Hooper, chairman of the United States railroad labor board, said In a statement tonight re viewing the problems before the board Neither rates nor wages are permanent, he said, because the conditions on which ‘hey are based are not permanent He expressed the belfef that the rafl- roads of the country will voluntarily discontinde contracting out work in a short time regardiess of thelr opinions 15 to its legality, and said that this will §0 & long way toward restoration of cor- dial relations between the carriers and their employes. His statement follows: “Amid all the mutterings of discontent and rumors of war on the railroads, the note of the peace bird is still quite aud- ible to me. “It is_claimed as one of the inalien- ble rights of the citizen in this coun- try to cuss any court, board or tribunal for its judgments and decisions. Board vested with jurisdiction of labor dis- putes are always in line of fire. “A few weeks ago. a leading rallway priodical asserted that the ‘ratlroud la- bor board was completely dominated by the wishes of the labor ccganizations. “Within the last few days the public has been informe dthat the board is blind and deaf to everything except the desires of the railroads A discriminat- ing public will find the truth at g voint about half way between these two rxtremes. “Tiis whole raflroad question would be easy if it were not 30 human. It is surrounded by a general mixup of folks wanting many different things. “The raliroad owners want good profits. The employes want high wages The public demands reasonable rates ind efficlent service. The railroad man- igaments really desire everyone of these :hings and their problems therefore is 1 most difficult ome. Difficult as may wem the simultaneous accomplishment o all these conflicting results, the end ¥ill be attained if everybody will just teep cussin’. “In_othér words, out of all this agita- Bon, the American people will finally our great transportation system, {he rights of the employes and the interests of the public; and then this knowledge will be followed by correct action. “The present - situation is hopeful. There is no occasion for impatience up- on the part of anybody. Neither rates nor wages are permanent because the conditions upon which they are based are not permanent. “It is my prediction that long before fall many of the wrinkles will bé ironca out of the railroad labor situation. There is reason to believe that the railroads will remove one impediment to good feeling on the part of their employes by discontinuing the contract _system, Te- gardless of their convictions as to its legality. This will go a long way to- ward the restoration of cordial relations. Only yesterday the board received a communication from the Southern Pa- cific giving notice that the labor con- tracts complained of by its employes had been done away with, and that the road had no intention of again resorting to the contracting of its labor. There are reason to believe that this example will be speedily followed by other rail- roads. It is the unanimous judgment of the labor board that it should be. If the men are expected to respect the deci- sions of the board, the managements must do the sam thing. A fair-minded public will not stand for anything else.” IMPEESSIVE TRIBUTE TO MEMORY OF LILLL RUSSELL ! . { New York, June 18—Stage stars and | men and women prominent in public life | Joined today in paying- an impressive tribute to the memory of Mrs. Lillian Russeil Moore, who died at her home in ( Pittsburgh recently.

