HUGHES FOR ARBITRATION.
He Would Be First to Accord to Labor
All Rights Found Just After
Consideration.

In his Maine speeches Mr.. Hughes
made II plain that he was not attack
ing labor or the equity of the pro-
posed increase Of wages for the rail-
road men. He was simply contending
for the all important principle of arbi-
tration as the right means of settle
ment Of such questions. Speaking at
different places in Maine, Mr.. Hughes
dwelt upon this question. saying:
II deeply deplore. in the name of
labor, In the name Of justice, In the
name OF American ideals. the surren-
der Of the Executive and Of Congress
to force. instead Of permitting reason
to reign.
THE measure to which l have allud-
ed was not, properly speaking. an
eight-hour measure. II was a wage
measure. 1t was a plain proposition
for a change in the wage scale. l do
not speak Of the equity Of that. That
Is a matter to be fairly considered. I
want what Is just and right with e
spect to wages. ! am for the arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement of
these Industrial controversies. We
. settle everything In this country
II we approach those matters with a
fair and open mind and an examine
ton Of the facts.
"This particular measure shows ON
its face that 1t was legislation In ad-
vance Of the investigation, instead
OF investigation in advance of legisla-
ton. 1t is said that there was in its
favor the Judgment Of society. The
Judgment Of society in this country
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1916-09-24

has neve been passed in favor of leg
islation without knowledge of the equi-
ty and regardless of the facts of the
case. There was no Judgment of So
ciety In favor of the roads which we're
excepted from Its provisions. If there
was a judgment of society, why not APP
ply the rule to electric or other kinds
of roads or roads less than 100 miles
in length? l say, away with such pre-
tense! 1t was a surrender to force in
stead of a clear, candid, faithful
framed examination of the facts, and
then action In accordance with .Ameri-
can principles.

ny represents force. Democracy rep

ROU0IANIANS STILL RETREAT

LONDON, Oct. 1.-The news today from the Bal kanS shows that the Roumanians retreatng in the Burzen valley This retreat found necessary because the Teuton artillery outranged that of the Roumanans and placed them at serious disadvantage The bitterest fighting is proceeding in the TranSyyanian passes chiefly in the Predeal and BuXen passes. The former leads to the great oil fields that made Rounana famous and rich The capture of these fields would give Germany one of the greatest oil supplies in the world Buxen pass leads the important railroad junction of BuXen which connects Bucharest the capital with northern Roumania 1t Is evident that the TeuonS have decided try to make their entry if possible through these two important gions. The Russians and Bucharest itself are still in an optimistic frame of mind the early winter there makes it possible to shift formations and make defense. Ferdinand has visited the Dobuda theatre and says he is pleased with conditions there.
 (BuXen is probably another name for Busteni which is directly north of Bucharest and about seventy miles distant from the capitaL)

BERT ANDERSON WILL
 EXHUME SEWARD BODIES

Last night the city council gave the contract to Bert Anderson to exhume all the bodies buried in different graveyards and odd places around Seward and re-bmy them in the new cemetery near Mile Four. The price given Mir. Anderson is $3O a body which is rather cheap considering the fact that outside $25 is usually charg- ed for exhuming merely. Mir. Ander- son will have each body exhumed, carted to the new cemetery and re- buried for the sum stated. It is es- timated that about a hundred bodies must be exhumed and the work will begin probably next week. The coun- cil will sell plots in the new cemetery for $25 each.
