NEW YORK, Aug. 17. The Amer-
ican Federation of Labor has no
authority to investigate the affairs
of the local Building Trades council,
according to a letter from Samuel
Gompers, read at the last meeting
of the Central Trades and l^abor
council here. Mr. Gompers' letter
said the A. F. of L. has no power
to probe the affairs of its affiliated
unions without the consent of the
unions to be investigated. There-
upon the Central Trades and I^abor
council voted to take the matter up
i .it the next convention of the A
of L„ and to try to bring about such
1 changes in the A. F. of L. consti-
tution as to make such investigation?

MOSCOW. Aug. 17—A great coun-
ter-revolutionary conspiracy headed
by Major General Prince Ckhovsky
has been uncovered at Rostov. The
conspirators included many notor-
ious white guards and so-called so-
cial revolutionists and had planned
an armed rising and had secretly
supplied arms to some bandit ele-
ments. Ukhovsky and the other
ring leaders were arrested and the
would-be bandits disarmed.

It has been called to my attention
that the Greek's are trying to get
Turkey's Angora.
Somebody stole a quill pen, used
by Lincoln, from a historical society.
That is what I call a fellly theft.
As a relic, the pen had a real alue.
But it Is hardly to be expected that
Its present possessor will display it
very widely.
Imagine seeing a sign like this:
"This is the quill pen once used
by President Lincoln, and later stolen
from the Chicago Historical society."
Surely the culprit doesn't intend to
use the pen?
I've never seen it. but I don't
imagine it's a self-filler.
When some of Captain Kidd's for-
mer possessions are displayed, I
guess they have to be very closely
guarded.
Because it really might add to
their draw4ng powers if they were
advertised:
"This treasure box, said to have J '^e movement for homer rule for

' At the same time other railroads quarrel with the painters union of
j are making ready to follow t
ample of the Erie, it was learned by j
the United Press. If the labor board j
i holds that the Erie was acting within
j its rights, it can be stated that at
least four big carriers will follow (
suit immediately.
The New York Central is already
letting out a good deal of its repair
work to private contractors and com-
panies, it was learned. Over 3,600
cars are now being repaired for this
road by outside shops.
Attack on Board.
Union leaders are irate over the
Erie's move, which they consider a
plan to defeat the purpose of the
railroad labor board and the trans-
portation act.
"The action of the Erie affects only
the shopmen, but we will take it up
while in our conference," said Tim-
othy Shea, assistant president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.
"What action we will take, 1 can
not say."
Leaders of the "big four" and the
! Switchmen's Union of North Amer-
! ica today continued their conference
' with western railroad officials over
! the wage and working rules question.
j The unions are asking the western
| executives to put wages back where
they were June 30, 1921, to stop ask-
ing for the abolition of time and a
half overtime; and not to ask the
'railroad botird for any further reduc-
tions in wages.
Eyes of the entire railroad world
weer turned toward Chicaog today in
anticipation of the decision of the
railroad board on the overtime ques-
tion and the provisions of the new
working rules.
This decision is considered of the
most vital importance in both execu-
tive union quarters.
Whatever chance there is of a gen-
eral railroad strike within the near
future, admittedly hangs on whether
the men are granted their old over-
time schedules and hourly rates of
pay in the shops. It is to escape
these hourly rates of pay in the
shops that the roads arp letting out
