These men were led to believe
that after 10 or 11 weeks' Instruc

able to command journeymen's

FRENCH CRISIS
MAY BE AVERTED
Reinstatement of Railroad
Strikers Causes Dis
agreement of Houses
PARIS, Dec. 26. (By the AP.)
It appeared tonight that the
government had been able to avert
the ministerial crises which was
unexpectedly precipitated Wednes
day when' it" was defeated by a
vote in the senate on an amend
ment to the amnesty bill. It was
said that the radical and socialist
parties likely would vote for the
bill as outlined by the senate when
it comes up before the chamber
next Tuesday.
The disagreement between the
chamber and the senate on j the
measure came about over a clause
concerning the reinstatement of
the railroad strikers who were
dismissed by the companies after
the 1920 strike. The chamber in
sisted that the companies should
be forced to reinstate these form
er employes. The senate origin
ally amended this clause so that
the reinstatement of the men
would be optional, with the com
panies. The bill went back to the
chamber and the amended clause
was substituted with the original
one. vhen the measure was re
turned "fo the senate Wednesday
the upper house voted down the
chamber and incidentally the
government and the bill was re
turned to the chamber with the
compulsory reinstatement clause
missing.
At the same time it was said
that many members of the social
ist party in the chamber might ab
stain from voting on the bill Tues
day or might separate from their
leaders, thus causing an embarass
ment to the government and reduc
ing the working majority.: The
premier, who has been ill, received
the leaders of both majority par
ties in his rooms today. It was
declared to be due to his personal
efforts that a crisis probably
be avoided, although the socialist
position is not yet definitely clear.

Small Fortune Yielded J .-i
By Army Iron Kettles
The Salvation Army collected
$793.15 during the 13 days that
the iron kettes were on the streets.
Most ( of the money was collected
the few days preceding Christmas.
During the first of the collections
no less than one hundred dollars
had been secured. However,' the
six or seven days before Christmas
were banner ones and the dona
tions of nickles and dimes were
very frequent.
Within a day or so the officials
of the Salvation Army are to have
a public report of all the goods
and monies they have collected
during the past Christmas holi
day. They intend to show to what
use the money and the clothing,
a well as the food supplies was
put. Numerous details remain
unchecked before the final report
is ready for the press.
The small boxes that have been
placed about the city will increase
the sums of money, raised by the
Salvation Army for relief work
in the city. The sums are to be
made public. l i
COUNTY YMCA POPULAR
The county YMCA is having
large success with its group chart
ing. A chart which helps a boy
to see "The Shape He Is In, to
see himself as others see him, is
used in the county HI-Y and Pion
eer groups and has proven teo
popular that already five churches
have requested they be allowed
to .use the chart in their Sunday
school classes. The chart enables
each boy or girl to estimate his
real character by asking himself
a series of 4 0 questions, 10 in
each of the following: The intel
lectual, social, religious and phy
sical side of the life. Requests of
the county YMCA office at Salem
will be gladly answered.

the octet were Rose Cleveland.

Argument Is Serious
DALLAS, Texas, Dec. 26 Jul
ius Jordan, 16 years old, is in a
hospital not expected to live and
police are searching for another
youth about the same age as the
result of a shotgun duel staged by
the boys this afternoon to see
"which could shoot the best."
The shooting followed an argu
ment between the two boys as to
who was the better marksman with
air riHes and when the discussion
became somewhat heated,: some
companions went for the shotguns
so that the boys could settle the
affair. i
The shotguns were thrown down
between the boys, each took one,
and then backed away about 50 or
60 feet And both fired. Jordan
dropped fwounded while the other
boy ran.' i '
The left side of Jordan's face
and head is filled with buckshot
and his left eye is believed to be
punctured. Part of his face was
shot away. :
Between 25 and 30 boys wit

could not look at the shociing,"
and ran away.:
NEW PARTY IN

tive elements to torm a new party
with purely patriotic ideals. This
party, under the name of the
patriotic union, appears to have
taken shape. Recent figures show
that it has already established 6,
967 centers, or committees, in
the country, with a reported ad
herence of 952,034.
Sixty-four districts In which
committees have been formed have
thus far failed to . report prog

quarters, it is said. : that a con
siderable proportion of those who
registered under the new party

selves with the ulterior motive of
gathering some political spoils
should the patriotic union be
called upon to enter office. Such

spirit and had only the good ot the
country at heart.
; It is suggested that a govern
ment form of Intellectuals should
be chosen but the Spanish press
reported that many objections
were raised. Argument ras ad
vancedthat the intellectuals were
equally as inexperienced as the
members of the present director
ate and that many of them pos
sessed new and strange ideas of
government and were unlikely to
exert the proper influence on the
nation.
A more definite idea is recently
reported to have come from politi
cal quarters. In this direction It
is believed, according to observers,
that, as a consequence of the re
cent campaign against King Alfon
so, some of Jhe former political
leaders will rally to the aid ot the
military directorate on lhe pretext
that It is their patriotic duty to
protect the monarchy.
These former leaders are ex
pected to permit themselves to be
persuaded to accept office in a
transitory government. This gov
ernment is regarded as the one
which is likely to take over power
from the military directorate while
the national elections are being
organized.
