I NEW ATTACK OPENS ON RAIL LABOR BILL Foes Will Seek Vote to Re- commit—Dispute Over Coolidge’s Stand. By the Associated Preas A new line of attack against the railroad labor bill developed yester- duy in the form of a motion to re- commit the measure to the Senate interstate commerce committee. The full force of the ovposition will be thrown hehind the motion this week and early adjournment of the Senate for the week end was taken to permit leaders to line up their forces. Adjonrnment followed closely upon the statement during debate by Sen- ator Watson, Republican, Indiana, sponsor of the bill, that President solidge favored it. This was ¢ - lenged by Senator Curts, the Repub- lican leader, who is opposed to the bill unless it is amended. Asks for His Evidence. “Hus the Senator any evidence to submit_that the President sponsors this bill?" he Inquired “Oh, the Senator enough,” replied a “1 do not know it/ | Curtis, Immediately | whispered conferences | with the result that an agreement was reached to defer further con- sideration of the bill until tomorrow The bill was the target of violent attack yesterday at the hunds of Nen: | ators Curtix and King of Utah,and eed.

Refuses to Be Questioned. The Indiana Senator refused to be questioned by Senator King. declar- ing he had no intention of being put on the witness stand and cross-ex .amined by another Senator. “If the Senator wants to make a speech, let him make it, and 1 will | answer if I want to,” he said, heat | edly. knows it well o Watson retorted M. this colloquy were held, after Senate interstate 926—PART 1.

VARE IN RACE (ontinued from First Page.) “lacking in mental and moral force.” The league statement declares also that “in order to win, there should be but one dry candidate.” Then it glves this advice to the voters; “to save the acute situation it becomes the plain duty of all friends of good government 1o concentrate their votc on that one of the two satisfactory candidates who has the best chance to defeat Mr. \zre. equipment TLeague Unable to Choose. 1t is a plain matter of fact that the Anti-Saloon League was unahle to declare for one of the candidates jand against the other. They both {have friends, and strong friends, in the organization. So the league has passed the buck to the voters. hoping that they will be able to decide for themselves which candidate has the best chance to defeat Vare, and will act accordingly and with unanimity. | The action I almost on a par with ithe abandon and impartiality of the House committee on agriculture when it reported three separate and dis- tnet farm relief bills to the House with recommendations that they all pass. The AntiSaloon lLeague, how ever, apparently Is going to stand pat and make no further recommendation one way or another—unless there should be some very unusual and un expected development in the next week. Some of the men high in the coun cls of the Anti-Saloon League ha reached the conclusion that has u better chance of heating Vare than has Pinchot. 1t is a fact, too, that they feel a certain resentment against Pinchot for getting into the race, and, of course, for not withdra w- ing. Bul they are not saving this for publication. “The drys also are unwilling to ud mit that if Vare wins the nomination the victory has heen finally ob! by the weis. Gov.

If the governor does receive that many votes, it will go hard with Senator Pepper. An estimate made here by a Pepper- Fisher leader is that Senator Pepper will go down to Philadelphia with at least 150,000 over Vare, and that his! plurality may be higher. Again the Pinchot vote bobx up ax the uncertain quantity. But it is insisted that Sena tor Pepper has made great gains in his recent swing through 30 of the western counties and that Pinchot has lost ground correspondingly.

By the Associated Press LONDON, May 8.—The kev to in. gustrial peace in Great Britain lies in 2 complete’ overhauling of the coal mining industry, Noah Ablett one of the chief executives of the British mine workers said today. Unless the mine owners are asking for such trouble as inevitably will lead to civil war, he declared, there must be some settiement of the situation in the mines. The miners are prepared for peace, he said, and_are anxious to meet the colliery owners and the government, but they are unwilling to discuss or ton in wages or an Increase in work- ing hours. The mine industry also must be handled on a national basis. “These three points constitute the cardinal program of the miners' move- went,” said Mr. Ablett. “They have heen accepted by the whole Trades Union Congress as a fighting plat- form. We will meet the other side any time to consider reorganization of the industry, for after all, this ques- tion holds the key to peace. There can be no truce and no patched-up settlement unless the problem s tackled seriously. “The miners do not want to talk about victors and vanquished or.to dictate terms, but at the same time they are keenly anxious to get the government to impose compulsory powers for reorganization purposes. ta | teacher | By the Assoriated Press Story Always Included in Reper- toire of Yellowrobe, Teacher in Indian School.

PARIS. May 8.—The wine growers of France are engaging in modern advertising campalgns to secure the prestige of their vintages through po- etry and poster contests. The modern vintners seem to have lost faith in | the old adage, “Good wine needs no bush,” a saying that may have origl- nated in France, where a bush hung over the doorway is often the only sign the village retaller uses. Rheims, the home of champagne wine, offered a prize for the best song in praise of its unique product. ‘Then the leading vineyard owners of Cen- tral France combined to institute a prize of 10,000 francs for the best work praising the soil that yvields such a precious crop. Now the Fine Arts Association of Bezlers is organizing a competition for posters in a campaign for th “propagation of the blood of the vine. Beziers is down in the southeast ca ner of France. ! A prize of 10,000 francs is offered | for the winning poster, and several | “in kind” prizes, ranging from b rels to single bottles of wine, will be given for posters propagating the truth about wine, showing its feod. hyglenic and curative value and how | it is a means to “combat tuberculosis, | alcoholism, lunacy, typhold and other diseases,” ‘and above all, to enlighten | the public regarding the error of | charging up to wine the {ll effects of alcohol.

CHICAGO, May 8 —The eight hours of sleep which the human being allots himself nightly is a series of 11-minute cat naps, psychologists were told today by Prof. H. M. John- son of the Mellon Institute. Pitts- burgh. He presented the findings of experiments made with sleeping per- sons whose rest was recorded by ap- paratus attached to # hanging bed on which the subjects slumbered. The average rest period of the sub. jects was 11% minutes. After that length of time the sleeper fidgeted. rolled over, changed his position, and relaxed agiin for 111 minutes more, An intoxicated man put to bed on the experimental divan tossed about so vigorausly that he fractured the re- cording device, but after four hours he grew quiter and slept with veasonable normality.

Last Fall the Republican leaders were out in the State working for Pepper for the senatorial nomination and Beidleman for the gubernatorial nomination. So effectively work that in some localities today many votes will be cast by the same man for these two candidates. Whep the drys and Secretary Mel- lon called a halt on the Beidleman nomination, there followed consider- ! able disruption, and men who favored | Pepper but who favored Beidleman more are today working for Beidle- man and some of them also for Vare against Pepper. Pepper Aided By Mellon. Two things are standing Senator Pepper in good stexd, to return to the senatorial fight. One is the hatved of Vare domination, partjcularly {in the western part of the State. " other is the popularity of Secretary Mellon and his chief, President Cool- idge. In this primary race at least, it may be said that the administratfon is behind one of the candidates through the Secretary of the Treas- ury and it is to have its effect. It is estimated that 1,100,000 votes will_be cast in the Republican maries, May 18. More than half, probably 650,000, will be cast in Phila delphia and in Allegheny County, which includes Pittsburgh.
