CUndni. 0.. March 24. The Ocn
$' Policy t,wnmlttce of the United
BSWew '" "writer ei America mei ncrc
Pk.' 'putting into eftVct what Intcrnntlennl
President Jehn L. Lewis dec'nrcd will
be "the greatest strike In history." The
meeting was held behind closed doers,
but It was understood steps would be
taken te flnnnce and conduct the strike
without leadership from the tlme It
tarts April 1.
Indications at the opening of the
meeting were that the union forces
VOUld present a united front, ilrstilfp
any factional troubles.
J' Full" power te conduct the affnirs of
.the union during the suspension of work
'was rested In the Policy Committee by
the miners In convention at Indian-
polls last month. The committee nlse
'as the authority te negotiate for n new
wage agreement between the miners and
operators.
One of the most Important questions
expected te be decided by the committee
Is whether district unions shall be al
lowed te enter into separate agreements
Tilth the mine owners. At their In
dianapolis convention the miners voted
gainst regional conferences.
Farrington te Abide by Decision
Frank Farrington, president of the
Illinois district and opponent of Inter
national President Jehn h. Lewis, bald
. Before the meeting, he would abide by
the committee's decision. He asserted
that the Illinois miners would strike
and "stay out until some of these fcl-
. lows who nrc se keen for a strike, holler
. te quit."
Mr. Lewis was prepared te ask the
committee te affirm the action of himself
and ethej international officers in is
suing a strike call, which action Mr.
Farrington asserted was "premature"
indicating that he 'unned te raise this
Question before the committee.
Mr. Farrington declined te say
Whether he would press for the right
te negotiate a single State wage agree
ment with operators. He declared he
would meet the Illinois operators later,
but would net make any iicreement
without the sanction of the Policy Com
mittee. lYrture of Great Lakes Trade at Stalui
Mine owners who live here expressed
hopes that Lewis and Farrington would
reach an agreement. They claim that
the future of the coal trade of the Oreat
Lakes is affected by the controversy.
Fer years Ohie and Pennsylvania
operators have shipped annually en an
average of i,000,000 tens of cool, val
ued at approximately $100,000,000, te
the Northwest. They point out that
should the Illinois miners and operators
reach a separate- agreement the Illinois
mine owners would have the advantage
ever these of this section in furnish-
fuel te the Northwest,
te Illinois operators have expressed
their willingness te negotiate an agree
ment. Between 50 and CO per cent of the
coal shipped up the lakes is mined In
Eastern Ohie and Western Pennsyl
anin, while the remainder comes from
ether districts in these States, Ken
tucky and West Virginia. Of that
" mined in Eastern Ohie 30 per cent gees
into the Inke trade.
' The Policy Committee was expected
te arrange affairs in such shape that
the strike, once It started, would run
automatically. Steps also were te be
taken, it was understood, which will
make it unnecessary for the Interna
tional officials te send out orders from
Indlnnapells or for the committee te
remain in session.
Anether proposal calls for the as
sessment of strike dues te swell the
12,000,000 "war chest" which it is
estimated is already available. "Fullest
co-operation" of. the American Fed
eration of Laber has been assured, and
it la claimed mere that 7S0.000 union
1 railroad empleyes have entered an al
liance with the miners.
The Policy Committee Is composed of
Jlfl members. They Include the three
international officers, twenty-four
members of the International Executive
Beard, thirty-two members of the
Scale Committee of the sentral com
petitive field Western Pennsylvania,
Ohie, Indiana and Illinois and three
representatives from each of the nine
teen outlying districts.
Washington. March 24. (By A. P.)
President Harding and his Cabinet
were urged in a telegram taken te the
white Heuse today by Representative
.. Upshaw, of Georgia, te take action te
compel mine operators te meet the min
ers )n avwage conference before the pres-
ent contract expires en March 31, or,
in event of refusal of the operators te
ue se, for the Government te take ever
the mines and operate them until the
operators agree te such a conference.
The telegram was from E. h. Quinn,
of the Atlanta, vGn., Federation of
Trades, and Mr. Upshaw requested that
the matter be brought before the Cabi
net at its meeting today.

ALICE BLAKE BREAKS DOWN
IN ARBUCKLE TESTIMONY
Shew Girl Denlea Coercion by Rep
resentatives of Prosecutor
San Francisce, March 24. Alice
Blake, testifying for the prosecution In
the third manslaughter trial of Itoscee
C. (Fatty) Arbucklc, broke down yes
terday during her recitation of the
events at the party in Arbucklc's hotel
suite, which preceded the death of Miss
Virginia Rappe. Court recessed until
she had regained her composure.
In answer ta charges made by de
fense counsel that she had been ceearced
and intimidated. Miss Blake said en re
direct examination that nothing the DIs.
trlct Attorney had said or done had
affected her veracity. She said she had
come te the District Attorney's office
voluntarily and had net' been under his
surveillance since two weeks before the
first trial.
