FINANCES OF BUS COMPANY VITAL FACTOR

No Assurance of Continuous Service if Bus Line Drives Street Car Company Out of City. CAR LINE MAY QUIT

Many citizens were., wondering Friday what might be the financial backing of the Richmond Motor Transit company, which proposes to operate a bus line system over the Richmond ' streets. An ordinance regulating the traffic of bus lines is pending in the city council now, and if the franchise is voted Tuesday night the bus line company says it will begin operations Wednesday. The interest of the community in the proposed bus line enterprise is a vital one, business men believe. If the company has no solid financial 3k backing, there is no guarantee, they V say, that the company will give continued and satisfactory service. Officials of the treet car company announced Friday that if their revenues were curtailed by the bus lines

they would be forced to suspend all traffic, run their cars in the barns, and I discontinue the service which they have given for many years. Effect of Suspension The possibility of the suspension of the street car service is a question of great concern to many business men, who appreciate the necessity of regular and sustained transportation on the Richmond streets. If the bus line company lacks sufficient capital to guarantee service over a period of years and goes to pieces in mid-winter, or in twelve months, and the street car company has its plant idle, thousands of persons who depend upon the street cars now will find themselves greatly discommoded. In fact, there will be no means of street transportation as now provided by the street car company, business men say. They believe the city council should be very careful in enacting an ordinance that will grant to the bus line privileges, which, in turn, will force the street car company to sus-

I Betmve Stock Selling Scheme

effort to obtain a franchise is merely a method to help sell stock in the company, and that no action should be taken until the career of the men back of the comnany have been thoroughly investigated. They recall how, a few years ago. a number of traction line projects were offered here that ostensibly were to furnish better transportation north and south, but in reality were only means of trying to sell stock to the public. The same method, they believe, may be back of the effort to get a bus line franchise now. Pay Roll $75,000. Suspension of city service of ih, Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company, which may follow the granting of a franchise to the proposed bus line, will involve the cessation of an annual pay roll of $75,000. rnd of taxes of $7,212, paid on the city !ine, saik G. K. Jefferies. general superintendent of the traction company, Friday. Mr. Jeffries has just completed an inspection of the Richmond line, he said, and his recommendation for a suspension of the city service, if the revenue is curtailed by bus line opposition, has received the approval of the company"s officials. ."The Richmond lines have been operated at a loss," he said, "and the deficit has been supplied by the trac tion company. In 1921, we had $1,300 left after paying operating expenses nnd taxes, without including depre ciation, bond interest and other fixed charges. Fares Low Here. "Richmond is one of the six or eight cities in the United States that still has a five cent fare. If the bus line operations on the streets of Richmond, which is provided for by the pending ordinance, curtails our revenue, the cars will be run into the barns, and the entire city service will be sus pended. "We do not care to take this action, but we cannot operate at a loss. In Saginaw, Mich., where a similar situation arose a year ago. the street car company was forced to suspend in the face of bus line operation. Today the council and citizens of that city are offering the company a franchise and every advantage possible in order to get it to resume street car service. Money Stays Here. "The $75,000. which we spend on our pay roll in Richmond, is no small item. The money is paid to Richmond men, and the greater part of that money goes back to Richmond merchants." R. I. Todd, president of the system, said the bus line franchise would enable it to charge a six cent fare, or five tickets for 25 cents, whereas his company was limited to a five cent straight fare. He reiterated the position outlined by Mr. Jeffries, that a reduction- in revenue would involve discontinuance of service. Anthracite Miners Hope For Signing of Agreement (By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Develop ments in the anthracite coal tie-up today caused rumors of optimism for an early settlement of the dispute that has kept 155,000 miners in idleness for five months. While efforts of none nf the mediators to bring the two fac tions together in a new conference has ben successful much importance was attached to the statement issued by the operators last night that they will yield on the wage controversy u lm pelled by a "public mandate."

