BERLIN DENIES PEACE RUMoRs.
says Talk Of Gerard Bringing Message
Asking U. S. to intervene GroundIess.

Berlin, Oct 9.-The story circulat ed
abroad that the American ambassador,
James A. Gerard. is the bearer OF an
appeal from the German emperor for
peace Intervention by the United States
IS declared suthoritatively here to be
absolutely without foundation.
Ambassador Gerard II was said
GEARS no communications from Emper.
or William of any description and, as a
matter Of fact. when he left Berlin he
oio not even know that he was going
20 america. He had almost abandone
nope OF nearing from Washington con-
corning MS request for a leave OF alb
sence and thought he would probably
return TO Berlin after a week in Sve-
den, and SO informed the foreign office
officials before he left
Herr Won Jagow, secretary -o- for
eign affairs: Dr. Alfred Zimmerman,
the undersecretary for foreign affairs:
and DR.. Solf, secretary Of state for the
colonies all saw the American'ambas
sador the day before he left bu, his
visits were of a private nature and ba 4
no official character.
Ambassador Gerard's trim is ra
garded by officials here with no moro
sisnincance than leave taken by any
ambassador under similar circum-
stances. He has been on duty here for
three years and needed a vacation 70
which ne was entitled, and the present
time seemed TO be a suitable oppor-
tunlty. He will, il is understood. have
conferences with President Wilson ami
Secretary OF State Lansing. to whom
ne VIII be able to give more exhaustive
and more intimate reports Of the stu
alton than he could thru the regular
diplomatic channels, and his reports
are expected to be utilized by the pres
ident in determining his future policy.
Ambassador Gerard, as is natural
from his present career. is also kueely
interested in the coming presidential
election in the United States. but he
did not expect when he departed 70
play any particular role in the politi-
cal campaign. This is believed TO be
the extent of his mission"

Not an Eight Hour Bill.

ut is, therefore. wholly misleading to
refer to this bill as an eight-hour bill.
Let the bill be called by it's right name.
WHAT Is fair and right can afford to be
described correctly and can stand on
it's merits.
What is the purpose Of this attempt
to make the public believe that this
bill fixes an eight-hour work day?
Manifestly, in order to endeavor to
justify this extraordinary action of the
administration in its object and humil-
iating surrender of principle in de-
manding and securing this legislation
without any proper inquiry as the
price of peace. Evidently. 1t is felt
that a wage increase could not be JUS
titled in this manner. So 1t is sought
to give the impression that what was
done was to fix an eight hour work
day and that this was already ap-
proved by the judgment of society. A
shameless perversion! Even as an
eight hour work day the judgment of
society has never been passed on its
application to railroads with their road
divisions and tours of duty. The rail-
road employees themselves would desire
to be heard on this point. II there were
any such judgment of society, why did
the administration limit the applica-
ton of the bill to these particular en-
ployes? Is not the eight hour work
day quite as important for eight per
cent as for twenty per cent? What be-
comes of the suggestion that the
eight hour work day was granted not
because it was demanded. but because
1t was right On this assumption. why
not grant it to all railroad employees?
Is there any special Judgment of 80
ciety for the twenty per cent? The

To HELP CARMEN

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Efforts are
being made by John A. Moffitt and
James A. Smyth, United States medi-
ators, to bring about a conference
between the representatives of the
striking street car men and the Off
Gals Of the street car companies,
looking to a settlement of the strike.
The mediators are acting under in
structions of Secretary of Labor Will:
son, who sent them to investigate, on
request of Organizer Fitzgerald.
Street car service is very badly
crippled, and Organizer Fitzgerald
claims that there are still 11,O48 men
on strike, and that only 10 have re-
turned to work.
Governor Whitman refused to rem
der any assistance when appealed to
on behalf of the strikers. He an
swered by notifying Organizer: Fitz-
gerald that he had referred his re-
quest to the Public Service commits
sion, and there the matter rests for
the present:

URGES MUNICIPAL
GROCERY STORE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. "a mu-
nicipal grocery store may be San
Frtrcisco's answer to the present
high cost Of living.
Supervisor Charles Nelson decided
today he would soon introduce an Or
dinance providing for the esta blish-
ment of warehouse for distribution
of provisions at retail prices.
"A famine is facing the poorer
class in San Francisco by reason OF
increases in food prices" said Mel
son. II know of cases here where
families are actually going without
proper nourishment because of their
inability to pay the grocer and their
rent at the same time.
Unless there is a speedy improve
ment in conditions I propose to urge
esta ablishment Of new city depart
ment, municipal grocery, if you
like. It would involve purchase by
the city of huge quantities Of provi-
sions and holding them against pro-
hibitive prices that may develop.
These provisions could then be sold
at rock bottom prices-the city aim
ing to do nothing more than pay ex-
penses."

UNION, N, IS MAYOR

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 9.-Thomas
Van Lear, Socialist candidate for
mayor, and member of he Machin-
lists union, was elected here by a ma
jority of 5000.
The election is the result of a Wig
orous campaign waged by organized
labor and the Socialist party.
Van Lear in the primaries received
the highest vote in a contest in which
eight candidates competed.
Since then his opponents have left
nothing undone to cause his defeat.
They refused to discuss local issues.
Speakers were imported from ether
cities in an endeavor to cloud the is
sues.
Van Lear refuse'- to be drawn into
any Of these arguments, but made his
campaign strictly on local issues.
Organized labor stood behind their
candidate and contributed not only
their labor but their dimes and dol
lars.
Two Socialist aldermen and a men,
Der of the school board were elected
and one Socialist was elected to the
park board.

SEE METAL STRIKE

MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 9.-Hints of a
new metal trades strike to take place
soon here, were made by several of
the speakers in the m;;chinists' meet
ing in Kilbourn hall, Auditorium, last
night.
Emmett L. Adams, who handled
the recent machinists's strike here,
came from st. Louis to attend the
meel. g, and was given a rousing re-
ceptlon. He EXPRESSED in the strong
est language his belief that now that
the workers in Milwaukee had seen
the effect o: collective action, there
would never be pc: ce, contentment or
harmony in the Milwaukee field until
those were doing their part OF
the worlds work had secured for
themselves eondition3 at least equal
to those of other To- Alities.
]. Frank Blakely Of the printers
aroused the meeting to a high pitch
of enthusiasm in half hour talk. He
said the principle of unionism was
found in other ranks; only the low
yers, doctors and members of the
Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
Citations did not call their organiza-
tions unions. The cost of living, he
said. had gone up 81 per cent in 10
