the edge of the gallery by some sui
frage invaders. A page quickly
jumped up and pulled down the
Rail Legislation First.
The president referred at the outset
to his program of railroad legislation
Senators and representatives listened
attentively but without demonstration
as he referred to compulsory arbitra-
ton and enlargement OF the Inter
state Commerce commission.
Persons in the far galleries COM
handing view of the president say
he looked up and smiled as the suf-
frage banner fell to the floor. He
continued his reading without hest
tation.
About simultaneous with the un-
furling of the banner, long state
ment regarding the incident was given
out by the Congressional union. 1t
said that officials of the union de-
cided upon that method of calling the
presidents attention to suffrage be-
cause they understood he had omitted
reference to the issue in his address.
The banner was struggled into the
gallery in a handbag. Mrs. Abby
Scott Baker of the Congressional
union explained the incident as Eek
pressive of the indignation that wom-
en- feel at the stupid and senseless OPP
position to granting the right of self
government to one-half the people Of
the United States"
The suffragists represented the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suf-
rage and were headed by Miss Alice
Paul, the chairman. Members said
the flag had been put up by Mrs. John
Rogers Of New York, Mrs. Florence
Bayard Hilles Of Wilmington, Del;
Mrs. William Colt of New York and
Mrs. Anna Lowenberg Of Philadel-
phia. j.
Mrs. Hilles is the daughter Of for
mer United States Ambassador Bay
ard to Great Britain.
Members Listen Closely.
As the president proceeded with
recommendations for other legislation,
the listening congress remained silent.
When the president concluded, how
ever, applause was renewed. The suf-
fragists who had dropped the banner
joined in.
The president finished speaking at
1:l8 and left the house chamber to
confer with Speaker Clark, Senators
Stone and Reed and Representative
Igoe Of Missouri over the probable
appointment Of Judge Kimbrough
Stone, a son of Senator Stone, as
United States judge for the eighth
circuit court of appeals.

tempted.
Suggestions Renewed.
And, sixth, the Judgement in the
hands of the executive of the power
in case of military necessity, to take
control of such portions and such
rolling stock of the railways OF the
country as may be required for mill.
tary use and to operate them for
military purposes, with authority to
draft into the military service OF the
United States such train crews and
administrative officials as the circum-
stances require for their safe and ef-
fcient use.
THE second and third of these rec.
concentrations the congress imme-
diately acted on: it established the
eight-hour day as the legal basis OF
work and wages in train service and
it authorized the appointment of a
commission to observe and report
upon the practical results, deeming
these measures most Immediately
needed; but it postponed action upon
the other suggestions until an oppor-
tunity should be offered for more
deliberate consideration of them.
The fourth recommendation | do not
deem it necessary to re1ew. The
power of the Interstate Commerce
commission to grant an increase Of
rates on the ground referred to is
indisputably clear and recommends
ton by the congress with regard to
such matter might seem to draw
in question the scope of the commits
sion's authority or its inclination to
do justice when there is no reason to
doubt either.
"The other suggestions--the in
crease in the Interstate Commerce
commissions membership and in its
facilities for performing its manifold
duties, the provision for full public
investigation and assessment of in
dustrial disputes, and the grant to the
executive of the power to control and
operate the railways when necessary
in time of war or other like public
necessity now very earnestly re-
new.
"The necessity for such legislation
is manifest and pressing. Those who
have entrusted US with the response
bility and duty of serving and safe
guarding them in such matters would
find it hard, | believe, to excuse a
failure to act upon these grave mat
tiers or any unnecessary postpone
ment of action upon them.
mot only does the Interstate Com
merce commission now find it prac-
tically impossible, with its present
membership and organization, to per-
form its great functions promptly and
thoroughly, but it is not unlikely that
it may presently be found advisable
to add to its duties still others
equally heavy and exacting. 1t must
first be perfected as an administra-
tive instrument. 49,
Must Have Industrial Peace.
The country cannot and should
not consent to remain any longer ex-
posed to profound industrial disturb
ances for lack of additional means
of arbitration and Cancellation which
the congress can easily and promptly
supply. And all will agree that there
must be no doubt as to the power of
the executive to make immediate and
uninterrupted use of the railroads for
