AID TO HARDING
Johnson Supporter Will
Take to Stump for Gv
0. P. Nominee.
n\FS COX "WET" STAND
Car Shortage and Living
Costs Perturb West,
Says Senator.
(Public Lfdfrr Service.)
-? There is no doubt in the mind of
<enator William & Kenyon. of Iowa.
iow that the Republican ticket will
weep into office on election day.
Senator Kenyon. one of the supporters
of Senator Johnson in the pre'
onvention and nomination fight. left
"hicago with a sore spot when
Senator Harding: was nominated.
!>ut he has been convinced, since the
r Democratic convention, that sentiment
in this ?ountry will make this
% Republican year. Senator Ken"*
yon said he is ready to support the
Republican ticket and expects to
take the stump In Senator Harding's
behalf.
Would Firl>? Wets.
"I think Harding will grow
stronger and Cox will grow weaker
as the campaign progresses," he
said yesterday. "It will be impossible
for Gov. Cox to trim through
the campaign on the wet issue. He
Is a wet candidate and everyone
knows It. The country is dry. and
instead of being afraid of the Issue
the Republicans should meet it.
"Coming as I have from the West.
I know that people out there recognize
Gov. Cox as a wet candidate
trying to slide through the campaign
without making his position
clear, and they will not stand for It"
An-?her thing of Which the Senij
convinced as the result of
:rip back home is that the people
of the Middle West are not near v
so much concerned with the league
of nations as they are with tbe
car-shortage situation and the high
cost of living.
Prr<lft? Furl Control.
"If conditions do not Improve
within the next thirty days." said
Senator Kenyon," it would seem
that we may have to return to war
control of fuel."
The Middle West. Senator Kenyon
found, needs immediate relief
from the car shortage. The banks
, In that section are holding a great
quantity of paper secured by crops
that cannot be moved.
Investigation of the situation that
Senator Kenyon has already made
with the assistance of officials of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
has developed the fact that the
coal cars are in the West and the
box ears are In the East. Orders
already Issued provide for the movement
of 20,000 cars into the West,
but a preater supply must be obtained
to get at the bottom of the
trouble. Bankers with whom Senator
Kenyon talked estimate that
trt nrflcr to prevent a great loss of
n.oney both to the banks and the
Tiirrner* sufficient ears to move the
cutira crop must be provided within
the neat five weeks.
?AZING OF HUT
DP TO WILSON
Appeal Sent to President on
Rent Board Decision.
In a, letter to President Wilson
yesterday, the District Commiimissloners
contended that the Court
of Appeals must decide in thetr
favor an appeal from the decision
of the Rent Commission restraining
the city officials from razing Eagle
Hut at Seventh street and Pennsylvania
avenue.
The Rent Commission previously
had submitted the case vo the President
for a decision. The Commissioners
believe that insofar as the
Appalate Court had declared the rent
law unconstitutional it could not
recognize the Rent Commission's
decree restraining the Commissioners
from tearing down the hut.
City officials intended to raze the
structure, now being used as a
branch postofflce and recreation hall
for soldiers on August 1, and notice
was served on Postmaster Merrltt O.
Chance to vacate. Chance appealed
to the Rent Commission, which
granted him a favorable decision.
The Commissioners in turn appealed
t<> the Court of Appeals.

LABOR KEEPS
OUT OF FIGHT
Individuals Given Full Sway
Under Neutral Policy
In Campaign.
I
(By l alvrtul Serrtea.)
The neutral policy of the American
Federation of Labor as an organisation
with regard to political
parties will not affect the Individ- i
[ ual activities of officials and the
i rank and file of organised labor In
the third party movement.
This was made clear yesterday at
the headquarters of the federation
here. The "hands off" attitude of
the federation as a body. President
Samuel Oompers holds. Is In accord
> with the time-honored policy of the
organization not to indorse an)
! "labor party" or to make a public
doclaration .in support of any po!
litical party.
The position of the federation, >v
was learned, likewise will not af!
feet the determined opposition of
organised labor to the Republican
national ticket and platform. In
a recent Issue of the Federationist.

