COMMON SENSE IN HOG LOT
Trouble With Many OF Us is That We
Give Our Swine Altogether Too
Little Attention.
(By NJ. KELLYS

(By M. kEL1IYN
The question which breed Of swine
to select for the economic pro-
duction Of pork is perhaps of less i'm.
portaEce today than in the past.
The leading swine breeders have be-
gun to recognize the fact that they
must shape their favorite breeds to
meet market demands. AS a natural
result, the type of all the leading
breeds now conforms to a fixed stand.

Decisive Developments
In Strike Situation
Expected in Few Days

Washington. Aug. Il. - President
! Wilson after week Of conferences
with ranking officials of the railroads
and leaders of their employees threat
Cning a natiOn-W wide strike it is be-
lieVed by all parties to the controversy
to have brought the situation to a
point where decisive developments
may be expected within a few days.
While the negotiations took no act
Ual forward step Sunday, the president
replied indirectly to contentious Of the
road officials that the principle of ar
bitration would be endangered by his
plan for putting the eighth basis
day into effect while a commission
investigates it's praCticability and pas
seS upon other points at issue. In a
telegram made publice at the White
House the president declared he held
firmly to arbitration as a principle and
that his plan strengthened rather than
weakened it. He also said that some
means must be found to prevent the
existing situation from ever arising
again.
Meantime the road officials VINO have
tentatively refused to accept Mr. Will
sons proposals, continued conferences
among themselves. Labor leaders who
already have approved the proposal.
marked time awaiting a definite decis-
ion from the Employers.
The presidents telegram defending
his plan was in reply to an appeal
from George Pope, president of Ma
tional association of Manufacturers,
urging that the principl of arbitration
be persevered in the strike negotia-
tions. Mr.. Pope's telegram follows:
Hartford. Conn, August IS. 1916.
THE president, the White House.
"On behalf Of thirty seven hundred
manufacturers organizations employ
ing three million persons, and utterly
dependent upon uninterrupted railroad
service for their continued operation,
l beg to at once press our deep appre-
citation of your efforts to prevent the
threatened destructive stoppage Of ma
tional railroad service, and to respect
fully urge that you will with all the
power Of your great office and person.
ality assert and maintain the principle
of arbitration for Industrial disputes
affecting national intercourse. No just
demand can fear such a test; no fair
demand can or should survive it. /
sincerely believe no man in our his
tory has possessed such an opportunity
to fortify this essential principle of
public security against future attack
by employer or empIoye.

CONGRESS
IS. CLOSE
TO FINISH
Sept. l or 2 Prospective
Dates to Complete
Present Session
LITTLE BUSINESS IS LEFT
Passage Of Revenue and
General Deficiency Bills,
Only, Awaited

Washington, Aug. 21.-Adiournment
or congress now waits only on the pas
sage of the emergency revenue bill, rc-
passage of the army appropriation bill
with amendments to meet President
Wilson's veto, completion Of the gen.
eral deficiency appropriation measure
and final action on a few conference
reports, including the government
shipping bill. Senate leaders who have
grown optimistic over the rapid pro-
gress of legislation within the last few
days say they would be ready to ad-
journ next Saturday if the house could
be prevailed upon to accept the amend
ed revenue bill without a fight. This
does not seem likely, however, and
because of some discussion that may
arise over general deficiency approp-
riations. congress probably will not be
ready for the adjournment gaVel be-
fore September l or 2.
Fears of indefinite delay resulting
from President Wilson's veto of the
army appropriation bill because of its
exemption from the military code of
retired officers and men have almost
entirely disappeared. On Tuesday the
house will repasS the bill under special
rule with the articles Of war which
contained Representative Hays objec-
tionable amendment eliminated. 1t will
be rushed to the senate. where the plan
is to re-insert the articles of war minus
the Hay amendment. Unless present
plans miscarry the bill will then go to
conference and Representative Hay, his
friends declare, will surrender. There
Is possibility, however, that the ar
ticles of war may be thrown out in the
senate on a point of order that they
are not germane to an appropriation
bill. If any senator makes the point
that will end the controversy.
The government shipping bill will go
to conference Tuesday and little trou-
BILE is anticipated.
Republican and Democratic leaders
alike assert that odds and ends of leg
islatiOn still pending will be entirely
overlooked in the final drive for ad-
journment and that nothing can pre-
vent congress getting away after the
reYe1iue and general deficiency bills
are passed. They declare such things
as corrupt political practices Iegisla-
ton, woman suffrage, and the treaty
for purchase Of the Danish West In
dies, would not have the ghost of a
chance for consideration unless un-
expected developments should prolong
the session.
Even the immigration bill will not be
insisted upon by the Republicans, it is
said, although it is probable that an
other vote will be taken on a motion
to take up the bill. Such a motion has
been defeated twice within the last
two weeks.