Dream of Happy

Excursions Ended For Congressmen PALLADIUM XEWS BUREAU WASHINGTON, Sept 1. Members of congress who were expecting a recess would be taken at the end of this week are now disconsolately cancelling their railroad reservations. An adjournment of congress before October 1 appears to be improbable. A week ago a recess by September 4 preliminary to an early fall adjournment, appeared uch a certainty that an announcement to that effect was made by Representative Mondell, the Republican floor leader of the house. At that time it was the general un derstanding that the conference com mittee on the tariff bill would not complete its work until Oct. 1, at the earliest; also that there were prospects for a prompt settlement of the railroad shopmen's strike at the New York conference. But the plan for the September recess went glimmering this week when the tariff conferees issued a statement that they would complete their work cn the bill by Sept. 15. Also the failure to reach a settlement of the . railroad strike was important in determining the Republican leaders to' continue the sessions of congress lor the time being. Hard to Get Quorum. Ever since the members of the house returned from their summer recess, Aug. 15, a bare quorum has been answering the roll calls, and no one will be particularly surprised if a quorum will be lacking in the house as soon as the coal and railroad strike situation legislation has been disposed of. The siren voice of politics is call(Please Turn to Page Five) POLICE ARREST MAN ON CHARGE OF FRAUD; BOGUS CHECKS GIVEN Raymond Browning, alias Roy Ward, Is being held by Richmond police on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses as the result of his claiming a package at, the postoffice which had been ordered held up by a Chicago mail order concern. Browning was arrested at Eleventh and Main streets at 7:30 o'clock Fri day morning by Officers Vogelsong and Cully after he had called at the postoffice for mail under the name of Roy Ward. A package mailed to him by a Chi cago house had been held by the lo cal office on orders from Chicago. Thursday evening Browning, appear ing in considerable haste at one of the windows, just before closing time, asked for the package, and a substi tute, unaware of the order, handed it out to him. - Escapes Postmaster. Browning called again early Friday morning for more mail. Postmastei Beck stepped out of his office to put the man under arrest, but Browning managed to get outside the door and escape. Police were notified and arrested him a few minutes later. In the mail which had been handed the prisoner, was a letter from the Chicago concern, calling his attention to the fact that two checks for $58 and $84. made on a local bank, had been returned as valueless. Browning had torn the letter up and thrown away the pieces. He will be held until word is received from the Federal authorities. "COGNIZANCE" TAKEN OF REPARATION ACTION BY FRENCH CABINET CBy Associated Press) PARIS, Sept. 1. The French cabinet today simply "took cognizance" of the decisions of the reparations commission on the German moratorium question, neither approving nor disapproving it. It especially reserved, however, "entire liberty of action m case later developments made other action necessary. The cabinet held that inasmuch as no moratorium had been granted Germany it could only "recognize" the situation, but it insisted that a confer ence should be called, attended by "all the allies without exception,'' at which the questions of inter-allied debts and reparations should be fully consid ered. RAILROADS PRESENT ARGUMENT ON WAGES (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept., 1. Spokesmen for the 105 railroads involved in the hear ing on the petition of 900,000 mainten ance of way men for a minimum wage of 48 cents an hour, had their turn be fore the United States railroad labor board today. The board is expected to hand down its decision in the case within the next two weeks. The trackmen finished their presen tations yesterday. The carriers expected to complete their side of the case during the day. Jacob Aaronson. attorney for the New York Central lines, was chosen by the carriers as their first spokesman. John G. Walter, executive secretary of the bureau of information of the eastern roads, who planned to address the board in behalf of the carriers was called to New York by illness in his family.

NAVAL SHIP IN BUENOS AIRES Argentine Gunboat Sunk and Five Other Vessels Rammed When Munson Liner Be comes Unmanagable. DEATH LIST IS SMALL fBy United Press) BUENOS AIRES, Sept 1. An Argentine gunboat was sunk and five other vessels rammed and badly damaged by the Munson liner American Legion which became unmanageable in the harnor here when about to de part for New York yesterday. A check-up showed four injured, in cluding officers of the gunboat Azopardo, which went to the bottom immediately after the American ship started running amuck. Passengers were ordered to remain aboard the American Legion pending an investigation by the Argentine government which began today. Conferences are under way between the United States minister to Argentine and several naval officers. Vessels Damaged Other vessels damaged during the brief, apparently aimless rush of the American Legion which wreaked havoc among small craft in the crowded harbor were: . Patria, a gunboat; Gavit, a scout ship; No. 3. a scout ship; Pampa, a transport; Patagonia, a transport. The American Legion, as far as could be learned, escaped all damage. The sinking of the Azopardo was described by witnesses as very sudden. One version-of the mishap was that the American Legion dashed the Argentine ship against the rock, sending it to the bottom in a- few minutes: Only the fact that, many ships were in the harbor to participate in the rescue work prevented a big casualty list. The American Legion will sail tonight The American . Legion, of 13.737 tons, is the largest of the Munson Line fleet, which has been establishing a popular passenger service between New York and South American ports. BOMB FACTORY FOUND NEAR ALBUQUERQUE; RADICALS ARRESTED ' (By United Press) ALETJQTJERQTJE, N. M.; Sept. 1 A "bomb factory which was alleged to furnish bombs for use by railroad radicals was discovered here following the arrest of two men carrying a suit case loaded with internal machines. Authorities believed they had frus trated a widespread plot to blow up railroad bridges, tunnels and other property. The two men arrested were W. P. Seyfred, president of the New Mexico state federation of labor and Andrew Bruno, taxicab driver. Arrested on Train. The men were arrested on a Sante Fe train a short distance from Albuquerque by sheriff's officials and a special agent of the department of justice. Three bombs were discovered m the suit case. They were fitted with fuses and ready for use. One weighed eight pounds . Following the arrest, officers searched Seyfred's rooms and declared they found two unfinished bombs and quantities of materials for the manufacture of the machines. Search of an Albuquerque pool hall disclosed three more bombs. Seyfred and Bruno claimed they were going to Trinidad to make speeches. $12,000 FOR EARLHAM FROM DELAVAN SMITH WAUKEEGAN, 111., Sept. 1 The will of Delavan Smith, publisher of the Indianapolis News, who died at his home in Lake Forest, Aug. 25, was filed for probate here today, disposing of an estate conservatively estimated at $',000,000, approximately half of which, $1,000,000, goes to the Indianapolis foundation, and the other goes to specific bequests.

