Railroad Passengers
Right to Seat Tested
BY A. F. Of L. News Service.

New York, N. Y.-The legal ques-
ton as to whether a railroad is re-
quired to provide passenger with
a seat on the train for which he has
bought ticket is involved in a suit
filled here by Philip Davis, lawyer,
asking damages of $47.80 from the
New York Central railroad because
he was forced to stand in train from
! Albany to New York. The trip took
two hours and forty-five minutes.
Of the $47.80, Davis demanded $3.50
as refund of the price of the ticket,
and $45 for the inconvenience, men
tai aggrayation and physical discom-
fort" suffered from being compelled to
stand during the trip.
According to the state law covering
the question railroads are required to
provide Sufficient accommodations
for the transportation of all passen-
gers and property which shall be
offered for transportation at the
place of starting within reasonable
time previously thereto and similar
accommodations at railway functions
and usual stopping places.
Passengers usually do not object to
lack of seats for few moments, but
when railroad company overloads it's
trains so that passengers are compell-
led to stand for nearly three hours
it is claimed the state law is deliber-
ately violated. The case is expected
to settle the legal question as to
whether or not passenger is entitled
to seat on a train for which he has
bought ticket"

Always want to call out the army

Why are these indiyidualists al

First: To get their individuality out

Powers Struggling
To Preserve League

GENEVA, May IA QN.S0.
With the League Council ad-
journed until the middle Of next
month, hectic diplomatic activity
began today as big and little
powers sought to reform and
"preserve the safety" Of the
League Of Nations, crumbling
under the blows Of Premier Mus
solini's victory in Ethiopia.
While League circles claimed
the League will continue sane
lions against italy until the next
council m eting and pointed
proudly but anxiously to its re-
fusal to recognize Italy's annexa-
ton of Ethiopia, II Duce's gov
eminent retorted sanctions would
cease because there is no reason
for continuing them, and that in
any event the League is power
less to harm italy.
Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet foreign
commissar, whose attitude toward
Mussolini has undergone a sud
den, radical change, now wants
sanctions to be eased. Litvinoft
hopes in this way to bring pres
sure on Britain and prevent the
Baldwin government from flirt
ing with Germany, an arch-foe
Of the SovietS.

ers were recaptured without gun
fire when prison guards over
took them as they were attempt
ing to commander an auto
mobile on Q highway near the
prison.
All Of the fugitiveS, Warden
Roy Kenny said today, are long
termerS with bad records. Armed
with pistols and rifles which
they forced guards on the prison
walls to surrender, Kenny said
he expected them to fight to the
death rather than surrender to
face long terms in solitary con-
finement.
Kenny feared for the lives Of
the two guards held as hostages
Tuck Cope and Victor Conn.
Describing the fugitives as des-
perate, savage characters, Kenny
said it is not unlikely the convicts
would do away with their
prisoners.
Fleeing Auto Sighted
A posse of 80 men was dis
patched to Scipio, northwest <of
here, after Warden Kenny re-
ceived word the auto containing
the fugitives was seen in that
vicinity, racing along the highway
at breakneck speed.
The convicts were expected to
abandon their car, stolen from in
front Of the prison gates, and take
to the woods as State and county
officials threw blockades across
all highways.
Governor Marland ordered State
officers here from Oklahoma City
to aid in the manhunt, and his
declaration that "all available
forces" would be thrown into the
pursuit was construed today to
mean that he may cali out Ma
ltional Guardsmen to augment the
State and penitentiary officers.

The dispatch with which the
break was engineered led author
tiles to believe it had been long
planned. The eonvicts suddenly
seized their guards when they
were lined up for noon roll call
in the prison brick yard. Bran

they forced guards on the walls

Baldwin declared today.
Addressing 1000 women mem
bers of the Conservative party at
Albert Hall, the premier said, in
spite Of Italy's victory in Ethiopia,
the ideals of the League covenant
remain the basis Of British foreign
policy, but there were many diff
culties in the way of imposing sane
lions because America, Germany,
and Japan are non-members. He
said:
Probably at the autumn meet

changes, If any, are necessary to

Britain has already indicated its
intention Of proposing redrafting
of the covenant, the offspring Of

without saying whether he re-
ferred to the Italian case, Baldwin
declared that military sanctions
are an essential part Of collective
security. He said:

Feeling Runs High
Feeling reached a high pitch as
the students waited for police to
carry out the Governors order
and haul down their flag.
Whipped to near-hySteria by
young Liberal party orators, one
group of yelling students tramped
upon an American flag and tore
it to shreds.
The trouble started when the
principal Of the Central High
School, weary of looking at an
independence flag nailed to the
school flagstaff. ordered it hauled
down. The flag had been nailed
there April % when the Tydings
independence bill was introduced
in the United States Senate.
Under the bill, the islands
should they vote affirmatively-
would within four years be set
"free and independent" from
the United States, which has
protected and guided their af-
fairs for the past SO years. The
citizenship they were granted 10
years ago would be withdrawn
and the American protective
tariffs would go into operation
against the new republic. The
latter result, It has been claimed,
would throw the island into vir-
tual bankruptcy.
/ No Alternate Plan
On a negative vote the islands
government would remain in
EStatuS quo. Absence Of an altern-
ative is reported to have incensed
the students, left wing patriots
and others now com m on y

The flag over the Central High

in plain sight of the police sta
ton across the street, and as q
consequence Governor Winship
