DEADLOCK BETWEEN
ENGLAND AND IRELAND
Some of tie Things Each Side In
sists on Having Little Hope
for Early Settlement.
VERY SMALL TRICK
THE BRITISH PROPOSAL.
Dominion status for Ireland with
complete autonomy in financial mat
ters, but without tariff or trade re
strictions between the islands.
Ireland would maintain defense
forces and police. but her terri
torial forces would be kept within
"reasonable limits."
Ireland would maintain her own
postal system, but would grant
Enpland air defense and comma
nication facilities.
Ireland would have control of her
own- educational and industrial af
fairs, but the British navy would
maintain its hold on the seas arouud
the island.
A share of the United Kingdom's
debt would be assumed by Ireland,
the exact amount to be fixed by sr-
jitration.
SENX FEIN DEMANDS
Full independence for Ireland.
Suggests a treaty of association
with the British commonwealth
group.
Treaties regarding trade and
limitation of armaments, together
with mutual agreements as to air,
railway and other communications.
Ulster problem to be left to the
Irislj themselves for solution. "Em
ployment of force was not contem
plated."
ATTITUDE OF ULSTER
The attitude of the Ulster gov
ernment was made plain by the mak-
ng public at Belfast of a letter to
Mr. Lloyd George from Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier. Sir James
expressed the loyalty of his govern-
jment to the empire and reiterated his
j readiness to confer with Mr. Lloyd
j George and the Sinn Fein as to some
I means of settling the Irish contro
versy, but declared he would not
I support the Sinn Fein in what he de
scribed was a "move to coerce the
government to repudiate the Irish
act" and "to press for wider powers."
A few days ago Chris Gobelman,
who is employed at the Hotel Wag
ner, lost a pocketbook tha.t contain
ed $31 in money as well as a num
ber of valuable papers. Mr. Gobel
man advertised for the return of the
pocketbook and offered a reward but
no response was made until today
when the pocketbook minus the coin
was found on the floor of the post-
office lobby. In the pocketbook was

by the United States railway labor
board, under which they have been
working since July 1, may be issued

The ballots for the referendum
must be sent out to the membership
before September 1, James Murdock

Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen

It will take a month to complte
the balloting and know the verdict
of the train service employes of the
nation's railways. Mr. Murdock said.
Action is Forecast.
A statement outlining the attitude
of the chief executives of the five
organizations may be issued before
the end of the week. The situation
hinges not so much on the average
12 per cent reduction already order
ed, but on rumors that the roads
would seek further wage reductions,
the elimination of time and one-half
pay for overtime and the revision of
schedules and working rules.

