SOLONS BACK AFTER SEEING CONSTITUENCY Members of Congress, Returning from Recess, Have Much to Say Concerning Politics Views Differ. WATCH TUESDAY POLLS

PU,!,ADirM SEffH BI'RF.AU WASHINGTON. Sept. 19. Following a recess of little over a month, members of congress were coming in to ashington today from . all sections of the country to resume their labors. They have much to say concerning politics. They have been in close contact with their constituents for several weeks. The Republican members In partic ular have been sounding public opinion as to its attitude toward the policies of the administration and the work of congress during the special session. They profess to be well sat isfied with the political situation. On the other hand, the Democratic members of congress are asserting that they found the people complain ing because, they say, the accomplishments of the administration during its first six months have not measured up to expectations. Practically all the Republican con gressmen who spent their vacations in their districts were harassed by contestants for postmasterships. Many of them said that they were glad to return to Washington. Watch New Mexico Immediate political interest in Washington is centered in the New Mexican senatorial election tomorrow It is the first important election since the advent of the Harding administration, and it has been a hard fought contest. Senator Bursum is a candidate for re-election on the Republican ticket. His Democratic opponent is Richard H. Hanna. Bursum was appointed by the governor of New Mexico to fill out the unexpired term of Senator Fall when the latter resigned to accept appointment as secretary of the interior. There is no secret of the fact that Secretary Fall very reluctantly consented to support Bursum in the campaign which ended today. The two men have been political enemies for a number of years and, it is understood, the governor of New Mexico does not belong to the Fall faction of the Republican party in New Mexico. Reluctant to Change Stand When Bursum was nominated by the Republicans to succeed himself, Secretary Fall, it is recalled, left for Alaska on an inspection tour. Previ ously he had stated that he would do nothing to help Bursum in the campaign, it is reported. Arriving in Alaska, however, he received a message which informed him that the administration was anxious that he participate in the New Mexican cam paign. This influenced him to return I .rom Alaska, it is said, and during the closing period of the campaign he was on the stump for Bursum Whaf. effect Secretary Fall's attitude will have on the election forms an interesting topic for discussion in Washington today. Hanna, the Democratic candidate, has been making his campagin as a progressive," and Bursum has been represented as a "standpatter." It is asserted that Senators Johnson and 'Borah, the Republican "progressive" leaders, refused to give Bursum any oratorical aid. It will be a close contest. It is believed. In the event of a Democratic victory the leaders of that party are prepared to advance the claim that it is a repudiation or the Harding policies. Republican leaders are confident of r.ur.siiiu's election. In the event of his defeat, however, they will probably (hurge it to factional differences anions the Republican in New Mexico, and, no doubt, there would be a foundation of lact lor such an inter - pretation.

Count3 on Real Action. While the president has himself warned against pxpecting too much of the conference it is believed that in his heart he is confident of getting more than the pessimists count upon. Then the administration is looking to the work of the unemployment conference to furnish another chapter of pood work accomplished in behalf of the people. Tho-e who are well inlornied say that there is every reason to anticipate a notable achievement in that direction. Reports given out by the department of labor show that natural conditions are tending toward an improvement in the industrial situation. If the conference can succeed in making suggestions and proposing plans which will push over the top" the movement now under way, the administration will be expected to get the credit for the operations of economic conditions as well as the stimulus given by the conference.

DAIL CABINET CONVENES FOR HOUR'S TALK

Communication to Press Ex pected Tonight on Lloyd George Note - Refusing to Recognize Sovereign State. FIRM AST STATUS (By Associated Press) DUBLIN, Sept 19. The Dail cabinet held a full nieeting'thls afternoon lasting an hour. Michael Collins, minister of finance, and Charles Burgess, minister of defense, left the meeting early. A communication to the press regarding the session is expected tonight. The Dail Eiremann was called intoj session to deliberate on the situation brought about by the latest note sent to Dublin by Prime Minister Lloyd George. This communication was received yesterday at an hour that prevented the Irish Republican cabinet from considering it before today. Readiness to meet Mr. De Valera or other delegates from the Sinn Fein I "in the capacity of the chosen spokesmen for southern Ireland." was expressed by the prime minister, but he refused to confer with them as "representatives of a sovereign and independent state." Mr. Lloyd George declared that the section of the Sinn Fein note dispatched on Sept. 12, which was construed as placing the Irish delegates on a par with envoys from a separate power must be withdrawn before a conference was possible. Insists on Status He pointed out that when Mr. de Valera went to London to begin conversations as to a basis for settlement of the Irish problem he was received as the "chosen leader of the great majority in southern Ireland", and that Mr. de Valera accepted this designation. After Mr. de Valera on Saturday dis patched a telegram to Mr. Lloyd George stating that the Sinn Fein had accepted the Prime minister's invitation to the Inverness conference, but had merely detailed the position he and his colleagues were maintaining. it was believed the way had been pre- j pared for a continuation of the negotiations with the British government. Yesterday's note from the prime minister, however, made it evident that Mr. Lloyd George was insistent in demanding a clear declaration that Ireland had not renounced her allegiance to the British crown. Approved by Dail The note of Sept. 12 to a section of which the prime minister took exception, was approved by a unanimous vote taken by the Dail Eireann. It would appear, therefore, that another session of that body must be called for the purpose of maintaining the position assumed in that note, or drafting a new communication which would in some way, meet the views of the prime minister. The only cabinet member at the mansion house during the forenoon was -Arthur Griffith, foreign minister, who later was joined by George Gavan Duffy. Mr. De Valera telephoned that he would not reach the mansion house until 3 o'clock this afternoon. Desmond Fitzgerald, minister of propaganda, when asked today as to when a reply probably would be sent to Mr. Lloyd George said he could give no Information on that point. It was suggested in some quarters that Mr. De Valera may be content to leave the situation as it stands andj uirwuuuuc me cui respunuence. 1 nere seems to be general agreement that the paragraph in the Sept. 12 note, to which Mr. Lloyd George objects, could not be withdrawn without the consent of the Dail Eireann, which approved it. LIFER' DRAWS THIRD LIFE SENTENCE AFTER ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE (By Associated Press) POINT PLEASANT, W. Va., Sept. 19. For the third time within four years W. A. Griffith has been sentenced to life Imprisonment in the state 1 Penitentiary at Moundsville The Jury, which heard the evidence In the case of the state, against Griffith who was tried in the connection with the killing, Jan. 13, last of Ira Rousch, a riverman, today returned a verdict or guilty of first degree mur - aer witn a recommendation that the prisoners be given a life's sentence with one year solitary confinement Judge W. H. O'Brien pronounced the life sentence but ignored" the solitary confinement recommendation.

