminal from q. b
Harley of the systems headquarters
In Philadelphia.
This latter situation 'is so serious
mistake said the telegram. that
the PENNSYLVANIA system manage
ment believes it of the utmost i'm
portance TO have it corrected. On the
Pennsylvania railroad and on other
systems generally seniority rights
and pension privileges are entirely
separate and distinct matters"
Mr.. Harley explained that a mans
seniority is determined by the posi-
lion MS name occupies on a roster
kept for his particular craft al the
point or for the division where he is
employed If he leaves the service
and returns. his name goes to the
bottom of the roster as of the date
on which he is re-employed

Of employment.
Pensions, however, the MESA ge
continued, are based upon the total
years of service. regardless whether
they are continuous or not Under
the Pennsylvania railroads plan
every employe. regardless of grad e
or rank, must retire at the age of
seventy years. II incapacitated he
may be retired at sixty-fiye or over
II he has been in the service thirty
years.
He receives as a pension ! per cent
of his average monthly earnings dur
ing his last ten years of work multi
piled by his total number of years OF
service, Mr.. Harley said He may
enter or leave the service once or a
half dozen times during his career
and the method of computing the pen
sion will be the same in any case.
The Pennsylvania system manage
nents position on the seniority issue
does not in any way impair or lessen
the pension privileges of its former
employees who are now out of the
service. provided they seek reinstate-
ment and are accepted" Mr.. Harley
declared.

with respect to seniority there
still seems to be confusion in many
peoples mind as to exactly what the
President originally proposed. He
proposed simply that the employees
who struck be taken back with the
same seniority rights that they had
before they struck.
"This meant that strikers who for
merly had seniority over employees
i-who stayed at work would recover
, their seniority over these men, and
that they would be given seniority
over all new men who have been en-
would mean that practically every
new man the railways have employed
would have to be discharged. 1t
would mean that every enploye who
was low on the seniority list and
who stayed at work would be put
back in his former position on the
seniority list, where he would be laid
off in periods of business depression.
while men who struck would be given
regular employment.
Would Encourage Strikes.
THE tendency that this would have
in future both to encourage strikes
and to make it more difficult in case
of strikes for the railways to get me =
to stay at work or to enter their
services as new men is too obvious
to require mention.
THE great wrong which would be
done to men who have stayed at
work or gone to work during the
strike. and in helping to maintain
operation of the railroads have in
Cured great personal risk to them
selves and their families by sacri-
fioing seniority rights which they
have thus earned, has not been sutii-
GENTLY considered. Furthermore the
fact that the personal honor of rail-
way officials. high and low, is in
volved has received hardly any con-
sideration.

know what they will do.
Clearly, however, the proposal to
give men who stayed at work or
have gone to work during the strike
an opportunity to have their rights
determined by the board is a very
different thing from the proposition
that regardless of all the promises
that have been held out to them in
order to keep the railways running

aside without any hearing whatever.

BY the Associated Press
s CHICAGO. August 10.-An explana-
tion>by s. NJ. FELTON,, chairman of the
tions of the Association of Railway
Executives. of the railroad view OF
President Harding's proposals and the
position of leaders of the shopmen's s
strike, was made public today. Mr.
FELTON, said that large majority OF
the public has been misled regarding
the stand of union leaders and that
there is considerable confusion over
the Presidents proposal with respect
to the seniority question.
There cannot be any difference of
opinion Mr. FELTON, said. among
reasonable men regarding the de-
STABILITY of terminating this strike
at an early date, provided this can
be done in a way that would do apr
prexmate justice to those who are
directly concerned and that will not
make-railway strikes more likely in
future.
THE labor leaders, in their letter
to the President, did not agree to
accept the rulings of the Labor Board
in the future. Every word they said
upon this subject shows that. regard
less of the settlement of this strike,
they have reserved the right to strike
in future against any decision of the
board which they do not like.
Strike Still Possible.
'"There is only one way in which
employees can possibly refuse to rec
ognize the validity CT and carry out a
decision of the Labor Board. That is
by striking rather than accepting it.
Therefore this proposal of the Presi-
dent could not possibly have meant
anything with respect TO the future
conduct of the striking employees ex-
cept that they were to agree that in
the future they could not strike rath-
er than accept and carry out decisions
of the board.
The labor leaders concede it is the
duty of the employees to abide by the
decisions of the board only as long
as they continue to render service
that is. until they strike. = I" =
Since it is absolutely impossible
for the employees to violate decision
of the board except by striking, the
labor leaders necessarily reach the
astonishing conclusion that. while the
railways can violate decisions of the
board. it is impossible for the en-
ployes to do so. Since the labor
leaders expressly reserve for the EN-
ployeS the right to strike. il neces-
sarily follows that they rejected, in
the only way they possibly could re-
ject ii. the Presidents proposal that
the employees should agree to recog-
nize the validity of all decisions of
the Railroad Labor Board and to
