General dissatisfaction over the pro- visions of the award prevailed' among labor leaders There is no menace of an Immediate rail strike, however, as the plebiscite among the membership will require- - fully a month, high officials said Considerable disagreement concerning the probable attitude of the workers toward the award was voiced in the meet-in- g of tho executives ht From an unimpeachable source It was learned that the official representative of the telegraphers and maintenance of way men had expressed ,tho opinion that their constituencies would be opposed to the award. The locomotive engineers and shopmen, on the other hand, were reported by their delegates to favor the decision. Retroactive pay increases aggregat- es $600,000,009 a year approximately half the amount demanded by the railroad workers of America were granted by the labor Board In its long awaited decision fixing the wages of 1,891,287 members of sixteen railroad crafts. The workers had demanded the ad- dition of f 1,200.000,000 to the railroads' payroll. The board \split tho difference,\ disappointing the workers and perhaps precipitating widespread labor trouble. The seriousness of tho situation was Increased by the fact that detailed \ad- vance\ publications of the new scales were not only all wrong but also higher than tho increases actually awarded. This made further discontent among the men. That the settlement Is unsatisfactory to the union men Is evident.

ATHEIST Upset Is Setback for Wets, Who Gained on the Judi- ciary Committee. Be.vso.v, Minn., July 20. The Rev. Of J. Kvale-of- - Benson'ls disqualified' as the Republican candidate for Con- - grcss in the Seventh Minnesota dis- trict and Representative A. J. Vol- stead, author of the prohibition en- forcement act, is declared to be the \duly nominated candidate\ In a de- cision filed here today by District! Judge Albert Johnson, who heard tho suit contesting Kvale's nomination. Volstead was defeated by Kvale in the June 21 primary. Kvale was in- dorsed by the Non -- Partisan League. Action contesting\ Kvale's nomina tion was brought under the State cor-- J rupt practices act and its bases in- cluded charges printed and circulated by Kvale that Volstead was an atheist and opposed to the Bible and that ho had sneeringly made allusions to Kvnle's preaching on the miracle of tho loaves and fishes. Judge Johnson's decision asserts the acts of Kvale \constitute a deliberate, serious and material violation of the laws of the State . . . and that there is no Justification or excuse there for.\ Special to Tnr. Sun and New York llirnt.D. Washington. July 20. The court de- cision that Andrew J. Volstead was nom- inated as the Republican candidate for Congress In the Seventh Minnesota Con- gressional district means little so far as that district is concerned, but will have a far reaching effect on any efforts to modify the prohibition enforcement law. When word was received that the Rev. O. J. Kvale, another bono dry advocate, had defeated Volstead for the nomina- tion little was thought of It until an ex- amination was made of tho majority membership of the Houso Judiciary Com- mittee. Then It was shown that with the expected continued Ilepubllcan majority in the House the next three ranking Re- publican members of this committee are all \wets.\ Representative George S. Graham (Pa.) ranked next to Mr. Volstead among the Republicans on the commit- tee, followed by Representatives Dyer (Mo.) and Walsh (Mass.). With Mr. Volstead put out of the race by the primary election. It would have made no difference In the organization of the next House of Representatives whether Mr. Kvale had been elected or not so far as the fhnlrmnnshlp of tho Judiciary Committee Is concerned. Hope for the wets is not altogether lost, how- ever, as the League is ex- ceptionally strong In the Seventh Minne- sota district, and if the-cou- decision stands-Mr- . Vclstoad may fail of election In November and a wet will succeed to tho chairmanship of the House Judiciary Committee.

They realize the whole pur- pose of this silence on the direct issue Kan effort to satisfy everybody and is designed to pacify In the cities and wet States and lull the bone dry element in the Middle West Into a feeling of security, real or fancied. Along the Eastern seaboard Democrats working In the Cox campaign are in- dustriously trying to spread the propa- ganda that Cox was selected because at heart he is a wet and that the Eastern delegates 'to the San Francisco conven- tion paid little attention to the platform, desiring only the nomination of Cox. who would lead the party and tha coun- try out of the Sahara of present times. In the West the idea of the campaign workers is to point out the defeat of tHo wet plank as an evidence of Democratic intentions to enforce the prohibition amendment to the utmost. They are trying to make it appear that Cox is standing on this platform and seeking election on It, and that he cannot get r.way from this pledge If he wants to. Republicans, however, are prepared with a wealth of fact to show the voters of the West Just what Democratic plat- form planks mean to the nominee after he is elected. Mr. Wilson, It will be shown, evinced a complete disregard of many of the planks of the Baltimore convention In 1912, notably the ono pledg- ing Democratic Presidents to one term of office. Mr. Wilson In fact disre- garded this plank so much that he was sitting at home here somewhat expec- tant of his own name coming to the top and being skimmed off as the candidate this year when the San Francisco pot was boiling not long ago. Tho Cox plan of silence, giving assur- ance to everybody concerned on both sides of the booze question, Is likely to be rudely Jarred on Thursday, when the Anti-Salo- League of America Intends to go on record as to their opinion of Mr. Cox. The Democratic candidate's record is being gone Into carefully, and tho opinion of the Anti-Saloo- n League Is expected to force some sort of definite statement from Mr. Cox which Is ex- pected to prove highly embarrassing to the Democratic aspirant either In the East or the West1 FOUR LOSE LIVES IN JERSEY CITY FIRE Mysterious Explosion in Sa- loon Starts Blaze.

