Agrees to Amend
Arbitration


Des Moines, Iowa, Sept 29.-Forget-
ting for a time his antagonism to
President Taft as standpatter. Unit
ed States Senator Cummins, progress
sive, acted as chairman of the recep-
tion committee on the arrival of Pres
ident Taft here today.

on arbitration before 1000 people.
He left on the noon train,
As they left the coliseum Senator
Cummins and Mr.. Taft engaged in
private debate.
Cummins objected to some provis-
ions in the arbitration treaty proposed
by the president, as being too vague
and suggested an amendment.
President Taft finally told him to
make a change to reserve all power
to the senate, in the treaty making
and he would accept it Senator Cum

The announcement further states
that ten thousand Federation System
members, employed on the Illinois
Central railroad will strike Monday,
The federation officials predicted to-
day that twelve thousand inorganic
ed employees will quit with the union
employees at the first call issue by
the federation officials. They further
state that at least fifty thousand mon
will have joined the strike by Mon
day night
1t is generally thought that the
strike will rapidly gain n proportions
and spread TO every railroad in the
western country within a very few
days.
a report has gained circulation to
the effect that other railway brother
hoods, have secretly entered into an
agreement, whereby they will refuse
to handle any freight or other cars
which have previously been handled
by strikebreakers, which it is expect
ed the railroad companies will import
for the purpose of taking the positions
vacated by the striking shopmen.
This is considered one of the most
dangerous features of the strike, as
It would Immediately show effect on
every railroad in the country and
might easily bring about the same
condition that prevailed in England
a few weeks ago during the indus
trial struggle in that country.
All members of the system of fed
Grated shopmen seem 10 be as unit
in the opinion that they will succeed
in tying up effectually the entire
Hartman system within a week s
time, by actually paralyzing the COM

The audience was delighted with
the pictures and as many familiar

Within a few moments after the de-
claration, Admiral Aubrey, command
ing ten Italian battleships before the
city of Tripoli, began landing the Ital-
ian army of more than thirty thous-
and men. from transports which had
been anchored few miles off the
coast since yesterday.
AS soon as the landing was COM
pleted, q portion of the italian fleet
got under headway and steamed
eastward and another westward, TO
blockade all ports and the entire
coast, to prevent any fillibustering
expeditions from landing supplies,
arms or men.
Another large naval force this af-
ternoon steamed out of the harbor of
Spezia, under sealed orders, and it is
generally believed that this fleet is
on its way to blockade and possibly

Under the foregoing caption the Salt Lake

make relative to the action of the house on the

charge different prices for articles on sale, ac-
eOrdng to the use to be made of The article

and not cost to the selling price, the aforesaid
free list shifts the discrimination back to
the manufacturer, and compels him to compete
with the world in making farmers implements
and tools, while being protected by the tariff
on other products of his make. This is viola
tive OF all economic principles, and is not in the
least likely to be agreed to either by the senate
the president.
The house demonstrated, however, in passing
the bill, that it is tirm y united body for leg
islatlve purposes; it sticks to its program and
puts through measures agreed on in caucus.
as agreed on. 1t is remarkable and further
proof of the disintegration of parties, that "A
republicans voted with the democrats to pass
this free list. 1t is even more remarkable that
the regular republican leader on the floor of
the house, Representative James r. Mann of H.
lnols should offer such amendments as he did
proposing free lead free iron ore and other
tarlf-freemg propositions. If Mr.. Mann offered
these amendments simply as subterfuges to ''put
the democrats in hole his action is explain
able; but certainly the republicans in all this
region will be startled on hearing that the lead
