DRAMATIC CLIMAX
TO NEGOTIATIONS
IN LABOR DISPUTE
President Appears Before
Congress and Asks for
Legislation
ITO SAFEGUARD LIFE AND
INTEREST OF NATION
Pionts Out Things Necessary
to Prevent Disaster Now
and in Future
By Robert J. Bender.

Omitted Press staff correspondent.)
Washington, Aug. 29.-As a dramatic
climax to his unprecedented negotia-
tions to avert the most disastrous labor
war that ever threatened the United
States, President Wilson this afternoon
appeared before a joint session of con
gress and urged legislation "to safe
guard the life and interest of the ma
tion.o
He said he urged the legislation "not
in haste or merely as means of meet
ing a present emergency, but as per-
manent and necessary additions to the
law, suggested, indeed, by circumstances
we had hoped never to see, but impera-
tive as well as just if such emergencies
are to be prevented in the future"
He recommended:
Immediate provision for the enlarge
ment and administrative reorganization
of the interstate commerce commission,
enabling the committee to deal with
the duties now devolving upon it with
promptness and thoroughness which
are with its present constitution and
means of action practically impos-
sible.'
Establishment of an eight hour day
as the legal basis alike of work and of
wages in the employment Of all railroad
employees engaged in operating trains in
interstate transportation. The time for
the institution Of this law is to be de-
termined by congress. The president
suggested no date.
Wants Full Investigation.
Authorization Of the appointment by
the president of commission to study
results in the application Of the EIGHT
hour day to railroad operation, alike
for the men and for the roads; the in
yestigators to report TO congress at the
earliest possible date but without recon-
mendation as to legislative action.
Approval by congress of consideration
by the interstate commerce commission
OF freight rate increases to meet such
additional expenditures by the roads as
are rendered necessary by adoption OF
the eight hour day.
Amendment OF the federal law which
provides for the mediation, conciliation
and arbitration of such controversies as
the present by adding q provision that
in case methods of accommodation now
provided should fail. full public inves-
tigation shall be instituted and complet-
cd before n strike or lockout may law
fully be ATTEMPTED.
Empowering the president in case Of
military necessity to take control Of
such portions and rolling stock of the
railway sas NAV be required for mill
tarv use and to operate them for mill
tary purposes with authority to draft

Effect Of Message
On Pending Strike

Washington, Aug. 29.-The
railroad brotherhood leaders in
dicated this afternoon after the
presidents speech that it had ..
no way altered their determine
ton to strike Monday unless
satisfactory agreement is
reached with the managers.
The thirteen general chair
men of the railway brotherhood
remaining here to deal with the
strike situation will leave for
home Immediately, it was an
nounced late this afternoon.
Only the four brotherhood pres
idents will stay in the city and
they plan to direct the strike
from here.
Railway presidents took the
opposite view.
"The strike is off for the
present. - some of them said.
'iThe brotherhood men will not
dare call strike while congress
is threshing the matter out"
That the legislative program
outlined by the president could
be put through congress in two
days, possibly is one, provided
the joint interstate commerce
committee can get together i'm
mediately without serious diff
ferences, is the belief Of House
Leader Kitchin.

HUGHES ENJOYING
VISIT TO MOUNTAINS
With Mrs. Hughes Takes
Some Hard Climbs in
COlorado's Big Park
By Perry Arnold

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Estes Park, Colo, Aug. 29.-The lure
of the mountain trails caught Charles
Il. Hughes today. With Mrs. Hughes
by his side in gown of creamy linger
lie and white pumps, he essayed pre-
cipitous cliff which iuts downward
from the. Falls river highway in Colon
ial Park to view Chasm Falls. The
stiff climb down the rock strewn gorge
was entirely impromptu, as Mrs.
Hughes explained, ruefully pointing to
her dainty pumps.
81 do not usually do mountain
climbing in these Shoes" she said as
she caught her husband s hand and
was helped from one great boulder to
another.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes spent the day.
motoring, playing golf and in strolling
about the lesser hills in the vicinity of
Estes Park. In the long ride up the
magnificent roadway which rises a
sheer 1000 feet within four miles, Mr.
Hughes discovered some "teeth ~ in
Meeker's s Point, the mountain shield
ing the continental divide, tnat al
most tempted him to start climbing
despite his modish sack suit and new
russell shoes. He restrained himself,
however, until Chasm Falls was reach
ed when his penchant for overcoming
obstacles overeame him.
The guests of the Stanley hotel are
already getting accustomed to seeing
Mr.. Hughes lounging easily in big
rocking chair, on the veranda, discuss
ing attitudes and mountain climbing
with other, enthusiasts.
He mislaid his hat today and there
was hurried search for it before he
could go out and discuss general, but
not "political" conditions, with Will
liam Allen White, who lives here dur
inc the summer.