Staff Correspondent of Til Bun and New Yoik Hziaid. Copyright, 1010, by Till 8is AND N'CW YVIK HUALD. Paris, July 20. Premier Alexandre Mlllerand threw a bomb into the So- cialist camp this afternoon when he told the Chamber of Deputies that France had decided to aid Poland to the limit of French resources If the Bolsheviki continued their present at- titude, which the Premier characteri- zed as of \unusual impertinence,\ as shown In Moscow's reply to Great Britain's ormlstlco proposals. After his address before-th- e Cham-.be- r. In which he discussed not only the proposed armistice between the Poles- - and-th- e Bolsheviki, but the Turkish, Syrlan,flhd tperman ques- tions' and the Spa decisions, the Dep- uties expressed their confidence in the Government by a vote of 420 to 152. rrcmler Mlllerand told how Pre- mier Lloyd George took the initiative In trying to bring the Bolsheviki to reason by suggesting ar armistice be- tween them and the Poles. The Pre- mier continued: \The Soviet dla not want to listen to conversation. That is their affair. We will talk with them the day they have assumed the form of a regular Gov- ernment. \Moreover the French Government has advised the Soviet through the French Embassy In London that If a pacific solution of the Polish .question is not reached Poland will be defended by France anJ her Allies with every possible means and in every possible form- - France will keep her word the same as England.\ From tho RUht and Centre came thunderous applause, mixed with ex. clamations from the Left factions.

Mlllerand de- clared. He asserted that the policy of the Governmei't with regard to Germany was not contrary to the treaty of Ver sailles : that' Franco did not want to de- molish the German Empire, but rather to aid in building up the prosperity of States which hail been liberated from the Prussian yoke. Regarding reparations from Germany, M. Mlllerand said that the financial ar- rangements would be based on recogni- tion of Germany's obligations, paid In annual instalments, which would have to be discounted, and the emission of loans, from which Germany would receive ad- vances. The question of reimbursement of the Allies for the expenses of tho Rhlneland occupation, ho said, would bu held In abeyance until the advice of the United States had been obtained. \Finally wo will Kot for France. I am confident, the reparations which so far are only promises and engagements, but which we are transforming Into reali- ties,\ he said. The. Premier referred to France's coal supply and said that she would receive a total of 4.200,000 tons a month, of which 1,600, 000 tons will come from Frerrh mines, 1,500,000 tons from Ger-mr.n- y, 750,000 tons from Great Britain, 250,000 tons frqra the United States and li'O.OOO tons from Belgium. He placed the average French coal requirements at 5,800,000 tons a month... neprlaal If Germans Fall. France's real gain In the Spa confer- ence, the Premier said, was In obtaining there sanction of allied reprisals if tho Germans failed to live up to the coal and other provlelons of the treaty. These reprisals will be unchained automatically in case of Infractions by the Germans of the treaty terms. He asserted that France had no Inten- tion of 'nixing Ir.

However, France, he said, would soe to it that each German Stato wtruld have a chance to develop without hlndranco by Prussian Influence.

TRICK SAIL AIDS AFTER ACCIDENT Lipton Promptly Dubs 'Table- cloth' Which Saves Day 'Shamrock Puller.' HENRY FORD TAKES HAND Has Installed 'Noiseless Motor' on Challenger, but It's a Secret. By a Staf Correspondent of Tin Sex and Xrw Yoik Hnao. On Board Stbam Yacht Victoria, July 20. When Shamrock IV, tore her balloon Jib Just after crossing the starting lino In 's race to lift the America's Cup there was a general feeling of sympathy for her mishap, which every yachtsman knew would badly handicap her on the reach to the port buoy and Imperil her chance for victory. Skipper Burton sought vainly to sail under mainsail and spinnaker, but his spinnaker sagged badly and Resolute's advantage Increased. And then came the big surprise of the race In fact, of all races ever sailed for the Cup. X little triangular sail, which looked from the flotilla like a folded tablecloth, was broken out forward. It scarcely reached half way to her midmast; it was n joke a \trick\ sail. At the same moment Shamrock broke out her Xo. 1 Jib topsail and proceeded presently to overhaul tho Resolute; wearing her conventional balloon rig.

