washington, Aug. lJ.--Id ak VI Colll-
pulsory arbitration as a last means
of heading off railroad strike was
heard in congress today. In the event
the president fails to bring about a
settlement, some senators-adminis-
tration men, included-believe con-
gress should enact at once a compul-
sorry arbitration measure that could
be made effective before the brother
Foods had time to strike.
The latter usually give week or
ten days notice and in that time COM
Fulsory arbitration could be provided
by law if the president ratified the
plan.
Washington, Aug. ia nation
wide strike, tying up all railroads Of
the country, again looms up. Thirty
enc railroad presidents left the White
House determined, they said, not to
accept a proposal by President Wilson
intended to avert such a national
calamity
President Hale Holden of the Burl-
iLgton road, spokesman for the execu-
tives, said they would at once confer
with the managers and arrive at some
conclusion on the presidents PROPOSE
tion. They will lay this conclusion
before him tomorrow morning, Hold
en- said.
Fifteen minutes later the GAO rep
resentatives OF the railroad workers
announced they had voted to accept
the presidents proposal.
The employees vote Of acceptance
was at the rate of 8 to l, it was
learned this afternoon.
That the situation has reached the
most dangerous stage was obvious in
view of the attitude of the executives
when they left the White House. They
indicated clearly that they had not
changed their minds-made up against
the presidents proposals-and it is
believed they will stand firm on their
contention for arbitration of all the
issues.
The executives contend-and with
bitterness-that the president is ar
bitrarily trying to force down the
tbroats of the railroads an eight-hour
working day before the feasibility of
it's application to railroad operation has
been examined.
"When railroad attempts to in
crease it's rates." one official said, "it
must first show good and sufficient
cause and subject itself to thorough
Investigation. Why isn't that railroad
entitled to show cause why it should
increase salaries to employees before
having to pay those increases?"
The session today was very short,
the president speaking only briefly af
ter putting up to the men his PROPOSE
tion for a settlement.
President Wilson was in the green
room, one of the reception rooms,
when the railroad executives arrived.
President Holden presented each of
his colleagues to the president as they
entered the room. after shaking
hands with all of them, President Will

FREE SILVER AGAIN9

Are we to have another free silver coinage campaign with the positions Of the international parties reversed Free coinage Of silver is being suggested. and this time the suggestion comes from Europe. Silver has advanced to 50 cents an ounce. and the demand for silver money in an quarters of the world 1t is be- iieved will cause 1t to rise still higher. This rise in the value of the white metal has Induced those who are already thinking about the period of liquidation that must follow the war consider the adyisability of increasing the money supply by making silver coin age as free as gold coinage basis of value to be agreed upon by the nations
 There was a time when there was scarcely diyis- ion in American sentiment on the question of free silver coinage if |, could be secured through nterna. toual agreement But that was when the visible gold supply was largely held in Europe and when Europe held securities that would call for many times all of the gold in sight Now most of the surplus gold sup ply is in the United States and this country. as the coming chief creditor nation would probably be an obstacle in the way of free silver coinage rather than an advocate of it.

THE ISSUE AS IT IS

We have said many times, but 1t will bear repeat ing again that the question before the people is not one between Statehood and any kind Of Territorial government The contest is one between the present miserable makeshift government and immediate en- largement of the powers of the people that would follow a full Territorial form or government
 There is not an advocate of full Territorial form Of government in the Territory who does not favor Statehood as the final solution of the government problem Alaska. and probably most Of them believe with the Democrats who unanimously resolved at veldez that the time begin the agitation for State hood Is at hand. but they want all the powers of a full Territorial government NOW, because the lack of power to to move on the part of the people of Aaska is absolutely and perlousy delaying Alaskan develop ment
 Delegate wickersham has frequently admitted that Alaska is not ready for Statehood He has even con tended tha, full Territorial form Of government would be ruinously costly at the present time. But he says we will be ready for Statehood by the time ws can get 1t

The troops guided by Col Cody. whipped the band and killed Tall Bull at Summit Springs In Coorao.
 Tn Col Cody's opinion, the capture of Villa will be affected by trailing was the wiping out of Tall Bulls band.
 The aeroplanes will not get Villa" says the for mer scout "When he and his band scattred they can hide under rocks and trees. The eyes of the keenest aviator could not recognize Villa In small crowd of Mexicans."
 The Courer-Journal observes few days ago that when Villa put in practice the old but still useful Indian plan of breaking his force into small squads and scattering the squads, the hunt by aeropianes would be like looking for certain flea on dogs back Mexican looking very much like another from point of rapid fire That is the view of Col.

PROTECTING LoBsTERs
Seattle Post.Intelllgencerl

Massachusetts having lost control of the codfsh industry to the Pacific fishermen is striving as best 1t may to hold its loosening clutch on the lobster. For many years the bays and ineta of the north coast of Massachusetts have sheltered these much sought crrstaceans and the commonwealth is proud of its possession and reioices over its dominance of the market But now the supply is running short and in order to protect it the law forbds the taking of Holsters under ten inches long.
 Fishermen are taking them under eight and nine inches It has been discovered and some of the best families In the Black Bay district are served with short Holsters" The question now confronting the commonwealth is how to check the poachers and re- tain the position of dominance in the lobster market
 The state fish and game commission asks for law limiting the legal length of catches to nine inches and deputIzIng a fisherman in every port and depu- ty warden to enforce It. To this end the warden IS to be authorized to carry tapene authorized to car ry tape line and lay it on every lobster that induces any question of its legal size.
 There is resentment among the fishermen along the north shore over the proposed law. and these are freely promising to knock the blocks and push in the faces of inquring wardens who presume to in- trude upon their business with tapelines-
 If the fish commission gets its law there will be civil war along the north coast; if the protection Is not furnished the lobster will cease to exist there And between the alternatives Massachusetts will prob ably prefer civil war.

