U. S. HITS BACK.
AT BLACKLIST.
Revenue Bill Begins
Retaliation Policy
on England.
From The Tribune Bureaul

Washington, Aug. 3'.-"Limited re-
taliaton" is the policy which this gov
ernment will hcnceforth pursue tow
ard Great Britain, it was stated au-
thoritatively today. A high admins
tration official said the Administration
"dcgpsired of obtaining any conces-
sions" by diplomatic means, and had
therefore somewhat reluctantly given
its approval to more stringent reme-
dies.
The first exercise of this power is IN
an amendment to the general revenue
bill passed by the Senate to-day. Sen
ator Ollie James, of Kentucky, an Ad-
ministration leader, introduced the
measure after comforting with Secre-
tary Lansing. II provides that the
United States may retaliate against
governments which exclude any AmeH-
can commodities from their markets
or from the markets of other countries
The last phase makes it apply to the
british blockade. The retaliation is
discretionary with the President, and
would consist in the exclusion of simi--
lar commodities from the United
States.
Kentucky's Plea Wins.
Senator James's immediate object IS
70 nIease the Kentucky tobacco grow
ers' who came to Washington in force
Monday to protest against the inter-
ruption of their foreign trade by Great
Britain. But the operation OF the law
NAV extend to hundreds of other conf
modities. and if exercised it would ad-
mittedly be powerful weapon against
the Allies, and might even bring them
President Wilson, his friends say, is
opposed to the principle OF retaliation
and consented TO it in the present IN
stance only at the earnest solicitation
of his political advisers. hentucKy,
though nominally Democratic is fast
being placed in the doubtful column py
many politicians. and the. refusal Oh
tbe Administration to heed the cry OF
the tobacco men would, 1t IS nelleVed'
have swung it definitely to Hugnes.
Ship Bill Means Row.
The amendment to the shipping bill,
which already has passed both houses,
gives the Secretary of the Treasury dis
cretionary power to refuse clearance
papers to ships refusing to take Amer
lean merchandise on other grounds than
lack of space. This amendment Is de-
signed to reach Allied vessels. which
will not accept the goods OF American
firms on the British commerciaf black
Both these provisions, it is known,
viii cause bitter feeling abroad and
may result in further restrictive meas
ures there.
II is believed in government circles
the American munition trade with the
Allies, which might be stopped by act
of Congress, furnishes a sufficiently
powerful weapon for use as a last
resort, to prevent the belligerents from
pressing a commercial war.

for Hughes.

lFrom stan Correspondent Of The Thbune.l
Lewiston, Me Aug. 3l.-The magic
Roosevelt personality turned Lewiston
from Democratic to Republican to-
night. Normally Democratic strong
hold, windows in every street were
Illuminated in honor of the Colonel,
and the audience ne addressed in he
City Hall auditorium was tremendous
and enthusiastic.
Lambastlng Wilson and voicing the
doctrine of Americanism that has
moved him since ne took up the cudgels
for Hughes, Colonel Roosevelt on the
stump was the Colonel Of the old days.
The neutrality of Pontius PLATE could
not be compared 20 the Wilson neutral
ity, he declared, because the Roman
gently suggested moderation to the
wrongdoers. Such a comparison, he
thought. would be unfair to PLATE.
With that the Colonel was off at the
old slashing gait. The whole career OF
Hughes, he said, was a guarantee OF
good faith. 1t was the Americanism OF
Hughes that had won him, said Roose'
Welt. and it was that which would win
the country for the candidate.
Wilson Found Wanting.
President Wilson, in the face of the
same issues, had been tried and found
wanting. he said. Platitudes were his
weapon against the strong and the
navy his weapon against such nations
as Hayti. The policy of Wilson he
described as an opiate to the spirit OF
idealism.
America as a nation" the Colonel
declared. "has been kept in position
Of timid indifference and cold selfish
ness. America, which sprang to the
succor of Cuba in 1898, has stood
silent spectator of the invasion OF Bel
oium. of the sinking of the Lusitania'
of the continued slaughter of our own
citizens by German submarines, and
Of the reign of anarchy, rapine and
murder in Mexico.
AT this moment Mr.. Wilson'S bugle-