HOW MEN LOOK AT
PROPOSED PLANS
Of LEGISLATION
Must Get Laws In Operation
Before Monday Says
One Leader
NO One HAS AUTHORITY
TO WITHDRAW ORDER
Brotherhood Will Submit De-
cision Today Rejecting
Railroad Proposal
By Carl D. Groat.

Omitted Press staff correspondent.)
Washington, Aug. 2G.-if President
Wilson plans to halt threatening rail
road strike through law similar to the
Canadian disputes act, he must get it
passed before Monday. Otherwise the
brotherhood leaders will go ahead with
their plans for walking out Labor
day.
This intimation came very broadly
from the brotherhood camp today and
the intimation is supported by the ma
ture of the Canadian law. The law
prevents lockout or strike being
started during a given period. Hence,
if the strike is already in effect Mon
day, the law will be imperative in the
view OF brotherhood leaders.

To Reject Proposals.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The four
brotherhood chiefs and the "a members
of the executive committee today
agreed to reject the proposal of the rail
road presidents as made to President
Wilson yesterday. No formal announce
mcnt was made, but it is known this
action was taken.
"We. will submit our decision to the
president tcday," said President Lee,
OF the Brotherhood of Tranmen.
The morning meeting heard the re-
port of the four leaders on their con
ference with the president last night,
a. which they told him their final pur-
pose. though they did not report specif-
ically ON the railway presidents pro-
posals.
Cannot Change Order.
The brotherhood heads explained to-
day they have no authority to rescind
the strike for September 4. The resolu
ticn, adopted Sunday, before the GAO
representatives left for home, they said,
gave them authority to fix the date and
hour of the strike "unless prior to the
day and hour so fixed, notice shall have
been received that the proposal of the
president of the United States, accepted
by us August IS, has been accepted by
the railroad companies"
II is understood that the executive
committee OF "a, to whom full powers
were delegated by the GAO, could grant
such authority to the four leaders, but
that it has thus far withheld it.
Brotherhood leaders feel that Presi-
dent Wilson, proposal for eight hour
day laws will be a greater burden to
the railroads than to the men. Under
il, a vast number of nOn.uniOn men
would automatically become eight hour
men and while the brotherhood. men
would get only eight hours-an no in
crease in pay they believe the
economic pressure caused by such a svs-
tenn would weigh more heavily on the
railroads than granting the president IS
demands.
"Misery loves company" said a
prominent leader "The railroads
reason for refusing the mems demands
is purely economic; our reasons contain
humanitarian elements, so if the rail
roads must include in the eight hour
day the men whom they call the down
trodden eighty per cent, they will be
suffering 90 times to our one. "
Great Throttle in Labor.
President Wilson s other proposal
creating law similar to the Canadian
disputes act is generally opposed by the
brotherhoods. They call il "the great
est throttle on labor' ever devised.
"While the law provides that no ac-
tion shall be taken by either side, pend
ing investigation, said leader, "ex-
perience in Canada shows that capital
always has taken advantage Of the in.
vestigation period to prepare for a
strike. The Canadian act is named for
Lemieux. We have been 'Lemieux' too
marv times "
Whether the brotherhoods will fight
the law provided it is passed before in
auguration of strike is coniectural.
81 cannot discuss the law, for it is a
question when such law would be
operative" said A. b. Garretson,
spokesman for the brotherhoods.
"I don't know whether it would be
effective"
"What would happen IL the law were
passed about Monday noon after q
strike was started?" the leader was
asked.
"Well I should say the men would
have plenty Of leisure time to consider
it,"

PLEA FOR HE FREE
 IMPORTING OF FRUIT
Associated Press)

LONDON, Mar 3.-A plea for the rec importation of fruit has been sent to the cabinet in a resolution by the executive committee of the Vegetarian Federal Union. It is based on the ground of health, and says:
 Any restriction of the present i'm oortatiOn of fresh and dried fruit is to be strongly deprecated as tending to cause the lack of essential neces- saries of healthy life; as food, the very nectar and ambrosia of the people; as physic, better than all the pills and bottoms of the pharmacopoeia; and in either case, of supreme value for the we'll being of the community at large"
 The resolution deprecates any at ,empt to shut down on the free entry # fruits as false economy. It says hat such an attempt will be resented by the common sense of the country, particularly by the poor, whose chil- iren's interests are directly con cerned

BRITISH DYES 60.
 STARTS BIG FACTORY
Associated Press)