Move- -ment Last Week. New: York, June 18 (By the A. P.).— Industrial and financial conditions in the last peck presented a generally favorable asplet, notwithstanding the reactionary tendency in. the-securities market.. which apparently was connected with the tech- nical speculative position. Steel production exceeded the best rate previous'y attained this year. More coke plants were started and more blast fur- naces ‘blown, in. Coal ‘production was greater, and some obsemers believe that plans were in preparation for reopening union mines in the Pittsburgh district. Detroit employment figures showed an- other ncrease, thus confirming statements of automobile manufacturers as to the continuance of satisfactory business. Railroad car loading figures continued good. ’ Gain in the absolute amount of cotton consumed by mills during’ May -as com- pared with April was not accounted for merely by the greater number of working days in the later month. May’s takings cocresponded almost exactly to the aver- age for the last ten months. which in turn were 23 per cent. greater than those in the corresponding perlod a vear ago. If the present rate of consumbtion is con- tinued during June and July, the total for the corresponding year will amount to nearly 6,000,000 bales. The week which brought unusuaily large ' financlal _transactions by the treasury passed without creating any dis. turbances in the money markef. These transactions, which centered ou' June 15, included the collection of $300,000,000 in income taxes, the payment of $125,000; 000 in interest on Liberty bondg the pay- ing ox of $380,000,000 in maturing cer- tificates of indebtedness, the redemption of $250.000,000 in Victory notes and the flotation of $250,000.000 in new certifi- cates. The rates on call money, the most { sensitive index ‘of the market’s condition, ruled at close to 3 per cent. thcoughout the week and at 2 3-¢ per cent. touched what was virtually a new low since Octo- Der, 1917. Grain prices showed further weakness. The reactions coincided with --those in securities, and in some quarters were considered to have occurred in sympathy with the la®ter, or to be due to the same underlying causes. \ COUNTING OF VOTES IN IRISH ELECTION TO BEGIN TODAY Dublin, June 18 (By the A. P.)—The counting of the votes in the recent elec- tion in Dublin begins ‘tomorrow morn- ing. It is thousht possibly the results may be announced by midnight. The Cork figures have been eagerly scanned here, but -have ' not * serlously modified the expert forecasts of the final compo- sition of the Dail Eireann. _ The ‘return of Robeft Day ‘was Tooked for, as he was recognized as the leader of thesextreme labor section and ! command when ‘the port was Selzed Some months ago and the adherents of the red flag took over the shipping authority for two davs. < The defeat of thé. two. other new candidates at Cork is taken to in- dicate approximately the solidarity. of the panel vote, an impression confirmed by: the Monaghan results, which is the only other constitdency yet -announced. But it is evident that whatever de- parture from the straight ticket occu: red has been in favor of the treaty side, and. the defeat of Lord Mayor ‘O'Call ghan is attributed to his refusal to rec- ognize the provisional government, even in relation to-the expenditure of money for rebuilding Cork. Already the accusation is made from the ' republican_side that the supporters of “the treaty ‘have violated the Collins- De Valera pact, and- Mr. Collins himself is attacked not only for his speech at {Corks last Wednesday, but for his re- fusal to endorse a joint daily propaganda |in the interest of the panel candidates. The republican = &unday -newspaper, | The Plain People, says: -“Quite clearly Collins’ pledged word can in the future, be regarded as no more trustworthy than his Tepublican oath.” The army situation 1s considered criti- cal, and much importance is attached.to the volunteer convention held privately at the Mansion Hause today, and large- Iy attended. It is reported that the re- publican objections to the mew constitu- tion were ventilaed. L Mr. De Valera, it 15 announced, is to make a statement on the ‘whole situa- tion tomorrow, IRISH LABORITES CAREIED RED FLAG IN PROCESSION Cork,” June 15.—The laborites, enthu- siastic over-the showing that labor made at the polls in the parliamentary elec- tions, held a’procession ‘at mignight on Saturday. A band headed the proces- sion, in which the Ted flag was carried, and there was much revolver firing. No- body was injured. The labor vote came as a great sur- prise to the populace. The entire vote was considered as an expression of pro- test against what has been termed in Cork the “dilly-dallying” of the Dail Eireann for the past six months. FOBMER RUSSIAN PALACE Petrograd.

Republican senators _meet morning in another conference virtually in accord with the compromise agreement to Told the taciff bill before the senate with a_positive declaration for-right of way atterward fot the bonus measure and its passage before conlgress adjourns. Party leaders of ail .sctions declared that the plan agreed upon probably would be adopted at tomorrow's confer- ence, and with Jittle opposition. The conference action, however, was not to settle the question, a few republi- cans not in agreement. on the plan and demccratic advocates of the bonus prom- ising to bring the matter of procedure before the senate for another sharp fight. The effort was said to be to pace the senate on record for or against further delay on the- bonus legisiation. - Whether this effort would come tomorrow was in doubt, the naval appropriation bill, which it had been hoped to pass yester- day, béing still before the senate. Among senators said to be planning motlons in the senate to lay aside the tariff measure and proceed with the bonus were Lafollette, Tepublican, Wisconsin; Johnson, sepublican, California; Ashurst, democrat, Arizona, and Walsh, democrat, Massachusetts. - Some of the republican membereitip, it was said, probably would not “attend tomorrow's party conference. T¢ was agreed in ail quarters. that the conference action would not be binding but probably would be followed by a suf- ficient majority of republicans to block any attempt 1o substitute the bonus for the tariff bill. That continuation of senate debate on the tarift bill might onerate to expedite both the tariff and bonus measures was the opinion expressed by influential re- pubilcan leaders. With many _of. the party anxious to'put through the bonus measure, together with a similar group among the' democrats, it was believed that debate on the tariff might be short- ’Tfig’;figub“cnn program of halding the ariff “biil. before the senate was prom- “vigorous attack this week from the [ democratic side as well as from the group of irepublicans not in agreement with the proposed compromise nlan of the major lenges that (ié delay comes from sources outwar2iy favoring but actually opposing passage of the bonus bill.

Port Jervis, N, Y, June 18.—Cloud- bursts ' laté last night and early today overflowed three largs \ reservoirs, pre- cipitated heavy floodstreams that swept through the entire valley and left Port Jeryis and its environs inundated in from twao to six feet of water.

Early this morning with the coming of the second dbwnpour, streams began to flow through Port Jer- Vis streets and the waters of the Dela- ware and Neversink rivers rose quickl and entered the homes on its banks. Then many of the citizens were aroused At the height of the flood a mad, swirl- ing stream fifteen feet deep, ran through Kingston avenue, the main residential thoroughfare.