The night he escaped another prisoner was killed and when captured Griffith was tried and adjudged guilty in connection with his death. - . The second life sentence was pronounced upon him at that time. In the last case the prosecution contended that Griffith after his escape came to this reason and killed Rousch.

The state industrial law provides, he said, that any decision of the commission affecting wages, in order to be binding, must be agreed to by both parties to the dispute.

POLICE HOLD FIVE BOMBERS AFTERJIEHT Chicago Shoe Repair Shop Subject of Attack Dynamiters Caught in Act of Wrecking Building. EXPLOSIVES ARE SEIZED

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 19. Fourteen hundred sticks of dynamite three inches in diameter and 10 inches long and 100 sticks of TNT were seized today by police following the capture of five dynamiters in the act of bombing a shoe repair shop. One of the prisoners was shot in the side by police who had surrounded the shop for 10 hours following a mysterious tip that it was to be bombed. Richard Burke, 23 year3 old, the wounded man, was carrying a bomb when the five approached the shoe shop, after parking a stolen automobile two blocks away. Surrounded by Detectives Forty detectives hidden in neighboring buildings surrounded the bombers and ordered them to surrender. Instead Burke hurled the bomb and the explosion tore the entire front out ot the store, threw David Krenan, the owner, and his family from their btds upstairs and broke windows for blocks around. As Burke turned to flee, Michael Hughes, chief of detectives, shot him in the side. The other four surrendered. They gave their names as Michael Bench, James Smith, John Barry and Charles Young. After questioning they said Burke, Smith, Barry and Young lived at a house on Kimbark avenue, in the southern part of the city. Search of the house disclosed the bombmaking plant and exprosives, and in the garage a second automobile was found. Made Bombs for Unions. Burke, who is believed to be dying, told the police he supplied bombs for several labor unions, and also the men to throw them. Police say he made a detailed statement of bomb outrages undertaken for the shoe repairmen's and janitors unions.After questioning the prisoners Chief Hughes said the arrests would clear up scores of bomb explosions in the last six months and involve a number of union officials. An investigation is also under way to determine how Burke 'was able to obtain the stock of dynamite and TNT. RAILROAD SHOP MEN VOTE-STRIKE, AWAIT DECISION ON RULES CHICAGO. Sept. 19 Railroad shop men belonging to the six federated shop crafts' unions have voted to strike against the general railroad wage reduction of July 1. 1921, but will defer any action until the promulgation of working rules now pending before the United States railroad labor board, when another vote will be taken on acceptance or rejection of th rules. This announcement was made by B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts organizations, at a mass meeting of Chicago shop workers. Belief that a stronger fight could be made, if a strike was called, with preservation of the shop men's working rules as one of the goals, led to the decision to withhold a strike call for the present, Mr. Jewell said. He and other union speakers counseled the men to wait until the entire wage and rules situation was before them rather than rush into a strike which Mr. Jewell said, the railroad management desired. "We can make a real fight on the rules proposition when we might not have the full support of other branches of railway employes on a wage fight alone," Mr. Jewell said. "If we want to protect our best in terests we must wait until the time is opportune. But if the labor board releases all the remaining rules to be acted upon at one time, then we will have the whole matter before us. We will need only one vote to accept or reject the rules to determine what will be done." Replying to a question, Mr. Jewell said the 6hop crafts would have the co-operation of other organizations, including the four big brotherhoods. If a strike were called, and urged hi3 audience to prepare for action. The strike vote, completed Aug. 1. was announced as showing a constitutional majority against the wage reduction which went into effect July 1. This was the first. official confirmation of the result, which has been rumored for some time. Mrs. Clark Brown, Prominent Friend, Dies in Paola, Ind. The Rev. E. Howard Brown, pastor of East Main Street Friends church, received word Monday that his sister-in-law, Mrs. Clark Brown, of Paola. Ind., died Saturday night.