IT DEPENDS

friendly reader of The Empire writes that Deeeate wiekersham is stealing The Empires ammu- milton in promising support to a full Territorial form of government after having opposed 1t for years
 It all depends upon the use the Delegate makes of it. He is not stealing if he uses 1t for Alaska. The Empire has no ammunition that any one no mat ter what his politics staGon is not welcome to if he win use n in behalf of Alaska The Empire is interested in advancing the welfare of this Territory rather than in the political fortunes of individuals. It's interest in full Territorial form of government is in getting 1t that the people of Alaska may use the power that goes with 1t for the development of their Territory along all lines.

There is agreement on tho last proposition There Is disagreement only on tho question as to whether or not we are ready for full Territorial form Of govern ment now. Delegate wickersham and his repeating parrots say mo-" and the men who fought tho fight from the beginning for Territorial government say yes
 The record on these matters Is too plain to permit politicians to fool the people
 Delegate wickersham could the passage Of a full Territorial form of government bill now and secure the active cooperation of all selfgovernment adherents for his Statehood bill If he does not do that or try hard to accomplish that he Is fairly sub iect to the charge of advocating Statehood for the purpose of preventing the enlargement of the powers of the people Of the Territory just as Gov Brady and Gov. Hoggat advocated 1t, because he has long rec ord of opposition to Territorial form of government and to "fulr Territorial form of government behind him. just as Gov Brady and Gov Hoggatt had

A PERMANENT rARIFr COMMISSION
lChicnro Hernldl

Chicago Heradl
 The tariff commission bill introduced Monday for the. ways and means committee by Mir Raney appears to provide for a permanent body of what should be experts vested with ample powers to collect all need ful information the guidance of Congress in this sort of fiscal and industrial legislation It seems to deserve Mr. Raney's description "as nearly nonpart- san as possible"
 It provides a commission of six. whose terms will ultimately be twelve years Thus probable pot- cal change can wholly change It's personnel In addl tion to authority to investigate all matters pertaining to tariff relations. commercial treaties, cost of pro- ducon effects foreign competition and so on 1t is empowered to compel witnesses to attend and give access to any record The need of protecting trade secrets Is recognized with penalties for their disclosure
 An interesting provision Is that making ineligible former members of Congress- thus making 1t imposst ole to m up the commission with political lame ducks" All employees except the secretary and each commissioners personal clerk are put under the merit system In brief 1t looks like sincere effort not to take the tariff out of politics., which would be impossible. but take bacscratching and log-ro ing politics out of future tariff making.
 That is really what is desired by an thoughtful citizens Any question of taxation must always be more or less a political issue But the people having approved principle of taxation, 1t should be possible to have that principle followed It has not always been possible in the past President Cleveland's we'll known rlemarks on the Wilson tariff Illustrate the point The bill is certain to pass the House It has the Presidents approval already. It should pass the Senate.

A MISGUIDED EFFORT

- URING the senatorial
70 campaign two years ago
an alleged suffrage orga-
nization attempted to make a
fight on Senator Chamberlain
in this state. 1t was grossly un-
fair because the senator had
been a lifelong worker for
equal suffrage The attempt
to iniure his candidacy failed
miserably because the people
resented such tactics.
The same results will follow
the silly effort to injure Presi-
dent Wilson and help Hughes.
There is not the slightest rea-
son. from a suffrage standpoint
why Hughes should be favored
above Wilson. The president
espOused the suffrage cause
long before Hughes did. He
voted for equal suffrage IN New
Jersey and publicly supported
the cause. There is no essenti-
al difference between the plat
forms of the two parties and
the recognized suffrage lead
ers are not aligning their cause
with either party. They pub
licly proclaim both men to be
friends of the movement.
If there existed any reason
why suffrage advocates should
consider their cause as involv-
ed in the presidential campaign
the women of Oregon are able
ia discern the facts without aid
from hired emissaries from
other states.
II is not surprising that
frosty receptions are quite gen.
orally being rendered the fem
mime campaigners.

1tN RESIDENT ACKERMAN
- of the Monmouth Normal
school is a booster for a
normal school in eastern Ore
gon, saying the Monmouth in
stitution is unable to meet the
needs of the entire state, and
he warns that the new school
should be located in a town suf-
ficiently large enough to pro-
vide all the pupils needed for
practice training work. No
town under 5000 population
will do.
This same advice is given
with much force by the United
States bureau of education.
The bureau aprovides that
standard normal school must
offer a specified amount of
practice training work for its
students. The standard set up
is one that cannot possibly be
met by a school located in a lit
tie town. This is one reason
why the educators are unani-
nous for locating the eastern
Oregon school in Pendleton.
