THREATEN BOLT
on CHILD LABOR
Democratic Senators Will
Not Be Bound if Caucus
Turns Down Bill.

Washington, July 24.-Seyeral Demo-
cratic Senators declared tonight that
they would not be bound by any caucus
decision to postpone action on the child
labor bill until next session, in the face
Of President Wilson's request that it
be passed before adjournment. They
pointed out that the Republicans were
ready to demand that the measure be
brought up if the majority refused to
include it in its imperative programme,
and predicted that an attempt to whip
Democratic Senators into line against
its consideration might meet with
serious opposition.
What shall be done with the child
labor bill is causing Democratic Senate
leaders some concern. The caucus,
which once excluded it from the ses-
sioE's imperative programme, will meet
again in a few days to discuss the
subject further, in the light OF the
Presidents request. Southern Senators
who were instrumental in placing 1t
well down on the legislative calendar,
where it would be almost certain not
10 come up before adjournment, have
shown little evidence of Withdrawing
their opposition. 1t has been reported
that an effort to force the measure
through would mean a determined
party revolt from that quarter
Senators Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Smith, of Georgia, talked with
President Wilson about the bill to-day.
The President is understood to have
told them he would not insist further
on its passage ii the caucus decided
against it, 1t is expected the measure
Will be called up, however, either by
Republicans or by its insistent Demo-
cratic champions.
Senator Kern, the Democratic floor
leader, said tonight that although 40
caucus had been called he expected
one to be held soon. He said ne had
received many kilograms from South
ern States urging that the bill be
paeeqd

DR.. Fisher Sees Disaster
for World if Either Side
Is Victorious.
NEUTRALS URGED TO
CALL CONFERENCE
Decisive Gains Will Leave Fut-
ure Strife Undecided, Yale
Professor Writes.

Or. Irving Fisher, professor Of po-
litcal economy at Yale, foresee. a
world disaster If the present European
war ends in a decisive victory for either
belligerent. He thinks It's most happy
conclusion would be q draw. Such
view, he believes, cfystallized at q world
conference of neutrals and presented
forcibly to the Sighting nations, would
materially shorten the duration Of the
conflict
Writing in this weeks issue Of The
independent" Dr. Fisher says:
"All Of US, neutrals and belligerents
alike, want this - be the last great war.
But the only hope Of getting I'D of Nar
is 20 make the people disgisteo WIN
war, not only because OF II cos-l'ne,ss'
but because Of its valaness as LAeJno1
Of settling disputes.
Winners Will Have False View.
"If this war settles something 50
that somebody is satisfied, that some-
hodv will be satisfied with war as an
institution. However false this view
NAV be. il will certainly be the view Ok
a large number on the winning side
Of. on the other hand, the connics
ends in a draw and the people on OotR
sides become convinced that L has ac-
complished nothing except the destruc-
tion of wealth, the accumulation o. oeo.
and the slaughter OF the very Hover OF
the manhood Of Europe, then war l'sc.t
will be regarded as an accussed lhsll-
tuition, and there VIII rise such poPt-
lar clamor for safeguards against -
that any nation viii be willing TO make
whatever sacrifices are necessary ID
substitute q better method.
"A decisive victory Viii leave the
question OF future wars undeciael'
whereas a stalemate, although inde-
cisive in the immediate ana m,iitary
sense, is far more likely 70 be decisive
as against the whole idea Of war.
Neutral Conference Urged.
at ia difficult 10 imagine that Ger
many can conduer a united world, and
n il almost equally dilicllt 20 con-
caive that Germany can be destroyed
or even temporarily crushed. II this
Wow be correct. il should be formulated
by neutrals in an international confer
ence and presented 70 the warning na-
tions, SO that they can clearly see the
only two prospects before them one
long, infinitely costly struggle, ending
in a victory for one side; the other pc
ing an earlier cessation OF hostliltles,
with neither side victorious, with mill
ions of valuable lives and wealth saved.
with every chance for the formation OF
some organization 70 prevent future
wars. When this view, II It be the we"
of neutral nations, is forced upon the
belligerents, it is at least conceivable
that they will conclude a peace and
make it lasting, earlier by many years
than would otherwise be the case

COUNT OF FERNANDINA DIES
Aged Grandee Was Last of Cuban
Titled Aristocracy

Havana, July 24.-Jose Maria de Her
rera, Count of Fernandina, grandee
of Spain and the last survivor OF the
Cuban titled aristocracy of colonial
days, is dead here at the age OF eighty
nine years. The funeral was attended
by many officials of the government
and representatives of Havana society.
As a grandee of Spain the count
was a member of the Spanish Senate,
but he never acted in that capacity.
While his sympathies had been with
the Cubans, he never took part in the
hostilities with the mother country.
His family at one time was very
wealthy.
Two daughters and one son, to whom
the title now descends, survive.
