RAILROAD LABOR BODY GIVES PENNSY ROAD NEW HEARING SEPT. 26 CHICAGO, Sept. 20. The PennsylTania railroad Monday was granted permission by the United States railroad labor board to appear before it on Sept. 26 in support of the railroad's plea that the board annull its order for a new election of employe representatives in the negotiations over working conditions. The board, in the ruling, gave the road permission to present evidence on three subjects, namely: . 1. As to what employes not' In actual service of the carrier may vote
in election of the employe representatives to conduct negotiations with
the road over rules and working con ditions.
2. As to how the representative ca
pacity of spokesmen of unorganized employes shall be ascertained. 3. On the adoption or ratification of its shop craft rules by representatives of such crafts fairly elected by a majority of employes of that class. Road Asked Four Things The Pennsylvania's request of Aug. 24 specifically asked four things: That the board vacate its decision, of July 26, directing the Pennsylvania to confer with union officers and hold a new election for employe representatives to negotiate working rules; that the board find "in pursuance of the transportation act" that the carrier has the legal right to es
tablish rules, either with or without
conferring with its employes; that the board ratify agreements already j made between the Pennsylvania and its employes; and that an oral hearing be granted to offer in testimony in support of assertions made in the road's petition. In granting the last point the board decided to confine the hearing to the three questions above. The first question was raised by the desire of the unions to allow men laid off, furloughed or on leave of absence to vote in the representatives' election. Wants Only Active Men to Vote The Pennsylvania has maintained that only men in active employ of the company should vote. The second point covers the class of unorganized employes, which the unions claim to represent, and which the board in a recent decision said
should be represented by any em
ploye holding the signed authorization of 100 employes to act for them. The last point will give the Penn
sylvania opportunity to support its
contention that present rules, nego
tiated by "employe representatives," selected at a general election, are in effect and working satisfactorily.

