SHOPMEN AWAIT [WORKING RULES BEFORE ACTION Another Ballot to Be .Taken When Labor Board Announces Decision. CHICAGO. Sept. 19.—Immediate danger of a railroad tsrike had been averted today. In spite of the fact that shop employes of the roads have voted overwhelmingly against acceptance of the 12 per cent slash in wagps which became effective July 1 on orders of the United States Railroad Labor Board, the decision has been reached to hold up further action until the board announces the new working rules now being formulated. , B. M. Jewell, head of the railroad department of the American Federation of Labor, which Includes the Federated Shop Crafts, made this announcement at a mass meeting of rail employees here yesterday. According to Jewell another ballot will be taken when the rules are announced, and if the membership votes against acceptance then a fight will be waged before the railroad board. Executives of railroads and representatives of unions are holding meetings ®ver the country to formulate anew set of rules. The wartime working rules were abrogated several months ago by the board. The direct charge that the Pennsylvania railroad had been chosen by other roads to wage the fight for an “open shop’’ was made by N. P. Good, chairman of the Pennsylvania shop crafts organisation. Good referred to the petition of the Pennsylvania no win the hands of the Railroad Labor Board which “insists" that the road be given the right to deal directly with its employees instead of treating ,with representatives of unions. Charges that railroads were attempting to force their employes to strike were made by B. M. Jewell, head of the railroad department Os the American Federation of Labor. Jewell gave this as the reason for advising membership of the shop crafts against a strike in spite of the fact that they have voted against acceptance of the 12 per cent wage cut which became effective July L “We have evidence that railroads are trying to force us to strike." said Jeweli. “A strike would give them an excuse to establish the ‘open shop.’ ” The railroad board is expected to announce its decision on the petition of the Pennsylvania Railroad that it be allowed to deal directly with its own employes instead of treating with union representatives.

EDITORIALS OF NEWS ONSIIANK ARE RECALLED Praised Him Ten Years Ago and Now Becomes Bitter Opponent. Following announcement last week that the pas tdeeds and personality of Samuel Lewis Shank. Republican nominee for mayor, would be stressed by speakers during the campaign to formally open about Ost. 1, steps to defend the Shank administration of eight years ago were tken by the Shank-fonllayor club today. Mr. Shank himself has been the ouly outstanding Issue developed so far. In defense of Mr. Shank’s acts as mayor the Shank-for Mayor Club “drew "the deadly parallel’’ between atacks which the Indianapolis News has been making on Mr. Sbank recently and whf.t the paper thought of him while he was mayor and immediately after he resigned. ..Other newspapers were quoted. From the News of Nov. 1, 1911, an editorial commenting upon a speech which Mr. Shank had made at a Board of Trade banquent the club recalled the following: x “It was one of the most enjoyable, keen cutting and best speeches delivered in Indianapolis for some time. The mayor Is right, the people have made light of him when they should have been giving him support. It is greatly to bis credit that without the support that he should have had he has come through without the label of ‘grafter’ on him and that be has made a good record as he has mafie in many things, notably his baudling of the market problem." An editorial in the News on Nov. 29. IPI3, just after Mr. Shank had resigned, according to the club read as follows: "Looking back over the three years and eleven months of the Shank Administration, one can not escape the conviction that Mr. Shank's actions have been those of a rincere man, and whose general desires, had they received the proper support, would have wrought much good to the city. He was sincerely attracted to the cheaper food campaign, because of the vital manner in which it affected the people. He worked fer market reform, and had it not been for the action of the council the new market plans would have gone through “Defeated In this, Mr. Shank still telieved that retail prices could be lowered by the elimination of the middle man. He then began his potato sales--# practical experiment in food distribution. Likewise, be followed a distinct policy as to street improvement and allowed a majority of the property owners to have a deciding voice in these matters. He has erred only as have all erred.” Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic nominee for mayor, addrexsel the Scientecta Club at luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce today. Both Democrats and Republicans started large forces to work checking registration fists against poll books. Charles I\ Tighe, chairman of the speakers’ bureau at Democratic headquarters, stated the place and time for the opening of the speaking campaign, scheduled for this week have not been fixed. An executive committee meeting wtll be held by Democrats in the Thirteenth precinct of the First ward at 2154 Olney street tonight. Mr. Shank will go to Evuikvlll* Tuesday to attend a furniture m“n‘s convention. He is expected m return Thursday evaiing.

