GREEN IS BARRED
FROM CIVIC BODY
New A. r. of L. Head Cannot
Succeed Gompers in Ma
tionaI Organization.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, December 2O-The
selection of William Green to be
president of the American Federation
of Labor ends definitely any chance
that the successor of Samuel Gompers
In the labor movement would be his
successor as first vice president of
the National Civic Federation The
place may go to a labor man at the
annual meetings early in 1925, but
Mr.. Green is not and will not be-
come eligible.
L have never been a member o:
the National Civic Federation" Mr..
Green said today, "and ] cannot be-
come one. The laws of the United
Mine Workers prohibit it's members
also holding membership in that
body. 1T was because of this, you
will recall, that the late John
Mitchell resigned from it,"
Gompers Active Member.
MIR. Gompers, who became vice
president of the National Civic Fed
Grafton when IT was formed by the
late Mark Hanna in 1900, had always
been prominent in its affairs and did
much to keep it before the public.
For this he was bitterly criticized by
the radical element in the federation,
which, however, was unable to induce
Ralph NJ. Easley, executive secre
tary of. the federation, said today
that it was perfectly understood that
Mr.. Green, being a miner, could not
succeed to Mr.. Gompers' place in the
Civic Federation.
THE filling of the vacancy as well
as that in the presidency caused by
the death of Mr.. Belmont will be
considered at the annual meeting"
said he. Meantime we will consult
with our labor members. Mr.
Gompers' death is a great loss to the
federation, just as it was TO the
American Federation of Labor"
Green Has Many Callers.
James Duncan, who remains senior
vice president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, has been carried
on the National Civic Federation's
roll for many years, but has taken no
part in its affairs. II haven't been
near 1t for many years" he said be-
fore leaving for his home in Quincy,
Mass
Mr.. Green spent hard day today
acknowledging a stream of congratu-
latory telegrmas and in conferences
with labor men. Among the latter
were delegations from Mexico and
Cuba Before leaving in the late
afternoon for his home in Coshocton,
Ohio. he said he would return to
Washington December 29 for such
matters as would have to be attended
to, but did not expect really to get
down to business much before Janu-
airy 10.
Il realize" said he, that / have
a big task in front of me. but every
body has been splendid, everybody is
willing to help me and L am sure
we will get along nicely"

FARM CONDITIONS
Shown IMPROVING
Status Better Than in Sew
eraI Years, War Finance
Body Reports.

| An encouraging picture Of condi.
tions in the agricultural reeions wa,
reported to Congress Yesterday in m.
annual summary of the wae Finance
| Corporation.
MOST OF the important farming
districts, the report said, ''are ir
| oetter shape than they have been fol
several years. Bank deposits have
| Increased. bank reserves are being re-
stored, business has greatly improved
and the farmers generally are max.
ing excellent progress in cleaning vi
| the burden Indebtedness under
which they have been laborIng ant
In strengthening their economic posi-.
| tions."
The price of range cattle, the re-
port said, has not followed the trend
| or prices of other agricultural com
modities and conditions in the breed
| ing end of the industry were de-
scribed as still unsatisfactory.
Approval Of SCI applications fol
! agricultural and live stock loans
totaling $12,240,000, was made by the
| corporation during the year ending
November 80.
Cut in Loans Favorable.
The amount, the report said is a
substantial reduction from the pre-
ceding year and evidence of the gen
eral Improvement in the agricultural
situation as well as in the condition
of country banks.
OF the amount approved $4,670,00C
represented advances authorized to
2O1 banking and finance institutions
and s7.570,000 to "a live stock loan
companies
Loans outstanding on the corpora
tion's books. as of November 80. to-
tailed $62,623 900, of which $16,975, 900
was for war loans and $45,648,000 for
agricultural and live stock loans. All
exports loans. made prior to the sus-
pension of business in May, 1920, as
well as those made after resumption
of operations in January, 1921, the
report added, have been liquidated.
The last six months, the report
said, have witnessed noteworthy
improvement in the agricultural sit
uation, which, in turn, has brought
about a substantial improvement in
the condition of many country banks.
This is particularly true of the
wheat growing States of the Middle
West and Central Northwest, where
the farmers have enjoyed an unusu-
ally good season"
Referring to the tobacco crop, the
report said that while the industry
has been handicapped to some ex-
tent by carry-overs from former
years, 1t has maintained a relatively
satisfactory position"
The sheep and wool industries, IL
was said, have been receiving good
prices for their products. and on the
whole swine growers have had a ia
vorable year.
After all outstanding loans of the
corporation have been iiquidated, the
report concluded, and after deducting
operating expenses and such losses
as may be sustained, the Government
will receive, in addition to the origi-
nal capital stock of $50O00o, 900. a
return approximating the cost to the
Treasury of the money used in the
operations of the corporation.

CITES FEDERAL WAR
LOSS ON RAILROADS
James C. Davis Gives This as
Example of Government
Ownership.

The financial loss sustained during
the operation of the railroads by the
Federal Government in wartime was
held up as an example of Government
ownership by James c. Davis, direc-
tor of railroad administration, in an
address before the Political Study
Club at the Franklin Square Hotel
yesterday.
He compared the railroad situation
prior to the formation of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission with the
present situation and declared that
the railroads are now the slaves of
the people, with fixed rates, character
of service determined and distribu-
ton of cars made by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The Esch-
Cummins law, he said, had provi-
sions for the owners and patrons of
the railroads as well.
Mrs Nanette B. Paul addressed the
organization on the work which is
being done by the Susan B. Anthony
Foundation in an endeavor to see
that the pioneer of the woman suf-
frage movement is remembered.
Mrs. Frank Odenheimer, president
of the Political Study Club, who pre-
sided during the meeting, gave a
brief address concerning parliament
tary law and its use in women's
meetings. Mrs. Clyde Atchison, chair
man of the program committee, in
troduced Mr.. Davis.

HOUSE OF DAVID APPEAL S
Wants Rehearing of Case by Su-
preme Court.

The involved litigation over the Is
raelite House of David, in Michigan,
was again brought to the attention
of the Supreme Court yesterday by d
motion filed by James Hamilton
Lewis. as counsel for the organiza-
tion, for a rehearing of the case.
The refusal of the Supreme Court
to review the case when it recently
was before 1t, was attacked in the
motion on the ground that the lower
Federal courts had no Jurisdiction to
invade the right of religious freedom
in the case. The Federal District
Court for Western Michigan ordered
the House of David to restore to John
w. Hansel and his wife Margaret of
Nashville, Tenn, property which they
mad contributed to the colony when
they became members.

exonerated yesterday when Judge
Schuldt dismissed the charge of collid-
ing against Waggaman that the police
man had later been forced to place
against him.
Testimony showed that the accident
which occurred on r street between
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets,
was caused by the slippery and poor
ly lighted streets and not due to any
cause of the driver. 1t was also
brought out that report of the acci-
dent had been made, but the police
man viewing the scene half an hour
later had decided it did not come un-
der the bearing Of the traffic law and
so did not make an arrest.