UNEMPLOYED AUCTION BLOCKED BY POLICE; CURIOUS CROWD PARK
(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Sept. 20. Blocked by phalanxes of police reserves in his plans to feed and later "sell" members of New York's jobles army at a 'slave auction" last night Urbain Ledoux remained in retirement today. Fear that further clashes with the police would result in bloodshed and possible loss of life, he said prompted him to call off all plans contemplating any further assemblage of the unemployed. "I do not want trouble," said Ledoux, "I am trying to avoid it. I know the. temper of, the men. I have talked with them, I have seen the police and
I know their temper. I know there would be a terrific clash and someone would be killed." Calls Off Auction. Ledoux called off his proposed auction yesterday afternoon, after the police had convinced him by their vigorous methods in preventing him from distributing buns to the jobless and from holding a mass meeting in a hall he had rented, that they meant business. Nevertheless, several hundred of the
unemployed men and thousands of curious spectators were on hand at Bryant park at 11 p. ra., the hour originally set for the auction. Police reserves struggled with the crowd for more than an hour, wielding night sticks on recalcitrant heads before they were able to restore anything resembling order. Then a column of the unemployed broke through the police lines and paraded to Central Park where another crowd was attracted by impromptu speakers. The demonstrators tied from the park upon the appearance of a company of police reserves, assembling in the street again, however, for another march. They marched down Broadway, with the procession dwindling rapidly. By the time the column reached Madison Square it had shrunk to about 50 men who joined other homeless men sleeping on the park benches. Ledoux announced today that he would open in a few days a commun
ity center at St. Mark's in the Bou-
werle, operating barber shop, cobbler
shop and clothing repair departments to help the jobless make themselves
more presentable in their quest for
work. An employment bureau also
will be opened he said.
REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE TO MEET All candidates on the Republican ticket have been asked to attend the meeting of the city central committee to be held at Republican headquarters on South Seventh street Thursday evening at 7 o'clock. Plans for conducting the campaign previous to the city election Nov. 8 will be discussed. All precinct committeemen and women have been asked to attend the meeting. Harry Thornburg, city chairman, will be in charge of the meeting.
NEW YORK 'CITY. Sept. 20. During the hot summer days in New York, the most popular outdoor sport is bus riding. The wealthy minority have their golf and their tennis and their private motor cars, but the great mass get their outdoor exercise and recreation through the bus. A bus ride during the crowded hours of the evening may include running, balancing and deep breathing, while it ever fails to provide a regular osteopathic massage. Once in his favorite seat on the upper deck of the huge, ungainly, vehicle, the bus rider is jerked gently but firmly back and forth from side to side until every tiny bone in his spinal column has come into violent contact with the back of the seat, thus stimulating his circulation and arousing his liver to protesting action. But by far the most strenuous part of the sport consists in catching the bus.
Although the Fifth Avenue Bus com
pany is building busses as fast as it
can and recently turned out four new ones in one week, and while every available bus, whether it be aged, sick, decrepit, afflicted' with palsy or not, is being operated, still there are not nearly enough busses to accommodate the tremendous summer crowd. Thus, while the sport of bus riding is at the height of its popularity the competition among bus riders Is fierce and even frenzied. In winter when there are large chunks of ice in the Hudson and Riverside Drive is draped in silver in
stead of green, the busses are tame creatures and may be captured with the mere stretching forth of a hand.
Few people care to sit on the upper deck and freeze to death. But in the
summer open season they are often wild and must be approached with strategy and caution. Suppose, for instance, you select a nice hot Sunday night for your bus ride. You want to go up Riverside Drive, of course and so does everybody else. All the Nos. 4 and 5 busses headed in that direction are filled. The only thing for you to do, therefore, is to take a downtown bus, ride all the way to the end of the line at Washington Square and then hold tightly to your seat while it turns around and goes back uptown. Ambushing a Bus
with this clever idea, in view, you
stand on the corner of say Forty
fourth street and Fifth avenue, beside the giant street clock on the lookout for an unfilled bus seat. After 15 minutes of watchful waiting such a phe
nomenon is seen approaching at
rapid gait. Just as you are preparing to signal for it to stop, however, the huge red eye in the traffic tower at
Forty-second street changes to green and the bus comes to a 6udden stand
still at the corner above at Forty-fifth street. Fearing that the one lone seat will be grabbed by some one else, you
dash madly up to Forty-fifth street
only to see the huge green eye in the
traffic tower change back to red and the busi start forward again just as you are in the middle of the block. While such experiences are hard on the disposition and may help to explain why New Yorkers have a reputation for being churlish, even so this undignified pursuit of a bus is far better than taking a chance at one of the bus terminals. Here long, weary lines of bus riders are parked behind a rope and an iron sign stating that such-and-such a bus stops there. As each bus
draws up, the crowd surges forward
who was in the habit of engaging in such playful features of the bus riding sport when out with her companions decided to try it alone one afternoon She , was grinning vigorously at a young man In a taxicab alongside the bus when she was chagrined to see him say goodbye to his companions, leave the taxi and go on up the street. A few minutes later she was even more embarased to see the same young man sit down beside her. "It
never occurred to me," shg said, in telling the story, "that he could possibly get out of the taxi and get on the bus at the next corner," Speaking of smiles, immediately brings to mind the bus conductor, probably the most smiled upon individual in New York during the rush season in the summer time. The bus conductor can immediately wither your hopes of obtaining a seat on the upper deck, or he can steer you clev
erly into one. "Here, sit right down here by the door," he will advise it the smile is a dazzling one, "and as soon as there is a seat vacant on the
upper aecic m let you know." In a
UNION COUNTY PIG CLUBS SHOW RESULTS; PREMIUMS AWARDED
A large tent on the public square at Liberty on Saturday, housed the pig club exhibit made by the youngsters of Union county. The show ran mostly to litters, with individual exhibits in all classes also awarded ribbons. But twa classes of hogs were entered, Poland Chinas and Duroc Jerseys, and the general cash premiums totaled $120. In addition to these cash awards by the associations there were various premiums offered by the merchants and others, which helped make the young pig-owners happy. The sweepstake award for best Individual was captured by Robert Funk oa his 215 pound pig, aged 5 months. Best Litter Awards In the Duroc Jersey class, the prize for the best litter was awarded to Stanley Stevens. Glen Bond came second, Richard Creek third, Carl Grimm
fourth and Mary Creek fifth.
Stanley Stevens was awarded first
Automobile and Baggy Collide; Woman Injured Mrs. Feelie Bush, 1123 Sheridan street, colored, received a broken arm when an automobile struck the buggy in which she and her husband were riding about 10 o'clock Monday night.

