SHERMAN ATTACKS MEM FOR COERCING CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. A dramatic attack on the "coercing of Congress by the railway brotherhoods," by Senator Sherman of Illinois, today marked the final debate In the Senate on legislation designed to prevetne a nation-wide railway strike on Monday. Despite a bitter argument precipitated by Senator Sherman's speech, Senate leaders were confident that the administration strike bill would pass the Senate before adjournment tonight. Senator Sherman followed up his recent attack on Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, by roundly denouncing the FMroad brotherhood. He declared tfcat the brotherhood heads with their "hand at the throat of Congress" had forced the legislation now pending. Will Not Submit. "I will never submit," he said, "to the domination of any class of men in this country be they labor union leaders or representatives of employers. The Congress of the United States is about to be put in the position of surrendering to four brotherhoods whose ultimatum has been delivered." 8enator Sherman dashed into the debate after a long absence from the Senate. He declared that the proposed legislation was futile. Watch Out for Storm. "You are building this legislative structure on the sand," he said, "and SUGAR FAMINE FACES RICHMOND DURING STRIKE In the event of a railroad strike extending over a week Richmond would be confronted with a sugar famine, it was learned today. Local jobbers and sugar agents have had heavy demands to meet the past few days. The Hood Wholesale Grocery compang has a large stock of sugar on hand, but as It has not yet opened for business It is not accepting orders at the present time. The local agent of the Arbuckles Sugar company received a carload of sugar yesterday, and he was stampeded by purchasers. The supply was soon exhausted and he received instructions not to accept any additional orders for the time being. The Grubbs and Howard jobbing concerns are rapidly disposing of their sugar stock. They have shipments en route but are not certain when they will arrive. Dealers in towns neighboring Richmond are joining with local retailers in the clamor for sugar. Potatoes are still being quoted today at the record retail price of $2.25 a bushel, and each day this commodity becomes more difficult to obtain. One commission house was to have received a carload of potatoes this week, but it has not arrived, and the dealer is now convinced the shipment has been confiscated. STRAYER QUITS POST AS JUSTICE OF PEACE In tendering his resignation as Justice of the peace, to the board of county commissioners today, to take effect Sept. 23, Frank Strayer made a plea that an able man be appointed to take his place. Although petitions for the place were filed by S. K. Morgan and William B. Marsh, the commissioners postponed action on them until after Strayer's resignation takes effect. The application of Morgan carried signatures of 121 Main street merchants and that of Marsh carried the names of most of the attorneys. Strayer reported that since he has been justice, he has tried 720 cases with only one appeal from his decision. He has put the loose-leaf ledger system into practice, "and carried on the court with the same dignity that a circuit court should be, conducted." He criticised the lax ways In which justices' courts in general are carried on in this state. Strayer's term expires in 1919. ROHLFING TO SPEAK IN GERMAN FIRST On Sunday. September 10, Rev. F. W. Rohlfing. the newly elected pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran church, will preach his Introductory sermon to his new congregation The services will be in German, and in the evening at 7 o'clock an English service will be held. The Sunday school services in the morning will be specially arranged to welcome Dr. Rohlfing. Tomorrow the regular Sunday school services will be held at 9 o'clock, with Jesse Wiechman, superintendent. There will be no church services tomorrow. MAENNERCHOR SINGS FOR SOUTH SIDERS South Side Improvement association members will bold their annual picnic and family outing on Labor Day at the Beallview park. No speaking or formal program has been arranged, but various committees have been delegated to furnish music and entertainment. The members of the Maennerchor and the Militalre Verein have been Invited to attend the picnic. It is expected that a thousand people will attend. ATTENDS BIG BANQUET George M. Stevens of Liberty was one of the guests at a banquet given In the Florentine room of the Claypool hotel last night bythe Indiana Bull Tractor company for its local representatives.

when the storm comes it will fall." While Senator Sherman denounced the labor leaders, the four brotherhood chiefs prepared ' to remain in close touch with the Senate until the final vote was taken. They conferred with various leaders of both House and Senate. The Brotherhood leaders prepared to revoke the outstanding strike order just as soon as the eight hour bill had been agreed upon by the Senate.

BEREAVED FRIENDS ATTEND FUNERAL The funeral of George Schroeder, one of the old and prominent German residents of Richmond, which was held this morning from St. Andrew's church, was attended by a large crowd of people, friends and relatives of Mr Schroeder.

JOHNSON IN CAPITOL TO CONSULT DUNCAN INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Sept. 2 Nimrod Johnson, manager of the Richmond Gas company, was in Indianapolis today to confer with Chairman Duncan of the Public service commission, but found that Mr. Duncan was not in his office. Mr. Johnson tried to elude newspaper men and had nothing to say when questioned by them. It is presumed that he was transacting business in connection with the company's appeal for an increase in the Richmond gas rates.
