PENNSY DENIES BOARD'S RIGHT TO INTERFERE

Representatives of Road Present Letter Opposing Privi lege of "Entering Realm of Management . DEADLOCK REMAINS (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 26 Representatives of the Pennsylvania railroad presented a letter to the United States railroad labor board today denying the right of the board "to enter the realm of management" and stating that "in view of the fact it could not discuss any of three points the board allowed it to discuss," it would not present oral argument. The board accepted the letter and announced it .would give a decision at a later date. The action leaves the decision of the board calling for a new election

to arrange rules and working conditions still in force but with the railroad company denying the right of , the board to make such an order, or to enter into any other phase of differences between the carriers and the men. except the hearing of and adjudication of disputes. Pennsy Application The Pennsylvania in its application for a hearing asked that the board hear it upon the issue of law and facts as to the right of the board to make rulings upon elections. The reply of the board allowed the company to present facts concerning "what employes not in the active service of the carrier such as men laid off, furloughed, or absent on leave, shall participate in the election of committees, and how the representative capacity of spokesmen of unorganized employes shall be ascertained." The carrier also was permitted to offer evidence of the adoption or ratification of its shopcraft rules by representatives of the crafts, fairly elected by a majority of that class: i Rea Asserts Right. Samuel Rea, president of the railroad, in a letter to the board, made public last night, asserted the right of the carrier to "deal with Its own employes without the intervention of individuals or organizations whose manifest object is the denial of the fundamental right of employer and employes to deal in the first instance directly with each other respecting wages and working conditions in which they alone are directly interested." The corunanv on Auz. 24 asked the

V board to set aside its decision calling

for a new election of Bhop crafts committees to negotiate with the carrier. The board granted the company's request but limited the hearing to certain points. FORMER JAP PREMIER IS REGAINING GRIP ON NATION'S AFFAIRS (By Associated Press) TOKIO, Sept. 26. Friends of Takashi Hara, Japan's Prime Minister, says that far from being overthrown by his political oppopents. he seems every week to be getting a stronger grip upon the Empire, and now stands forth a powerful dominating figure, like C'lemenceau and later Briand in France and IJoyd George in England. Hara, the imperturbable, some one has styled him. His smooth-shaven, smiling face seems crowned too young vith pure white hair. He never loses his calm even when others of his official family depart for a moment from traditional oriental impassivenss when some such event as, for example, the American suggestion to discuss far-Eastern policies, comes unexpected, and. perhaps, undesired. At the cabinet councils he is said to impose his will like a Napoleon, end like Napoleon he sleeps brt five hours a day. It is a common opinion t . i 1 : . . l. H niun S ja(.inc' mat lit- I.- me muii who decides almost all important is sues coming before the cabinet, other ministers merely serving as his secretaries, so autocratic is he in the handling of the government affairs. Japanese atribute his domination of his cabinet to his indomitable will power rnd political sagacity or cleverness. Complex Character ' There is a laying that to understand Japan's foreign and domestic policies one need. to understand Takashi Hara's character; but Mr. Hara a not a personality to be understood easily. He always keeps his plans to himself and very few of his ministers or close associates know anything about his intended move until the last momfnt It is believed that it was Mr. Hara and not the home minister who recommended that drastic steps be taken to handle the labor situation in Kobe when the issue was brought up for a final decision of the cabinet, and his word became law, whether good or bad. Reporters find Hara a hard man to interview. He is gracious enough, but his flashes of humor disturb them. Some of them tried to get him to talk about the Washington conference the other day. He sparred for a while and then added: "Now, let'g stop talking shop. I don't like to talk every day about such dry subjects. I feel in heaven only when I return to this native city of mine." This was a reference to Morioka, where he was visiting. nuw nuuui iu.y ucaiLu; it nut. if I only get five hours sleep, which i hard enough to get these days. Mrs. Hara?

Debate In Prospect.

