LABOR SEEKS GOV’T CONTROL AS PANACEA Rail Unions Propose to Get by Public Ownership. BEFORE A. F. L. MEETING DENVER. June IS. —The most sweeptag program ever yet proposed by orjanized labor, calling for Government ownership and control of the steel In- ■ Sultry, the coal mines and all other basic industries is demanded by the rail- \ road unions. Delegates of the railroad workers to the convention of the American Federa- j tlon of Labor, meeting In caucus last night, took action. It was learned today, that binds them to stand as a unit behind a resolution providing that the executive rouncll of the federation shall draft and publish a program of legislative action, ippiying the principle of Government swnership and democratic control to all basic industries. There is intimation that the majority f the resolutions committee, headed by Tames Duncan, first vice president of the federation, and John F. Frye, editor of Ihe Iron Moulders - Journal, who led the apposition to the Tlumb plan last year, do not look with faTor on this provision f the resolution. The railroad unions now threaten a fight in the convention that, according to predictions, will parallel last ysr-' contest, which resulted in an overwhelming victory for Government ownerIhip and democratic control of the railroads over the Gompers - opposition. They tgaln expect to have the support of the Joal miners, who already have declared for the nationalization of the coal mines. HI"ST HAVE VOICE IN CONTROL OF INDUSTRIES. “Notice was served on labor that it uld not get its rights from the intertats controlling industry when Judge E. EL Gary, by his refusal to accept collective bargaining, forced Samuel Gompers and other members of the labor delegation to withdraw from President Wilson's first industrial conference,” said Fred Hewitt, representing W. H. Johnston, president of the International Association of Machinists, and one of the leaders of the rail union delegates. “The present war on labor shows it can never secure those rights until it has a voice in the control of basic industries. The time has come in onr opinIn to demand a program of industrial democracy that will apply the principle of Government ownership and democratic control not only to ue- railroaus, out to the steel industry, the coal miners and all other industries classed as ‘basic.’ ” FATHER OF PLUMB PLAN TO ADDRESS UONVENTION. Glen E. Plumb, father of the Plumb plan, will arrive in Denver early next week to address the convention at its Invitation. He is expected to present a lew program that will be the kernel of the idea on which the program demanded by rail unions will be based. Supporters of John L. Lewis are confidently predicting his election as president of the Federation and announcement of retirement by Samuel Gompers. The Lewis boom has spread like wildfire notwithstanding rumors spread bv the Gompers supporters that Lewis has no Intention of running and will secon 1 the nomination of Gompers. A statement from Lewis announcing whether he will be a candidate is expected Monday. According to present indications, the rail unions will support him. It is con. ceded that he has the votes of the carpenters, which next to his own UDlon, has the largest voting delegation In the Federation. With the railroad unions and carpenters, Lewis’ supporters claim to have enough other votes pledged that will give the miners’ head overwhelming victory In a contest with Gompers. and some of the most conservative leaders are Joining the forecasters who see Lewis the next head of the Federation. ACCUSE HEARST OF UNDERMINING LABOR. A resolution which charges that the Hearst newspapers are engaged in propaganda which has for its purpose “the destruction of the American labor movement,” will lead to an attack on Wtllllam Randolph Hearst from the floor of the convention. It was learned today. From the Gompers enthusiasts come charges that Hearst has a representative here with SIOO,OOO to defeat Gompers and elect John L. Lewis. The basis of the resolution before the convention is a report published in the Chicago HeraldExaminer of a meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor In which some ODe is alleged to have cried: “Throw Sam Gompers out.” John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago Federation, In a letter to Gompers, denied that such an incident took place.

Tuberculosis finally developed, which caused his death, / Day and night Murphy . watched attendants who came to his cell for word *f the date being fixed for his execution. He finally became hysterical. It Is asserted, and for several weeks had been a patient In the prison hospital.