Bonus Bill in Hands Of Conference Committee CBy Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Sept. 1. Approved by the senate 47 to 22, the soldiers bonus bill was sent back today to the house, which passed it last March by an even greater proportionate majority. House leaders planned to send the measure to conference today un der a special rule which would limit debate sharply. Senate and house conferees will be the same as those on the tariff measure, but since there are few points of difference between the two houses on the bonus, the managers are expected to lay aside the tariff long enough to frame a report on the compensation measure. With favor able action on this report by congress the bill would be ready for the president i

Officials said that the workings could not be penetrated before next week. - ' The fire in the Argonaut shaft which imprisoned the miners last Sunday is believed to be virtually out, but huge timbers, saturated with oil, still smoulder, and the heat below the 2,500 -level is intense. The boring operations to open a tunnel to the miners are in progress from the Kennedy mine, adjoining the Argonaut. In response to an appeal for rescue workers to take the places of men exhausted from their labors of the past four days, six helmet men and equipment of the United Comstock Mines company are being sent from Virginia City, Nev., to Jackson, according to word received from Reno. The number of entombed men was fixed at 47 when mine officials today made public a corrected list supplementing an earlier one which con tained 43 names. Twelve of the Imprisoned miners are married and if they perish 26 children will be left fatherless. There are two brothers, A. Leon and L. Leon, and a father and son, Charles Oberg and Arthur Oberg.

Eleven persons were injured when a Big Four passenger train ran through an open I switch and plowed into the rear end of a freight train on a siding near Brownsburg in Hendricks county early today. Railroad officials discounted a sab otage theory when it was discovered the lock of the switch had not been broken. They said indications were the passenger train had "split" the switch and that the wreck was an accident. All cars in the passenger train except the Pullmans were derailed. Mrs. Lizzie Moon, of Paoli, Ind., an invalid sitting in a wheelchair in the express car, was thrown through an open door and sustained injuries which may prove fatal. - Engine Turns Over The giant locomotive of the passenger, No. 44 on the Peoria and Eastern division, rolled liesurelyr over on its side in the crash while persons in the day coaches and the express and baggage cars climbed out through windows and doors.

It is now a question of the relation between the president and congress. Mr. Harding would like to have certain legislation looking to possible contingencies aris ing out of strikes. He has asked congress to give him this legislation. That sentence expresses it too strongly. It would be more accurate to say that Harding has let congress know that he regards it as desirable that this legislation should be passed. He also has let the public know the same thing. Thereafter it is up to congress; also it is up to the public to make a noise behind congress if the public thinks congress ought to pass this legislation for Mr. Harding. The president has no immediate intention of making use of the legislation; on the contrary he would refrain from making use of it until circumstances should absolutely compel him to. He would refrain longer than any - other president we have had in many years. Is Patient Man Mr. Harding is a patient man. He ! will practice patience right up to the I eleventh hour. He will practice it to the eleventh and a half hour. Qnly at the twelfth hour will he do the drastic thing: That is why seizure of mines and seizure of railroads always has been and still is a remote outcome of these strikes. ' Further than this, President Hard ing is a law-respecting man. He has respect for the laws governing himself and his officers as much as for all other laws. Believing that regard for the law is at all times the "safe-guard of Democracy and that at the present time respect for the law is called for to a peculiar extent believing tnat President Harding wants to take pains to-be meticulous about the laws that limit himself and officers; that is why he takes the position that congress should give him the necessary authority for seizing mines or railroads is some turn of events should -make that. move necessary. There are many persons who think that the president of the United States has this power any how and that he does not need legislation from congress. Mr. Roosevelt, when he was president, believed that he had the power. Under similar conditions, (Please Turn to Page Seven) - HAYNES CALLS DRY OFFICERS TO CAPITAL (By United Press) .