LEEDS, Eng, Mar. 3-The direc- tors of the British Dyes Company, which hopes to supplant the German dye makers in the production of ami line colors, are pushing the construc- tion of their mammoth factories on the 250-acre site allotted htem by the British government at Huddersfield. A considerable part of the new works will be in operation during the spring.
 In the meantime the production of vegetable dyes in Great Britain has greatly increased, and aniline dyes are being made at home in smaller fac tories and imported in unprecedented quantities from Switzerland. AS Eng land formerly sent the raw materials of the aniline dyes to Germany to be returned to. her as the finished pro- duct, so now she is sending these raw materials to Switzerland, and many British dye users have signed con- tracts to continue the import of Swiss dyes even after the war is over.

a young cavalry officer. His scheme encouraged officers and men to volunteer for this dangerous service by assur- ing them of promotion, hon. ors, and money rewards, care being taken to frame the con- ditions so that only the best men of any rank had a chance of getting into the new branch of service. One of the conditions was that mo- thing whatever was to be pub lished of the exploits of these chosen, and the only occasion when this rule has been brok- en was when the author of the scheme captured two Ger man generals and their whole staff and escort in the PinSk marshlandS,
 The work has been going on without intermiSsio1 thru out the winter over the W hole northern front. The enejny has never known q quiet night anywhere within fifty miles of his front trenches, and in some sections this feel ing of threatened security was made to extend a hun dred miles into the territory occupied by the Germans.
 Storehouses were fired, am munition trains exploded, trains derailed, bridges dyna- nited, telegraph wires clt, of- f.cers and dispatch ri1els way laid, villages filled with ex- hausted sleeping men were attacked or set on fire-this was the kind of exploit that the Russian guerillas kept up continuously. Its nearest counterpart is found in the guerilla activity which so har- assed the northern troops during the American Civil War, except that the Russian scheme has been far more complete.
 The Germans at first had sought remedy in reprisals upon the scanty remaining population of the occupied districts, but, after a short time they began to realize that this was a mistake, as it only added to the numbers of their intangible foes.

GREAT PRECAUTIONS
 TAKEN AT SUEz CANAL

CAIRO, Egypt, Mar 3.-Egypt is still very much in the dark as to what is going on along it's frontier. Rumors of the most sensational kinds are cir culated, but there can be no doubt that he military authorities are running 10 risks as far as the defense of the anal is concerned.
 The Canal Zone was long ago made ! restricted area ill the most restrict 3d military sense. Any person desir-
 ng to travel by railway to any station within the Canal Zone is required to obtain special permit which is only obtained after searching inquiries on he part of the military officials. The permit may be either temporary-fo )ne trip only-or permanent-for such as require to pay frequent visits to Port Said or Suez for business req sons. Any permit is revocable on the Instant at the will of the officials.
 In the case of foreigners, application must first be made to the proper con- 5ular authority, which is then forward ed to the Public Security Department or investigation. Before returning
 rom any place in the canal zone, the must obtain a return permit, stamped by the Governor of Pot Said or Suez or the Mamur of Is- malia. Similar restrictions apply to persons residing within the canal zone and desirous of travelling to any sta tion outside of it.
 In many ways the canal zone is ideal ior defensive purposes. The railway runs along the west bank of the canal from Port Said for sixty or seventy miles. There has been intense activity throughout the entire canal belt thru put the winter.

 BOOM ON THE LAKES

CHICAGO, Mar 3-The shipbuilding industry on the Great Lakes, after ly- ing dormant more or less for half a decade, is enjoying a revival of pros perity, according to reports from the shipyards at and near Cleveland, o., Detroit, Mich, Toledo, O., Duluth, Wis. Buffalo, N. Y, Chicago and smaller Great Lakes ports
 The opening of the Panama Canal, the activities of submarines and the healthy increase in exports are con- sidered the immediate causes of the shipbuilding boom. The claim is made, without denial from the build CTS, that old ships and vessels now un- der construction are bringing better prices than in many years.
 This boom will bring millions of dol ars of business to the dozen or so of shipbuilding companies, has created new work for hundreds of men and al ready has caused the rebuilding of old yards and the planning of several new ones.
 The demand is strong for both lake and ocean vessels, and only the inabili- ty of the builders to give assurance of delivery of the ships by 1917 stands in the way of even heavier orders. All foreign interests are prominent among he buyers

GUERILLA WARFARE IS FOSTERED BY THE
 RUSSIANS

When the history of Rus sian guerrilla warfare on the northern front in Russia dur ing the past winter is written, it will prove a fascinating and remarkable story. Although little has appeared about it in the press, it has accomplished some important results, and the general staff has ire quently commended it in the highest terms. The people speak of it as "our little war.
 Through the long winter months, when the regular op- erationS are impossible, the Russians have kept at this guerilla activity with the idea at wearing down the Ger mans and undermining their morale.
 Late last autumn schemes for the conduct of guerilla warfare were invited for the army, while it was still en- gagged in the long and steady withdrawal before the Ger man invasion. Every smart young officer hastened to draw up his ideas of the best means of wearing down the enemy. The plan finally adopted was one proposed by