Explaining an assertion en the wit
ness stand that Mrs. Geerge Duffy, wife
of nn attache of the District Attorney's
office, had slapped her, Miss Blake tes
tified that Mrs. Duffy had wished te
awaken her and talk te her while she
was staying at' Mrs. Duffy'8 home.
Miss Blake, attorneys said, probably
would be the most important of the
prosecution witnesses, because of the
absence of Zey Prcvest, show girl, who
occupied the stellar position in Ar
bucklc's two earlier trials. Miss Prc Prc
eost is in New Orleans and reported
te be tee ill te come here.
District Attorney Brady's motion te
permit the rending of Mlss'Prevest's
testimony at the two previous trials
was expected te be ruled upon today.
Man and Four Sens
Slain in Belfast
Continued from Pi One
band, which retreated across the hills.
The pursuit continued for several hours
with frequent exchanges of shots.
At least five 'Sinn Feiners are be
lieved te have been hit. One, with a
bullet in the leg, was found under a
bed In a house which was raided during
the chase. Bullets pierced the capes
of several of the specials, but none of
them was wounded. Equipment dropped
by the ambushing party was captured.
Three murders were reported today
from the Fermanagh -Tyreno border.
The victims were Frank Kelly, Edward
McLeughlln and William Cassidy. All
were shot te death. It is believed the
murders were in reprisal for the recent
terrorism at Triltlck, County Tyrene, In
which Samuel Laird, an Ulster special
constable, was shot and killed and nu
merous Unionist houses were burned.
At a meeting of representative Cath
olics here today a resolution was passed
protesting against "the campaign of
murder against the Catholic commu
nity." The resolution alleged that no
attempt had been made by the authori
ties te check the atrocities and asserted
that the legislation proposed by the Ul
ster Government would merely result in
legalizing the work of the nssns&lns,
"The position of the Catholics in
Belfast is daily becoming mere des
perate," the resolution continued, "and
can only be paralleled by the treatment
meted out te the Armenians by the
Turks. Just as the civilized govern
ments felt compelled te take action then,
se new we believe they would take simi
lar action if the facts of the present sit
uation were known."
The resolution urged the fullest In
quiry into the situation.
State Prepares
for Ceal Strike
Continued from Face On
connected with It arc still in an Inchoate
star.
Iheve been assured en high authority
that there will net be any interference
with the striking miners who obey the
law. There are no statutes prohibiting
men from striking or remaining out as
long as they cheese. I am informed,
however, that strikers will net be per
mitted te Interfere with these who de
sire te work.
Protecctien Premised
Tp these all sorts of protection will
be accorded.
Governer Sproul's action a year or
mere age In warning a body of striking
Ohie miners from invndlng this State
for the purpose of compelling men In
Pennsylvania mines te cease work, will
be repeated if such occasion again
arises.
At that time he issued proclamation
sayiug that such it body would bp
treated as armed invaders, no matter
wlrnt the consequences.
There will be no tolerance by the
Eellce powers of the Stutc, of large
edles of striking miners parading from
mine te mine nnd by threats and in
timidations compelling men at work te
cease their employment.
It is. however, the earnest desire of
the State authorities te avoid trouble
during the continuance of the strike,
and nil efforts of the heads of the civil
power of the Commonwealth. I nm as
sured, will be directed te this end.

MAKES MONKEY OF APE IDEA
William Jennings Bryan, who is in
Philadelphia today, described college
professors who believe in and teach the
theory of evolution as "men who pride
themselves en being sons of apes:"
He said these Instructors would In
time be compelled te discard evolution
for ideas mere in harmony with the
Bible.
"The hand that write the pay
check rules the school," snld Mr.
Bryan. "These professors who hnve
given us intellectual snobbery will have
te come down te the level of the tax
payers who nnv them nnd be content te
f teach what the people want taught!"
.wr. iir.van sum timt tie nau Disagreed
w-lth Darwin en evolution for mere
than twenty years and had returned
te the subject recently because of the
effect of Instruction in some of the
colleges upon students.
"The students," he said, "arc being
taught that the Bible is a lie and that
man has no special reason for existence
and is under no moral obligation te a
Creater."
Mr. Bryan said antl-prohibltlentsts
weukl never succeed in changing the
Eighteenth Amendment or in modify
ing prohibition laws.
8' 'Sentiment In favor of the amend
ment Is growing," said Mr. Bryan.
"In the last month, the forty-sixth
State, New Jersey, has ratified the
amendment. This is only one indica
tion of the growth of sentiment in
favor of prohibition."
He criticized editorial writers en some
newspapers, saying they are virtually
allies of bootleggers.
"Only recently," he said, "there was
nn editorial in a Philadelphia news
paper, warning the Government net te
act against bootleggers who keep with
out the thrce-mlln limit nt sea.
