He said he could not change these or ders before hearing from the attor ney general. The commissioner refused to am plify this statement, which was in terpreted to mean that the attorney general would be asked to decide whether the patrolmen were "em ployes" who had a right to strike, or "officers" of the government who l:ad no such right. Governor Coolidge, in a statement characterizing the action of Boston policemen as desertion of duty, rath er than a strike, today said he could think of no conditions under which they should be allowed to return. Soldiers of the state guard con tinued in charge of the streets, aided by the force of volunteer policemen and such members of the regular force as had refused to desert their posts. Little difficulty was experi enced in breaking up the crowds, ex cept in one or two sections. Governor Coolidge, who was in charge of the police situation today as commander in chief of the armed forces of the state, had received as surances from both the war and navy departments that any call which he might make upon the president for federal assistance would be answered promptly.

BIG BUSINESS FEARS PLUMB C PLAN Counsel for Associated Industries Opposes Na tionalization, Because the Workers Would Benefit. Washington, Sept. 13.--The Plumb plan for tripartite control of the railroads under government owner ship must be "buried beyond all hope," if it is not to be made "a ral lying point" for the nationalization of all industry, Edgar J. Rich. trans portation counsel for the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, declared before the house interstate commerce committee considering legislation for final disposition of the railroads. Mr. Rich, who also spoke for the manufacturers' association of 22 states and the Massachusetts cham ber of commerce, said the Plumb plan, like bolshevism, was a "per version" of the principal of socialism in. that it would benefit only one class and deny the socialistic theory of the "general public good." The railroads, under the plan, lie said, B "would be operated for the benefit a of the workers," while the public would assume all risk of loss. e The greatest defect of the nlan, he a declared, is that the two-thirds rep - resentation given the workers and railroad officials on the proposed a wage-fixing. board would enable the ' workers to "dominate the board aind fix their own wages regardless of f revenues," with the public to stand any resultant losses. silmilar story may he told to t ile col mittee by a ruan who was it Paris at the time of the peace ' oinerence.

BUILDING JOBS' TIED UP BY LOCKOUT Efforts of Building Trades to Get Bricklayers to Af filiate With Building Trades Council Fails. As a result of the efforts of the building trades crafts to get the bricklayers to affiliate with the Building Trades council, a number of building trades mechanics were locked out tod(ly by the employers, following their refusal to work with men not carrying building trades cards. Most of the larger building jobs are tied upt as a result of the action and the number of men locked out is estimated at close to two hundred. The bricklayers' union is not a member of the Btuilding Trades coun cil, although their international un ion is affiliated with the Building Trades department of the American Federation of Labtor. Efforts have been made for a long time past by the building trades council to socure thie affiliation of the bricklayers, but without success. There is no means of estimating the length of time the matter will require to adjust. but. it is probable in view of the approach of winter, that the necessity of rushing buildings to completion will have its effect on the RETAIL PROFITEERS, STILL RAISING PRICES t (Special .nsited Press Wire.) \ashijngton.

JOHNSON GIVEN OVATION. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 13.---When enator Hiram W.

Sept. 13.-Conclud- t ng its annual encampment here the I grand Army of the Republic went a n record as opposed to the league f nations in its present form; voted c o matintain its identity so long as g single post exists, and elected Col. ames D. Bell of Brooklyn, com sander-in-chief. c The resolution opposing accep- r ance of the league of nations was I .dopted almost unanimously. The I esolution was presented by William e L. Ketchum of Indianapolis, past udge advocate of the Grand Army. I Efforts of Commander Adams to trevent the subject of the peace BOND ISSUEI TURNED DOWN Attempt t yor den to Saddle 0 0$5O 0 rden on People of Butte "Fits Temporarily. Instead of "open covenants openly arrived at," that grand old British principle of secret diplomacy was given a whirl by the Cornish mbn dlatory of the city of Butte last night and failed to make the expected hit. As the result. the people of I utte have temporarily been saved the added burden of some $500,000 in bonds, with which King W. Toinmie I, and his prime ministei, Premier Clinton, decided they needed to .re pair the republican political fences and build up an impregnable organ ization. When King Thomas assumed the throne last May, in his speech from the throne he announced that undet his rule all city warrants, which under the Maloney administration had become in disfavor with the money-lenders, would be worth par and would be cashed with all the freeness of currency of Uncle Sam. Apparently believing in what he said, (Continued on Page Two.) treaty coming up were unavailing. He ruled Ketchum's resolution out of order on the ground that it was of "purely political nature." His de cision was overridden by the dele gates. The resolution declared against "entangling alliances with foreigh countries," asserting that "we are not concerned with the internal policies of Europe, Asia or Africa." It declared this country "should not embark upon any policy that might endanger liberty or result in the sur render of our independence," and ended with this declaration: "We' protest against beipg com mited to the coverant of a league of nations as the same is now proposed as a rider to the treaty of peace."
