Goldenrod, once believed to be the

WAR, DEAD
NORTHUMBER-

ALNWICK, NORTHUMBER-
LAND, England, Sept. 7 GN.SO.
Viscount Grey of Fallodon, Brit
ish foreign minister under two
kings, and the man who sent
England to war against Germany
In 1914, died at his home today.
He was II. Death followed a
lingering illness which became
acute week ago Saturday when
intensified by an abdominal com
plant. He had been in a coma
much of the past week, unable
to recognize relatives called to
his bedside.
Was Envoy to U. S.
Lord Grey, one of the eminent
statesmen of his day and de-
scribed as the last of a line Of
Victorian leaders, was temporary
ambassador to the United States
in 1919. an office which marked
the virtual end of his public life.
Born in 1862, his childhood was
a stage of British tradition and
absorption of it's creeds and teach
1ngs. 1t wrapped him in the old
auStere atmosphere that vanished
in the smoke of war so far as the
average Britisher is concerned.
Grey stepped himself in it behind
the old walls of Winchester Col
lege, and polished off his intellec-
tual inclinations at oxford Uni
Versity.
Elevated to Lords
In 1885 he was elected to Parlia-
ment for the constituency of Ber-
wick Tweed, to retain that seat
until he was elevated to the House
Of Lords in 1916.
The Gladstone ministry of 1892
lifted Grey into the national ranks
as under secretary for foreign af-
fairs, his chief being Lord Rose
berry.
His real chance came in 1906,
when the Campbell-Bannerman
liberal ministry assumed office.
Grey became foreign minister, to
retain that post until 1916.

In Code Drawn
By Hotels
BY International News Service


The tipping custom will be
renognized by law under the
proposal of the American Hotel
Association for a code of fair
competition.
The proposed code, which
would affect 100000 workers,
regards tips as a part of the
wages of bellmen, porters,
walters, and barber shop and
beauty shop employees. Hotel
proprietors agreed to raise the
wages of these workers to the
1929 level, and allow them to
keep their tips.
Association officials estimat-
ed 10000 to 100000 jobs would
be created by the code. Maxi
mum hours of 48 a week for
female, and 54 for male en-
ployes are proposed, with watch
men, night clerks, night audi
tors, and executives excepted.
The minimum pay scale
would range from % cents an
hour in villages under $500
to % cents in cities over 500,-

Long-Range Welfare Plan
To Dominate Convention

The violent attacks leveled OF
late against the whole merit
system, notably the legislation
providing for stating the emer-
gency units outside the Civil
Service and the recent battle in
Congress over apportionment,
have aroused Federal workers
everywhere to the danger that
confrontS them.
Pay Cuts Work Out
Present indications are that the
pay-cut situation will work itself
out in due course, and that sub
stantial relief may appear as early
as January /. However, many
local unions have vigorously urged
prompt elimination of the pay
cuts at the earliest possible date.
The number of resolutions pre-
sented will be by far the largest
ever introduced at a national con-
vention of the N. F. F. E. That
is a normal and expected result
of the many problems that have
been placed before members dur
ing the past year, and their feel
ing that their views on these
problems should be clearly ex-
pressed.

Brock, at that time attached to

johnson leased premises owned
by Christian Heurich, jr., treas

down Johnson'S application in
April on a provision of the local
beer laws prohibiting manufac-
turers or wholesalers to have a
direct or indirect interest in the
business of the person to whom
the permit is granted.
The case was battled out by At

the Commissioners. Sherier con
tended that Heurich's interest
merely went to the real estate and
in no way affected the business

argument and signed a writ OF