"That warning was made about the
time n corporation was formed in Lon Len Lon
eon te supply liquors te bootleggers just
outside the threc-mllc limit."
Mr. Bryan was strongly in favor of
the bonus.
"The bonus," he said, "should be
paid by the profiteers. A tax could be
placed en unreasonable profits. A maxi
mum reasonable profit could be fixed,
with a graded tax en greater profits.
"But I am for the bonus, no mat
ter hew it is te be paid."
He added that the profiteers should
be made te pay the bonus, net only be
cause It would be the easiest way te
rnlse the money, but because It would
check, profiteering.
"And profiteering." he said, "is the
thing which stands between the Natien
'and prosperity."
Holds Treaty Harmless
Mr. Bryan expressed gratification be
cause of reports from Washington that
the Disarmament Treaty is certain of
ratification.
"Even when adopted with Senate
amendments," he said, "the treaty
would be harmless and, might de some
geed."
Mr. Bryan was net disposed te agree
with these who think the Republican
and Democratic parties will be suc
ceeded by ether parties.
"Nene of us can leek into the future
and tell what is going te happen," said
Mr. Bryan. "We can speak only of
the present. And from what is ap
parent in the two parties. I can see no
evidence of disintegration."
He said that at every election there is
some sort of temporary teallgnraent,
men going from one party te another.
That, he Bald, could net be looked upon
as the breaking up of parties.
Scientists Snobs, He Says
Mr. Bryan's eyes snapped as he dis
cussed the college professors who teach
evolution.
"We have," he said, "a group of
educational Brahmins who worship the
alphabet as it appears after their names
and expect ordinary mortals te make
obeisance te them an additional bow
for each additional degree.
"They arc presumptuous te put sci
ence above religion. They swagger
along the street and push ministers off
the sidewalk, as militarists used te de
civilians.
"We have an intellectual snobbery
that has treated these who deal with
spiritual things as of an inferior class
and act upon the theory that a professor
can teach anything he pleases regard
less of the wishes of the people."
He added that the people de net be
lieve In evolution and would eventually
bar the theory from school courses.
Pittsburghers Coel
- te Mackey Beem
Continued from Pace One
backing Lieutenant Governer Beidlc
man. Right there Leslie struck his first
snag. Baker declared that Beidlcman
would stick te the finish.
"What's the use of talking about
getting Beldleman out of the field, when
Fisher and Pinchot won't get out?"
was the substance of Baker's remarks.
It is thought by the leaders that
Baker would take Beidlcman out if
Practical harmony could be worked out.
e the politicians are looking for de
velopments, possibly along harmony
lines. They fear that discord may turn
the State ever te the Democrats.
It is significant that no one or the
big leaders is as yet committed te
Mackey. The Vares would like te have
htm as their candidate for Governer,
but they are still free te back another.
They simply regard Mackey as leading
the field just new. Governer Sproul
is also friendly te Mackey, but he, tee,
is free te enter a harmony conference.
Geed Chance for .Mackey
But if the Pittsburghers' efforts fall
te bring about harmony it is thought
that Mackey has as geed a cbanve us
any of getting the support of the Phila
delphia and Allegheny County organi
zations, and also the Indersement of the
Governer. The Governer is particu
larly Interested because of his ambi
tion te be national committeeman trem
Pennsylvania the successor te the
late Senater Penrose. As such, he
would be in touch with national lead
ers, have a hand in Federal patronage
and be kept in mind as presidential
timber.
A meeting te indorse Fisher will be
held tonight In the Thirty-sixth Ward
Penrose Republican Club where P. J.
Hcnnlen is the leader. A similar meet
ing will be held next Monday night at
the Twenty-eighth Ward Republican
Club, where David G. Pcnnlck is the
leader.

Business Beem
Continued from race One)
steady improvement, until finally in the
tenth week of this quarter 27,000 mere
cars were used in transportation of less
than carload lets than in the corre
sponding weeks of last year.
Retailer Up Fer Air
This less than carload let buying
means that the retailer is coming up
for air. Tentatively nt least, he is
leading bis shelves. He thinks that
prices are right or that the public mood
has changed or he sees mere money ir.
the pocket books that arc opened in
front of his counters.
Thnt is one phnse of the Improvement.
Considering it mero generally you get
these figures : in the first week of 1022
the railroads moved 02,000 less car
loads of freight than in the same week
of 1021. But In the second week the
thine turned and COOO mere cars were
used for freight than in the second week
et last year.
Frem that point en, the records ran
like this for the third week, 30,000 mere
cars, for the fourth week 42,000 mere,
for the fifth, 54,000 mere. Fer- the
sixth, 101,000 mere. Fer the seventh.
88,000 mere,' for the eighth. 50,000
mere, fbr the ninth, 02,000 mere antl
for the tenth, 129,000 mere.
