Criticizes Commissioners "The whole purpose of the net." said Mr. Cordon, "is to follow the ballots from the time they leave the hands ot the county, commissioners, through the polls, and back to the court where they are counted, so that there may be a complete record. The county commis sioners have failed to keep proper rec ords, and therefore the court is uot making the count properly You are wrong," answered Judge Audenried. "We have given this act careful scrutiny. We have worked on it for days. What do you want us to do cease making the count?" "Don't you think you ought to s,einl for the county commissioners." de manded Mr. Gordon, "and have them explain why they did not live up to the law!" "So, sir." answered Judge Auden ried. "It is none of our busipess. It is not the duty of the return court to stir up flic county commissioners. We are confronted by the situation und we nre making the best of it." Explanations Accepted Discrepancies discovered yesterday in the election returns from the first and second divisions of the First ward were satisfactorily explained at the morning session and the two ballot-boxes were not opened. In the first division of the First ward it was charged that nine spoiled ballots had not been accounted for. David K. Collins, judge of the division, ex plained that he was new to the work, having been appointed by the court and nt the start ot voting did not under stand that the ballots were to he torn from the stubs and the stubs retained. In the second division of the same ward, it had been found that there was no return of unused ballots. The di vision had been given 2."0 ballots, and reported havins used 17(1, two of which were spoiled. William Selxes, judge of the division, called upon to explain what had become of the unused ballotx, said he had not understood they were to be returned. He had brought the un used ballots in under his arm. Hog Cholera In Talbot County, Md Elkton. Mil., Sept. 20. -Hog cholera has broken out among the swine of dif -ferept farmers In Talbot county.

' Assistant Attorney General Ames wrote Chairman Hnugen : "We are nlso just ndiij-cd that the Holly Sugar Corporation of California is placing the new crop of beet sugar on the market at .$11.50 per hundred, against $9, which is the prevailing price for the old crop This being a case of individual action, and the new crop not being controlled by the sugnr equal ization board, the department cannot take effective action in the matter until the nniendnieuts are passed." The amendments asked are delayed by a dispute between House pnd Senate mer legislation, to control rents in the District of Columbia.

COMMERCE DIES LIKENED TO Miners Assert National and Local Chambers Are Hos tile to Labor DISCUSS RADICAL DEMANDS lly Iho Associated Press Cleveland, Sept. 20. The convention of the I'nlted Mine Workers of America today classed the Chamber of Com merce of the United States with the Industrial Workers of the World nnd other syndicalist organizations as hos tile to organized labor. The miners amended their constitu tion, forbidding members to join any nnd all such organizations, under pen alty of permanent disbarment from office. President Lewis stated the In tent of the amendment, so far as the Chamber of Commerce was concerned, was to bar membership In local cham bers of commerce also. One of the chief charges brought against the national body was its in dorsement of the Rockefeller industrial plan, now employed to regulate the re lations of employers nnd miners in cer tain mines in Colorado, against which the United Mine Workers aro waging a vigorous opposition. The amendment, the" original nini of which was more effective, means to com bat Itolshevisl efforts to gaitf a foothold in the miners organization, was car ried by a very large majority. Two speakers defended the I. W. W. from the floor, but had only a scanty fol lowing when the vote was taken. One delegate reported that in his dis trict miners had worked an average of only one day a month during the nine months since the armistice, nnd bad been idle consecutively for two periods of seven and five weeks during that period. Exemption from dues was voted to men employed In mines working less than five days each month. The afternoon is being devoted to the nationalization of mines, formation of a national labor party, withdrawal of American troops from Itussia, self-determination of nations (including Ire land), lelease of pojitical prisoners, etc. "Who's Johnson's Friend" Is Query Continued From Tore One There are probably others ou the list, but these are a few. Besides there s another circumstance. The regular old line Republicans, who were not heretical in 1012, love John ion because he hates the President. But for no other reason. They do not love him enough yet to wish to see him President. One can linngaine the satis faction of Mr. Harding, for example, or Senator Brandegee, or Senator Knox, or Senntor Watson, or Senator LaFollette. in voting for the Johnson amendment if they thought It would get through, be popular, and perhaps bring him instead of them, the honor of the Republican nomination next year. And one can imagine the pleasure of good, sturdy Republicans like Sena tors Curtis, Wndsivorth, Warren, Mc Lean, Dillingham, Page to mention a few contributing by their votes now to Mr. Johnson's success In the national onvention in 11)20. Did Mr. Johnson think thoughts like these? Did Mr. Borah? Did Mr. Bo rah think thoughts like these when he sent his telegram? Suppose Mr. Borah is Mr. Johnson's representative in Wnshingtou, might he be excused for not wishing to take responsibility for what is going to happen to the John sou amendment in Johnson's absence? A telegram washed his hands of all responsibility. Certain it is that before the tele grams were sent the Senate talked seri ously of the progress' Senator John son wns making ns a candidate on his stumping tour. And it is a good guess that those telegrams will huve their revebcration in 1020. In 1010 it was because some one neglected Johnson. In 1020 it may be because some paid "too much atten tion" to him. Two telegrams are too many. ARRESTED; GIVEN FARE HOME Discharged Soldier "Picked Up" Two Auto Tires Is Freed Lawrence White, nineteen years old. of Washington. D.