A decrease of twenty-nine in the
number of new cases of infantile
paralysis and a decrease of one in
the number of deaths were shown in
the reports Of the Department of
Health yesterday. The new cases were
sixty and the deaths twenty-one.
Unless an order for further post
ponement is issued before September
II, the public schools of New York
will open on September 25. This was
decided yesterday afternoon at a con-
ference between Health Commissioner
Haven Emerson and the Medical Ad-
visory Board of the Department of
Health.
an view of the progress we are max
ing in the fight against the infantile
paralysis epidemic" said Commission
er Emerson, "it can be regarded as set
tied that the schools will open on the
25th. In order to be on the safe side,
however, | have notified the Board of
Education that there is a slight pos
sibility that a further postponement
may be necessary, in which case an
announcement will be made not later
than September II. 1t is the opinion
of the Department of Health and the
Medical Advisory Board that, unless
something unforeseen occurs, no such
announcement will be necessary.
"The position of the Department OF
Health is explained in the following
letter which have sent to the Board
of Education:
"'This department is definitely OF
the opinion that the public schools
should not open for pupils under six
teen years of age before Septem-
Der %.
Opening Date Practically Set.
while it is now our opinion that
it will be safe to open the public
schools on that date, it is possible
that a further postponement may be
deemed advisable if the epidemic
should subside less rapidly than we
expect. A definite decision regarding
this may be expected not later than
September H."
William G. Wilcox, president OF
the Board of Education, was also in
formed by Commissioner Emerson
yesterday that the Department OF

tion as early as September 18. Mr..

Executives Plan to Take
Fight on S-Hour Bill
to High Court.

Chicago, Aug. 3t.-Passage by Con-
eress OF the Adamson compromise
eight-hour bill probably would post
pone a trainmen's strike, but it would
not settle the question at issue, presi-
dents of three Western railroads de-
clared tonight, and it would be far
from satisfactory TO the railroads.
THE railroads would take no pre-
cipitate action if the bill were passed.
said Hale Holden, president Of the Chi
cago. Burlington & Quincy, but we
certainly will not allow an illegal law
to stand if we can help 1t.
'It is my understanding that the Su-
preme Court of the United States has
held recently in two cases that Con-
eress has absolutely no power to hx
wages. That is what the Adamson bill
amounts to. according to my under
standing. If it is passed it will only
postpone the issue"
Won't Settle the Matter.
Similar sentiments were expressed
by T.. p. Ripley. president of the Atch-
ison. Topeka g. Santa Fe, and H. r.
Kurrie, president OF the Monon.
.If the men accept the Adamson COM
nromise. its effect will probably be
that of postponing the strike" said
Mr.. Ripley, "but it will not settle the
matter. Such a measure might well be
satisfactory TO the men, as it gives
them what they are seeking-an eight
hour dav with ten-hour pay. 1t is not
satisfactory TO the railroads. Con-
press has no right TO pass such meas
ure."

Brotherhoods Stand Firm.

BrotherhOods Stand Firm.
While Congress leaders were mass
ing their forces to jam through this
bill before Saturday night, the ulti-
matum set by the four brotherhoods,
President Wilson again exerted his
personal influence to induce the union
chiefs to halt the execution of the
strike order until Congress had a
chance to act. After the Presidents
conference at the Capitol this morn
ing he called the four executives to
the White House and again pleaded
with them. His efforts were utterly
without avail.
"The President" announced Sec
retary Tumulty, when the brother
hood heads left, "has received no as
surances of any kind"
The President argued and pleaded
with the men for an hour. He told
them that they would lose the sup A,
port of the entire public if they took
precipitate action in the face of the
evident progress being made by Con-
gress. Austin B. Garretson, head Of
the Order of Railway Conductors.
and spokesman for the unions, said
tonight that the reply he had givep|
to the Senate Interstate Commafce
Committee, namely, that he %uld
not risk that his fair teord of
thirty years service tstfhe broth
erhoods should be sxtfched by the
stigma of traitor" was his answer
to all pleas to rescind the striks
order.
Bills Slightly Different.
There is but slight difference in the
bill introduced in the House this af-
ternoon and from that which will be
brought into the Senate in the morn
ing. The House bill provides for an
eight-hour basic pay day at the presen,
ten-hourly rate beginning December I.
The Senate bill as agreed upon tonight,
substantially the same as the House
measure, sets the date for January l.
but an agreement on this will be easy.
II was said that an attempt might be
made to force the passage Of the SEN
ate measure before tomorrow night,
too, but that is hardly probable.
