HILL LINES WILL LESSEN RUN
MING TIME ON ALL WEST
ERN LINES.
TO BETTER mail SERVICE
Change May Go Into Effect Sept. f2-
War Is On Between Hill Lines
And other Railroads.

Chicago. H.. Aug. 21.-Railroad
running from Chicago to Seattle will
be reduced to sixty two hours. ten
hours below the present schedule, as
tie first move in war declared up
IN ali other western and northwest
Itfn roads by James j. Hill of the
Great Northern. according to the
ttory in the Record-Herald. Passen-
Eer mall and express business will
be affected. One result will be the
finest through fast mail and express
|, .er run between Caicago. the mid
flewest and Puget Sound territory.
With this in view, the Burlington,
Great Northern and Northern Paei-
ilc roads have made proposition TO
The gostoffice department to put a
new fast mail train on service be-
tween Chicago and Seattle to make
the long run in sixty two hours. No
tice was served today by the Burling-
ton that. effective September IL. that
road would no longer observe the
Western Passenger train speed
agreement, but would reduce tae
running time of its main Chicago
| Denver train by two hours.
The proposition which Hill lines
have made with respect to the mails
was due largely to the fact that the
. Chicago-Milwauke and st. Paul
road will be In a position within two
| or three years to make fast time to
that territory and will no doubt go
nut after the mail carrying business.

AMERICAN LABOR LEADER n
DRAMATIC FIGURE IN
LABOR MEETING.
he IS EQUAL TO OCCASION
American Federation VIII Not Ally
Itself With the International
Federation Of Labor, Says
President Gompers.

Paris Aug. 30.-Samuel Gompers,
president o. the American Federation
Of Labor, was the dramatic center oi
the first days session of the sixth In
ternational trades unions congress,
when several European delegates
bitterly denounced what they claimed
to be the equivccal attitude OF the
American Federation with reference
to joining the international move
ment.
Gompers needed all his old-time en-.
ergy to repel the attack. He insisted
that the problems and policies OF
American trades unionism were SO in
terming,ed with American traditions
and ideas that Americans could ILL
spare the time to encounter the In
fiuence OF European leaders where
trades unionism tendencies were tenn
peramentally different. As an evi-
dence that the United States is anx-
Gom2ers introduced proposal favor
ing worldwide organization which
would defend the rights and inter.
ests OF all and create international
fraternity and solidarity.
The clash came over the question OF
the exact status of Gompers and tho
American Federation OF Labor In the
conference. Gompers explained tina.
for the present he was merely an au.
ditor but was ready to give his opin-
ions. One obstacle in the way Of af-
fliation, he said. was the feeling that
antagonism existed in Europe TO-
wards American trades unions. More
over, 1t was feared that American
workmen might be compelled to su.
bordinate their policies to those OF the
men knowing little or nothing about
American industrial conditions ard
problems.
Personally" he continued, Il have
no authority to pledge the affiliatioa
of the American Federation Of Labor,
but l believe that 1t will come In
time"
Gompers statement was received
coldly. Several delegates jumped to
their feet to protest. Hueoer, an
Austrian delegate, vehemently charac-
terized Gompers' explanation as .
mockery.
I'VE thank you for your opinions"
he said pointedly. but We do not
need them. Your policies may not
permit you to come to US. but one
day, American workmen, you VIII
| realize that your policies are erroa-
eous and you will see the necessity
of poining an international fedora