Chemists Drop Bomb on New Volstead Bill Claim Act Would Destroy Chemical Industry in United States. WASHINGTON, June 18—The supplemental prohibition bill of Represent;,tive Volstead which already has encountered strong and unexpected opposition In the House met "a chemical warfare barrage” today. Representatives of the American Chemical Society charged in communications to the House rules committee that the chemical industry “is threatened with destruction” by Volstead’s measure. Objections of the chemists are directed at those sections of the bill which were designed to hit the manufacture of medicinal preparations which can be used sos liquor substitutes. As the result of the increasing opposition to some features of the measure, the rules committee virtually has decided to refuse Volstead's request for h rule which would jam his measure through the House without the opportunity for amendment. Meanwhile numerous brewers are demandlng the prohibition commissioner allow them to sell medicinal beer under the Palmer ruling. The first section of the Volstead supplement knocks out this ruling by absolutely prohibiting the prescription ol beer. DRY CHIEFS SPLIT ON THE MEASURE WASHINGTON, June 18.—Prohibition workers split today on the question of amending the Volstead law. E. C. Dinwiddle, dry worker and former Anti-Saloon Leaguo official, urged that the purpose amendments to the Volstead law be divided and only the sections prohibiting beer be passed immediately. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League differed with Dinwiddie. IRISH OVERCOME COAST GUARDS Sinn Fein Destroy Three Stations, Capturing Guardsmen in Sharp Fight.

SAYS U. S. HAS NOTE ON ARMS TO SINN FEIN Washington Denies Receipt of British Message Requesting Cooperation. INVESTIGATE ‘PLOTS’ WASHINGTON, June 18.—The State Department announced today that it has received no note from Great Britain requesting: this Government to take strong: precautions to prevent the shipment of war supplies to Ireland for use by Sinn FeJners. LONDON, June 18.—A British note, requesting the United States to take strong precautions to prevent the shipment of war supplies Into Ireland for use by the Sinn Feiners against the crown forces is now at Washington, it was learned from a semi-official force this afternoon. British officials are preparing a mass of Information retarding the extent of gun running plots which will be sent to the United States unofficially for use by British secret service agents now operating in that country. This information will be turned *bver to the United States Government also. The documents will contaiu such concise details that it Is believed that the United States will be enabled to “bottle up” the underground arsenals which have kept the Irish Republican army munitioned for months. The whole thing has been brought to a h%ad by the seizure of between tive hundred and six hundred machine guns upon a freight steamer at Hoboken just as she was about to sail for an Irish port. It is considered that the present case offers a legitimate opening for the British government to put Into the hands of the United States Government all the evidence of the gun running and munitions smuggling that has been accumulated by Scotland Yard on both sides of the Atlantic.

2 CANCELLATION SUITS ARE FILED Indianapolis Firm Sued for $36,500. Two suits, one against the Gates Manufacturing Company, manufacturer* of automobile tops, growing out of cancellation of orders for materials, were filed In Federal Court today. Judgment of $56,500 1* asked from the Gates Manufacturing Company by J. C. liartz, a residence of Massachusetts The complaint charges that March 18. 1920. the local concern contracted with the plaintiff for a large amount of materials used in its business, but In August cancelled for all undelivered portions of the order. The other suit is for $14300.35 and Is brought against the Dudlo Manufacturing Company of Ft. Wavue by Charles L. Harding and Newell L. Tilton, comprising the Harding Tilton Company of Boston, Mass. It is charged tn this case that the defendant ordered a large quantity of wool worsted yarn from the plaintiffs Aug. 30, 1920, and later cancelled the greater part of the order. A jarge number of suits of this character have been filed In Federal Court in the last few months.

