tending the conference lent increased
interest. Incidentally the men at

Indiana, and Governor-elect Wood
row Wilson of New Jersey, all Of
whom will be prominently mentioned
in connection with the presidency.
Most of the time of the visiting

receptions and dinners. A feature of
the entertainment was an automobile
trip to historic places. Tomorrow the
visitors will go to Louisville. All
shades of political opinions are rep
resented, republicans predominating
Governor-elect Wilson took 8
scholarly slap at new nationalism in
addressing the governors here. He
said: "To put the federal law behind
the great corporations would be tC
give them the right to dominate and
override local conditions. While
believe in the exercise of federal pow
ers whenever necessary for the com
mon benefit of the people, I dom
believe the invention of new fedora
powers is necessary or desirable"

Affects Wall Street.

New York. Nov. 29.-Wall street is
reflecting the fight for increased rates
by the railroads according to New
York business men who assert that
business conditions are being ma
nipulated to affect manufacturing
sentiment in favor of increased tariffs.
A few warnings have already been
seen on the market. The railroads
are extremely anxious to secure rate
increases. The money would first
come from the manufacturers but
doubtless the consumer would
pay in the end. The railroads want
their traffic to amount to $T5.OOO,-
900 more annually. The manufactur-
ers are unwilling the increase be af-
fected. The result is that the two
great business forces are fighting
against each other and Wall street Is
feeling the effect of the strife.

FRENCH woRKMEN UNEASY.
Strike Habit Spreads Even Among
Farm IabOrers

Farm Laborers.
Paris.-The Labor Bureau has is
sued the latest statistics this year,
which show that the number of
strikes is increasing with appalling
rapidity throughout France. The
French working man, as is proved
not only by the recent railway strike
but by conflicts all over the country,
is going through a period of great un-
rest
Whereas, there were only 93 strikes
in progress in September, in 1909,
there were 1913 this year. The statis-
tics for october will probably show a
similar increase over last years fig
ures.
A curious feature is that strikes
have extended even to agricultural la
borers, more than 20 having taken
place in the middle Of the harvesting
season. Another curious fact is the
long duration OF the conflicts. Some
of the strikes have been going on
more than six months.
