WILSON VETOES THE
ARMY APPROPRIATION
BILL FOR ONE CLAUSE.
President Backs Up War De-
partment in Objections to
Revision of CourtS-MartiaI
Law.
CBy Associated Prsss.)


WASHINGTON. Aug. 1S.-President
Wilson today vetoed the army appropri'
alton bill because OF exemptions from
discipline for retired officers forced into
IL by the house conferees. led by Rep
resentative Hay, over the opposition OF
the war department. A new bill will
be necessary and may delay adjourn
ment OF congress.
Representative Hay said he would

the president objected eliminated.
Mr. Hay followed his announcement
by introducing the bill minus not only
the section to which the president OBJ
jected. but with the wnoIe revision of
the articles OF war eliminated. This
threatened to complicate the situation.
UNDER SPECIAL RULE.
Representative Hay announced that
he would seek To repass the bill in the
house under a special rule next Tues
day.
The articles of war will not be per-
mitted TO get through in this bill again"
he declared. after a conference with
several members OF the military COM
mittee.
The danger sOf complication lies in
the fact that Chairman Chamberlain,
OF the senate military committee. said
that II the house passed the bill without
provision OF the articles of war the SEN
ate would probably reinsert them, as
they were passed by the senate. The
president and war department were sat
izfied with that provision

"Why do women write such letters ? !"
In answer we say that never have we
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent of the woman
who wrote it.
The reason that thousands of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink

health and happiness into their lives,

A Threat to Tie Up the Subway, Elevated l.
and Surface Car Lines of New York

To the People of New York:
New York is again threatened with a street railroad
strike. this time involving every subway. elevated and
surface car line in the city. 1t is important that the
public know now the issues involved.
Officers of the Union have been empowered to call
an immediate strike unless the Subway and Elevated
agree to cancel contracts made with over 5000 of
their Employees:
Organizer w. B. Fitzgerald. of the Amalga.
mated Union. in Sundays newspapers publicly
avowed a purpose-failing compliance with his
demands-to
"Paraly.e the transit of New York A. it
has never been p~aralyzed before"
We have agreed to meet. this morning. a commit.
tee. headed by A~malga,mated Union officers. but repre-.
senting only a minority Of our men. The overwhelming
majority Of our men have already formed a Brotherhood
Of their own.
At the meeting this morning we shall repeat our
determination to stand by our agreements with more
than 5000 of our Employees.
The contracts with our Employees which we are
asked to annul give the men shorter hours and a sub.
stantial increase in pay-aggregating some 81. $50. 600 per
annum-the third increase by this Company since Janu
ary lst. 1915.
The schedules Of increased pay and shorter hours
embodied in the individual agreements. before submis.
sion to the men. had been considered and agreed upon at
conferences between Company Officers and Committees
of Employees.
Those Employees Committees had been elected at
secret ballot on Thursday. August 18th. by 9. 800 men
out Of IL 900 eligible to vote.
Conferences between the Company and the Com.
mttees thus elected took place before any other com
mittee. union or otherwise. had presented any requests
whatsoever.
The Employees Committees 50 elected made various
requests and. after full discussion. the increases in pay
and reduction Of hours set forth in the agreements were
accepted IS satisfactory by the mems representatives.
In the call for election of Employees representatives
the men had been asked to choose fellow employees in
whom they had the utmost confidence, who should
Be 'empowered' to speak for them.
The Company would have been justified. therefore. in
accepting agreements by these representatives with the
new and improved conditions of employment as express.
ing the views Of the Employees collectively.
The sun., 1916-09-05

In order that there could be no mistake and
that the Company might know definitely that the
new scheduled were satisfactory to the men, a con.
tract was prepared for submission to each man
Individually.
No man was asked to sign by any one selected by
the Company. or by any man with authority over Others.
Submission of the agreements to the individual men was
handled entirely by elected representatives of an over.
whelming majority of the men.
Those contracts give substantial benefits to the
men and were signed by more than two-thirds of all
our Employees for reasons good and sufficient
to them.
But representatives of the Union now demand that
we not only deal in the usual way with their committee
representing a minority of the men. but that we recall
and cancel agreements already made with over 5000 men.
In other words, an overwhelming majority of
Employees may not do what is agreeable to them
without threat of strike-with it's invariable sugges.
tons Of intimida tions, coercion and violence.
If this means anything. it involves an attempted
invasion of the fundamental right of freedom of contract
guaranteed to every citizen by the Constitution of the
United States. a right here exercised by more than 5000
of this Company's employees.
The public should know of another aspect of the
pending situation.

THE ISSUE

There is Just one issue involved in the proposed threat to tie
up the street railways of New York:
Shall the PETERBOROUGH Company be compelled to cancel
and annul contracts, creating improved conditions of
employment, voluntarily entered into betueen the Com
pany and more than 5000 of its Employees?
The sun., 1916-09-05

In the resolution empowering the Union officers to
call a strike on the Subway and Elevated. the "co-opera.
ton of the Green" surface car lines was solicited.
Such Incorporation" means a sympathetic strike. a
fact openly avowed in Sundays newspapers by Organizer
Fitzgerald in saying:
I'VE will tie up every car line between Yonkers
and Coney Island if the marlborough does not
accede to our demands"
There are no questions pending between the "C,reen'
car lines and their Employees. except those in process of
orderly adjustment. The New York Railways Company
is adhering strictly to its agreement of August 9TH. also
signed by the Union officers. and underwritten by the
Mayor and Chairman Straus.
The threat to tie up the whole transit system
is made in face of the clause in the agreement
covering the "green" car lines, providing that "ALL
disputes that may arise between the Company and
its Employees in the future shall be submitted to
arbitration."
. =
We sincerely hope that there will be no strike.
We believe. our position is sound. We know from
the voluntary signatures to these agreements that the
rank and file of our men are satisfied.
We regard those contracts as binding upon the
Company and those who signed them. We shall observe
them faithfully and we shall stand by those who entered
into them.

Worries MIR. Wilson-The Sub

Considered.

WASHINGTON. - President Wilson.
back in the White House for the first
time since the campaign began two
months ago, plunged into work lmme-
diatcly.
Taking it for granted that he had
been reelected, he asked no questions
about electoral votes. but he is anx-
ious over the political complexion OF
the next House of Representatives.
Through an interview with Secre-
tary Lansing the president got il
touch with pressing foreign problems,
including the submarine, Mexican and
British blockade issues and in a talk
with Henry MOrganthau, chairman or
the Finance Committee Of the Demo
cratic Committee, he learned the lat
est developments in the political sit
uation.
State Department officials believe
that dangerous possibilities are pre-
scented by recent developments in both
the Mexican and submarine questions.
Secretary Lansing said no imme-
date action is in prospect. Some de-
yelopment is expected soon at the
American. Mexican conference at At
Iantic Llty.
It was said that the presidents re-
election will mean no radical changes
in his policies. He feels that in gen
eral his course has been endorsed by
the nation.
However, as soon as the war Is over
the president will recommend revi,
sion Of the tariff, if he feels it Is JUS
titled by the facts to be gathered by
the new Tariff Commission.
The attitude of the government
toward submarine warfare laid down
in the note following the sinking OF
the Sussex and in pi evious communi-
cations will be followed, and the State
Department will continue to demand
American rights in connection with
the allied blockade and mail censor
ship.
II satisfactory agreement can be
reached for the protection OF the
American border and American lives
and property in Mexico it is believed
that the Unued States troops in Mex
leo will be withdrawn soon, although
strong force will be kept along the
border.
