DUBLIN, April Z Q.N.SO
With the reluctant approval of
his cabinet, President Eamonn
De Valera took steps today to
punish Irish farmers who have
refused to pay the land annuitieS
into the Irish treasury.
De Valera'S retention of the
land annuitieS from the British
treasury had an unlocked for
effect. Num- erouS landowners
promptly took advantage of the
presidents policy and withheld
their share of the annuities from
Ireland.
The annuitieS represent reim.
burSement to the British treasury
for funds expended for purchase
of land which was then turned
over to Irish farmers under an
agreement between Ireland and
Britain for development of Irish
agriculture.
Patrick J. Ruttledge, minister
for lands and fisheries, resorteC
to an indirect method of punish
ment for delinquent farmers. He
notified the various county coun-
ellis that their pro rata share of
the governments annual 2,000,-

been reduced by the amount of

REED DECLARES
WAR DEBT MUST
BE COLLECTED

CHICAGO, June 90. U.P)-Ex-
Senator James A. Reed, Missouris
favorite son presidential candidate,
made a counter attack today on
Democratic platform makers who
seek a war debt plank that would
leave the way open to possible con-
cessions by the United States.
Reed summoned William @. Nc
Adoo from the platform committee.
In a service corridor of the Con-
gress hotel with freight elevators
and trash cans constantly moving
past them, Reed told McAdoo he
expected the party to pledge itself
to policy of debt collection to
the last penny.
McAdoo's idea is that in the pres
ent condition of world economics IL
would be better to ease the Ian
guage somewhat to enable o posi-
bic Democratic administration after
March 4 some leeway IN dealing
with debts
Reed said after the conference
that he had explained his position
TO McAdoo but the latter refused 10
discuss the debt issue or his con-
ference with Reed.

Pacific De Mexico railroad seemed
determined to maintain the strike
they began Monday until their de-
mands are met.
Noon today saw the expiration
of the 48-hour period during which
Mexican law allows strikers and
employers to contest before it steps
in.
The central committee of the
railroad union wired local leaders
today from Mexico City requesting
their acquiescence to a plan to sub
nit the dispute to a board of ex-
perts to be named by the Mexican
governments board of arbitration
The proposition was accepted.
Alberto Figueroa, president of the
unions local chapter, admitted to-
day that the railroads complaint
that it has lost steadily probably
has merit, but he declared officials

fair. since ''it started with the
men at the bottom"
The railroad instituted 10 per
cent cut in salaries Monday, and
the workers walked out in every
shop between here and Guadala-

temporary dictatorship under the
Peoples party, which accomplished
the revolution, and for full fran
chise to the people after they are
better educated in self-government.

WEARY CONGRESS
UNDECIDED UPON
END OF SESSION

WASHINGTON, June 90. U.n)-
A weary congress is plodding
steadily toward adjournment. Sem
ate leaders, however, are resigned
to spending the Fourth of July in
Washington and the more pessi-
miStic think the session will last
until the middle of July.
The long disputed $150,000, 900
government economy bill was ready
for President Hoover's signature
today. By 35 to II, the senate last
night abandoned its efforts to ease
the sacrifices imposed upon
government employees. Senators
LaFollette, Wisconsin; Bingham,
Connecticut, and Reed, Pennsyl-
vania, Republicans, vainly pleaded
against what LaFollette termed a
"humiliating surrender" to the views
of the house.
The major savings will be ac-
complished by completing virtually
all federal employees earning $1,000
or more a year to take a months
furlough without pay For those
who cannot be spared, there will
be flat salary cut of 8.3 per cent.
Higher officials will take larger
reductions.
Other savings will be made by
suspending all promotions in the
government service, filling no va
cancies except by specific direction
of the President, suspending extra
pay for overtime work, reorganizing
bureaus and restricting military
transfers
The bill carries a sweeping au-
thorization for department heads
to dismiss as many employees as
necessary to keep within curtailed
budgets.
The senate also gave in to the
house on a provision which in
creases the effectiveness of the
economies but wrecks President
Hoover's plan for part time jobs

Announcement of the drastic re-
Guction was made here by Gov.

conference with state officials.
About $2,500,000 of the savings
will be used to provide work for
unemployed persons in the state,
the governor said. Funds will be
provided to give work to several
thousand persons, he said.
All state employees, including
the governor, will be asked to ac-
cept pay cuts, excepting workers

go on a five-day week so far as
salary is concerned, although I ex-
pect to work every day in the week

The remainder of the savings ap-
proximately $1,5OO,OOO, will be cut

CONVENTION HEADQUARTERS,
CHICAGO, June 20. U.P) - Will
Rogers, cowboy humorist, stole the
show from the politicians at the
Democratic national convention to-
day.
He was caught unexpectedly dur
ing an idle moment in the press
stand. He was even without his
customary chewing gum when the
crowd idling away an hour began
to yell for Rogers.
He was hustled from the press
stand onto the platform and was
introduced by Eddie Bowling, mus
ical comedy star.
II always thought the Democratic
convention was a joke and now 1
know it is" Rogers said.
Laughter rolled across the giant
stadium in one pealing blast.
"The man I'm about to nomi-
nate" Will began while the crowd
laughed again.
I'm not a delegate and have
no political affiliations, SO II I'm
rotten I don't owe you anything.
"All 1 have to do is to stand here
and act a fool until the Democratic
party can agree on prohibition" he
continued.
He said that would mean he'd
be here from now on.
CAS- soon as we can get the plat
form committee sober enough to
turn in a platform, we'll vote, "
Rogers remarked.
The crowd went wild. 1t was the
best show of the convention.
Rogers, speaking of the prayer
that had opened the convention,
said no one could think OF any
thing that would impress the Lord
sufficiently to help the Democrats.
It had breakfast this morning
with Jimmy Cox" he said. Does
your memory go back that far?"
Delegates, weary of stodgy politi-
cal speeches, were almost in hyster-
les as Rogers shot his humor
through the petty pretenses of the
politicians.

Naval Battle
Waged By Miners

POWHATTAN. O., June 90. U.P)
The first naval battle" in the
protracted mine trouble in eastern
Ohio was on record today and as
a result, United States marshalS
were reported enroute here to pre-
vent further encounters.
Coal miners embarked on the
Ohio river in an attempt to evade
a picket line of 500 strikers who
patrolled the mine area. In mid
stream they were met by the "un-
ion" fleet. A pitched battle was
staged while national guard observ-
ers and deputy sheriffs watched
from the Ohio shore, unable to in
terfere because the encounter was
on federal territory. Sticks, clubs
and oars were the battle weapons.
Casualties included two men who
were thrown overheard.
The war department was notified.
