Plans for Taft's Swing Through Ohio. Roosevelt to Lengthen Stay in that State-National Com

By WALTER HARPER

Washington, May s-(Special )--Oscar Underwood was the recipient of many congratulations today on his continued success in the south. He received many callers at his office in the capitol and also received letters and telegrams. Most of the members of the Mississippi dele gation called in person to congratulate him on his success in that state yester- day
 MT. Underwood is greatly pleased with the situation. He feels that the ndorse- nent of his heme state and the four states surrounding places him in fine position in the running.
 Eyes on North Carolina
 All eyes are now on North Carolina where primaries will be held next Monday week. The Underwood people are work ing hard in that state and many encour- aging reports are being received. Senti- m t is growing strong for Underwood ahl those in charge of the campaign there are confident that he will win.
 The indorsement by large majorities of the southeastern states has given big impetus to the Underwood movement and IS having the effect of bringing him into more prominence in the north and east. He is now considered everywhere as a most formidable candidate with a positive following that compares well with that of any of the other candidates.

Mississippi Majority Decisive

Jackson, Miss, May so. W. Under wood defeated Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey by decisive majority in the democratic presidential primary held in Mississippi Tuesday.
 Not more than 25 per cent of the regis tered vote was boiled. A spirit of apathy and decided lack of interest was manifest throughout the state except in the few towns and counties that offered candi- dates for district delegates to the Balti- more convention.
 Returns are coming in very slowly. In numerous instances even the election of fleets did not feel elffficient intereat in the event to make public the returns and figures will not be known until reported to the county executive committee during the latter part of the week
 The figures in hand show that Under wood has carried at least 65 of the 7S counties in the state, and the number may be increased by the official figures The democrat state executive committee will meet he. Monday. Until that bo6y reports several contests for district dele- gates will be in suspense.

FRESHMEN ATTEMPT ID INVOLVE OTHERS Publishers Charge They Want National Strike WAS VERY QUIET DAY Mailers' Union Refuses to Strike in Sympathy Misleading State
 ments in Efforts to Gain
 Sympathy

Chicago, May s.-Apparently beaten in their efforts to tie up Chicago news papers, officers of the Web Pressmens 2 union, according to a statement issued by the publishers tonight. have started .. increment For nationwide strike o' newspaper pressmen. This and charges by the publishers that the pressner were using misleading statements IT efforts to gain sympathy were the prin- cipal developments today in the situa- tion.
 Although policemen remained on guard at newspaper offices and many news stands and accompanied distribu- ting wagons about the city, today was the quietest since the trouble began. More papers were distributed and sold today and the publishers said they ex- peeted normal conditions to prevail be- fore the end of the week.
 Publishers Statement
 The statement issued by the pub fishers follows in part
 The newspaper strike in Chicago shows evidence of approaching dissolu- llOI TWO DOuy DIOWS were BlNtn lO the effort to tie up the entire industry when the mailers' union by a vote of nearly 100 to 6 refused to go on a sympathetic strike and when the elec- trotypers' union despite appeals from members of the stereotypers' union de- clined even to vote on the proposition.
 The officers of the pressmen S union have started a movement to in- volye the entire country in the af- fray. Realizing that they have lost in Chicago, they have been sending tele- grams, letters and verbal communica : tions from New York to Texas and from Vermont to the Pacific coast ordering s the pressmen to get ready for sympa- thetic strikes. They have also made appeals to various unions for financial assistance. In some cities a small a mount was voted, in other cities they were told that the unions would no, assent to assessments and that the Chi cago pressmen would have to fight the battle themselves.
 The orders for general strike con- tained many misleading statements They alleged that the American News paper Publishers association at its re- cent meeting in New York had started a war of extermination on union labor in the newspaper offices of America. It was also set forth that fund of s150,- coo had been raised for this purpose and that the Chicago trouble was the first blow in the campaign
 No such fund was raised and no sucn war on unionism was contempla ted' MT Ebert H. Baker of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, president of the American Newspaper Publishers association, to- night took no cognizance of the situ- etion.
 Members of the local typographical u:.ion held meeting to consider the pressmen's troubles late tonight bu; adjourned until Sunday without taking action.
 International President Lynch attend ed the meeting and. in a speech urged members to refrain from any action looking toward a strike.
 Mir Lynch declared that he would not stand for any evasion of the con tract which the printers held with the publishers, regardless of what the pressmen and. stereotypers had done or planned to do.