SCHOOL PATRONS TO MAKE STAND FOR BOND ISSUE (Continurd From Page One.) ings that are needed more than any others In any part of ludlanapoll...'’ It is understood that some of the remonstrators say that the Issuance of these bonds If equivalent to raising the tax levy fog school purposes from 80 cents to 94 cents. If these buildings vert to be built by a single tax levy that would be the case, but. as a plain matter of fact, this 1* very far from the true situation. These $847,000 of bonds will begin to mature In 1925 and will mature ut the rate of $50,000 a year from that time on until 1941. This will mean that the payment of this amount, together with annual Interest at the rate of 5 per cent, will be distributed over twenty years. For the first four years taxpayers will be called upon to pay only the annual Interest, which will be $42,350, or less than an additional 1 cent to the present school levy. After that there will be an additional $50,000 to’ be paid every year: hut the total will be lessened by the fact that thereafter the amount of Interest due each year wll] be constantly decreasing—at the rate of $2,500 a year. This will mean that, baaed on the present tax valuation of Indianapolis, that the erection of these four new buildings, so urgently needed, will actually cost Indianapolis taxpayers considerably lees than 2 cent* a year on their tax levy. School officials say that they feel certain that the people mdianapolls In general, as well as parents of children attending these four schools, have the interest of the public schools and pupils sufficiently at heart to be willing to expend this additional sum, less than 2 cents on the school tax levy, to prevent any possibility of a disastrous fire or other catastrophe at any of the schools on the list. RETAIN FRED SIMS, BOARD’S “ADVISOR.” The fact that the remonstrators have employed Fred A. Sims, formerly a member of State board of tax commissioners, and Frederick E. Shortesieler, secretary of the Republican State committee, to represent them at the hearing before the State board, has occasioned considerable comment among those Interested in the proceedings. It has pointed out that Mr. Sims is generally regarded as confidential advisor of the State board, and that Mr. Shortemeler, through his official position on the State central committee, occupies a similar Influential place. But In all events, even fortified with as strong a legal representation as the Taxpayers League, has selected for tho hearing, it Is a sure thing that they will have a fight on their hands from public school patrons when time of the hearing finally arrives.

Germany Held Menace to Commercial Future of the United Kingdom

LONDON, June 18.—Germany, now set for the greatest trade drive In history to meet her Indemnity obligations, is preparing for a commercial struggle to take all the world markets awry from Great Britain according to the Daily Express. The Daily Express views the future with undisguised alarm, declaring that j the British workingmen are going to suffer keenly from the Industrial comp*- j titlon. , “Before the war the total export of manufactured and partly manufactured goods of all countries in the world was thirteen hundred million,” says the Daily Express. “If Germany is to pay the war Indemnity as it 1* now fixed she must export more than fifteen lphndred mil- i lions of goods—more than the totsi ex. ports of the world before 1914. and twice the pre war export of Great Britain and ‘ Germany combined “The payment of the indemnity In the form in which the allied powers have now arranged—that . \ .he form of cash which equals manufactured goods.

WASHINGTON, June LV-The Phep-ard-Towner maternity bill “Is dead” for this sgsa >n of Congress. So Is the Smith-Towner education bill, according to Repre'wntatlve Fess, Republican, Ohio, cbaLman of the House Committee on Education and one of tb House leaders. The maternity bill which has been so strongly advocated by women - * organizations throughout the country may be revived at the December session of Congress, according to Fess, “but there Is not a chance for It during the special session.” The Smith-Towner bill has been strongly advocated by teachers, and has been equally as strongly opposed by Catholic organizations, which objected to the socalled paternalistic features of the measure. Representative Fess saya the bill creating a Department of Public Welfare, of which he and Senator Kenyon are Joint authors. Is certain to be enacted at this session, although it likely will be amended, and finally will be known as the Department of Education and Public Welfare. JUDGMENT AGAINST ASSOCIATION, Judgment for $5,620 against the Anderson Loan Association and William Howland of Anderson, Ind., Is asked by Allan Andrews, administrator of the estate of Martha Scott, deceased, of Butler County, Ohio, in a suit filed In Federal Court today.

SAYS MRS. LEEDS BOUGHT OFF FOR HALF A MILLION

New York Paper Carries Story of New Angle in Stillman Case.