case so that he (or, usually, she) can
quickly climb it as soon as the departing bus rider comes down. There was a time last year when'he crowds were so vast and the busses so few in comparison - that the bus conductors were no more to be influ
enced by pleasant words and smiles j
tnan me roreman of a chain gang would be. They had a supreme con
tempt for the public which mobbed the busses and a fine sense of their own generosity in permitting passengers to board. The bus rider who gave the slightest offence who did not "step lively" enough or who required change for a dollar instead of having a dime ready for the slotwas promptly taken to task in a loud voice. One New York newspaperman tells the story of a bus conductor who found little joy in his work after being a stage hand for the "Follies." He was quick to rebuke passengers for their shortcomings, and never let an opportunity slip by. One day when
tnere was a high wind on Riverside Drive a fat lady had great difficulty in keeping her skirts down as she made her descent from the bus. Clinging to the iron railing with one hand, she made a gallant but futile attempt to keep her wildly flapping skirt down with the other, meanwhile smiling coyly. The bus conductor watched her scornfully for a moment and then shouted: "Step lively. Madam;- Legs ain't no treat to me!" One thing which never fails to enrage a bus conductor is to have a passenger keep his finger on the push button for an undue length of time in signaling a bus to stop. "Hey, take
uugei- oa ue Den. Don t yez know how to ride on a bus?" is the remark which usually greets this performance. Sometimes, however, even the bus conductor meets his match. "Got me finger on the bell, have I?" replied one offending feminine pasaen-
ser in a rich Irish brogue. "Well,
ajez minK im playm' with it? Any
dood wouida known I wanted t get out at Seventy-second street. Sure, yez must be an Englishman!" During the month of August this year the Bus company conducted

The awards on best boar were made on the same basis. Lafuze taking the blue ribbon and Butler the red. Butler and Lafuee also took prizes for the two best gilts, Butler ranking first. Figuring on best "club member," the judges took into account the best
average gain, cost or the gain, the number of pigs raised, etc. This was a sweepstakes prize competition and was won as follows: First award, Francis Butler; second, Stanley Stevens; third, Mary Creek. A great deal of interest in the show was manifested by the townsfolk, as well as by the parents and other ruralists.
SELECTED SEED USED ; BY WHEAT FARMERS
RUSHVILLE, Ind., Sept. 20. About ten thousand acres of wheat will be sown in Rush county this fall with seed selected from wheat raised from hot-water treated seed, according to D. D. Ball, county agricultural agent. . This has resulted in there being slight demand for seed treating this fall, only two hundred bushels having been offered for treatment thus far.
The board of directors-of the Rush
County Farmers . association win aecide Tuesday whether the seed treating plant should be operated this fall. The plant has been in operation for two seasons past, with tbe result that most of the seed sown this fall will be free from the pests, to kill which
the seed is given the hot water treatment. - Regardless of whether seed is treated, farmers are warned that it is very important that wheat sowing in Rush
county rhould be universally postponed until after September 29, in order to avoid damage from the Hessian fly. Many inquiries have been received at the county agent's office
regarding the fly free date.

At last, however, you find yourself mounting the first two steps of the bus, ascending the small, iron circular staircase which leads to the upper deck and sinking limply into a vacant seat. The whole process is purely involuntary. Once the bus gets on its way, all is serene while the 'bus riders recover their breath, nurse their wounds and gradually revive In the fresh air. The men light their pipes and cigars and, if it is evening, the girls light their cigarettes. Hats are removed by both sexes, and the children are made com-

riaers. Between tour and six o clock when the crowds are greatest, the busses proceed at a snail's pace through the congested traffic on Fifth avenue, and it often so happens that an upper deck containing several young ladies stops directly opposite a car below, containing several young men. Under such propitious circumstances an exchange of smiles helps to while awcy the time. You often hear a flapper remark, "Say, girls, I got three smiles from that chap in the brown felt hat," or "Gee, didn't the bald-headed one have a grin!" Flirts that Pass in the Night.