This is net the busy season of the
year in railroad freight, but of course
a season of relative inactivity is com
pared with a season of relative inac
tivity. Many Part Carloads
These statistics of the u Interstate
Commerce Commission de net give many
details. Yeu canrt' tell hew much is
coal, except as already pointed out, te
the extent than less than carload lets'
are an indication, and of the gain in
129,000 cars in the tenth week, 27,000
were of the less than carload ship
ments. There are some figures en agricultural
products. Grain shipments used en an
average 5000 te 8000 mere cars per
week than during the corresponding
quarter of last year. Livestock ship
ments grew at about the same rate.
This movement corresponded with bet
ter prices for farm products reported
et the. primary ninrke(s.
Lumber shipments were about 5000
cars better per week than last year
and all ether building materials showed
a corresponding gain.
Improvement is spotty, being as ship
ments indicate, better In one place than
in another, but it is substantial.
Building Is One Facter
Increased building is one fncter In
the betterment. Building contracts to te
talled $177,305,000 in the Eastern and
Northeastern States in February, an
advance of $11,000,000 ever January.
Certain doubts exist because of the
coming coal strike. It is also felt there
has net been a sufficiently general liqui
dation of prices.
But business has started en the basis
of supplying actual needs, such as the
notorious deficiency in housing. If,
after the armistice, it might have been
directed there instead of into an orgy,
of luxury producing and price raising,
the depression might have been avoided.
Actual needs are se great as te keep
industry occupied without worrying
ever foreign markets or ever the pros
tration of Europe.
At any rate there is a definite start
upward which is'net merely psycholog

RENTED PLACE FOR LIQUOR
New Yerk, March 24. Opening the
defense of Tex RiekartJ. charged with
criminally assaulting fifteen-year-old
Sarah Bc-heepfeld, counsel for the sport
promoter tedar told the Jury that a
perfect alibi would be proved for Ne-
veanxr iz, mi, ue aate ei .up
alleged offense.
Max Steuer, chief defense counsel,
also set forth that the two apartments
en West Forty-seventh street men
tiened in connection with the case had
been rented by Rlckard while he was
arranging the Dempsey-Wlllard fight
In Teledo te store his liquor, because
he saw prohibition coming. i
Rlckard, Steuer said never had been
in the suites in his life; and had gene
te the apartment houses themselves' only
twice, te ascertain from the janitor
that his cellars were O. K.
Rlckard's counsel denied the pro
moter ever had gene metering with
either Sarah or twelve-year-old Nellre
Gaske, corroborating witness for the
prosecution.
Steuer said bis client knew nothing of
the two girls except that Sarah once
had come te Majlsen Square. Garden
with her mother, te enlist his aid In
obtaining the release of her brother,
Imprisoned In Milwaukee.
Outlining the defense, Steuer said the
Jirosecutlen would have te prove the of;
ense occurred en the night, of Novem
ber 12, 1921, between 7 :30 o'clock and
10 o'clock, according te the story told
by the girls.
Although Rickard never kept a diary,
Steuer added, he could always recall the
past by looking at the record of events
that had taken place at the Garden, and
with a glance at these records te refresh
his memory, the promoter recalled that
November 12 was no ordinary day in
his life.
Steuer said he, would show that in i
the morning itickard went te tne uar
den; that, at 1:80 o'clock he went te
the Pole Grounds te watch the Dart
mouth-Pennsylvania, football game, ac
companied by nis secretary ami pud
licity manager, and there he had ex
changed comments with a newspaper
sporting writer and "Big Bill" Ed
wards, termer I'nnccten gridiron star;
that he had returned te the Garden te
prepare for a dance te take place there
that night ; that he had returned home
for dinner with Mrs.. Rlckard; as would
be proved by the testimony of a young
woman who had been the Ricknrds'
week-end guest; that Mrs. Rickard
had become ill and n physician sum
moned; that later he had taken his
guest and another woman te the dance
at the Gat den and then returned hlme.
It was expected also that the Charac
ters of Sarah Schoenfeld and of her so se
called corroboratory witness. Nellie
Gaske, thirteen, and of the ether girls,
Alice ituck. tiitecn. and Anna ttess,
eleven, would be attacked.
Nellle Gaske, the "geed little girl"
who had declared she never bad been
intimate with Rickard. but that her
chum. Sarah Schoenfeld, had fre
quently gene into an apartment with
him, ' yesterday admitted under cress -
questioning tnat sne was a uar, a
forger of checks and had robbed, a
house. Alse, she confessed, that while
in the custody of the Children's Society
she had "helped te fix up Sarah Scheen-
fnlit'n ntnrv' Kr.ettae uf HmM "flnrnli
didn't have a very geed! memory about
antes and i supplied tne dates tnat were
missing."
