family OF sovereign states. Appear

sembly, the refugee emperor, Halle
Selassie, made last moving bid
for Ethiopia's freedom.
The liking of kings" denounced
France and Great Britain without
mentioning their names. To the
generally expressed desire to re-
form the league, he said the weak
ness was not the league covenant
itself, but a lack of international
morality. The Negus' request for
loan of $50, 900, 900 to Ethiopia was
voted down. Previously Halle had
informed Capt. Anthony Eden, Brit
ish foreign secretary, that he would
return to Ethiopia Immediately to
join his loyal tribesmen and fight
for Ethiopian independence.
With Mussolini given satisfaction,
the Danzig situation brought into
the foreground the figure of Adolf
Hitler, chancellor of Nazi Germany.
It was Nazi follower of Hitler, DR..
Arthur Greiser, president Of the
Danzig senate, who demanded indie
pendence for the former German
city now surrounded by Polish ter
ritory and who denounced the
league and Sean Lester, league high
commissioner for the port.
Observers were of the opinion
that Greiser was acting under Or
ders from Chancellor Hitler. In
view of Germany's expansionist
program and its rearmament, they
feel that Danzig will be the next
Nazi objective now that the Rhine
land is renilitarized. BY the elm
nation of Commissioner Lester or
by the curtailment of his authority
over the international affairs of the
city, it is believed the Nazi would
be in a position to crush the opposi-
ton party and pave the way for an
nexation of Danzig by Germany. In
the event of a Nazi putsch on DAN
zig, it was believed that Britain and
France would cooperate in oppos-
ing it.

Justice Bailey Decides
Rail Pensions Are Legal

N ESPITE his previous decision
~ declaring unconstitutional the
tax on railroads to permit pensions,
Justice Jennings Bailey Of the Dis
trict of Columbia Supreme Court
ruled in an oral opinion that the
railroad retirement board could
pay pensions to railroad workers.
The justice declared that his pre-
vious decision on the validity of
the rail pension laws could not be
construed to mean that the retire
ment act itself was demonstrations
al. He ruled that the government
could proceed to collect from rail
workers sum amounting to 31s
per cent of their salaries and could
use the money to pay retirement
pensions to the workers when they
reach sixty-five years of age or
have worked 40 years.
He also ruled that the railroad
retirement board could proceed to
collect information on which to al
lot the pensions, provided it did so
at it's own expense and by recon-
pensing the railroads for any cleri-
cal work involved.

pect. Discussions of the farm prob
lem and conferences with Governor
Landon's political advisers were on
the program. The Republican stand
ard bearer was not expected to re-
turn to Colorado until after the no
LITIGATION ceremonies. .
In the meantime, great activity
was apparent in opposing campaign
headquarters.
President Roosevelt summoned
Democratic National Chairman
James A. Farley to Washington for
a conference on the political cam
paign. It was expected that the
question of Mr.. Farley's retirement
from the cabinet about which there
has been considerable rumor lately,
would be decided. The Democrats
have established national headquar-
tiers at the Biltmore hotel in New
York and it is from here Chairman
Farley will direct the campaign.
John Hamilton, national chairman
of the Republican party, opened
national headquarters in Chicago.
He addressed 1890 banqueters at
a dinner in his honor and declared
that the reaction of voters in recent
days has been disheartening to the
Roosevelt administration. Since the
Cleveland convention, he said, the
Democrats had offered the Repub-
licans the "sincere f1attery of imi-
tation."

Answer Took Wind
Out of His Sails

The late Duke of Buccleuch,
when Lord Dalkeith, sat in the
house of commons for several
years. Once, while canvassing
his constituency, he met an old
farmer and solicited his vote.
The farmer did not know the
noble candidate.
''But you know his father, the
duke?" said a helper.
"Aye, 1 know the duke-he's a
gran mon," said the farmer.
"Then you'll surely vote for his
son."

National Labor Relations Board re-
opened a fight in the courts to force
steel companies to accept the Ma

The board announced it had petit

Meanwhile the full resources Of

Recovery of Business
Holds in First Half

Holds in First Half
CONTINUING business recovery
" during the first six months of
1886 fulfilled the hopes of optimist-
ic prognosticators and surpassed
the expectations of conservative
forecasters.
All the leading trade barometers
registered fair business weather at
the close of the first half of the
year. The production of automo-
biles reached 100000 units in the
first six months of 1886, the best for
the period since 1929.
Improvement was further reflect
ed by the steel industry, the opera
tons of which rose from 1872 per
cent of capacity at the start of the
year to 71.2 per cent at the end
of June. The output of electricity
climbed steadily to reach an all
time peak in June.
The steady recovery of the rail-
roads was indicated by carloadings
which worked up to approach their
best levels since 1881. The figures
for the first six months of 1896
were substantially better than
those for the similar period of 1885.
A strong upsurge of home build
ing gave impetus to the construc-
ton industry although it still re-
manned at subnormal levels.
Another barometer of improved
conditions was the stock market
which extended the gains it made
in 1885 and reached the highest
ground it has held since 1881.