ALDniDGE. Shamrock loosened yesterday an- other peg which has been holding the America's Cup,here since 1851, and by winning has two victories to her credit. Sho needs one more race to carry away the famous trophy, and Resolute, the defender, must win three straight to keep It here. The race, over a triangular course of 30 miles, was sailed In a fltful wind, which was from west by north at the start nnd ended coming from west southwest. There was no windward work at all, but Instead there were two legs of reaching and ono of a run with spin- naker. ' Shamrock won by 9 minutes 27 sec- onds elnnsed time, or 2 minutes 26 se- - onds after the allowance of 7 minutes 1 second had been deducted. On tne first leg ofter a woful start Shamrock beat Resolute 3 minutes 35 seconds actual time. On the second leg she added 4 minutes 54 seconds to the flrst gain, and on tho third leg she outsailed the Resolute by 58 seconds. It was a most Interesting race to natch but a very hard one to sail, be- - causo It was a battle of nerves and keen watching. On each yacht the many different puffs of air coming first on way and then another were noiea, anu then the skinners' had to Judge which was the better move to make. Skipper W. P. Burton on tho Shamrock retrieved himself and sailed the yacht In a mas terly way, and, after overcoming a handicap at the start, the Shamrock overhauled the Resolute. Then, getting the luck that usually comes to the lead- ing yacht, he succeeded In getting across the finishing line well In the lead. The Resolute, too, was sailed well, as she always (a. No serious errors of Judg- ment or of handling were made. She wan outlucked with the wind, but that Is a fortune of war In yacht sailing. It was a surprise to the maiority wno watched the contest the Shamrock did so well In what was generally termed Resolute weather, but the extra sail on tho Shamrock told well for her and ill for the defender. When the yachts reached the Ambrose .Channel lightship the wind had died down considerably. It had blown Itself out during the early morning, and some wiseacres declared It would be no race. The sea was smooth, but the ocean roll coming from the south southeast was longer than It had beeri'jn past races. Each vacht was in the nlnk of condition. Tho more Shamrock sails the better eho seems to get, showing that she was not In shape when the series began. Reso- lute's sails, which had beentecut, also fitted well, and the little boat little compared with the challenger was tho centre of admiration by all. Designer Nicholson had elected to let Shamrock carry her big club topsail. Itls taxed In measurement because of Its size, and the allowance to tho Resolute was 7 minutes 1 second, a big handicap to overcome. The course was signalled at 11;40 o'clock and the tug was sent off to lay the turning marks. The flrst leg waa south southeast: the next leg west by north, and the third northeast half east It possible the first leg of a tri- angular race la laid to windward, but Continued on Second Page, \Trick\ 'i mm 11 LIPTON'S HOPES NOW RUN HIGH Feels Justified in Expecting Victory, He.

The first thing Sir Thomas Lipton did when he knew that beyond all doubt his yacht had won the sec- ond race in the series to lift the Amer- ica's Cup was to make a littlo speech to his friends on board the Victoria, not about winning but about American sportsmanship. \I have sailed yachts In Germany, France, Ireland, England and Italy,\ Iih said, ''but I never have met any; where in tho world better, cleaner and more honorable sportsmen than here In tho United States. I have won more yachting prizes abroad, I sup- pose, than any man In Europe nnd I've got the biggest collection of cups you over saw, but I would swap tho whole bloomln' lot for that tuppence ha'penny one you have over here.\ \What are ,you going to put In It, Sir Thomas?\ some one asked. \Cham- pagne?\ \Dewar's7'' suggested some one else. Lord Dcwar, one of the Baronet's oldest friends, grinned cheerfully. \Tea said Sir Thomas, beamlne-- . In England thev call thtm \Ten Tom\ und \Whiskey Tom.\ \I have good hopes I'll lift the Cup this time,\ continued tho smiling chal- lenger, getting back to the subject near- est his heart. \I feel Justified In having good hopes by 's sailing. .1 think I am going to win. \I would like to say I started this morning as usnal. hoping to be fortunate and win, but yachting Is like everything else In the way of sport; there's no certainly, and if there was It would be no pleasure to me. The greatest ambition and pleasure of my life Is to see the best boat win. \I've been at this twenty-on- e years, nnd I hope to have my ambition, fulfilled in the next race, but what I hope more Is thnt good, fair winds will give an equal chince to each boit.\ No onc'who heaid Sir Thomas say it could have mistaken the depth o his sincerity. When the race ended there was a friendly riot on the Victoria's decks and Sir Thomas was the centre of It. It could not have, been more realistic If It had been staged for the movies. As a matter of fact, the cinema men did get most of It. Sir Thomas was patted and pushed about All \the pretty young women on the boat Insisted on having their pictures taken with the baronet's arm, in fatherly fashion, about their waists. One enthusiastic miss kissed him In the exuberance of her emotion. When ho waa naked to tell the news- papermen what he thought of tho race Sir Thomas said: \I'm Just a looker on, but Nicholson and Burton his designer and skipper were the real means of the race being won .\ Sir Thomas Dewar, thinking modesty had gone fnr enough, no doubt, got up to say n word, for his friend. \There will be more people hern cele- brating LIpton's, victory than there will be In England, because there are more people here,\ he said. \One thing tho people will say, he's a good sport; he stuck It out twenty-on- e years. He's an Institution. Sir Thomas means to divorce the cup from the New York Yacht Club and marry It himself.\ Challenger Overcomes Han-ilicn- p and Wins by 2 Min. 20 See.