INDUSTRIAL TRUCE, PLEA OF PALMER Attorney Oeneral Urges Six Months' Armistice for Eco nomic Adjustment DISCOUNTENANCES STRIKES lly the Associated Press Kreeport, Pa Sept. 20. An abso lute industrial armistice for six months was urged by Attorney Oeneral Palmer here today to permit the solution of economic problems arising out of the changes wrought by war. Such n period of freedom from un- I rest, he declared, would result soon in ' ,7r.ln-,UV::,r,C-?..D"n bout nn era of "easier living nnd better times" for nil. On the other hand, the attorney general warned, selfish de mands by any one class cannot stimu late the national prosperity or per manently benefit even those obtaining such demnnds by force. He strongly discountennnced strikes. ' The campaign to reduce the cost of living, which he Is directing, evidently was foremost in the attorney gencrnl's mind in his speech delivered nt n re union of the Seventy-eighth Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, which also was a home-coming celebration for men who served in the world war. He said that although ninny problems beset men's minds in these dn.is of recon struction, there Is none which cannot be worked out "in the general interest" in a government where the people are the only rulers. "But, unless we shnll be satisfied with that which is for the general in terest," he continued, "and do not in sist upon that which Is in our own particular interest, there will be trou ble nnd delay in the settlement. If men could learn to be pntient under conditions which have resulted from the world war until n more accurate esti mate of the possibilities of the situation can be mnde, all our problems will be sooner soiled; but If impatience nnd selfishness shall rule and Immediate forceful or direct action be taken, it is perfectly obvious that nothing but dis order nnd delay can result. "The crying need of the world just now Is for pence, and not political peace between governments nlone, but indus trial peace amongst men also. The things for which men light are never settled while the war is on. "Idleness is no panncea for the ills from which the country suffers. Work may be. The cost of life is only en hanced by the idleness of men ; it can be reduced b) the Intelligent industry of all." Steel Operators Not to Close Plants Continued From Pate One strike.

"Ths treaty should be ratified without delay nnd without change' declared Seerc tnry of Stat" Robert Lansing here to day in the first public utterance made by him since the statement of William C. Ilullltt before the Senate foreign re-' lations committee, in which it was al leged that the secretory of state on May 10, In Paris, said that it the Ameri. can people knew what was in the treaty they would defent it. "In the treaty of peace," Mr. Lan sing further "said, "there is nothing which invades the sovereignty of this republic or which limits. In any way the full exercise of such sovereignty." Helps Name Town for Himself Mr. Lansing spoke at the dedication Lansingdorp, a suburb of Watcrtown, erected by the government to house munitions workers nnd named in honor f the home- of the I.nnsing family In I Holl-nd. He made no direct refer- ence to the Ilullltt testimony, content ing himself with saying that the treaty. as it is, should be ratified. "We arc now approaching a new era." he said, "an era of peace, nnd, ns I confidently believe, nn era of na tional prosperity unsurpassed in our history. The people of the earth ar dently long to enter upon this era, so that they may begin to rebuild that which has been destroyed. This can not be done until normal commercial aud Industrial conditions arc restored and then only can be restored In one wny and that is by ratifying the treaty of peace, which now lies on the table iu the I'nlted States Senate.

But the objections which have been made to certain provisions are trivial compared with the imperative need of pence. "We ought to have peace at once, , The treaty should be ratified without delay anil without changes.
