LONDON, July 1.—The scan- dal over the “Sale of Honors” threateng to become a serious matter for the Government. One of the chief suggestions to pre- vent the continuance of the prac- tice of conferring titles to per- sons who gave big sums to the funds of a political party is that the names of the contributors and the sums they give should be made public, as is done in the United States. : It is alleged that $200,000 has been paid for some peerages and from $35,000 to $100,000 for some knighthoods. The weekly Nation and Athenaeum says of the Sunday newspapers: “This department of journal- ism is now almost etclusively conducted by newly made peers or baronets. Not one of them, with the exception of Lord Northcliffe, is a man of striking personal gifts.” Commenting on Lord North- cliffe’s serious illness, the Week- ly Outlook says that many of the things that have provoked such severe criticisms of the North- cliffe newspapers*in regard to their continental policy could probably be attributed to Lord Northcliffe’s condition. In re- cording some of Lord North- cliffe’s achievements, the Out- look says he persuaded President Wilson, in 1919, to drop the em- barrassing point about the free- dom of the seas on which the President had insisted. CHAMPAGNE SEIZED AT HOME OF MRS. REEDY Agents Alleges They Bought Drinks at Her Tea Room —She Denies Sale. of Mrs. Margaret The home Reedy, widow of the late editor of Reedy’s Mirror, on the Manchester and Berry roads, St. Louls County, was raided yesterday by Federal prohibition enforcement agents, who confiscated 24 pints and “four quarts of champagne, 12 pints of whisky, a bottle of gin, four gal- luns of grape wine and _ several cases of home-brew beer. Though tt was announced last March that Mrs. Reedy had been married to Martin P. Heany of 47562 St. Louis avenue, secretary of a plumbing company, she told the en- forcement agents that she preferred to ignore that marriage and de- sired to be known as Mrs. Margaret Reedy. The enforcement agents went tw the place, which Mrs. ‘Reedy has conducted as a tea room, bearing search warrants sworn to by agents who said that they had purchased four drinks of Mquor there. Mrs. Reedy was not at home when the agents arrived and they waited an hour for her return rather than break locks. A negro waiter was arrested. Mrs. Reedy promised to report at the Federal building Monday at 9 a. m She denied sale of liquor, and said that found was her private stock. ‘THUNDERBOLT PRODUCER’ TO BE ON NEW YORK SOCIALIST TICKET Dr. Charles Steinmetz Provisional- fal to the Post- Dispa PEW YORK.

WALKOUT WITHOUT DEMONSTRATIONS Guards Put on Duty to Pre- vent Damage to Railroad Walkout Comes With Va- cation Travel in Swing. By the Assoctated Press. CHICAGO, July 1—wWith the countrywide strike of shopmen de- clared by union leaders practically 100 per cent effective, the nation’s great transportation machine con- tinued its work without interruption. Railway executives were nnani- mos in thelr belief that the strike would have little effect upon the operation of their roads and as- serted that any move toward a set- tlement would have to come from the United States Labor Board or the employes. B. M. Jewell, president of the railway department of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, who yés- terday refused to appear at a Fed- eral inquiry into the strike call, re- iterated that the only basis for a settlement was for the roads to agree not to put into effect wage decreases recently ordered for the shopmen by the Labor Board. Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the Labor Board, declared in a formal statement that the power of the Government, coupled with pubiie sentiment, would give every protec- tion to every railway employe whe remains on the job, and to all new men who take the places of the strikers in the present walkout. Jewell States Position. In an interview tonight Jewell was quoted as saying that the shopmen, having left e employ of the rail- roads, no longer came under the jurisdiction of the Labor Board, He was quoted as deciaring that any negotiations by the shopmen would be with the rail executives, jt might be possible the executives would choose to deal through the Labor Board. When informed of Jewell’s atti- tude, Chairman Hooper of the board said: “The position that Mr. Jewell is now taking, to the effect that the no longer under the jurisdiction of the United States Railroad Labor Board or the application of the transportation act and, consequent- avail themsclves of the protection that the board Pos ; oe ty ee > Fare 5% 73 e by thy + ie k a % ; a S ptr pats, ae F . — 4 % ky, ae a nd * - : r fiat tk * ae ers : Mey c. i s Rae Hive, te ri 7 & . ae at » eae iv PaO et St ayer Associated 4 n oe r 4 Ay 4 ‘ fi 5 volunteers from the official staff) and office forces of the Terminal! iy Railroad Association, | = morning stepped into the places. ti. the 165 car wine = n of the ciation who went | ctrike at 10 ¢'cl i s oe, E Pre: SY antheagpm a | ae ita age ‘as ge eae Property at Some Points—- employes whom he represents are ait ren . 7 ; pat So Fe py age. aT Ie Rap RE See, HE acre EO EEE TRE OE ETE NES 4 a Fines “7 ee eo tne = a TS ORE PIS eae ea me 5 NS ay Fog b tgeg hes , A . i se ~ : - ak eee et "fone .
