Hearing to Decide
Jurisdiction of the
Rail Labor Board
Dispute Over Powers in Nor
folk & Western Wage Case
To Be Threshed Out
In Washington.
Cblcat Tribune-Omaha Be Lmm4 Wire.
Chicago, Jan. 2. Whether the
United States railway labor wage
board has power to take jurisdic
tion of a dispute between a railway
management and its employes with
out consent of both parties, will be
threshed out at a hearuig here Mon-"
day. '
The board has summoned the par
ties in a controversy between the
Norfolk & Western railroad to
appear before it and submit the
facts in questions at issue for a de
cision by the board.
W. C Turner, vice-pres'dent of
the Order of Railway Conductors,
and Van Fitzpatrick. president of
the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, who are here in response to
the board's -summons, declare they
will not recognize the authority of
the board to interfere in the Nor
folk & Western case.
The Norfolk & Western dispute
began nearly a year ago, when th?
men demanded that a contract made
in 1917 be modified to increase the
pay of men on nine service runs,
and change working conditions so
that there would be a general in
crease in wages.
The demands of the men were re
fused by the management The board
notified both the railway manage
ment and the railway employes that
it had taken jurisdiction,
The union officials questioned the
authority of the board, bik bowed
to the -order to appear before it in
Chicago.
The board has intimated that if
the union leaders persist in refusing
to recognize its authority-they will
be enjoined from ordering a strike
until the question of the powersof
the board has been passed on by the
United States supreme court

Temporary Suspension
Of Immigration Urged
Washington, Jan. 3. A temporary
suspension of immigration pending a
full investifftion "with a view to
passing some permanent legislation,"
is the "reak issue" before congress,
Chairman Colt of the senate immi-
t gration committee declared today at
the opening of hearings on the John
son bill restricting immigration for
one year.
Representative Johnson of Wash
ington, author of the house measure,
was the first witness.
"I am told the situation immedi
ately confronting us," he said, "is
such that aliens are coming over in
drqves. They are gathering at Eu-
( ropean ports in the largest numbers
yet reported. They represent a
highly undesirable class." i
Mr. Johnson dealt largely witH
the increasing unemployment in this
- country.
Overseer of Zion City
Denounces Bachelors
Zion City, 111., Jan. 3. A cam
paign for more acreages was lunch
ed by Wilbur Glenn. Voliva, gener
al overseer of Zion, who also de
nounced "selfishness of bachelors
in dodging responsibilities of matri
mony. Volvia declared he had prepared
lists of every eligible man and wom
an among the 5,000 members of Zion
City and that these will be compell
ed to attend "social gatherings" once
a month, over which he would pre
side in the role of matchmaker.
"There will have to be more mar
riages in Zion, or I will know the
reason why," he announced.
U. S. Steel Employes Can

New York, Jan. 3. The United

year, when between 50,000 and 60,
000 shares were available. The
amount which may be bought this
year was not announced.
Steel opened on the stock ex
change this morning at 81?.
T.ioStiner Fixtures Granden Elec
Washington, Jan. 3. Senator
Penrose appeared in the senate to
day, after an absence of 13 months,
greatly improved after an illnejs
which has reduced his physical bulk
but has not impaired his mental
adertness or dimmed his vision on
national affairs.
In returning to the senate, where
for many years Uuring republican
control he dominated his party oiy
tat iff and revenue matters, Mr. Pen'
rose found himsel opposed by mejn
bers of his own party, tncludiog
Senators Smoot and Mc( umber,
who have been moved by the de
mand of the farmers for a tariff to
halt falling prices.
The task before Senator Penrose
is one that would tax the ingenuity
and resourcefulness Df a well man.
Mr. Penrose has undertaken it as a
duty to his party and while his
health is not yet robust, he feels
that the faith the, republican party
offers the country, calls upon him
to exert, what influence he can to
write a proper tariff when the time
comes, instead of agreeing to report
a bill which would protect only a
few and invite retaliatory measures
from foreign countries, the effect of
which would be to stop foreign
trade and precipitate a panic in the
United States. With the heroism
of a Spartan Mr. Penrose intends
to fight members or his own party
in the senate and the ways arid
means committee which reported
and forced through the emergency
tariff measures in the house.

A scarcity of linens is a posi
tive certainty-for quite some
time to come. The countries
which rdinarily produce
seventy-five per cent of the
world's flax supply are in a
chaotic condition, and flax is
simply not being grown fast
enough to care for the
world's needs.
That we are in a position to
offer good linens at such low
prices is due entirely to our
foresight in securing a proper
supply at a time when linens
were available.
