COUNTY RALLY
TO CLIMAX
CAMPAIGN

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE,
Va, July 23.-Climaxing one of
the bitterest political campaigns
known to Arlington county, can
didates for the county's four
major offices will be brought to-
gether here tonight in the larg.
est rally held in the entire cam.
paign.
In an auditorium that seats
more than 1000 persons, that of
the Westinghouse High School,
those seeking the Democratic
nomination for commonwealth
attorney, clerk of the circuit
court, sheriff and county treas
urer, will appeal to the voters.
Hot Session Expected
With the primary exactly two
weeks off. Tuesday, August 6,
and this: being the last opportu-
nifty for the candidates to ad-
dress a large gathering, political
observers here predict the "Hpt.
test" meeting of the campaign.
Under the auspices of the Ar
lington County Young Democratic
Club, the candidates will begin
at 7:45 and be given 20 minutes
each. Preceding the speeches by
candidates on the program, those
not scheduled to speak will be
introduced.
Those scheduled to address the
meeting are Lawrence w. Douglas,
incumbent; Emery Hosmer and
John. Paul Jones for common
wealth's attorney; Howard B.
Fields, incumbent, and H. j. Oden-
thai for sheriff; Charles T. Jesse,
incumbent. and Harry A. Fellows
for county treasurer, and Ralph
Remington, Lyman M. Kelley,
Chance Buchanan and c. B. Lay
cock for clerk of the circuit court.
Overflow Crowd Due
Members of the club sponsoring
the rally have arranged to have
the addresses carried by loud
speakers to those who may not
be able to get into the auditorium.
The fight between Howard
Fields and H. j. Odenthal for
sheriff promises to present the
most heated argument. Running
second to this will be that for
commemorative attorney.
An indication of what kind of
turnout may be expected at the
polls for the primary, the first
strictly county primary held in
Arlington county in more than 80
years, can be drawn from the
crowd that turns out here tonight,
old-time politicians say.

EASTMAN RAPS
PENSION PLAN

Transp o rtation Coordinator
Eastman yesterday threw a side
track switch on the Wagner
railroad pension bill, leading
Senator Wheeler CD OF Montana
to predict its probable death in
his Interstate Commerce Com
mittee.
In response to a query, East
man wrote Wheeler that the bill,
drafted to replace the 1884 rail
road retirement act, knocked
out by the Supreme Court, was
"ill-conceived" and contrary to
the principle laid down by Presi-
dent Roosevelt that pension plans
should be self-sustaining.
Against what he termed a
3,64O million dollar initial de
ficit" a rail pension fund would
confront under the Wagner bill,
Eastman balanced a 400 million
dollar benefit the Administra-
tons social security bill will
afford the 100 million rail
workers, beginning in 1912.
While the carriers and their
employees will contribute LOO
millions of payroll taxes to the
pension fund by that time, he
pointed out, the materially
greater average age of railroad
workers will yield them benefits
of $500 millions. Eastman
added:
"It is a fair presumption
that the social security bill
represents the limit to which
the country is prepared to go
at the present time in the direc-
ton of security for social
purposes.
"On social grounds, railroad
employees probably have no
more claim to. old age benefits
than workers in a steel mill,
air transportation or coal
mining"

Canadian Business
Reacts During June

After an active May, during
which many barometers reached
higher levels than at any time
since September, 1880, Canadian
business showed some reaction in
June, according to the monthly
business summary of the Bank
of Montreal.
Wheat exports were the lowest
in June since 1920 and those Of
wheat flour the lowest since 1921.
The abnormaly low wheat move
ment adversely affected transpor-
tation and kindred interests and
caused the external trade of
Canada to be lower in June by S
per cent than 1t was In June,
1884,.