Sir Thomas LIpton's green challenger, Shamrock IV., won yesterday a clean-c- ut victory over the defending yacht Resolute, In weather conditions which presented a wide variety, ranging all the way from light airs, like those of Saturday, to a piping nine knot breeze, In which tho rivals ran over the flnal leg of the raco to the finish line, the Lipton craft distanced the Herreshoff yacht. In the light zephyrs sho took tho lead, nnd In the faster reaching and running of the later hours she either maintained or Increased it. Shamrock tiow has won two races of the three necessary to lift the cup. She will have her chance y to clinch the victory, for nt the close of yesterday's race both yachts hung out the code signal letter D, signifying their readiness to continue the strug- gle without nn Intervening day. A victory for her y will be final. One for Resolute wi'.l protract tho duel. But unless cither of the sklpt pers should object every day hereaftor k will be a racing day except Sunday. Either contestant at will, however, may have the privllegq.tf a \day .between races for renovation, recuperation or till y.'iA \though Shamrock crossed the finish lino 10 minutes and 6 seconds ahead of Resolute, the challenger won, because of tho American's time allowance, by tho scant margin of 2 minutes 26 seo-on- ds in. a thirty mile race. Cnptnln llurton Vindicated. Never before In the history of the famous cup had a foreign yacht beaten the American defender except In In- stances like that of last Thursday, when the latter came to grief through some accident to rigging or gear. Until tho present series of racs even that mishap had not occurred since the race of 1871, nearly fifty jears ago. In that jear the second of the thirteen contests was sailed. The challenger was Mr. Ashbury's schooner yacht Livonia and the defend- ing craft was the schooner Columbia, predecessor of the famous sloop of a .later date which bore proudly the same name. Tho Livonia had one race of tha series marked to her credit when ths Columbia broke her Bteerlng gear. If Capt. William P. Burton, skipper of Shamrock 1V needed any vindica- tion In the oyea of Sir Thomas Lipton he had it yesterday To use a phrajo fatilllaV In baseball and pugilism, ha \came back\ with promptitude and pro-cUl- Nobody criticised his handling of the British pet yesterday. ' Another marked feature of the day was lhat in conditions which, down to the final leg of the triangle, were strik- ingly similar to those of Saturday, tha two yachLi presented u complete rever-r- al of form. The wiseacre who have been reiterating that Rolute could eislly distance her rival in a drifting match had nothing to say when they saw the Royal Ulster champion ghosting away In the daintiest kind of zephyrs and showing Skipper Chnrles Francis 2d tho color of her taffrall, a chastening spectacle which he was not destined to lose sight of during the rest of the day. Sklper'n Wife n Mnncot Now. Mrs. Burton als.i, who has been un gallantly referred to by some critics u tlough she were In some fort a roorfoo. occupied yesterday her accustomed p'.aca close by the wheel, doing i'ut as timer for her husband. The lingllslin.en, who are offering odds now on the cun's going across the Atlantic, were smlllnclv to her ve.Uerdav as Shamrock's mafcot. Sir Thomas L'.pton, long disciplined by successive defeats to suppress any dis- play of emotion, could not conceal his delight as he stood on the bridge of the steam yacht Victoria and saw his \Irish Sweetheart\ como into her own after a clean race, In which nothing was \broken\ save some of the hearts aboard tho American difspder and perhaps on the decks of other craft of the New York Yacht Club. He had not won this tlmi ty what he called a fluke, and the sports manlike irisn naronei wns nappy. .Never outwardly exuberant, he contented him- self with saying he believed the showing Shamrock had made In this effort Justi- fied Mm In '.lis hope that he was to lift the Cup this time. ! ICar'ler In the day, \when the result ' whs not so well established, 5lr Thomas , ' hnil said- - \I stt.rt?rt out this mornleg, ',n!