STOKES DENIED * DIVORCE FROM HIS YOUNG WIFE tContlnued From Page One.) to swear that Mrs. Stokes had been fa- j miliar wKh a number of men. The wife, in her defense declared that Stokes’ charges were a "frame-up” and on her part alleged that the millionaire j was unduly familiar with many women, j Judge Finch's decision covered fifteen closely typewritten pages and was an exhaustive review of all the evidence in- 1 troduced by both sides. In his suit, Stokes alleged that Mrs. Stokes, a Denver (Colo.) girl, had committed misconduct with his own son ; (her stepsoij) and also with Holand Mil- j ler. a stepbrother; Ilaroid Bllllg, a cousin; George Sliroeter apd other persons. Mrs. Stokes made a sweeping denial of all these charges and produced the alleged co-respondents, who themselves flatly denied they had had Improper relations with her. She declared her husband had plotted a divorce from her to force her to surrender her dower rights and obtain custody of their two children, James, 5, and Helen Muriel. 4. DIVORCE "BY FAIR MEAN'S OR FOUL.” Mrs. Stokes declared her husband had told her he would divorce her "by fair means or foul.” Furthermore, she said, he forced her to sign various papers, which she feared later were documents signing away her rights to valuable property. Mrs. Stokes also declared her husband admitted he had had improper relations with other women. Stokes was accused by her of slapping and pinching her. Stokes, she alleged, had so many women loitering around his rooms that she was afraid to go out into the corridor for fear they would attack her. She quoted him as saying he believed some of the women would throw acid on him, and on ope occasion, she Raid, he came lnte the house with acid on his clothing, saying a woman had thrown it on him. TAKES OCCASION TO | REBUKE DEFENDANT. Justice Finch, in his decision, however, took occasion to rebuke Mrs. Stokes for parts of her testimony against the aged millionaire, as "exaggerated if indeed some of it really happened at all.” In this connection Justice Finch said: “‘Concerning Mrs. Stokes' counter i claim, it is plain that a great deni of Wbat she has testified to has been exi nggerated, 1f Indeed some of it really happened at all. This is shown by the fact that these occurrences are not entered In the body of the diary whtcb she relied upon, but are placed at the end of the book and are referred to only by stars placed in the regular portion of the diary. ' "In addition, while Mrs. Stokes was suffering this cruel and inhuman treatment alleged by her, she was writing most endearing and effectiouate letters to her husband. Mr. Stokes, however, j did not take the stand, contenting hlmsel with the announcement of his counsel that he did not wish publtcicly to take issue on the question of veracity with his wife. In consequence, while making due allowance for the exaggeration and unreliability of the testimony of the defendant (Mrs. Stokes) there yet remains sufficient upon which to find a decree of separation, especially In view of the : fact that the testimony has not" contradicted." ACID OR WHISKY—WHICH? Arron Martin, negro, 2159 Northwestern avenue, was found unconscious in a vaj cant lot at Senate avenue and Fourteenth street today. On one side of him was an j empty carbolic acid bottle and on the i other side was a gallon of "white mule” whisky. The police say Martin had drank some of th.* acid. Motorpolleemen Schlangen and Lowe sent him to the city hospital In an ambulance. He Is "held at the detention ward of the hospital and his comiititm is serious.

