Mr. Pearson added, after refercnce to the scope of federal Tegulation: “The economic readjustrent that i3 now taking place in America and -hroushout the world 1s resulting from a bellef on the part of the kaiser and his military caste that they could win the war. ‘After - explaining readjustments, Mr, Pearson says: “The reductions in rates were made in hope and bellef that bus- iness as 2 whole was walting for them in order that it might drive ahoad upon some basis of cost, which might be re- garded as reasonably permanent for some time to come. -If this theory of reduc- tions 1s correct, the readjustments to be made July st will result 1a o matorial benefit to workers generally, as industry will revive, and start in - motion _dgain, those industries so essentiol to the com- fort, well being and economic vzistence of all.

P.) —Government ownership and operatlon of the railroads will not be an issue of | the threatened strike of 1,000,000 shop workers and others, spokesmen for ail the rail unions today told the American Federation of Labor convention, which responded to their request by withhol ing a reaffirmation of the federation’s stand in favor of the adoption of such a poike: “The rail unions have not abandoned the programme of public ownership, or grown lukewarm or indifferent,” declar- ed Willlam H. Johnston, president of the Machinisits' union, in explaining the request. “We ask no declaration, how- ever, becanse we have a most unfriendly and unsympathetic adminittration _at this time. Our enemles would say -of the strike occurs in ‘the’ very: pear fu- ture that the fight was for government ownership. I believe ths strike is ine- vitable for there is no other way -out, and we want the lssue clear cut. The issue is the ameloriation of the wrongs committed by the raiiroad.labor board.” Consideration of the strike threat in connection with. the resoultion for repeal of the transportation act provoked the only long discussion of the day's ses- sions, which. were crowded with bus- iness. More than a score of . subjects were dealt with by resolutions in most instances the dclegates voting approv- al of committee recommendaations with- out_dissent. Early in the day, the convention was marked by an oral clash between Pres- ident John L. Lewis, of the United Mine Workers and Joseph Yynch of Pe- oria, when the latter sought to force consideration of a resolution congratu- lating Alexander Howat and August Dorchy, leaders of the Kansas miners, that labor can not be completely freed| O7 their stand against the Kansas in- rom economlc laws which dustrial court. : Wect carnies of capial o ne| When Lynal accused Lewis of having sbriously sound that it will not be ques- Uoned anywhere this side of the king- fom of the bolsheviki. And yet, you men. fon_this as an occasion for offense. Your statement that the board ‘fail- ¥ to take into consideration the primci- I that even the lowest pald railway mployes. such as sectionmen and la- torers, should receive at least a living wage, is utterly baselese.” Mr. Hooper then attacked “the contin- 38l isolation and accentuation” of the minimum 23 cemt rate for common la- dor. which he declared was made “mni eading by the union men. He pointed at sectionmen will receive a rate > from 23 to 35 cents an hour, the ma. Sority considerably higher than the min- mum. as shown by the average rate of 1 cents, s compiled by the board. Wages fof other employes, also, he \dded, were “very considerably larger than in 1917 ar in 1915 Surely the leaders of the raflway la- bor organizations cannot - 2 expect to Win ® Approval of the people of the Unit- ~r|’ ;.:(unhv a rigld unylelding resist- ance to the tnce ]:-N‘lanlfl process of read- ustment w! has been In progress for e past year.” the letter stated. .

