maintained record of the difference
between the money actually earned by
him on the present basis and the
amount that would have been earned
upon an eight hour basis-overtime
on each basis to be computed pro rata.
The amounts SO shown will be sub
ject to the decision of the commission
provided for in paragraph Co of this
memorandum and payable in money
as may be directed by said commission
in its findings and decision.
"(B-The Interstate Commerce
commission to supervise the keeping of
these accounts and report the increased
cost of the eight hour basis, after such
period of actual experience as thetf
Judgment approves or the president
may fix, not however, less than three
months.
"(C)-In view of the far reaching
consequences of the declaration made
by the president accepting the eight
hour day not only upon the railroads
and the classes of labor involved di-
rectly in this controversy but to the
public and upon all industry it seems
plain that before the existing condi-
tions are changed the whole subject
insofar as it affects the railroads and
their employees should be investigated
and determined by a commission ap-
pointed by the president"

Washington, Aug. 30.-More than
twenty men are dead, ten seriously in
jured and sixty-seven slightly injured
of the crew of the cruiser Memphis,
driven On the rocks in Santo Domingo
harbor late yesterday, Admiral Pond
reported to the navy department this
forenoon. The Memphis was hit by a
terrific swell as she lay at anchor in
the harbor, Pond reported. Effort
was made to get up steam. So great
was the swell-a great amount OF
water was believed to have been ship
ped-that the main steam line of the
Memphis broke. One man was killed
and the injuries to all OF the seventy
seven men were believed to have been
caused by the explosion.
Boat Containing Twenty Capsizes.
Pond reiterated his former state
ment that more than twenty men re-
turning from shore in motor boat
were drowned.
Two officers were included in the
list of injured. Pond said.
3, The gunboat Castine, which mar
rowly escaped the fate of the Mem
phis, is at sea with all her boats but
one lost, her steering gear disabled,
Pond reported. The ship, however. is
under control.
The tug Potomac, which left San
Domingo City for Port Palenque at
1870 p. m. yesterday, is said to be safe
but there is no word from her.
One enlisted man was killed. two
officers and five men seriously in
jured and sixty-seven other men
slightly hurt aboard the Memphis in
addition to those lost by drowning
The bursting steam main burst caused
the casualties on board.

plan to rush thru the senate bill con-
tanning only those suggestions of the
president which will achieve this with
Gus delay thru debate. This effort
being successful it was argued, the
other suggestions could later be con-
sidered as amendments with ample
time for debate.
Inquiry among senators, including
progressive Republican and Demo-
Gratis who might object to certain sug-
gestions as being too favorable to the
railroads, showed the following as
being most likely to be acceptable:
For Federal Control of Railroads.
The eight-hour proposition; author
ization of a commission to study and
report to congress on the effect of the
eight-hour laws operation; provision
for mediation, Cancellation and ar
bitration with a clause compelling full
public investigation of every phase OF
the dispute before a strike or lockout
may be lawfully attempted and lodge
ment in the hands of the president of
the power, in case of military neces-
sity, to take over control of the rail-
roads.
Fight on the other two suggestions
of the Observation-Disclosures of the
interstate commerce commission and
explicit approval by congress of the
consideration by the interstate COM
merce commission of an increase in
freight rates-appeared inevitable.
Senators Kenyon, Cummins and La
Toilette have bitterly opposed any
hint of such suggestions in the past.
All three have fought together on this
line Senator Cummins was the first
of the Progressive trio to declare his
position. He announced yesterday his
intention of making observations re-
gardfng legislation in connection with
the railroad situation.

EMBARGO IS ON
Santa Fe Stops Shipments OF
Perishable Goods.
Livestock, Too, Cannot Be
Shipped After Today.
IN SHADOW OF A STRIKE
That is Cause of Order Over En-
tire System.
Will Affect Every City Entered
by the Road.

lowering under the menacing shad-
ow of an impending strike of train
men the anita Fe placed an embargo
on all livestock and perishable COM
modities at $3.50 o'clock Tuesday aft
ernoon and served notice on shippers
thatthe road would not accept re-
sponsibility for delay of other ship
ments. The order was made effec-
tive at once and will remain in effect
until further notice.
Under the order the railroad will
refuse to accept shipments of live
stock, butter, eggs and similar commo-
dities. The step will paralyze traffic
into and out of Topeka in a serious
way insofar as several commodities of
foodstuffs are concerned.
]. r. Koontz, general freight agent,
made the order.
Several Topeka shippers are af-
fected.
The embargo is effective over the
entire system and includes shipments
to be transferred from connecting
lines
Other lines are expected to follow
the anita Fe's lead. Losses of the rail-
roads, it is pointed out, will run into
millions if there is not a ton of per-
ishable freight on the systems when
the strike goes into effect. Should the
perishable commodities be in the
hands of the roads the losses would be
still greater.
Does the embargo mean the Santa
F'e has resigned to a striker" H. B.
Lautz. assistant general manager. was
asked.
IT believe it speaks for itself" was
the reply.
Officials of the Rock Island and
Union Pacific here said their roads
had declared no embargo yet"
The embargo by the two roads is
expected any minute in railway circles
Katy Follows Suit.
Dallas, Aug. 29.-General offices OF
the Missouri. Kansas & Texas railroad
here announced today an embargo or
all perishable freight effective tomor-
row morning. The order also states
no livestock will be accepted for ship
ment unles it reaches it's destination
by Sunday morning. The railroad ac-
cepts all other classes of freight, sub
ject to delay.
All Roads in Embargo.
Washington, Aug. 29.-Railroa6
managers here said that all lines prob.
ably would take action similar to tina
ordered by the Santa Fe to protect
themselves in case of a strike, but thai
no concerted action had been agreed
upon and each road would adopt it!
