that feature with President Wilson. Other reasons contributing to the delay included:
 Insistence of some democrats, in cluding Democratic Leader Kitchin, that instead of voting on the for eign affairs committee recommends tion to table Representative McLe- more's resolution there be reported a substitute requiring a straight vote on a warning resolution.
 Absence of many. democratic mem bers from Washington on eekend trips
 Pleas of Indiana democrats that no vote be taken before the Indiana primaries are held next Tuesday.
 The desire of many members for the longest possible delay in the hope that they never will have to go on record on the proposition.
 Doubt as to the temper of republi- can members
 Soon after the house convened to- day acting Chairman Pou announced that his committee had decided there should be no vote until Monday. Then Speaker Clark added to the perpleXi- ties of those in charge of the presi- dents fight by announcing he would not recognize a motion to bring the proposal up Monday, because it was unanimous consent day.
 An informal meeting of democratic members of the rules committee Ma jority Leader Ktchin, Chairman 1 rf hn mittee and the speaker followed. In the course of lively two hours ses- sion on the question of framing a rule MT. Kitchn brought forward his proposal for a straight warning reso- ! lution. The presidents packers re- i fused to entertain the suggestion The attitude of the administration
 was plaintly. they said. for killing the McLemOre resolution on the floor and making an end of the whole matter.
 In addition to fearing the result of a l democratic vote on a straight warn l ing resolution administration leaders l frankly admitted they are unwilling 1 to take chances on what the republi- cans would do with such proposal i Republican leaders are said to he willing to aid in tabling the McLe-
 more resolution because they regard l that as more or less of a negative
 action, but their attitude on a cleal proposition probably would be quite different
 The chief object to the McLemort resolution, as sounded by friends Ol warning resolutions generally, is that i it's preamble is burdened with re- quests for papers that do not eXis
 or cannot be produced. This is mol | denied by members trying to obtain a vote on it, and they even believe
 that very fact will gain their cause many votes.
 i So far as the senate was concern 1 ed, agitation over the issue haC calmed down most completely tonight and the general opinion on yester- days vote tabling all resolutions re- lating to the subject was that the l senate had shown that it's attitude was strongly against any interfer- ence with the president in diplo- matic negotiations on the submarine controversy.

WILSON TRYING TO
POSTPONE STRIKE
Continued From Page ~

The eight hour day law for inter-
state railroad traffic suggested by the
president is not entirely agreeable to
the brotherhoods, for they want with
the eight hour day ten hours pay and
congress has no authority to prescribe
wages. The employees expect the
principal fight against this to be made
by the railroads, however.
The proposal for investigation by a
presidential commission Is welcomed
by the railroads but not to the men.
The suggestion that congress en-
power the interstate commerce COM
mission to grant higher rates as rec
ompense for increased wages Is
frowned upon by the railroads In the
belief that shippers would object and
the good will of these interests would
be lost
The most violent objection Of the
brotherhoods Is to the proposed law
for investigation of future labor dis
putes and the prohibition of strikes
or lockouts during the Investigation;
railroad executives favor this measure.
Many legislators believe the presi-
dents recommendation Of law au-
thorizing forced government operation
of certain roads for military reasons
Is superf1uous; they insist that the
other action contemplated will fore
stall the strike of itself.

The week was cool and dry. The

conditions were favorable for finishing

is doing remarkably well and over the
greater part Of the state promises a

CHANGE is MADE
...s IN ALARM SERVICE

Hampton, Aug. 30. "A new fire
alarm device that resembles in opera
ton an ordinary electric doorbell, Is
being tried out here, the bell of the
big court house clock being used.
For many years, through the cour-
tesy Of the management of the local
electric light plant, their whistle has
been used as an alarm. Since the ad.
vent of the high tension line, there
has remained little use for high
steam pressure there, and several
times a whistle signal could scarcely
be given. This, and the fact that no
other signal must be had. A mechan.
attendant is at the power house during
the night, made it imperative that an
ical clapper device in connection with
the clock bell is controlled and operat-
ed from the local telephone office.