NEW YORK, June 18—Jamea A. Stillman. multimillionaire financier who is suing his wife for divorce, is reported to have broken with Mrs. Florence Leeds, former chorus girl who was named corespondent In Mrs. Stillman's counter divorce action, according to a story printed today by the Evening Journal. It was said to have cost Stillman $500,000 to sever the bonds of friendship with Mrs. Leeds. In her counter divorce suit Mrs Stillman charged her husband with lavishing his wealth upon Mrs. Leeds and she charged further that Stillman is the father of Jay Leeds, the year old son of the former chorus girl. Mrs. Leeds at last reports, was living upon SttUmau's private ocean-going yacht. Modesty, which was flitting from one anchorage to another in New York waters. According to the new developments, however, Stillman was Influenced to break away from the vivacious and beautiful “Flo” Leeds and, according to the Evening Journal informant, has centered his affections upon a young woman .whose station in social life is much higher than that of Mrs. I>eeds. Mrs. Leeds is to have the custody of Baby Jay, but Stillman is to provide for him and educate him as a gentleman should be. The former president of the National City Bank is said to have been seen recently at a fashionable Long Island summer resort with the new object of his friendship and they appeared much devoted to each other. The young woman is described as a society girl well known in New York and Newport and a mem ber of a rich and prominent family. She is said to have been mentioned as a possible co-respondent in Mrs. Stillman's counter-divorce suit, although powerful pressure was brought to bear to protect her name and shield her from the scandal that would follow. According to the Evening Journal's informant. Stillman's affe-ttons for Mrs. Leeds have been on the wane for some time. Rece'ntly he was seen dining in an ultra-exclusive restaurant in this city with the oclety girl. Later he Is said to have accompanied her to an art exhibit nt the Metropolitan Museum of Art, In which she was interested. Mrs, Leeds is said to have accepted the break philosophically and told her frlends*that she realized such a relationship could not be lasting. Mrs. Leeds and her baby are in retirement “somewhere near New York.” It is expected, however, that they will go to Europe. Mrs. Stillman and her lawyers are elated over the course of the testimony at Poughkeepsie. They bcMeve the value of Dr. Hugh Russell's evidence has been considers!.ly shaken. Dr. Russell was one of the chief witnesses for the former banker, and testified thut Mrs. Stillman admitted to him that Fred Beauvais, a Canadian half-breed guide, was really the father of her son Guy. Mrs. StiUman. In an Interview, directly charged Mrs. Leeds with breaking up her home.

TRAFFIC SURVEY VITAL NEED OF INDIANAPOLIS (Uontinued From Fage One.) among officials of the transportation utilities and motorists' organizations who are in a position to make a comprehensive technical study Into action that the Daily Times devotes the first set of a series of articles uopn “What Indianapolis Needs.” to An exposition of what Is wrong with our means of getting about and wliat some people think might be done about It. First of all, Indianapolis needs a thorough survey of her traffic problem. Although various agencies have made studies of certain angles of it, there has been no comprehensive investigation of the whole subject. The Indianapolis Street Railway Company has concerned itself with getting Us passengers into, out of and through the congested district In the quickest possible time. A number of civic organizations, such as the Hoosier Motor Club, the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade cooperated in the formulation of the present traffic rules by the board of public safety, giving chief consideration, it has developed, to the needs of motorists. Nobody of such prominence as to obtain a hearing has taken cognizance of the troubles of the millions of pedestrians who cross ih* downtown streets every week since dow-i----1 town congestion reached its present point. There is no place where the investigator may go for complete and correct information. Nobody, so far as can be learned, knows just how many automobiles, on the average, pass given downtown points at given hours or what is the number of pedestrians crossing this or that point. Without this and hundreds of other such detail availables, those who have from time to time tried to work out some scheme agree, there can be no real solution. Many people doubt if a permanent solution can be had, Any relief In the downtown- district, with changes constantly coming, as they are *bound to come with the rapid expansion of the next few years, necessarily will be temporary, they believe. It is within reason to wonder whether such radical changes as elevated street railway tracks, or a subway may not be bought about within a dozen or so years. . SEATTLE PLANS FOR DOTH SYSTEMS. The city of Seattle, approximately the size of Indianapolis, has prepared plans for an elevated and subway system. A permanent traffic commission, of either public or quasi-public nature, to give constant attention to the problem has been suggested.
