. WHEELER T0 RUSH INTENSE CAMPAIGN Plans Whirlwind Speaking Tour of New York During Next Few Days. B the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September §.—A Sun- day breathing spell in New York be- hind him, Senator Wheeler of Mon- tana, vice presidential candidate of the La Follette ticket, left town early last night, intent on pushing for- ward his stumping tour through northern New York during the com- ing week. Although he delivered as many as seven speeches a day dur- ing the New England tour last week, he was not willing to rest all Sunday and accepted an invitation from the New York leaders of his organiza- tion to attend two afternoon gather- ings in city suburbs in company with Peter Witt, a Cleveland, Ohio, coun- cilman, supporting the new political enterprise. A boat trip up the Hudson river last night to Albany was the begin- ning of the tour continuation. Sen- ator Wheeler's itinerary for today scheduled an address at noon in Troy, another at Schenectady at 7:15 p.m. and a third in Albany at 8:45. Tomorrow ne will meet an audience in Utica at noon, and a second at Watertown at night. Two day meetings have been planned for Wed- nesday at Syracuse, while the latter part of the week he will work west- ward, some of his engagments being provisional and subject to adjustment. Collections at Meetings. A novel feature of political cam- palgning was introduced into Senator Wheeler's meetings toward the end of his first week tour, when committee workers of his organization began soliciting and collecting funds before or after his appearance. Money to support national. State and local ef- forts was regularly sought and the practice will be continued. Owing to the speed of his travel, and the fact that his party moved chiefly by automobile, Senator Wheel- er has so far varied only slightly his repertoire of speeches, though a new address was hastily prepared for the appearance he ma de Saturday plght in Cooper Union, in New York city. Over and over again he has el ated the argument that Repub and Democratic parties no longer represent a real division in popular sentiment, and are merely separate | phases of “a Wall street domination of public affairs, and he has sought to pillo President Coolidge, John \\_. Davis, Democratic presidential nomi- nee, and Gen. Dawes, Republican can- didate for Vice President, as pe sonal exponents of such “a system. Elated by Prospect. Conferences with party organizers have tended to elate Senator Wheel er, he has repeatedly declared, over the prospects of support for the ticket which he heads with Senator La Follette. His plans for the future are being made in entire disregard of the possibility that he may be called upon to stand trial in Montana be- fore election on the charge of mis- using his senatorial office, which was brought against him during Senate investizations early in the vear.

RAIL BOARD RESUMES HARD-FOUGHT CASE Takes Up Engine Service Brother- hood’s and Western Managers’ Dispute. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO,” September §.—The con- tinued case of the Engine Service Brotherhood versus the Western Man- agers’ Conference Committee, the lat- ter authorized to represent nearly all railroads West of Chicago, was to be heard today by the Railroad Labor board. Out of this case grew the situation by reason of which counsel desig- nated by the Department of Justice to represent the board, is peparing action to test in a federal court, the authority of the board to re- quire testimony. Some ninety gen- eral chairmen and two grand officers of the brotherhood refused to appear and testify, denying the jurisdiction of the board. The chairman of the board has indicated that in the ab- sence of representatives of the brotherhood, the board itself by re- search and cross-examination, can develope the emplayes' side of the case. g The board assumed jurisdiction when the managers’ committee re- ported failure of concerted negotia- tions with the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Engineers and Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen. The latter has asked the committee represent- ing the railroad managements for wage increases on the basis of & settlement on the New York Central, zpproximating 5 per cent. The com- mittee said the increase could be granted only in exchange of certain modifications in rules affecting wages and working conditions, which the emploves’ representatives said were not acceptable. Members of the toard said the dispute was a com- plicate one, requiring careful study. | Representatives of the employes, it refusing to place their case before the board, have held that their ap- pearance be construed as recognition of the propriety of the assumption of jurisdiction. Many and unusual pieces THE EVENING FARM EXPORTPLAN DEMANOED INWES Farmers, Appeased by High Prices, Still Cling to Desire for Future Protection. BY DAVID LAWREN . The idea of a national corporation, either Government-controlled or the development of a co-operative plan, to take care of the exportable surplus of American farm products, may get into concrete form as a consequence of the discussion of agricultural needs during the presidential campalgn. John W. Davis' speech in Omaha amplifying the