SUBWAY STRIKE
NEAR As CHIEFS
TALK OF ACTION
Consult Last Years
Strike Leaders

Possibilities of subway strike on
the LR.T. increased yesterday when
the officials of the Amalgamated AS
sociation of Street Car and Electric
Railway Employees went into confer
ence with the leaders of last years
Interboro strike.
This fact coupled with the growing
dissatisfaction of the rank and file
workers is especially significant. J.
FL. Coleman, organizer for the asso-
citation said that he had received many
letters from the workers in which
they denounced the arbitrary methods
used by the l. R. T. in securing sig
natures to the yellow dog company
union contract.
In answer to the question of the
possibility of strike in the immedi-
ate future, Coleman said, "We will
not promise to prevent strike in
the event of any overt action against
any of our members" Patrick j.
Shea, vice president of the Amalga-
mated agreed with Coleman by add
ing, IF strike comes it will come
suddenly"
According to Senator Robert F.
Wagner and former Congressman Ma
than D. Perlman, legal representa-
tives for the amalgamated, the union
will test the legality of the so-called
agreement which the I. R. T. forced
upon the subway workers, by making
a test case of it some time next week.
The court action will be based upon
the plea that the I. r. T. contract
was forced upon the employees under
duress.

John F. Hylan would break into the

rogatory to the commissions pro-

Government of Mexico
Releases Dupes of the
Priestly Riot Leaders

MEXICO CITY, July 15.-All
Catholic lay leaders of the clerical
rebellion against the Mexican gov
ernment have been ordered released
by President Gales. In the an
nouncement of the amnesty, the
president states that the rebellion
is completely crushed, and the i'm
prisoned men no longer dangerous.
Furthermore, investigation has
proved, says Gales, that they are
largely tools of the Catholic hier-
archy, acting out of fear of the
priests, and therefore to be more
pitied than punished.

A Bid for Harmony.

The Democrats are engaged in a
laudable attempt to put salt on the
tail Of that elusive bird. harmony.
Meeting recently in conference, Sen.
ators of the Democratic faith who will
sit in the Seventieth Congress de-
cided informally that the wet and dry
issue should be tabooed as a national
party issue. 1t is a State matter,
they said. IL they have their way
wet and dry Democrats will lie down
together in the same fold: will cease
to revile each other because of their
attitude toward prohibition.
1T is a pleasant. a hopeful thought.
Democrats are to be Democrats first,
and prohibitionists and anti-prohibi-
tionists second. For the sake Of party
unity the idea should be developed.
No attempt was made to disguise
the fact that there are Democrats in
New York who believe prohibition is
a delusion and a snare, or that there
are Democrats in Alabama who hold
that the sun rises and sets with pro.
hibition. But what the Democrats of
the Senate are aiming at is an out
lawry of the prohibition war within
the party. They fear that 1t will be
injected into the next Democratic ma.
tional convention with disastrous re.
suits.
The truth Of the matter is that the

letter written by Mr.. Bloom that the
commission cannot function without
funds, and that lacking Government
control radio broadcasting must again
lapse into the chaos which has pre-.
vailed since last July.
In the meantime. lacking the neces-
sary funds to operate, the commission
will probably avail itself of the invita-
ton extended by Secretary Hoover to
use office space in the Department of
Commerce Building and make use of
the clerical help of that department.
The appropriation for the operation
of the Radio Commission, with provi-
sion for the $4,000 annual salary of
the five members, was lost when the
second deficiency bill failed of passage
by Congress last week.
The New York member of Congress
declares he has consulted with legal
authorities and finds that as power

the Attorney General upheld the deci-
sion of a Chicago judge last July.
passed definitely from the Commerce
Department with enactment of the
act transferring control to the new
commission, and as that body cannot
function without funds, there is now
no Federal control of the air or of
broadcasting. The commission, how
ever, feels otherwise. Apparently it's
members are willing to proceed to
their work without funds anticipating
the day when a deficiency appropria-
ton will bring them their salaries
and pay for commission operation.
Mr.. Bloom holds that unless the
President summons the Seventieth
Congress to assemble in extra session
before April "a, there will be no
broadcasting control and the situation
will be worse than before. since issu-
ance of licenses automatically stopped
on the day of the signing of the con.
troll law. The case has little prece.
dent, even though the members of the
commission appear to feel that they
must go to work, although lacking
funds. Some years ago Congress vir-
tually legislated the United States
Commerce Court out of existence by
failure to appropriate for it's continu-
ance, later passing law repeating the
court. But this case had neither the
pressing need of action the present
radio situation bears nor did the
court care to function without funds.
In the absence of a decision by the
legal branch of the Government that
the Radio Commission cannot function
without money, radio control, it ap-
pears, will become fact within few
days.

has advised Secretary Hoover that
the new Radio Commission cannot
organize and function without funds,

The problem of the Democrats Is to

would be pleased to win the next ma
tional election. They have been out

Harding in 1921. Their only. hope lies
in uniting the party behind an out
standing leader.
Certain Democratic leaders believe
they can go farther with a wet candi.
date toward victory than they can
with dry. They sense an unrest in
the country over prohibition. Just
how deep-seated the opposition has
become they are uncertain. But they
feel that it would be worth while to
nominate a liberal who might attract
Republican liberals. They saw the
victory, for example, of Senator David
I. Walsh, a, wet Democrat, in Massa-
chusetts, against former Senator Will
liam NJ. Butler, reputed a dry and a
friend of President Coolidge. They
saw Senator Robert F. Wagner, a

Gratis will forget their dryness suf-
flciently to vote for liberal candi-
date. They realize it is lottery But
they also fear that the nomination of
a dry Democrat against dry Repub-
lican will get the party nowhere. 1t
seems assured now the Republican
nominee will be dry. Only through
the process of wet Democrats becom-
ing dryer or dry Democrats becom-

solve the party's problem.

