In accord with the expressed di

V The duties formerly agreed upon
'Hhy the conferees were 7 cents a
pound and 50 per cent on intermedi
'j'a'e and 7 cents a pound and o0
Ti-ent on .the finished products, with
fit he ad valocm based on foreign valu

4?ase, while the house duties were 7
nnnnit and JO ner cent in
one case and 7 cents a pound
tier rent in the otlier. i n-
y iUr both house and senate mils tne
nd valorcms were on American val-
, nation. ,
The conferees were in session for
more than three hours with the dye
' di-t'cs as the stumbling block. It was
t-nderstood that Representative I.ong
orth. Ohio, urged high rates, while
Vnator Smoot. Utah, opposed in-i-
cases. It was explained that in
. nrlilnff the comnromisc the con-
'rccs returned to the Americanvalu
', ; ion principle, because the duties in
I oth house and senate bills were on
that basis.
' " Garner at Session,
Representative Garner. Texas, the
.Icmocratic leader in the tariff fight,
on whose motion the house yesterday
sent the bill hack to conference for
further amendment, was invited in
jir.t before the conferees concluded
their session. It was said afterwards
that it was the understanding- that
the democrats would not undertake
to delay unnecessarily final action by
the house. . ,
It is the plan of majority leaders
to call the conference report u? in the
house tomorrow. It may be that a
point of order will be made against
live action of the conferees in chang
ing the dye rates, but should that not
prevail, the v'.an was to have not more
than an hour's debate. Leaders de
cinred there was no question about
the adoption of the conference report,
which would pave the way for senate
action. ...
When the senate was advised otti
liallv toilav of the, action yesterday ot
the house Vt sending the bili back to

Audiences Held
Attentive During
Howell Speeches
Republican Candidate for
United States Senator
Pledges Aid to Farm
Bloc if Elected.
Scottsbluff, Neb., Sept. 14. (Spe
cial Telegram.) R. U, Howell, re
publican candidate for United .States
senator, held audiences at a number
c.f towns in this vicinity attentive to
day while he discussed farm needs
and problems.
Mr. Howell pledged his aid to the
farm bloc in event of his election
and described it as a group of men
who, with aid, could obtain more
consideration for the agricultural in
terest of the great middle west. In
answer to attacks made upon the
bloc Mr. Howell said. "For years we
have had the southern bloc, the rail
road bloc, the manufacturers' bloc
and the Wall street bloc, which, with
their strength, insured safety for the
interests they represented.
"Why not an agricultural bloc to
guarantee interests of your constitu
ents?" Continuing, Mr. Howell launched
into a defense of the direct primaries
and declared it was through the
primaries the people of the west were
able o nominate candidates pledged
to the agricultural blflp.
"Today, under the primary, the
people stand right next to their
candidates," he said. "In the old
days between the people and the
candidates stood the conventions and
the bosses. I tell you it was miRhty
difficult in those days for the ma
jority to get next to their candidates."
Mr. Howell humorously described
one of his early fights in Omaha to
get the republican nominr'ion for
the state senate in order i i initiate
In? ultimately successful plan of ac
( ring the water plant for the city,
cutting the price of water to the
smaller residents.
At Bridgeport, the high school
was dismissed and students mingled
with the crowd. There were farmers
vr.it inn at Bridgeport from points 30
miles distant to hear Mr. Howell.
At Bayard Mr. and Mrs. Howell
were entertained at dinner by Max
Wilcox, editor, and former Omaha
newspaper man. i
Beatrice Firemen Injured

Telegram.) Conrad Moeller and
Dale Hess, two salaried members ot
the fire department here, were hurt
when their car went into the ditch
and turned over seven miles south of
Wymorc on the t'oruhusker highway.
Mueller suffered a broken arm and
severe laceration about the bodv and
Hess was cut and bruised about the
head. The car was badly smashed.
It is said that the light on an ap
proaching car blinded Mueller, caus