HOME EVENTS MAY CHANGE BRITISH PLANS (Continued From Page One.) anti-British element of Ireland, India and Egypt work more or less In common throughout the world. Until recently the Irish and the Egyptians employed jointly the same firm of prominent Washington lawyers for ’the prosecution of their causes before Congress and before the American public. American Friends of Freedom for Ireland, for India and Egypt embrace the same names. In the eventuality that Great Bhitain sent an expeditionary force into Ireland to suppress a war of rebellion, there are serious minded Britishers who are convinced that day would mark the outbreak of conflagrations in India and Egypt. More pessimistically inclined Britishers even Include a revolt in South Africa among the simultaneous possibilities. Not only would a vast British army be required to suppress wars in Ireland, India and Egypt but the British navy would be required for convoying British troops to battle areas, thousands of miles over st-a, The writer can state on high authority that Great Britain hesitates to reduce her naval strength on any considerable scale as long as Ireland remains unreconciled. The British navy will not be needed to fight the Irish. But it might be very much needed to fight powerful foreign allies Os the Irish cause. Britisher*, when speaking frankly with Americans roundly declare they must always take Into consideration that Irish-American “politics” might some day force a United States administration Into an attitude of hostility. While that possibility exists, —it always will exist while there Is rebellion In Ireland, the British 6ay—there is declared to be no strong probability that the British would cut down their fleet. • • Gffeat Britain is known to be prepared for disagreeable sltnations in Washington itself If the Irish imbrogio still bolds the center of the stage. The American Association for Recognition of the Irish Republic has publicly and officially threatened to “embarrass" the British delegation at the conference as much as possible. The British expect picketing demonstrations, processions and outbursts in Congress. They are that one of the leading American conference delegates, Senator Lodge, represents a strong Irish constituency—some times called "New Ireland —and that he will he a candidate for reelection in 1923. They are thinking anxiously about all these things and wondering what is in store for them on the Potomac two months hence.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

SHANTUNG ISSUE NEAR SHOWDOWN WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. -The issue of the return by Japan of Shantung to China soon may be forced to a showdown, it was indicated today. These developments stood out In the Shantung question: U China, It Is indicated, authoritatively, will refuse to accept the recent Japanese proposals for returning Shantung. 2. Japan, it is believed, may assume an attitude that she is Justified in retaining control of Shantung if t hina rejects the Japanese proposals. China is believed anxious to bring the question up in the Washington conference on limitation ot armament and Pa rifle and far eastern problems. Japan is more anxious that it be kept out. Secretary of State Hughes, it is known, would be gratified if there could be a fair and Just settlement of the Shantung problem before the conference, but he is also known to feel that all problems that are potential sources of international friction may well be taken up by the conference. If China refuses the Japanese proposals, Japan way notify the United States that it cannot consent to a discussion of the matter in the conference. Chinese Minister Sze and Japanese Ambassador Sbldehara here have kept the State Department Informed on the attitude of their respective government on the question ever glnc e the Japanese proposals were made. While Hughes is believed to be maintaining a neutrai attitude, he may informally use his good offices in conversations with these two envoys to bring the two countries to an agreement.

When interviewed at his heme Mr. Farrington denied he is a radical leader. “I make no pretense of being the leader of the radicals nor do I pretend to lead the conservatives,” he said. “Asa matter of fact, I make no pretense of lending any faction. I shall do in this convention as I have always done during the twenty-five years I have belonged to the United Mine Workers of America — put forth my efforts to do what I can in a constructive way for the -benefit of the United MitutWorkers of America.” Mr. Farrington said that so far as h> is concerned there is no politics in the international organization. He said internal politics would only be instrumental in defeating the purposes of the organization. He would not comment on what Is likely to be taken.up in the convention. From the conservative viewpoint the big thing to be taken up at the convention is the matter of wages. The administration is expected to contend for a continuance of the present wage agreements' which expire March 31, 1922. There may be some advocation of higher wages on the part of some of 'the delegates, but there certainly will be no agreement to a reduction. Second lu Importance is the West Virginia situation where armed conflict recently has attracted the attention if the entire country and has brought about the interference of the Federal Government. It Is expected that resolutions will be presented in the convention upholding the West Virginia miners and opposing what is termed the subserviance of State and county officials there to the demands of the mine, operators. In this respect the convention probably will demand the recall of the Bald-win-Felts detectives who have been employed as deputies throughout the mine region. Demands are also expected to be made on the Federal Government for a continuance of congressional investigation into the situation there. It Is also expected that legislation will be demanded to prevent the* employment of armed deputies by mine operators. The situation In Kansas also, is expected to be taken up and on this subject the radical wing is expected to put up a strong fight. Several strikes have been called in Kansas which the international officers contend are In violation Os wage agreements. Asa result Howat has been "called on the carpet" and the bitterest of feeling exists. It Is estimated that between 1.800 and 2,000 official delegates will be present at the convention. It will open in Tomlinson Hall at JO o’clock tomorrow morning with preliminary addresses by Governor Warren T. McCray and Mayor Charles W. Jewett and representatives of local labor unions. Mr. Lewis is expected to make his report iu the afternoon. The convention is the twentyeighth biennial meeting of the organization.