'interpretation.. placed upon un
amendment to the Willis-Campbell
beer bill, approved today by the
house. The amendment, adopted as a
substitute for the senate provision,
would require federals agents to have
warrants before entering homes in
search of liquor. It provides, however
that no warrant shall be issued for
search of a home "unless there is
reason to believe such dwelling is
used as a place in which liquor is
manufactured for sale, or sold."
Representative Fields, democrat.
J .Kentucky , declaring the house
amendment would virtually sanction
"home brew" provided it was not
made to be sold, attempted to have
the words "for sale" stricken out.
but his motuion was rejected, 9G to
54.
Representative Volstead, republi
can, Minnesota, author of the orig
inal prohibition act. favored the
house substituted adopted. He de
clared later it would not change the
policy of the prohibition enforce
ment bureau in reference to home
brewing. No attempt of late has been
made on orders from Washington, he
said, to prohibit the home manu
facture of potent beverages for per
sonal use.
"The section we put in the bill
provides that the law is to be enforc
ed as we intended when we passed the
prohibition act," said Mr. Volstead.
"While it expressly stipulates that no
homes are to be searched without
warrant, and then only if the liquor
made is being sold, federal officers
can get evidence in other ways as to
whether the law is being violated.
The section of the original act pro
hibiting the manufacture of liquor
with alcoholic content of more than
one-half cf 1 per cent is still in
force." Search of homes without war
rants, Volstead said, usually had
been conducted under the revenue
act which authorizes such action un
der certain circumstances.
Pleading for a tight ban on home
brew. Mr. Fields declared that "if
you say a man can rig up a distil
lery in his home, you kill the Vol
stead act."
no power on earth can hold the rail
road men of the country," President
Lee cf the trainmen said in a recent
interview.
Acting on the instructions of the
conference of general chairmen in
Chicago on July 1, the brotherhood
chiefs are holding conferences with
railway executives in each of the
four regions established by the inter
state commerce commissioner. They
are putting up to them these four
propositions:
What They Want.
That the wage reduction already
ordered be recalled and the old rates
of pay restored.
That no reduction be required or
sought.
That no effort shall be made to
take time and one-half pay away
from their members.
That for a fixed period no attempt
be made to cancel or change present
schedules or working rules.
Executives cf the eastern railways.
after a conference between their com
mittee and the brotherhood chiefs
rejected all these propositions last
Thursday.
Heads of several of the brother
hoods, who held a conference In
Washington today, are enroute to
Chicago to meet other railway union
leaders in that city for further con
ference on the labor situation, as it
concerns their members.
West Point was one of the most sue
cessful gatherings of its kind ever
held in the state and also one of the
best attended that has so far been
staged.
The grounds at West Point have
been secured as a permanent loca
tion for the gathering place of the
Militant branch of Oddfellowship,
and while not fully completed as far
as the arrangements are concerned
proved a very attractive spot for the
tented city.
At the cantonment strict military
discipline prevailed and the camp
was conducted along the lines simi
lar to the army camps with the drills
and inspections that are the chief
characteristics of the regular mili
tary establishment.
Col. J. H. Short of this city, com
mander of the First regiment was
the ranking officer of the camp and
in command up to Friday of the last
week when Hon. W. V. lloagland of
North Platte, department command
er, arrived and took over the com
mand of the camp and made his in
spection of the camp and its mem
bers. However this cantonment was not
devoid of its social features and
pleasantries and a large number of
the members of the camp had brought
with them their wives or ladies of
their families who lent a pleasing
social feature to the gathering. Col.
Short reports that a number of his
close friends made desperate attempts
to "get something on him" at the
inspections but the camp commander
was too clever and came through
without being caught with an untidy
tent or any of his equipment in bad
shape.
The attendance at the cantonment
this year numbered 300 and was
most pleasing to those who have
worked to make the event a big suc
cess in every way and the next ono
will be even larger as the members
are learning to realize what a fine
opportunity for an outing this can
tonment furnishes.
Col. Mattersccommander cf the W.
O. W. cantonment. Grand Master Nai
ler of Chadron. head of the I. O. O. F.
of Nebraska, Grand Patriarch Knight
of Falls City and Mrs. Trainor of Fre

Cut of $343,000,000 For the Coining
Year Delay in Repeal of the
Excess Profits Lew
Washington, Aug. 1G. Federal
taxes are reduced $34S. 000.000 for
1922 and $790,330,000 for 1923.
Chairman Fordney of the house ways
and means committee declared today
in formally reporting the revenue
bill to the house.
The insurgent republican move
ment in the house was strong enough
to force a delay in the repeal of the
excess profits levy and the reduction
of the surtaxes on high incomes un
til January 1, 1922.
Consideration of the tax bill will
be started in the house tomorrow and
completed Saturday afternoon.
Explaining tho principle on which
the bill is based, the representative
said:
"In framing the tax legislation
herein recommended the committee
has fought out methods of reducing
rather than shifting tax burdens. The
exacting of the present excessive
sums of taxes from the country con
tributes in no small degree to the de
pressing influences under which
business and industry in general are
staggering as a naftermath of the
world war.
"The reduction of the tax burden
is essential to business recovery and
such reduction can only be based on
a rigid enforcement of a policy of
the strictest economy in the running
expenses of the governmpnt."
