19 RAILROAD NEWS OFFICIAL RIGHT IN SHOP STRIKE Federal Assistant Director General Decides Altoona Men Were Wrong Altoona, Pa., Nov. 13. G. N. De- Guire, assistant director general of the United States Railroad Admin istration, has handed down a de cision in the controversy between the Pennsylvania Railroad Company of ficials and the Federated shop crafts that led to the strike at Engine house No. 3 on October 6 and the general walkout of all the shopmen in Altoona, Hollidaysburg and Ty rone on October 10. He upholds the contention of the railroad officials as regards the appointment of men to supervisory positions which brought about the trouble. He also render ed decisions of about a dozen other cases on disagreement that t\ ere brought before him at the confer ence held by him between officials and workers, upholding the officials. Two cases were held over for fur ther consideration. Start of Strike The strike of the shopmen follow ed the appointment of H. D. S-puor to the position of foreman at No. 3 enginehouse and Thomas J. Burchell as assistant foreman, the main c ° r }~ tention being the naming of the lat ter. The shopmen contended that it was a position that should have been advertised and the appointment made in regard to seniority. Mr. DeGuire was sent to this city hy Di rector General Hines to settle the strike and at an almost all-night conference he heard both sides of the controversy. He promised an early decision. His decision was sent to General Manager O'Donnell, of the companj, and to Chairman N. M. Jones, of the Federated Employes at Harrisburg. Neither the officials of the company nor the Federated Employes were empowered to give out the finding in full; it can be stated that Mr. De- Guire approved the appointment of the men to the supervisory positions and shall be retained in them. The other questions concerned working conditions and the company was sustained in all but two which have been held for further consideration.

Second E'ioor Street Floor LEGION ELECTS AND ADJOURNS Franklin D'Olier Is Named as Its First National Commander Minneapolis, Minn.. Nov. 13.—The first annual convention of the Amer ican Legion came to a close last night. It was decided to open the 1920 convention at Cleveland, Ohio, on September 27. The convention probably will last three days. The convention elected Franklin D'Olier, of Philadelphia, as its first national commander and voted to have Congress consider the advisabil ity of approving further bonuses for service men. D'Olier was the lirst candidate to be nominated. He was named by the Arkansas delegation. California passed its nominating right to New York, and Stuyvesant Fish placed the name of Hanford MacNider, of MaSon City, lowa, before the conven tion. The Virginia delegation nomi nated Leslie Jones, of Washington. D. C., and Kentucky named Emmet O'Neill, of Louisville. Jack Sulli van, of Seattle, who was nominated by the North Dakota delegates, with drew from the race, as did Chairman Henry D. Lindsley, of Dallas, nomi nated by the Texas delegation. The vote was: D'Olier, 366; MacNider, 249; Jones, 18; O'Neill, IS. The Rev. Francis A. Kcily, of New York, was elected national chaplain. The title of past national com mander was conferred upon Mr. Lindsley. He had been acting head of the legion since the meeting at St. Louis last spring.. Turbulent Session Election of the national -com mander followed a turbulent after noon when a mass of resolutions and reports, including the soldier bonus issue, were considered. The convention for a time seemed ftAItRISBTTRG TELEGRAPH sharply spilt on the proposal to In dorse a specific bonus plan, and finally voted to place the matter In the hands of the Nutional Senate and House of Representatives. Representative Royal O. Johnson, of Aberdeen, S. D., who served In France, supplied the Inspiration which decided the bonus issue. Call ed to the convention stuge, he urged the delegates to ask Congress "to recognize and relieve the financial disadvantages," incurred by persons who made sacrifices to nerve their country. Former Senator I,uke Lea, of Tennessee, chairman of the bonus committee, formally put this resolu tion before the convention and it was passed by a tremendous viva voce vote. A broud variety of subjects, in cluding the Centralia, Washn., trag edy, industrial unrest, anil the Na tional Nonpartisan League, were touched on yesterday ufternoon. Delegates from northwestern states drew up a resolution assailing the activities of President A. C. Town ley, of the Nonpartisan League, but it was tabled by a vote of the con vention. Commander D'Olier issued the fol lowing statement shortly after his election: "The American Legion has an j enormous amount of constructive work before it in the coming year, but the spirit of clear thinking, fair play and co-operation manifested so wonderfully throughout this conven tion leaves no doubt in my mind that we shall be able to accomplish during the coming year just as remarkable resxilts for our country as we did in such a comparatively short time in effecting the utter defeat of the enemy. "Every action of the convention was discussed carefully and in every instance the soundest possible judg ment prevailed. There was only one thought ofevery delegates present an 4 that was to do what was best for this country of ours, for which only so recently we were willing to give our all." GUILD TO MEirr New Cumberland. Pa., Nov. 13. The Otterbein Guild of Trinity United Brethren Church will meet at the home of Miss Ruth Stable at New Market this evening. Says Crop Damage Is Responsible For High Coffee Prices Atlantic City. N. J., Nov. 13.—Denial I that coffee roasters were responsible for the present high prices of that ar ticle was made by Carl W. L Brand, president of the National Coffee Roasters' Association, which opened its annual convention here yesterday. In his address to the convention Mr. Brand said the cause for the rise in the cost of coffee was due to the croo damage in 1918 coupled with world wide inflation of currency and the war tax. He called for u campaign of education to lift the charge of prof iteering from the roasters. Mr. Brand said tlx- members of the association were ready to join in any movement to break any manipulation of the world's supply of coffee. Woman, on Knees, Ends Life by Gas Philadelphia, Nov. 13.—Kneeling, as if in prayer, Mrs. Henrietta Blum, 61, ended her life by inhaling gas. Breaking in the door, police and a maid found her body in an nttic room on the third floor of her home. It was in a kneeling position be fore u chair, the head buried in a cushion. Gas was still flowing from a tube which had been inserted in her mouth and later dropped out. Mrs. Blum was the widow of Isaac Blum, founder of the firm of Blum Brothers and a former president of the Bank of Commerce, who died July 12, 1913. Mr. Blum bequeathed nearly all of an estate valued at $150,000 to his wife, two sons and two daughters, making Mrs. Blum and a son executors.

NOVEMBER Is, 1919. 1 Bond Men Hear Expert at Evening Banquet "Conservation and co-operation are essential to future industrial de velopment, but although extrava gance Is now in the ascendancy and labor troubles are hampering pro duction, this condition cannot be permanent." ' This is one of the remarks made by James Rattray, assistant mtnager of the bond department of the Guar anty Trust Company, New York, who spoke to twenty-five members o the Bond Men's Association of Cen tral Pennsylvania, who held their dinner at the Penn-Harris lust even ing. "The average American worker is accustomed to law and order; he appreciates the .comforts of'life and is willing to worfc for them," Mr. Rattray went on, "and it is extremely unlikely that he will continue In definitely to sacrifice hiroseif and his family in the vain hope $f reaching a chimerical Utopia. • Many o( our workers own their own homes; they have investments of various kinds j I which constitute them capitalists as i well as laborers, and in view of these i facts pessimism regarding the ulti mate outcome seems unwarranted." Mr. Rattray reviewed our war ac tivities and the results of the posi tion taken by the United States in a financial way. He exhibited the greatest optimism for the possibilities of the country In its post-war work. Wife No. 2 Brings Charges of Bigamy Philadelphia. Nov. 13.—George E.
