PEARSON WAV BE GVING WARNING | Statement to Shopmen May Be Signiticant New Haven, Aug. 3.—Pres. Edward J. Pearson, president of the New Hav. en road, yesterday, over his personal signature {ssued an important state. ment as to the attitude of the com- pany on various phases of the shop- men's strike. He states that the posi- tion of the rallroad executives as stated yesterday in the communica- tion to President Harding must be an adsurance to the public and to the new employes of the road. Undoubtedly of considerable im- port is the riteration of President Pearson that the present strike ia not a contest between the New Haven road and the ghopment but the shop- men and the United States Labor board. The reiteration is taken by sorthe to be an opening fot the men on strike to' deal directly with the company as regards the conditions of returning to work. Text of Peapson's Statemont. The text of Mr. Pegrson's state- ment follows: “Whiie the position of the New » Haven road in respect 'to the rights of new employes who have entered the service ‘has been clearly stated and while the rights of the new men rvice have become authoritative- I¥ establiplied as a result of the trans- ‘portation act and orders and state- ments:of the labor board, nevertheless the upanimous action of the railway executives in their meeting at New " York yesterday must be a matter of further assurance to not only em- pioyes who are interested, but also to the publie. ““A very large number of expres- |, .slons from commercial organizations, .{ndustria! organizations and a multi- tude of individuals clearly shows the posttion of the New England public with respect.to these issues and what constitutes a fair deal. The manage- ment of the New Haven road en- deavored prior to the strike, through {ssuance of letters and information to each individual, and through personal conferences and statements by the ofticers; to inform the men who are now on strtke of not only the mat- ters in controversy, but as to the ex- pected attitude of the public, and as to the difficulty they would have in reathing a successful issue by strik- ing, aleo that‘seniority and pension rights wotld be broken, and that new employes who were competent and rendered -satisfactory service would be kept on the jobs, ‘The present strike. of ‘the shop- i men, the basis of which lies in their ' oppouiiion to action by the Labor Board, can not be constructed as a contest between the New Haven rail- road and its employes, or with or- ganized labor. The New Haven rail- road will carefully adhere to the or- ders of the Labor Board, and will exert every reasonable endeavor to not only compose all controversies s which arise with its employes, but * further in pursuance with the Trans- ‘portation Act, to maintain service for the public.” ¥ BRIDGE IS DEDICATED Structure Over Connecticut River At Springficld Completed Springfield, Mass, Aug. 3.—Formal dedication of the Hampden county memorial bridge spanning the Conn- ecticut river here took place this af- ternoon when Governor Channing » Cox delivered the dedicatory address in which he praised the erection of !, the bridge as evidencing rare public spirit and pledged the co-operation of ! the commonwealth in projected fur- ther development of the rivér front.

BERLIN COLLEGE GREETS AMERICAN Columbia University Head Gives Lecture to Students Berlin, Aug. 3.—Bouth Americans are “past masters fn the art of poli- tics,' declared Professor Willlam R, Bhepherd, of Columbia University, New York, in a receént lecture at the University of Berlin Dr. 8hepherd urged greater appreciation of the importance of Latin-American nations in the counsels of world powers, dis- cuseing the subject “The Republica of Spanish and Pertuguese America and Their International Relatlo: The lecture was the fir formal event of its kind since 1914, It was attended by a distinguished company of some 400 persons, including the American and Japanese ambassadors; representatives of the South American diplomatic and consular offices; members of the government, and a number of noted professors of the university. The latter comprised an imposing 1ist of famous educators who havé appeared in American uni- versity lecture rooms, such ass Pro- tessors Friedlander, Bonn, Brandl, Penck, Vogel, Spranger, Sternfeld, Brinkmann, Sering, Hegmann and Koebener. Hearty Welcome. Professor Shepherd was given a hearty reception when introduced by Dr. Walter Nernst, Rector Magnificus of the ‘university. Dr. Shepherd roughly outlined the historical devel- opment of the Latin-American na- tions from the close of the 18th cen- tury when there existed ‘the greatest colonial empire ever struck off by the hand of man, the Empire of Spain."” Decades upon decades, he said, the countries to the south of the United Statés have been neglected by Euro- pan immigration and European cap- ital, two factors which he deemed fundamentally vital to the progress of New World lands. These two elements have been re- quired by the United States to bring it to its present flourishing condition, Dr. Shepherd said, adding that when they had been obtainéd by the na- tions to the south the future of those lands would be assured. The speaker urged greater consid- eration for the status of the Latin- American states in world politics. He expressed the belief that “the quan- titative method of determining actual worth is just as unfair when applied to nations as to individuals.” Professor Shepherd delivered a sec- ond lecture the same day before the English Seminar, speaking on the connéction of Europe with modérn civilization. During a week's visit in Berlin he was the guest of honor at a number of social functions, ATTACKING LIONS GOV, LAKE INVITES PUBLIC TO NIANTIC Wants People to Se¢ Camp for Disabled Veterans Hartford, Aug. 3.—~On behalf of the trustees and directors of Camp Forbés, Governor Lake today extend- ed a general and cordial invitation te the people of Connecticut to visit the state military reservation, during the period August 5 to Sep- | terabér 2 And see In operation the | resf and recréation camp for disahled | ex-service men of the Hartford dis- trict, ‘The camp s being established and will be maintained from a fund sécured In Hartford by public sub- acription.

Two native drivers were recently conducting a wagon drawn by 16 oxen to the railroad camp, in the wilds near Nakuru, the site of the new Uasin Gishu railroad, when the spans were attacked by three lions. The drivers fled to nearby trées. The oxen became panic stricken and dashed down the rough road, dragging along the body of one ox, killed by the lions with the swaying wagon behind them. The lions followed theéir prey. Lions Are Scared. This was the mad procession that greeted a lone motorist at a curve of the road. He had no rifle, and it was ores e o Bartlett Burritt .. Smalley .