By the A. P). CTRCULAR LETTER To ALL NEW HAVEN ROAD EMPLOYES New Haven, Conn., June 20.—A eir- wlar letter which President E. J. Pear- fon has had distributed to all employes of the New York, New Haven d Hartford *=liroad, and which reviews at some wngth conditions on the systems as af- fected by ruling of the - United States ;Hrnld labor board, was made public to- ¥ Mr. Pearson at the outset says: “Cur- Tent newspapers reports indicate that wirike ballots are being distributed, ns * result of the revised working conditions and reduction in wages, recently nward- #d by the United States rallroad labor poard, covering - employes—engaged i double-crossed Howat and caused ' his imprisonment, the miners' chief: retorted the gentieman s a liar,” which brought the rejoinder “So are you,” from Lynal. The trouble ended with the convention refusing to act on the resolution, and its reference to the miners' union for consideration. In addition to is bigx programme of work, he convention was marked by the beginning of a movement to run Mr. Lewis as a candidate for president of the federation in opposition to the though Mr. Lewis declared he was ‘in no sense” a candidate, efforts were pushed in his behalf during the day, and tonight a meeting of officers of the rail unions was held to consider what progress had been made by them. Some of the leaders in the building and print- ing trades participated in tonight’s meet- ing. Observanoe of Lincoln's birthghy as a holiday throughout the world was favor- ed by the convention. It also voted its approval of the. government's accept- ance of Henry Ford's offer to' lease the Muscle Shoals water power profect, de- clared in favor of a Saturday half hol- iday for all government workers, and asked Governor Stephens, of California, to grant unconditional pardons to Tom Mooney and Warren K. Billings, The sentences imposed on Mooney and Bill- ings for their alleged participation, in bomb explosions a few years ago were declared by the resolution to have re- sulthd from perjured testimony. Resolutions aimed at the Ku Klux Kian, the state militia and constabulary and ‘private detective agencies, whose operatives were sald to act as strike- breakers, were adopted unanimously without discussion. In taking action on the Ku Klux Klan, the convention side- stepped a resolution terming. the. organi. zation “detrimental to' best interests of te working people” and adopted in its stead a_committee report that did not specifically mention the Klan.

P.)—The resuits of the elections dré still incom- plete and final figures in some of the important constituencies will' not be an- nounced until Wednesday = afternoon. There has been some hitch at Waterford, which with Tipperary East forms a con- stituency of five seats, and two oificials of the provisional government have gone there to straighten the matter, out. The De Valera members whoss seats in the Dail are endangered include Cathal Brugha (Charles Burgess), former min- istre of defense, and Seamus Rovinson, one of .the leaders of the dissentiant sec- tion of the army. Unusual precautions have been taken against any interference in the counting, and a strong body, pre- sumably a regular section of the Irish ;e‘rfixbllcan army is guarding the town The nature of the hitch is not definitely known, but it is exrzcted to cause a post- ponement of the declaration of the re- sult for possibly 24 hours. It is known thlls't a pro-treaty candidate headed the poll. There is one huge constituency in Cork county returning eight members, = with three new comers contesing ths seats of the four treaty and four antl-treaty members, the ‘former including Michael collins, and the ‘latter the well known novelist_and poet, Daniel Corkery. The successes of the independents have affected both the treaty .and anti-treaty panelists, but the anti-treaty candidates far more severely than the others. The republicans had counted on dropping fif- teen seats of their existing strength, and thus far, with twenty-eight seats still un- announced, they have dropped _eleven. According to estimates they may drop at least eight more. The new candidates were, except in two or three instances, men little known to the public, but the electors took every advantage of pro- nouncing on the treaty afforded by any contest.

The famous Italian said he believed this invention could be utilized in such a manner as to rid the sea of soma of its terrors, for with & revolving refiec-. tor, the- transmitter would comstituts ai radlo lighthouse, capable of flushing guiding beams nearly a hundred miles. Addressing a jint meeting of the In- {5tituts of Kadio kinginecrs and the Amer- ican Institute of Electrical Engineers on his latest discoveries, the inventor sud‘ of the proposed radio lighthouse: “By means of the revolving beam of clectrical radiation, it is possible for’ ships, when within a certain distance, to ascertain in thick weather, ing and position of the lighthouse, “It seems to me that it should be possible to design apparatus by means. of which a ship could radiate or project a divergent beam of the short wave rays, the bear- in any desired direction, which rays, it coming across a static object, such as unother steamer, would be reflected back to a receiver on the. sending ship and thereby immediately reveal the presence: and bearing of the other ship i fog or thick weather. One further greater ad- vantage of such an arrangement would be that it would be able to give warni of the presence and bearing of ships, wita any kind of radio.” Marconi's radio searchlight bears lit- tle resemblance to the battleship search- light. 1t is rather a special arrangement of wires on towers or masts. Marconi stated that the reflectors make It possible for the receiver to re- produce a radio telephone song or speech about two hundred times louder than is ordinarily possible.
