Jewell Presents
Labor Agreements
In Railway Case
Say Proposed Negotiations on
Rules Would Cost Union
Employes Approximately .
$6,000,000 Annually
Chicasro. March 24. Three rail
road presidents, members of the
tormer labor committee of the
Association of Railway Executives,
will be summoned to testify before
the railroad labor board if a request
of the employes is granted. Labor
representatives asked lor trie ap
pearance April 4, to testify concern
ing their attitude on national boards
of adjustment.
V. G. Besler, president of the Cen
tral of New Jersey; E. E. Loomis,
president of the Lehigh Valley and
H. E. Dyram, president of the Chi-
. cago, Milwaukee and at. I'aul, are
the executives named. All were
members of the labor committee
which took a divided stand on boards
. of adjustment.
Labor began its task of refuting
arguments of the carriers against
national agreement. B. M. Jewell,
president of the employes' depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor started in to dispose of ap
proximately 1,000 printed pages of
irgument.
i Negotiating rules and working
.agreements on each individual rail
road as proposed by the railroad
executives, would cost the railroad
workers more than $6,000,000, and
require the services of more than
5,000 men, it was stated by Mr.
; Jewell.
, Means Big Expense.
"If the request of the conference
committee of managers of the Asso
ciation of Railway Executives Is
granted," said Mr. Jewell, "and the
national agreement abrogated by de
cision of the board remanding the
subject matter of jrules and working
conditions to the respective railroads
and committees of their employes
for conference on individual lines,
the employes' conference committee
on each railroad would necessarily
be composed of at least one man
from each craft at each point on the
railroad. For the . 107 roads listed,
the figures show that the services of
5,158 commiteemen would be re
quired, at a total daily expense of
$65,760 and a total expense for 90
days of $5,918,442, besides additional
expenses.
Much of this enormous expense
on both railroad management and
railroad labor, together with the
consumption of valuable time of the
highly skilled and essential railroad
. officials and railroad employes
should be eliminated by co-operation
between railroad managements and
the recognized labor organizations,
through the creation of a conference
committee authorized to represent, on
the one hand, railroad management
and on the other railroad employes
of the particular crafts."
He cited figures to show that 75
per cent of the 455,776 shop em
ployes of class 1 carriers are
members of their respective craft or
ganizations and declared that since
1912, when the railway employes
s department of the American Federa
tion of Labor was authorized, there
has not been a single authorized
; strike of federated shop craft em
ployes. Mr. Jewell's statement is expected
to occupy several days in its presen
tation, following which the labor side
will present numerous exhibits on
various rules and principles of the
national agreement.

permitted to do so here.
"What took place and the infor
mation I have acquired will be re

any recommendation that may be

Taft at Conference.
Former President William H.
aft called upon Attorney General
Daugherty just before the newspa
per men were ushered in, and re
mained during their conference.
One of the very first inquiries put
to Mr. Daugherty was where the
authority lay for allowing a feder
al prisoner to make the trip to
Washington and return unguarded.
"I am satisfied there is full au
thority," said the attorney general.
"I have not looked it up, but I am
satisfied it exists."
"What precedent is there for it?"
he was asked.
"Well, there is a precedent now,"
' he replied. "I discussed the matter
with the president and I am willing
( to take the full , responsibility for
my action.
General Release Asked.
There has been much pressure
lately to force a general release of
political prisoners, comprising those
who violated the espionage act and
who obstructed the draft laws,
i throughspeeches and action Mr.
Daugherty was asked if the Debs
case would be the basis of a general
policy in this matter, but he said:
"No, this is an individual cise and
. it stands alone."
("Did Debs display any change of
nfind?" asked a correspondent, allud
ing to Debs' former attitude toward
the draft law.
"Naturally that was one of the
things discussed, but just as natural
1 ly I can not talk about it." was thfe
reply.

