WASHINGTON, d. G., Aug. 30.-With both sides making
last hour preparations for a great railroad strike Monday
morning, President Wilson today turned all the influence of
his administration towards persuading the brotherhood lead
ers to postpone their strike order until congress had had op-
portunity to act. There were intimaions that should the labor
leaders continue firm, President Wilson even might make a
public appeal to the railway workers themselves to direct their
leaders to postpone it.
Despite denials Of the labor leaders that President Will
son or any one else had asked them to postpone the strike,
there we're abundant evidences that such was the case, and
somehow there was a feeling in congress, in administration
circles and in other places, that a way would be found to avert
the walkout. No one knew what it was, but the feeling pre-
vailed. NN
After conference with Secretary Wilson at the depart
ment Of labor, the brotherhood leaders reiterated that no
power on earth except a satisfactory settlement could avert the
strike and that they had no power to rescind the order.
Nevertheless, efforts were continuing to bring about a postponanent
The legal fight phase of the situation developed with the temporary in
junction issued by a local court in Nebraska, restraining the conductors
the first time, the much discussed clayton antInuncthon act" passed by
congress at the behest Of Tabor. The brotherhood leaders mreservedy e-
pressed the opinion that the injunction constituted a violation Q the law
and could not stand.
There were limitations that similar injunctions might be issued in differ
emit parts Of the country where the sentiment of the men is known to be
against the strike.
While every effort was being made to prevent the strike, both sides con
tinued to make preparations to meet it The senate interstate commerce
committee, also considered a law passed by congress in 1862 authorizing the
president to take possession of railroad and telegraph lines, when in his
judgment public safety might require it,

The Speech in Full
To say that / thank you and that |
highly appreciate this mark OK dis
tinction is expressing but mildly my
feelings at the beginning of the DELHI
erations Of this assembly never before
equaled in the history of New Mexico
in number or Importance OF a meeting
Of this kind.
/ have not sufficient pride OF opin-
ion to justify a belief that shall be
able to rise to the Importance OF the
occasion. It is not natural for me TO
explain or apologize but think tnat
II W it to myself, to you and our
party to a that not until after 2
o'clock yesterday did / have the least
intimation that ! should attempt to
speak to you at this time.
What l shall say to you about state
affairs Will not be reckless statements
from hearsay for political purposes
but will be borne out by the records
that are all available for inspection as
none Of them have been lost or des-
troyed.
We are proud Of the performance
of the national Democratic administra-
ton and are proud to be enrolled as
the friends of the great man who has
steered the ship Of state so ably and
peacefully for three and a half years.
We are not resting u case on vague
promises or begging the question on
minor errors that are inevitable In
the accomplishment Of any great I'm
dertaking.
Americanism is not the trade mark
| or property OF a political party but is
the essence Of citizenship Of every
true American citizen. To say that
one man or partyNis the exponent
of real Americanism lore than an.
| other is a p%retense whose correct.
ness can only be demonstrated by a
poll Of the individual citizens com.
posing the rank and file OF that party
Constructive Legislation
During the administration Of Wood
row Wilson more constructive bene'
fetal legislation has been placed upon
the statute books Of the nation by
far than during the past two genera
lions for a similar time. The critics
in New Mexico Of the tariff legisla.
ton know so little OF, its merits or
its operation that they are not in a
position to speak in~telligently or ad-
visedly as to its effect upon the coun.
try either past or future. All state
ments concerning this are qualified by
El Nuevo mexicano., 1916-08-31

the eif" or but" in such a manner
as to indicate that everything is con-
tingent upon a possibility. We we're
told that the Democrats would take
the tariff off of wool, hides and live
stock and ruin those industries in the
state Of New Mexico. Now, what has
the result been? This is practical
and something that we can readily I'M
derstand. Prices on all Of these prod
ucts today are higher than you have
ever known them before. Why Is II?
What has caused it? Whose judg-
ment was at fault? These are prac.
tical questions; the answers are be-
fore us in the concrete results Tor
those who have been the beneficiaries
Of the unparalleled prosperity that we
have enjoyed in our state under the
Democratic administration.
The Republicans do not tell US any
thing now about the full dinner pail"
They have no songs of disaster. In
the midst Of such prosperity as was
never known before, they can only
say IF so and So or "but 30 and so"
and leave you to guess at the re-
mainder of what might have happened
or what would have happened if some
thing else never had happened.
The federal reserve act is admitted
today to be one Of the greatest pieces
Of legislation ever enacted in this
country. Much talk had been had
concerning oar banking legislation
but no one had had the vigor or de-
termination to take this up in an in.
telligent manner for the benefit Of all
the people in the country. AS a re-
suit OF this law we were enabled to
avoid a panic under conditions more
favorable for disaster than ever be-
fore existed IN this country.
The trade commission bill admit
teddy enacted in the interest Of the
people for the purpose Of eurtailing
and regulating the activities Of the
constituencies corporations for the
exploitation Of the people.
The income tax system has been
written into our statutes. The most
Just and reasonable provision for rev.
enue, except the inheritance tax, that

DIR. HUDSON SELLS VALLEY
HAY RANCH FOR $4,000
C. C. Day, of Asotin, Buys One of
Best Tracts in the Valley for
His Permanent Home

DR.. Mary Hudson this week sold
her 4O-acre alfalfa farm down the
valley to C. C. Day, of Asotin, who
will make his permanent home here
after January 1, when the present
lease on the tract expires.
The forty is one of the best in the
valley. It was improved from the
sagebrush three years ago by Nathan
Thayer and last year, after disposing
of her Highland home, DR.. Hudson
built a small three-room house on it
with the intention of making her
home there. It is the intention OF
Mr.. Day to enlarge the house and
make other improvements.
Mr.. Day, who is successful stock
raiser, just happened to drop into Ken
newick last Saturday with his wife
and children. It was his first visit
here but it didn't take him long to
make up his mind that he would like
to become permanent resident OF
the valley.
The deal between DR.. Hudson and
Mr.. Day was handled by Trenbath &
Tweedt, and the consideration was
$4,000 cash.