RESTRAIN RAIt

WORKERSFROItl TOTING ROADS Federal Judge Grants Injunc tion in . Chicago Against Striking Shopcraft on Plea of Attorney General. .- SAYS ACTION IS URGENT CHICAGO, Sept. 1. The United States government today granted a temporary restraining order against the six striking shopcrafts, their officials and members, from interferring in any way with the operation of rail roads and their property. The order was granted by United States District Judge Wilkerson, on application of Attorney-General Daugherty and District Attorney Charles F. Clyne. The order will remain in force until Sept 11, pending hearing on the government's application for a permanent injunction. The attorney-general addressed the court immediately following the reading of the pleas by Assistant Solicitor Easterline. Explains Plea. Hi3 plea for the injunction, Mr. Daugherty said, was made necessary owing to th fact "that there comes a time in the history of all nations when the people must be advised whether or not they have a government." , No union or combination of union can dictate to the American union." the attorney-general continued. "When the unions claim the right to dictate to the government, and to dominate the American people and deprive the people of the necessities of life, the government will destroy the union, for the government of the United States- is supreme and must endure." Not Aimed At Unions. The attorney-general disclaimed specifically, however, that this was a move to break the union. "Tomorrow," he continued, "it will be said by some more malicious than truthful that thi3 proceeding is intended as a death blow to the unions. In my judgment, the injunction, is necessary for the protection and for the preservation of the unions themselves." The suit was filed shortly after the arrival of the attorney general in Chicago this morning. The plea for in junction named the employes in the railway department of the American Federation of Labor, the striking shop crafts and 120 system federations. Daugherty declared the transportation systems of the country were near a complete breakdown and that a na tional disaster was near unless im mediate steps were taken to aid rail roads in breaking the strike. Daugherty cited numerous acts of violence which he attributed to the strike declaring that more than 40,000 appeals had reached his office for aid in controlling the strike situation. Express Regret. "It is with great regret that I am compelled to institute this proceeding on behalf of the government," Daugherty said. "Considering existing conditions and the welfare of the people of America, there is no other course and under the circumstances I have not the slightest fear or doubt of the government's position." - Daugherty then outlined the failure of the efforts made by Presidenr Harding to bring a settlement to the strike and quoted ... from . the president's speech of August 18: "The government of the United States is not opposed to labor unions if they perform such functions as can be performed in lawful America. But, it may be understood that so long and to the extent that I can speak for the government of the United States I will 6et the power of the government within my control to prevent the labor unions of the country from destroying the open shop." - v Far Reaching. The injunction petition was characterized as one of the most far-reaching and drastic ever requested of a federal court in a labor dispute. - If granted, union officials would be restrained from "issuing any instructions, public statements or suggestions" to its members regarding the conduct of the strike. Funds of the union would be tied up and no money could be used to further the strike. , The court was requested to prevent all picketing, gatherings of striken and threats of violence or any act which would hinder the operations cf trains carrying interstate commerce or mail. WASHINGTON, Sept. -1. Leader of the striking shopmen will not abate their attempts to make their strike ef fective whatever action is taken 07 the court in Chicago as a result of injunction proceedings instituted by At-. torney-General Daugherty it was said here today by W. H. Johnston, presi-, ident of the International Association of Machinists, one of the largest strik-' ing groups. -' "The filing of this suit is just another blunder to be added to the large list which the administration has already made in dealing with the railroad situation," Mr. Johnston said. "I am surprised Mr. Daugherty isn't attempting to restrain the railroads instead of the men. The administration has done everything it could to help the railroad management" Mr. Johnston asserted that it would "take more than a- mere- injunction suit or an injunction to prevent the complete collapse of some of these railroads in the next 30 days," and added: - - "We shall continue with the strike whatever happens.-; We are not afraid of anything the courts can do. Men still have some constitutional rights in America and we shall stand on them." CHICAGO, Sept. 1.