REMOVAL
ISSUE TO
GETPLACE
No Court Order Yet Pre-,
venting Publication of
Capital Amendment

The capital removal issue will find
a place on the ballots that will be
printed shortly, if the supreme court
fails to make a decision on the contest
involving the proposed amendment
prior to the time the ballots are print
ed.
1t was announced today from Bis
marCk that a decision in the New
Rockford Bismarck controversy, in
volving the legality Of the proceedings
that have so far been taken to place
the removal on the ballot, will be
forthcoming in a short time.
Secretary Of State Thomas Hall.
however, will print the proposed
amendment on the official ballots as
usual, unless a court decision restraints
him from so dOing-there being no
temporary injunction order.
Should a subsequent court decision
hold against New Rockford, it would
be necessary to print new ballots, pre-
vent the distribution of ballots that
may already be prepared, or file an or
der multiplying the effect Of the vote.

The president replied :

The president replied:
ALLOW me to acknowledge the re-
ceipt Of your telegram of August
eighteenth and to say in reply that
hold to the principle Of arbitration
with as clear a conviction and as
hrm q purpose as any one, but that
unfortunately there is no means in
existence by which arbitration can
be secured. The existing means have
been tried and failed. This situation
must never be allowed to arise again
but 1t has arisen. Some means must be
found to prevent it's recurrence but no
means can be found off hand or in 4
hurry or in season to meet the pres
ent national emergency. What ! am
proposing does not weaken or dis
credit the principle of arbitration. II
strengthens II. rather. 1t proposes that
nothing be conceded except the eight
hour day to which the whole economic
movement of the time seems to point
and the immediate creation of an
agency for determining all the ar
bttrable elements in this case in the
light. not of predictions or forecasts
but Of established and ascertained
facts. This is the first stage of the
direct road to the discovery of the
best permanent basis for arbitration
when other means than those now
available are supplied"
There were no outward Develop
ments, pending arrival Of the addi-
tiOnal railroad executives to whom
the president sent invitations.
President Wilson made no engage
ment for today in order to be ready to
continue negotiations with the rail-
road presidents. but it was thought
probable there would be no further
general White House conferences un-
I'll Tuesday. Although the railroad
executives continue to maintain their
position in opposition to the presi-
dents plan and in favor of arbitra-
tion, administration officials express
hope that ultimately they would de-
eide to negotiate on the basis pro-
posed by Mr.. Wilson.
II was understood that a counter
proposal was under consideration by
the railroad executives but that ii had
not yet reached a definite stage. It was
said to include arbitration of at least
some of the points at issue, with the
granting of others.
In the meantime kilograms urging
the president to insist on arbitration
arrived in large numbers at the White
House. Most of them were sent by
business men and firms and organi-
cations. Copies of many We're sent to
the railroad executives. Administra-
tion officials said the kilograms would
have no effect on the president since
he had tried to bring about arbitra-
ton had failed and had no way Of
forcing it.