Venerable Catholic
Divine Died Today
(CmHbm4 Tnm Pat Out.)
ing activities that had marked his
stay in Carolina.
Archbishop Bayley of the Balti
more diocese began to take a lively
interest in the progressive efforts of
the young bishop and named him as
one of his counsellors. When the
archbishop died Bishop Gibbons was
chosen to succeed nun. ne was j
years old when he succeeded to this
title, the highest at that time in the
Catholic church in this country.
A Cardinal in 1886.
In 1883 Archbishop JGibbons led
a delegation of Catholic prelates to
Rome and was chosen by Pope Leo
XIII. to preside over the third plen
ary council held the following year.
His work in this office of trust and
other activities won him appoint
ment as a cardinal in 1886.
It was Cardinal Gibbons who laid
the cornerstone of the famous
Catholic university in Washington,
and he was made the chancellor of
the institution. One of his greatest
distinctions was the honor of being
the first American Roman Catholic
prelate to participate in the election
of a Pope. He voted for Pius X.
Active in War.
What was described in the public
prints at the time as the most mo
ecclesiastical eratherine of
a generation was the convocation of
the Catholic, hierarchy at Washing
ton last year. It was the first time
since the . third plenary council of
Baltimore in 1884 .that all the arch
bishops and bishops of the church in
the United States had been called
together.
Last June the cardinal ottered tne
prayer which opened one of the live
liest sessions of the republican na
tional convention at Chicago.
Cardinal Gibbons was active in
ruany ways during the world war
and the utterances to which he gave
voice from time to time proved a big
factor in cementing the interests of
the nation to the end of making com
mon cause against the enemy. He
had been just as outspoken in his
views since peace was declared.
"If the members of the red or
ganization don't like this country let
them go home," ii one widely quoted
recent utterance of the great prelate.
With Secretary of War P.aker Car
dinal Gibbons was named a few
months ago as a member of the na
tional advisorv committee for the
$10,000,000 Palestine restoration fund
campaign wnicn inc .idiui urgui
zation of America promoted.
Foe of Divorce.
Some of the cardinal's most recent
utterance have been directed against
the spreading divorce evil. He has
repeatedly urged the women of his
church to "maintain the sanctity of
the home" and exert every effort to
check the divorce evil.
To the very last the 'cardinal was
an opponent of woman suffrage and
only last May warned the women of
his church against being active ,in
politics at the risk of injury to their
homes.
"You are the queens of the do
mestic kingdom." he told them. "Do
not stain your garments with the soil
of the political arena.
After the amendment was adopted,
however, the cardinal advised all wo
men to vote.
He was anadvocate of universal
military training and was a great ad
mirer of the Boy Scout movement.
. The cardinal bad been HI tor sev
cr&l weeks.
Cardinal Gibbons, as senion bishop
of the church, wielded a strong in
fluence outside as well as witnin tne
United States. The confidant of
three popes, he made several im
portant tours to Rome, and late in
AA!frut. 1914. a few days after the
opening of the war he voted for the
successor to fius a. neamveu
too late, however, to participate m
the ceremony that elevated Benedict
to the pontificate.
Visits President
TTnnn i-rtnrnincr to the United States
he visited President Wilson, inform
ed the latter of affairs in Europe and
discussed means to bring about
peace. The cardinal was strongly in
terested in the affairs of the church
in Mexico during the troublous
times in that country and declared
that he feared fighting would never
cease under the Carranza regime. It
was largely as a result of his efforts
that the condition of the. clergy and
nuns of Mexico was ameliorated.
rarHinal Gibbons was active in his
work for the allies 'in the war and in
a letter written to the Catholics of
the archdiocese of New York, in
1917, when the United States entered
the conflict, urged the fullest support
of the government. A few months
previously he sent $iu,uuu to tne
American committee in London for
the relief of the Belgians, one of the
many notable instances of his benev
olence. In a sermon at Baltimore
in 1718 he praised the speech by
Llovd George and said that Ger
many's war aims would fail. About
the same time he explained Bene
dict's war policy, an article which so
oleased the cooe that he ordered it
translated and published broadcast. 1
In it he asserted sympathy with the I
allied aim of winning the war tor
permanent peace." To achieve this
result he also expressed opposition
to a cessation of hostilities when
Austria made fresh overtures.
Celebrates Anniversary.
Celebrating his 50th anniversary
as bishop in Baltimore, on October
21, 1918, an event attended by ec
clesiastics from all over the world,
he received among many other gifts
the decoration of grand ofheer of
the Legion of Honor from France.
Italy also decorated him. A month
later he joined with former Presi
dent Roosevelt, both of whom had
been friends for years, in a message
of cheer to the American Expedi
tionary Forces. On June 30, 1919,
he observed his 33d anniversary as
cardinal-archbishop and the 50th
year of his priesthood. Cardinal
Mercier, the heroic primate of Bel
gium, visited him on this occasion.
The cardinal's view on political,
economic and sociological questions
were frequently sought by newspa
pers. In interviews he endorsed the
J lan for the establishment of the
ewish Homeland in Palestine, op
posed the government ownership of
public utilities, maintained that pro
hibition meant "the invasion of
home with governmental prac
tice," condemned divorce, praised the
work of the Salvation Army in !
France, favored American military
training, importuned the clergy to
fight bolshevism, demanded that the !
Turks should be driven from Europe
and appealed to the public to sup
port America's entrance into the
league of nations. 1 i