TUBERCULOSIS SITE PRAISED BY AliERBACH

State Authority Says Smithheld is Ideal Location Urges Protection of Public Health. POINTS TO BENEFITS "Few institutions in or outside of In diana have a better place for a tuber-1 cuiosis nospital tnan has Wayne coun-j ty," said Murray A. Auerbach, executive secretary of the Indiana Tuber culosis association, tollowing a visit to Smitbfield. Wayne county's nronosed site. Saturday afternoon. air. Auerbach went over the site very thoroughly Saturday after having discussed the erection of a hospital with a number of interested local citizens, Saturday morning. He was pleased with the lay of the land and said there should be no hesitancy about building a hospital upon the site available south of Richmond. "I realize the difficulty confronting the county commissioners," Mr. Auerbach said. "They do not wish to raise the tax rate of the county, but I hope they will not lose sight of bigger things in trying to hold down the rate. The health of a community must be considered of prime importance. . Smithfield is Ideal. "The Smithfield location is an ideal one. The farm and hospital grounds are separate, and I believe enough produce can be raised upon the farm to practically supply the patients with much of the needed foods." Mr. Auerbach suggested that light farming be followed upon the farm so that patients able to do light work could take part in helping to produce the necessities. "Tuberculosis hospitals are generally considered as a gloomy place. That is wrong. As an institu on they are of benefit to a community. It is proved by hospitals now in operation that the land about a hospital always increases in value. "Never are tuberculosis hospitals detrimental to the community in which they are placed. It also has been found that there is much less v 8fr of contracting the disease about the hospital than there is from the public streets." Relates State Situation. Speaking of the situation in th" state, Mr. Auerbach said: "While Indiana ranks second amon? the states of the middle western group as regards freedom from tuberculosis there is still much to do before the state may be proud of its work against the disease. , authorities, the vigilance of the doctors and the educational program of the Tuberculosis association, the death rate in Indiana is steadilly decreasing It was lower last year than in 1919. and in fact, has shown a constant improvement, all things considered, since 1915. "Each year , the people of Indiana buy more literally of the penny seals, and the money they spend spreads th propaganda against the disease. This helps cut down the death rate, but Indiana must do more than she has done. We must aim not merely to equal the Michigan record of 85 deaths per 100,000 population, but we must try to make the st.it. e f from tuberculosis as Kansas, where the death rate is only 51, or Utah, where it is 45 per 100.000. "Indiana's death rate from tuberculosis for the year 1919 was 110 29 per 100,000 population." WOMAN'S CLUB OPENS 1921-22 PROGRAM BY .

QUIT HUGGING DELUSION, PLEA OF PRESIDENT Harding Describes Present Industrial Situation as "War Inheritance Throughout the World" in Opening Session. HITS TREASURY TONIC

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. C. Sept 26. The national nuemployment conference, which the administration hopes will evolve means of putting the nation's involuntary idle back to work was formally opened by President Harding here today. Addressing the half hundred industrial, economic, and labor leaders comprising the conference, the president described the present industrial depression as a "war inheritance throughout the world" for which, as applied to the United States he "would have little enthusiasm for any proposed relief which seeks either palliation or tonic from the public treasury." Belief was expressed by the president that the result of the conference would extend beyond the borders of th United States and that the delegates in their deliberations would be performing a "service to the world." Urges Patriotic Work. "Fundamentally sound, financially strong, industrially unimpaired, commercially consistent and politically unafraid," the president asserted "there ought to be work for everybody in the United States who chooses to work .and our condition at home, and our place in the world depends on everybody going to work and pursuing it with that patriotism and devotion, which makes for a fortunate and happy people." The president declared that "the open, sure, and onward way" to rid the nation of the war's aftermath of depression involved "liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, re-establishment .taking account ' of things done, and sober contemplation of things to be done." Any other way, he added, was only hugging a delusion. The delegates were told by Mr. Harding that they had not been invited into the converence "to solve the long controverted problems of our social system.' 'and that Secretary Hoover, whom he had designated as chairman of the conference would lay before them the program of discussions. -Expect Committees. It was expected that the conference would at once resolve itself into committees, possibly as many as 10 in number, to consider the unemployment question from its various angles and probably conduct individual hearings in formulating recommendations upon which the conference may construct a general policy. The conference purposes not only to formulate a program to meet the immediate problem, it was said, but also to work out a permanent policy for ' combatting unemployment whenever and wherever it may arise in serious degree. A mass of data already prepared by the advisory committee of economic experts appointed by Secretary Hoover will aid the conference in its work. NEW YORK. Sept. 26. Urbain Ledoux, champion of the unemployed, was on his way to Washington today .to "sit on the threshold of the white house" until he persuaded President Harding to publish a list, of 100 per cent profiteers, with a demand that they contribute half their gains for constructive welfare work. Whether he actually planned in camp on the president's doorstep or was speaking in a figurative sense, Ledoux did not make clear He declared, however, that he was taking with him a number of unemployed men to serve as human documents in presentation of his case. 127 BOYS JOIN HUNT FOR HIDDEN TREASURE One hundred and twenty-seven boys of Richmond went on the treasure hunt held Saturday by the Y.
