The consequence is that large number
of southern congressman are disposed to
listen to his complaints and support en-

though. that when they attempt this the
New England congressman. listening care

terests there. will propose that cotton
also be stopped from export. while the
crop is so short as to run prices to an
unknown figure. in peace times; that the
consumer of cotton goods will want lower
prices on what he buys the same as on
the foods he must have in his home.
Therefore. the chill has descended over

ports of all kinds that assist the
enemies of the fatherland to subsist

American influences understand fully
that agitation to stop food exports will
be far stronger than the agitation in
the last session of Congress for a law
to stop exports of munitions of war.

AFFlLIATION ADVOCATED
BY BROTHERHOOD HEADS
Chiefs of Railway Unions Appear
Before Baltimore Gathering After
Seeing President.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, November 21.-Affilia-
ton of the members of the American
Federation of Labor and the four big
railroad brotherhoods for effecting the
general betterment of labor was urged
TODAY before the federation convention
here by the brotherhood heads and
President Samuel A Gompers.- Dele
gates, who crowded the hall. cheered all
of the speakers enthusiastically.
I'VE must hang together or we will
hang separately" declared w. G. Lee.
spokesman for the brotherhoods and
head of the railway trainmen.
'It is a great comfort to know,
President Gompers said, that the time
is not far distant when the great
brotherhoods will be a part of the
American Federation of Labor"
Lee explained that the laws of the
brotherhoodS now prevent an ofhclal
affiliation with the federation until
after their convention is held. but he
insisted that between now and that
time the organizations could cooperate
with the same purpose as if they were
officially affiliated. He also made it
plain that the brotherhoods were not
bringing their eight-hour day 'trou-
bles" to the federation for support.

Only One Section Presented.

Only part of the new plan was pre-
sented at the forenoon session. but it
was intended to offer. perhaps this aft
ernoon. the second part, and not only
the section pertaining to border con-
troll. but the provision for a definition
of the attitude of the Carranza gov
ernment toward economic, social and
military affairs in general in SO far as
they affect foreign interests in Mexico.
1t had not been intended to present at
this time other than the part relating to
the withdrawal of the American troops
and the plan for protecting the border
against raiders. 1t was explained that the
part of the plan already proposed was
marked by no ambiguity whatever. and it
is not intended that there shall be in the
articles any obscurity of mean
ing that might serve as a basis for quib-
bling debate.

Lacks Support in Senate.

In the Senate the problem will have
less support than in the House, accord
ing to leaders today. Senators are
virtually all dependent to a degree
upon the farmer vote They need not
give the vital attention to the city
vote that the representatives from city
districts must give. In states where
there are immensely large cities the
senator would be compelled to listen
closely to the demands upon him. Many
of them would have a most delicate
question to decide on the subject of an
embargo.
Southern congressman who have
reached Washington have been inform
ed that some of their fellow w-members
are preparing embargo bills, but the
word has been passed that embargo
legislation might hit southern cotton
before it finally got through Congress
and that is dousing cold water on those
disposed to press for a law that will
keep American food products at home.
The southern farmer raises little
grain for his own consumption. He
buys his wheat and -four, beans. peas,
and even corn, from the western farm
er-not direct. of course. He is receiv-
ing splendid prices for his cotton. but
he is complaining bitterly about what
he pays for his food.

Expect Union First of Year.

Immediately after the close of Com
pers' speech the brotherhood heads left
the hall.
President Gompers, in the course of his
remarks, said:
1--WE expect that the railroad brother
hoods will January ] next inaugurate the
eight hour workday. and think | can
truly say TO you that whatever arises
whatever betides, you have the undivided
support of the organized working men

States failed in the attempt to corrupt
the electorate and when their plans were
upset by the votes of the citizenship of the
United States the capitalists showed
their coiors. They met and gave out a
declaration that they We're going to an
tagonize every effort put forth by organ
ized labor.
But, men of wealth, ] say to you, be
careful how far you go. There is a limit
even to human endurance. You throw
down the gauntlet and we accept the
cha llenge. When the time comes il will
be another case of lay on. Nacduff. and
damned be he who first cries enough '"
At the conclusion of his address
President Gompers was overcome by
his emotions and was obliged to retire
to an anteroom. where he lay down for
fifteen minutes He afterward returned
to the platform.

