1t is needless to say that the Alabama
delegation in Congress would all make

Gated at Birmingham.
"If the government decides to build
such a plant" said Senator Johnston.
''unquestlonably Birmingham is the place
for it, there we have the raw material
in greater abundance than anywhere else
and the iron to make the steel can be
produced at less cost.
Some senators have expressed an opln-

some point on the coast, but in such

Request Wilson to Inform
Them When the Board
Would Be Named
MANAGERS SUBMIT
A LIST OF DEMANDS
No Decision Reached as to Whether
"All Questions" Would Be Sub
mitted to ArbitratiOn-Erie's
Attitude Is Not Known

New York, July 16.-Possible com
of the dispute between the eastern rail-
roads and their conductors and train
men developed tonight when the con-
ference committee of managers sub
mitted a list of demands which they
insist must be arbitrated together with
the mems demands for increased wages.
The men announced they would issue
a reply tomorrow
Fears were expressed that this move
by the railroads might delay or even
prevent arbitration of the dispute un-
der the Newlands bill passed by Con-
gress and signed by President Wilson
yesterday.
The demands of the roads, as listed
in their statement, include a reduc-
tion of 20 per cent in the pay of all
brakemen on extra crew" trains in
states where the extra crew bill is a
state law The roads further ask that
all monthly guarantees to trainmen be
abolished and that in no case shall dou-
BILE compensation be paid. The railroads
insist also that the rates fixed and
awards made by the new arbitration
board to be appointed shall supersede
all rates. and rules now in effect.
Representatives of the $4,000 train
men and conductors who voted to strike
unless the Roads conceded their de-
mands but who through their leaders
agreed with the roads representatives
to ask for arbitration under the fed
eral law. declined to comment tonight
upon the new development as con-
cretely brought to the front by the
roads They announced, however, that
they would go into executive session
early tomorrow and issue a reply.

the eastern railroads and of their train
men ana conductors, In joint meeting here
this morning, formally ratified the agree
ment 10 settle their differences under the

CONGRESS MAY FOLLOW
SECRETARY'S ADVICE

1t is quite likely that Congress VIII
follow the recommendation of Senator
Daniels and order an early investiga-
ton of all the details of armor plate
manufacturing by concerns dependent
upon government patronage.
This will take some time. but II will
also give time for Birmingham to get
busy and prepare herself to show why
the government should build the plant
there instead Of some place on the coast.
Senator Ashhurst. who started the nves-
tigation, said today that he favored the
building of two plants. one on the Pa
cific coast and one on the Atlantic. He
admitted however, that he had not given
the question of the desirability of build
ing the plants where the raw material
was available andscheapest consideration.
Those familiar with the manufacture
of steel admit that Birmingham has
strong claims for recognition in case 1t
is finally decided that the government
will undertake the scheme.

IT'S IMPORTED

IT'S IMPORTED
l'We frequently buy what has been
imported simply because it has been
imported" says down-east editor. :
This is true, and it has something
to do with the high cost of living.
Take, for instance, such things as
wines, raisins, olives, prunes, fancy
sausages and fancier millinery. No
foreign country produces these
things in superiority to the American
product and yet when milady, or Mr..
Man, gives a spread" only the
things with the foreign label will do.
This is practically true, too, of the
whole list of canned and preserved
stuffs.
The handsomest costumes and
most lovely millinery are made right
here in America. They sell at lower
prices and contain as good material,
but the imported hat or dress will get
first choice simply because it is i'm
ported. The idea seems to be that
the thing is more stunning, more
valuable because it comes from a
long distance and, hence, bears
price that your neighbor cannot af-
ford. This sort of conceit, or pride
isn't confined to our women. Our
men carry load of it of their own.

Roosevelt used to disport himself,
along with Jimmy Garfield, Law
renee Murphy and other patriots who
could swing the racket, affords the
most just field for the study OF the
possibilities of the departure. White
trousers and skirts will take the
places Of the tights. The arms only
will be bare. The feet will wear ten
mis- shoes. A net, which, mayhap
may be stretched between the play
ers and the audience in case the
dance is bad, will be a part of the
stage property.
Before and behind this net the new
order will have the girlies and cho-
rus men dancing and whirling, 80

shins of those in. the immediate vi
cinity.

London Unable to Decide Wheth-

American Sensation.

LONDON. June 24.-Evelyn Nesbi'
Thaw's wild Bacchanalian dance at
the Hippodrome with Jack clifford is
The latest London sensation and one
of the most discussed ones that ever
agiated this much-enduring city.
The public is divided between ad-
miration OF the beauty of the dancer
and the grace and cleVerntss of her
dancing revel0 on the one hand, and
its amaZemCnt at her wild abandon,
embracings, posturings and her eX-
pressiOns of primitive emotion.
"A bally bold and devilish fasci-
natin' dance. y'know," is the apt COM
ment made by one enthusiastic club
man in the foyer after seeing the
young Americans performance This
criticism has been quoted right and
left and the phrase "bally bold" -
now heard wherever the Hippo
drome's latest hit is discussed
Mrs. Thaw has been giving out aes-
thetic and high-minded interviews
She denies exploiting her ThaW name
or her wide reputation merely to get
a vaudeville salary and says she re-
turned to the stage merely to support
herself and her baby. The public
was prepared to see something quite
decorus when she appeared on the
stage with Jack Clifford
The actual dance was a stunning
surprise. Mrs. Thaw and Clifford
whirled. embraced, separated and gall
loped about in frenzied emotion. The
girl, of course, is the feature. Cliff
ford while a wonderfully clever
dancer, is merely the lay figure. so
to speak, on which Mrs Thaws
dance is dTaped. The word "draped"
is expressive in this case. because
Mrs. Thaw clings to Clifford like ivy
to an oak in some parts of the dance
They embrace and are closely en-
tangled. Suddenly they dash apart
Then they speed together again
dancing madly all the while, whirling
and spinning in a veritable orgy Of
motion.
1t is about as barbaric and print
tive a dance and about as frank in its
emotional expression as any London
has gazed on yet

Veterans to Attend.

Assurance that sufficient money had
been appropriated to entertain every
veteran who desires to attend the
Gettysburg reunion was received by
Governor Brown Tuesday morning in
a telegram from Lewis f. Better,
secretary of the Pennsylvania Gettys-

At first II was thought that only
500 veterans from Georgia could be
entertained, but the telegram means
as many as can attend will be cared
for.
General A. ]. West, Of Atlanta, will
be in charge of the Georgia delega
ton. He has been active in the eff

From 500 and 700 Confederate vet
Grams from Georgia will make the

and art from the muscles Of the great

Wherefore the Russian speaks
with authority, and when that au-
thority says that each age has its
dance and that the dance takes its
color and its action from the rea!
doings Of the particular age, you may
be sure that you are getting no idle
chatter from a mere dreamer. It is
expert testimony
According to Nijinsld the dancer
must represent something The type
must be distinctive of something
that age is doing off the stage
Thus, there is to come the Rookie
Teller ballet, with the clammy finan-
cial part of the period in the far
background along with vivisection
and the discovery Of new and strange
germs. Rockefeller plays golf, so the
ballet will present Rockefeller by
getting gOlfy. 1t Is the Nijinski idea
that a chorus Of fairies wearing golf

rying sixty pounds of plumbers tools