in Rail Suit
Attorneys Speed Up Reading
of Affidavits in Effort
" - to Complete Case
liy Saturday.
Chicago, Sept. 14. (By A. P.)
The government today speeded up its
case against the striking rail crafts
in an effort to complete the evidence
in support of Attorney General
Daugherty'i injunction bill by Satur
day noon.
W'hile two assistant attorneys gen
eral and Blackburn Kstcrline, assist
ant to the" solicitor general, worked
in relays reading additional affidavits
of violence during tins progress of the
strike, the defense announced it
would seek to show the railroad ex
ecutives were in a conspiracy to force
a strike in an effort to wreck the
unions.
"We w'ill show they first sought to
bring on a strike and thru did every
ting in their power to prevent peace,"
dcflu,sc attorneys said.
Evidence which the unions could
not produce because it might hurt
their peace neg itations with -Daniel
Willard and other rail presidents
cannot be brought forward, it was
said.
If the government completes its
case by Saturday noon, four days
will be left for the defense and for
final arguments, before the expira
tion of the present restraining order
next Thursday night.
Permission was unofficially given
the tinions today to stage tag days
in Chicago and other cities to raise
funds for the relief of families of
strikers. .Incite H. Wilkerson said
he knew of nothing in the restrain
ing order which would prevent tag
fund campaigns and the government's
attorneys assured the defense at
torneys, they had the government's
permission to go ahead.
Approximately 200 more affidavits
from nonunion men and others who
have been assaulted and intimidated
during the strike were placed in the
record today.

Agreement Entered
Into at Chicago.
Officials of the Northwestern and
Milwaukee railroad! said yesterday
most of the shopmen on strike who
were formerly employed on these
two roads will be taken back is the
result of the agreement on many
railroads in Chicago, Wednesday.
"We expect to take the men back
about Monday," said Eugene Duval,
general agent of the freight depart
ment of the Milwaukee.
H. E. Dickinson, general super
intendent of the Northwestern lines
west, also estimated that most of
the men out on strike in Omaha and
Council Bluffs can be taken back.
The situation on the Union Pa
cific system, which was not aparty
to the Chicago agreement, is still un
certain. The Union Pacific has a new or
ganization of shopcraft employes
and has come to a new-wage scale
agreement and therefore has taken
no interest in the settlement, accord
ing to officials.

Conference Report Adopted
Without Record Vote
and Measure Is Sent
to Senate. 'J
Washington, Sept. 14. Without a
record vote the house approved to
day the conference report on the sol
diers' bonus bill. The measure now
goes to the senate and with final
action there it will be sent to Presi
dent Harding.
Representative Mondcll of Wyo
ming, the republican leader, sought
to have the bill recommitted, making
a principal of order that the con
ferees had exceeded their authority in
striking out a provision that in one
form or another had been approved
by the house and senate.
Speaker Gillette overruled the point
of order after an hour' debate. Mr.
Mondcll told the house that it was
with reluctance that he made the
point, but added that he did not be
lieve that recommitting of the bill
would appreciably delay final action
by congress.
There was only brief discussion in
the house and only an indirect ref
erence to the vfews of Mr. Harding
on the bill,' Representative Mondcll,
of Wyoming, the majority leader,
expressing the hope that it would be
come law.
Chairman Fordney of the ways
and means committee and Mr. Mon
dcll made the principal addresses in
support of the bonus and there was
no talk in opposition. Mr. Mondcll
said that while the bill did not meet
the full expectations of the World
war veterans, it represented the
best possible compensation "under
all circumstances, and in view of the
wide difference of opinion about it,"
lite majority leader sought to send
the measure hack to conference for
reinsertion of the land settlement
provision, hut his point of order that
the conferees had exceeded their

Situation Cause Concern.
London. Sept. J4. (By A. P.) -The
eastern sttuatirm is causing con
siderable concern here. This is re
flected in the editorial column of
tlie morning newspapers, some of
which adopt a distinctly alarmist
tone.
A grave crisi confront the pow
er, says one, while others declare
the "situation is driving to the dan
ger point," that "all power must
act at once, and in agreement; if
they fail to agree, nothing but a
nfiraclc can avert disaster."
The one sentiment which domi
nates all is fear lest France, although
agreeing to maintenance of the neu
trality of Constantinople in the
straits of Dardanelles, may interpret
the legitimate aspirations" of the
Turks in such a manner as to pre
vent the co-operation of Great
Britain.
Declaration of the French view is
expected hourly, and awaited with
the greatest eagerness.
Each day brings fresh reports of
the intense feeling aroused in the
Mohammedan countries by the
Turkish victory in Anatolia, with in
dications of determination to support
the Turkish claims with whatever
means lie at their disposal. Reporti
from British India, especially repre
sent the Moslems there as greatly