Opposed by Cabrera.

opposed by cabrera.
How Luis Cabrera. chairman of the
Mexican commission. and his colleagues
received what is regarded as the last
word of the American commissioners
was not expected to be known until
after the session came to an end this
afternoon. Steady opposition to the
plan by Mr. Cabrera and continued in
sistence that further activities of Amer
ican troops in Mexico must be restrict
ed in various ways have marked the
conferences of the joint commission
for many weeks, and il was the appar-
ent determination of the Mexicans not
to yield that caused Mr.. Lane to place
before President Wilson all the facts
in the case.
When he went into the conference
room this morning he carried with
him the assurance of the President that
he had unqualified backing of his plan
The Mexicans were aware Of the Presi-
dents attitude and it was regarded as
probable that they would recede from
the position they had taken.
Secretary Lane returned here late
yesterday. He Immediately went into
conference with DR.. ]. f. Mott and
Judge George Gray, the other Ameri-
can commissioners, informing them
Washington Saturday with the Presi-
dent. The Americans appeared con-
fident that the end of the conference
is in sight Their propositions have
been reduced to writing. and it is I'M
derstood. will admit of little debate.
Hopeful of Adjustment.
The Mexicans appeared not to take a
pessimistic view of the situation Mr.
Cabrera again assuring newspaper men
that he was very hopeful of an
amicable adjustment.
Whether Ignacio Bonillas and Alberto
J. PAM, the other members of the
Mexican commission, were prepared TO
stand by Mr.. Cabrera could not be de-
termined They have been disposed of
late to agree with the Americans on
the plan suggested and it was the
opposition of Mr.. Cabrera that pre-
vented a settlement.
The question at issue is not the with
dr;i wal of Gen. Pershing's troops. The
more debatabe question is the method of
controlling the border after they have
been taken out. The Mexicans will not
be permitted to place restrictions on the
manner in which the American govern
ment may protect its border nor on the
manner in which it may punish maraud-
ing bandits.

Prolonged cheering followed praise
of President Wilson by Lee.

would have taken for him to have

side. he said. He declared that invita-
tions had come 70 the brotherhoods be-
fore to appear before the federal ton meet
ings. but they had not been accepted
We are nearer affiIiation today than
we ever have been before" he said
Il know that a large percentage of
our members will be glad to know that
we have been here and spoken to you

US who are organized to get together

to obtain better conditions, particu-
larly for the men on lines that the
railroads will not now permit to or
ganize We will not strike or go out
to help them. but we will use our best
efforts to obtain better conditions for
them"
Lee paid his respects to the wall
street crowd" and declared that now
that an election had been won with
out the assistance of New York In
diana Illinois. labor should not fail
to retain its power thus gained.
Lee also reviewed the conferences which
led to the enactment of the Adamson
eight-hour day law last September and
charged the railroad heads with playing
unfairly with the President at that time.
The brotherhoods. he declared. had no
desire that the 1.damson bill be enacted
into law, but inasmuch as it had become
law they were trying to live up to it.

LAWYERS Prohibition Assistant.

Vance Chapman, who writes inter
esting st. Paul correspondence for
some of the leading newspapers over
the nom de plume of County Chair
man," has this to say of the fight for
United States senator in this state:
The disturbing element in Mr.. KEEL
logg's case was the Prohibition candi-
date, w. G. Calderwood, an Anti
Saloon league leader of note, and the
manner in which he piled up a vote
in some localities was caution. AT
no time did he leave any doubt as to
whose scalp he was after and the
friendliness that existed between him
and Dan Lawler, the democratic can
did atei for senator, almost cinched in
the minds Of some the belief of wet
and dry combination. Both said kind
things about each other and were al
ways agreed that the election of Mr..
Kellogg would be a menace to good
government. That a vote for Mr..
Calderwood was, however, a half vote
for Mr.. Lawler, undeniably the wet
candidate, was never even whispered
by them. That was left to the voters
to find out, which some of them did.

AS to the Parcel Post.

The United States parcel post is
handling approximately 1,1OO,0OO,0O0
parcels a day, or over 9O,O0O,OOO a
month. It is the largest express SER
vice in the world. It is impossible to
state the proportion of this business
which is distinctly rural. 1t is I'M
doubtedly true, however, that the chief
function of the governments express
service has proved to be agricultural.
That is, the government is the princi-
pal express carrier now operating be-
tween city and country and vice versa.
The bulk Of the parcel post business
is of this nature, whereas the bulk Of
the business Of the private express
companies passes between city and
city.
The following letter addressed by
farmer to former Postmaster Praeger
of Washington, D. c., reflects the at
titude of practically every farmer
toward the parcel post:
To my mind nothing has ever been
1HauguIaCeQ IN America Which Will
tend to make the farmer more con-
tent to stay on the farm than the
establishing of the parcel-post method
OF disposing of products. It gives him
business practice; it gives him the
feeling Of doing a mail order business.
He finds much more satisfaction and
pleasure in preparing his produce for
real appreclative human beings first
hands as against sort of commission
machine into which his produce, no
matter how painstakingly it has been
prepared, is dumped. It also brings
rural jewellers into close communion
with the envied city residents. 1t
gives him the feeling that his efforts
are appreciated, and creates a high
incentive to produce the best possible
articles, and thus win the confidence
of his patrons.