Federation of Labor, the Republic|

idge?and platform were declared
! to be "quite Impossible" from the
workingman's point of view.
President Oompers declined to
comment on the fact that John
Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, was to
deliver the keynote speech at the
Labor party convention in Chicago.
' and that several other officers In
' the A. F. of L. have been active
in the proceedings of the third
party conclave. It was explained
; that these union leaders were act-,
Ing on their own individual Initiative
and not as official representa|
fives of the federation.
Troops Guard
Loyalists In
Ulster Fete
Expected Attack of Sinn
Feiners, However, Failed
To Develop.
r
By ROBERT J. PREW.
ll'DiKttiil MerrU* SUIT Correapoodeat.)
London, July 12.?Countering the
demand of the rest of Ireland for
Independence. 100,000 Orangemen
demonstrated their loyalty to the
King At today's celebration of the
historic battle of Boyne.
All Ulster was "on edge" throughout
the day In anticipation of an
onslaught by the 8inn Fein, but not
the slightest disturbance occurred.
In addition to 1.600 troops stationed
throughout the district the
Orangemen left their own detachments
to guard the city hall and
other buildings In Belfast while
they marched out to Finaghy, near
the Ulster capital for their demonstration.
Addressing the monster crowd, Sir
Edward Carson said:
"Never in my life have I known
Ireland in a worse condition, and at
the same time, curiously enough,
never have I known Ireland to be In
a more prosperous condition than It
is today.
"South and West are hotbeds of
crime and assassination. It Is a
disgrace to the government that
people can hardly go outside their
doors without fear of murder."
The mass meeting adopted a resolution
offering to aid the government
in restoring order. On this
point Sir Edward said:
If our offer of help u not accepted
we shall organize the Ulster volunteers
to defend ourselves. North
and South are being driven wider
apart by these crimes. We shall not
enter into negotiations with the
Sinn Fein until they wipe out the
blood stains and adopt our Ideas of
progress and freedom."
Sinn Feiners. according to dispatches
from the South of Ireland,
are unmoved by what admittedly
was Ulster's biggest pro-English
demonstration on record.
The Republicans declare they
could muster millions from the remainder
of the country for a demonstration
in favor of independence!
from the British Empire.
Braved Ballets to Dodge Work.
Donald Myers, of Toledo, O.. 2S
was so afraid of work that he
braved a fusllade of police bullets
to escape from it. He was captured
after he fled from the workhouse I

Survivors of Lake Frampton
Brought to New York
By Liner Comus.
N'ew York, July 12.?Their vessel
cut in two and themselves saved
in the one boat which gotr away I
before their vessel sank, thirty-two I
survivors of the crew of thel
freighter Lake Frampton reached I
New York this evening on the I
liner Comus. up from New Orleans. I
The Comus, which rammed I
through the broadside of theH
Frampton eight miles off AtlantlcH
City, showed only a battered bow. I
Two of the Lake Frampton'sH
crew, a fireman and an oiler, per-H
ished. One of them clung to theH
rail of the sinking Lake FramptonH
calling out that he could swim. I
The Lake Frampton sank In a very
few minutes.
So quickly did the Lake Framp- I
ton's crew have to leave the vessel
that most of them got away In I
their underclothing.
C^pt. Frank Power, commander ofH
the Lake Frampton. denied earlier I
reports that the vessels crashed InH
a fog.
C*Pt. Power said that the night, I
although dark, was elear and stars
were visible, e said he saw no
reason f->r the Comus striking his I
vessel except gross negligence or I
misunderstanding of orders. He
said his quartermaster and officer
of the deck had reported they saw
the lights on the Comus ten minutes
before the crash came. He said
that Frampton's lights were burn-H
Ing brishtly. I
Capt. P. M. Mlddoe. commander ofH
the Comus, was In charge of theH
big coast liner for eight years. He
has commanded vessels of the company
for twenty-sis years. The
crew of the Lake, Frampton had to
remain on the Cfemus -because of
their lack of wearing apparel.
