yesterday-I did a million dollars worth
of day-laboring work. 1 was the first man
of the company to report and the captain
of my company-who, you may remember
as Of Baltimore, having entered the
army from civil life-put a rake in my
hand. I looked at him and he looked at
me. Then he smiled and remarked that

one of the tents and put on my uniform

and rags and pieces of boxes and all the
old shoes and socks their entire family
connections could muster for the express
purpose of leaving them in those tents for
me to clean up. carry away and burn.
But there was another individual. also

Road Building Argument.

It is expected that Gov. Stuart will
be considerably Influenced in favor of
reciprocity by the fact that District
motorists are subscribing to a fund
now being collected by the A. A A,
District of Columbia Club, for the pur-
pose of building a modern motor high
way between Washington and Rich
mond.
The Alexandria county representa-
tives told the governor that their
county would suffer an enormous COM
mercial loss if the motor traffic from
Washington were cut off through a
continuance of arrests. They declared
that, as their own county benefited by
motor travel, other counties would sim
ilarly prosper, and that the total
license revenue Virginia would receive
from District motorists would in no
wise compensate the state for its com
mercial losses through demanding that
these tourists show Virginia tag.
Secretary Ullman pointed out that
everywhere in the land states, coun-
ties, cities and towns are today strug-
CLING to get on the line of the great
motor highways, just as they fought
to get on the line of the railroad nifty
years ago: that motor traffic has long
been a source of much prosperity to
many communities, and that travel by
motor car is increasing enormously
each year: that, statements to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, motor touring
is not inexpensive, and those VINO IN
dulge in it needs must have money TO
spend: that they do spend money and
leave a golden trail of prosperity be-
hind them. and that if Virginia is to
share in this prosperity good roaos,
free of access. must be forthcoming

Railroad Managers Commit
tee Preparing Plea to Presi-
dent Wilson.
EIGHT-HOUR PLAN TO BE
HELD IMPRACTICABLE
Statement Also May Attack Stand
of Four Brotherhood Chiefs.
Change in Attitude Seen.

Another appeal to President Wilson
from the railroads. setting forth argu-
ments In favor of arbitration, is being
prepared today by the managers COM
mittee. This appeal is fortified with
extensive statistics which are being
compiled by the leading statisticians
of the roads, who were summoned to
Washington. 1t is expected that this
document will be ready for presenta-
tion to the President tomorrow.
The railroad executives aim to show
that the Presidents statement that the
roads that have the eight-hou day
have not suffered by it is due to mis-
information. They will also point out
that the roads which have the eight
hour day do not have it on any such
comprehensive scale as is proposed in
the Presidents plan. but use the eight
hour schedule only for through freight,
while the Presidents peace proposal
would enforce eight hours in all freight
movements. They will argue that the
railroad freight business is different
from the business of manufacturing,
and that the eight-hour hedule is i'm
practicable.

All Arrests in County.

1t was in Alexandria county that all
recent arrests of District motorists
were effected. With assurances from
the officials of that Jurisdiction that
no more arrests will be made. local
motorists may cross the Potomac with
out fear of being inconvenienced to
prove that they have not exceeded the
fifteen days annually permitted them
in Virginia. much less having a fine
inflicted.
The journey of the committee to
Richmond was made to convince Gov.
Stuart that reciprocal relations with
the District would be greatly to the
benefit of the entire state of Virginia,
and to secure an executive order es-
tablishing reciprocity.
While the committee is of the belief
that the power to establish reciprocal
relations with any other jurisdiction is
invested in the Office. the governor has
sought an opinion of the attorney gen.
ersl. Following the receipt of this
opinion he will make known his de-
cision, provided, of course, that the
decision rests with him.

May Attack Brotherhood Heads.

1t is rumored that this new state
ment by the railroads will contain an
attack upon the stand against arbitra
train service brotherhoods-A. B. Gar
retson of the conductors, W. s. Stone
of the engineers. w. S. Carter of the
enginemen and firemen and w. G. Lee
of the trainmen.
that the attitude of the leaders of the
four brotherhoods toward arbitration
has undergone marked reversal since
1913, when Mr.. Garretson, Mr.. Carter
and Mr.. Stone, who are now refusing to
consider arbitration, appeared before
the Senate committee interstate
commerce and strongly advocated the
passage of the Newlands arbitration
law. under which the railroads are now
asking that the present controversy be
adjusted.
All of the four present heads of the
brotherhoods were members of the COM
mittee which drafted the Newlands act,
as were a number of railroad officials,
Seth Low, president of the National Civic
missioner of the bureau of labor statis-
tics, and Martin A. Knapp. then judge of
the United States Commerce Court and
now chairman of the United States board
of mediation and conciliation, created un-
der the Newlands act. Messrs. Garretson,
Carter and Stone appeared before the
Senate committee or June 20, 1913, and
urged the passage of the measure.
From the report of hearings before the
committee on interstate commerce, United
States Senate, on bill S. 2o17, June 90,
1913, an official document, may be gained
an idea Of the attitude of the brotherhood
heads at that time.

Favored Mediation Bureau.

Mr.. Stone was opposed to the idea of
a single commissioner settling wage con-
troversies and favored the bureau of
mediation.
There is not any question" he said,
about the power Of these organizations
(the brotherhoods), and there is not any
question that they believe in the justice
and equity Of their position. and If this
plan we propose here Is something which
both parties can get together on and have
industrial peace. then it seems to me that
in all fairness for the great class of men
we are trying to represent, and you men
who are looking after the interests OF
these 2S,000.000 men who are served by
the railroads in this eastern territory,
this bill should be passed. When
you are arbitrating under the law you
have a moral effect you do not get in any
other way"
Mr.. Stone urged the passage of the bill
without amendment, because he said,
II am afraid that If You commence to
amend it you will destroy the very thing
we are trying to bring about, and that Is
industrial peace"

STANDARD OIL BUILDS
MODEL ROADS

Though little known in this
state. it is nevertheless fact
that one of the largest corpora
tions in the world has. in Louis
lana. a complete plant for the
manufacture of every variety
of street paving asphalt
and surfafe oils. This is lOcat-
ed in connection with the big
refinery of the Standard Oil
Company at Baton Rouge. Some
Of their model roads are within
the grounds of the plant and
are combination of Tioga
gravel from Alexandria and are
sheeted with an eighty-five per
cent mixture of liquid asphalt
on clean sand and pea gravel.
This surface treatment costs
from eight to ten cents per
yard. Another model road
built by the Standard Oil Com
any is that leading from Baton
Rouge to the refinery and is
known as the Bayou Sara Road.
Another in East Baton Rouge
Parish, was built as model
road for the Louisiana Highway
Commission.
Those cOnversant with the
good roads movement in Louis
lana credit the Standard Oil
Company with being one of the
most liberal and consistent sup
pOrters of good roads in this
state. and while benefiting it