Democratic national platform on the subject of an export commission or corporation does not reveal whether the nomince is willing to indorse the McNary-Haugen bill, which caused so much controversy at the last session of Congress, but both Mr. Davis and Mr. La_ Follette, are declaring themselves for the prin- ciple of unified control of exports, so as to onable the farmer to get better prices for his wares. Farmers Somewhat Appersed. Now tha it iz apparent that the farmer is getting higher returns, due to the favorable weather here as contrasted with short production in foreign countries, the dissatistaction of the farmer is to some extent ap- peased, but it does not prevent the candidates who are after the farm vote from pointing out what seem to them ways and means of getung even better pric In other words the debate over the method by which the exportable urplus shall be handled has not ended. Mr. Davis in his Omaha pe did not take exactly the same £round that Gov. Bryan of Nebraska did before he was a nominee for the vice presidency, but he came close enough to indicate that the inftucnce of the Bryan family, which heiped write the idea into the Democratic national platform, is still dominant on agricuitural questions, and from now on the advice received from the vice presidential nommec may be en running through the speeches of the Democratic nominee for the presidency. Mr. Davis could not very wali dis- the Democratic platform’s pro- nouncemetn for an export corpora- tion, but if he were a nst the idea at heart he need not have dwelt on the subject in his Omaha speech. He has come to the conclusion, no doubt. that the West is vitally interested in the export problem, and that he expected to say something definite as ¢ on this matter. > out for the Mec- omething ik attractive of Furniture are still included at SUM- MER DISCOUNTS, STAR, WASHINGTON D. C, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1924. REV. RAYMOND L. WOLVE Naticnol director of the Society of the Nazarene of the Epixcopal Chureh, who will preside the annual con- vention of the society to be held at Trinity Diocexan Chuich, Third and strects, September 15 to 1 before the Madison Square Gar- den cunvent“m. Critics of the Mec- Nary-Haugen'lill have been demolish- ing that proposal, but they have not always offered an alternative. The West does want an altermative. Mr. La Follette has not explained in de- tail his solution. Mr. Davis has gone further t President Coolidge, but to get up real interest on the issue he will have to give a bill of specifi- cations as to how the e t corpora- tion will actually func President Coolidge has said that he wants an inquiry begun to de- termine the best kind of an organi- zation to set up. He probably will appoint such a board before the campaign is over. Before that body will come many schemes, no doubt relie: Mr. Davis Congre began in- ing three o, hut ha taken no action. During the I session of Congress all sorts of p posals were made, but no action w {taken. Bill after bill either was| defeated or sidetracked in the legis- | lative jam. West Wants Action, The chance of arousing the West on e sons and other wesyfrn radicals to the height of their power. The sim- ple rise in farm prices may hold many votes in line now, but they will not still the ery after election for some- thing definite to market the farmer’s crop. ‘ By the time John' W. Davis gets through with the West he may dis- cover that a detailed agricultural program is desired and some pledge that it will be carried into effect. Low freight rates take in one phase of the problem of decreased costs and an export corporation looks to the establishment of a plan that will enable the domestic price of wheat to ascend in conformity with higher export prices. These questions are of sufficient importance to turn the tide in any campaign. Both the Dem- ocratic and independent nominees are scatching the surface. Before No- vember comes, they, as well as Presi- dent Coolidge, will find Western senti- ment for a concrete plan more and more in ent, especially should there be a tumble in any of the prices of the princi rm products.

In addition to the league proposals, which include partial reorganization of the league into local groups and the bringing in of non-members, the plans call for a special conference to fix reparations. which could be paid in_a suggested period of 16 vears, Britain relinquishing its share of receipts and reduction of inter- allied debts to be arranged. A treaty of mutual assistance by the European sroup, armament reduction, fixation of currencies on a new level and the removal of trade restrictions in Eu- | rope were also suggested. t The second prize plan, receiving an award of £250, suggests a disarma- ment conference, the redrafting of the treaty of mutual assistance in the light of comments by govern- ments, entry of Germany to the league with a seat on the council and the entry of Turkey and Rus- sla to the league. The second pian agrees with the first in suggesting improved treatment of minorities. Ac- ceptance and application of the Dawes report is suggested with a proposal for a conference on inter-allied debts, Great Britain to provisionally offer to remit sums owed her by allied nations.