The Third Reversal.

For the third successive time the
Court of Appeals has reversed a
ruling of one of the four judges of
the Traffic Court, whose decisions in
several Atraffic cases have had the
effect of paralyzing enforcement of
various important regulations. The
higher court in it's latest reversal
overruled a decision which dismissed
charges of driving at a greater rate of
speed than fifteen miles an hour over
Klingle Bridge and held that the
traffic director did not have authority
to set any speed limit below twenty
two miles an hour.
The Court of Appeals has the fol-
lowing to say in this connection:
1t cannot be maintained that the
regulation is not reasonable. Fast
driving on these bridges not only
would endanger human life, but tend
to damage the bridges themselves.
This seems SO obvious as to require
no further demonstration.
In another paragraph of the ruling
the court says:
Any other conclusion would do
violence to the obvious intent of the
traffic act. The act should be con-
sidered as a whole and If possible
given an Interpretation that will har-
monize and accord full force and
effect to all of its provisions.
These three reversals of one of the
four judges in the, lower court illus
trate strikingly the necessity for a
change in the working methods Of
the Traffic Court. In this particular
case, and as a matter of fact in all
of the appealed decisions of this
Judge, convictions were obtained reg.
ularIy before the other three judges
on identical charges up to the time
that the one Judge arbitrarily threw
them out. Thus was presented the
picture of traffic justice being dealt
out with uniformity by three judges
of the court while the fourth, when a
case of similar nature came before
him, refused to entertain charges.
1t is obvious that it should not be
possible for one judge to dictate to
the entire court. If q regulation is
illegal, ruling based on the opinion
of the four judges should be handed
down. After three separate and dis
tinct reversals of the judge who, by
his decisions, has impeded traffic en-
forcement and uniform court pro-
cedure, it appears that the time has

Clocks, like great many other ar
tlcles, have had the accent placed on
| the wrong point. The very name
shows 1t.
When we speak the word "clock''
we are simply using the Anglicized
form of the French "cloche," mean
ing bell. The German 'glocke" and
the Dutch "klok" mean the same.
The striking mechanism, the sound
ing forth of the hour, has usurped the
honor which more properly belongs to
the mechanism itself. Strictly speak.
ing, clocks which do not strike are
not really clocks" Tor bells), but
simply timepieces.
The old family clock holds a place
of eminence on hundreds of thousands
of mantels throughout America. In
farm homes and in small country
towns the old fashioned black clocks.
with ornamental pillars at each end,
hold first place.
During recent years the mahogany
clock of sweeping lines, generally
called tambour-shaped, after the curve
of the arch. or round. like d drum, has
come into popularity.
The costly grandfather clock. with
it's chimes. and the clever cuckoo
clock, dear to children, hold their an
cient place in the affections of the
people.
Then come countless forms of
smaller home clocks and the omni.
present alarm clock, which so many
find necessary to their prompt ar.
rival at work each morning.

of describing in words the sound

We are so used to using Tick,

cult to believe this, especially in the
actual presence of a ticker. large or
small.
Surely 1t says Tick, tock!" One
could swear that there is an actual
difference in the sound. Yet little
investigation will convince one that
he is wrong.
Try to place the "tock" on the
tick" and you will see that the
tick" can begin as readily on what
was before the "tock."
Is 1t not strange, in this regard
that. no matter when one suddenly
begins to listen to the clock tick. he
always begins with tick and never
with "tock"?
To convince yourself that clocks
only say tick" and not "tock," it is
only necessary to transpose suddenly
the words one uses, and put the

This may sound rather silly. hut

Lipton's Newest Plan
May Win Yachting Cup

From the Dallas Journal
The old and outgrown suggestion
that "if smoking interferes with bust.
ness, quit business" Is somehow
called to mind by the report from
London that Sir Thomas Upton Is
planning to retire from business for
the purpose of devoting himself seri-
ously to a fifth attempt to win the
Americas cup.
During the last quarter of a cen.
tury, with pesky business affairs al
ways in his way, Sir Thomas has
staged his several gallant but futile
efforts to win the coveted yachting
trophy. 1t Is now made evident that
he won't be happy till he gets it..
When he kicks the clogs of CONNER
cial affairs off his feet, his American
rivals will need to look to their pen
nants.
1t may be true that the increasing
popularity of Sir Thomas has been
matched by the increasing popularity
Of tea. But the great merchant didn't
go yachting for any such sordid pur-
pose. Even while business held him
he proved himself to be real sports
man when the opportunity offered.
And now that he Is to make sport

ness the boys over here may prepare