24 Persons Die
As Reprisals Are

Scattered Outbreaks Reported
In Ireland, Following Num
ber of Recent Executions
By Crown Forces.
By Tbo Anoclated FrM.
Dublin, March 24. Twenty-four
persons were killed and nearly 30
wounded in ambuscades reported
yesterday.
The multiplication of the ambus
cade is believed to be largely due
to reprisals for the recent execu
tions. The Sinn Fein is said to re
gard their men as belligerents and
the execution .of those captured as
a breach of the laws' of war and
punishable by reprisal. The execu
tion of Whelen was followed by the
killing of two policemen in his town
of Clifden. The deaths of the two
policemen were avenged In Clifden
by house burning.
Ihe execution of Patrick Mpran
has been followed by the killing of
two policemen in his district of Ros
common. ' For every man executed vengeance
is anticipated and as the govern
ment has in custody many men
liable to the death penalty, the pil
ing up of deaths on each side is con
sidered here as inevitable.
No big 'outbreak is thought prob
able.
Woman Awarded $5,000
After Experts Battle
Aurora, Neb.. March 24 (Special.)
After all-night session, the jury
in the locally famous case of Eda
Nee Larson against David Hafer
brought in a verdict of $5,000 dam
ages. Trial of the case occupied five
days and it was the most hotly con
tested case in the Hamilton county
court for years. The plaintiff claimed
damages for an assault upon her in
November, 1918, at which time, she
claims, he struck her in the breast
with a hammer.
The first trial of the damage suit
in February. 1919 resulted in a ver
dict of $5,000, and this was reduced
to $3,000 by the court. The de
cision was appealed to the supreme
court and was reversed.
Seven physicians testified that at
the present time she has pulmonary
tuberculosis, which could be traced
back to the blow on her breast.
The suit developed into a battle
of experts on the question of wheth
er or not a b;ow on the breast of a
woman can lower her vitality and
strength to make her body a fertile
field for tuberculous bacilli, and
whether or not under those circum
stances the blow is the predisposing
cause of the disease.

A touch of delicate ruffling or lace
has much to do with the success of a
new tailleur or a frock. It must be
distinctive if it is to accomplish its
true purpose. For your approval we
have
Organdie and lace collars in shaped
and Tuxedo styles. Vests of fine net
and organdie. Vestees fashioned of
net and real lace.
The loveliest of real lace collars,
(rose point, roselin and Venise) are
the most desirable of rare acquisi
tions. The new pique collars and pique
sets are very smart and becoming.
The newest fashions are now ready
for viewing.
