HEA WY RAIN COOLS
 MILITARY CA MP TO THEJOY OF SOLDIERS
General Bricken Awaiting Word From Washing ton Regarding Courtmartial of Private Harry Goldberg -Battalions Detailed to the Rifle Range Religious Services Observed Through out the Camp

Montgomery. August 6-(Special.)-A heavy rain and wind early Sunday afternoon kept the usual Sunday visitors from the encampment. but the spirits of the boys were not even dampened. They had not seen any rain for the past week and by far the majority of the dear zoo soldiers seemed to enjoy the rain be- cause of it's cooling effect upon the at. mosphere. The sun was beaming down upon the encampment until about o'clock and the thermometer registered around 92 in the shade, but in less than 10 minutes after the rain began falling the temperature had dropped to 70.
 Due to the system of drainage at the encampment, the company streets had no water standing in them 20 minutes after the rain ceased and in spite of the high wind that accompanied the rain. no water was driven up to any of the tents of the camp.
 Sunday was quiet day for the soldiers. Religious services were conducted at each of the three regimental headquar- ters Sunday morning. Lieut.. H. J. Geiger. chaplain of the Second regiment. held

services for his men. Lieutenant Jones, chaplain of the Fourth regiment, con- ducted the services in his regiment, and Captain Crosby, chaplain of the Frst regiment, conducted the services at the regimental Headquarters of the irst reg iment. Probably the largest number of men to attend the services any Sunday since the troops were mobilized at Van- diver park attended the services today. The twilight services of the First regiment. which were to be held at 6:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. were called off because of the indictment weather, as was the ceremonies usually conducted with retreat"
 General Bricken Sunday afternoon is- orders for the First battalion of the Fourth regiment to proceed to the rifle range early Monday morning and 70 re- main there throughout the day to receive instructions in the use of the army rifle. The weather permitting, the plan for rifle practice now is for the Second battalion of the Fourth to be on the range Tues- day, the Third battalion Wednesday, and the the First battalion of the First regi- ment and so on each day until each

NEW YORK CAR STRIKE WILL BE SETTLED
 TODAY BY MITCHELL
Mayor of New York Issues Statement Which Claims to Have Found Basis of Settlement of Differences Between Employees and Employers. Street Railway Directors Will Consider Pro- pOSals Today

"The meeting of the board of directors and the meeting of the employees will be held tomorrow and upon ratification of the proposed settlement by both sides the men will immediately return to work and service will be resumed on the entire New York railways system"
 The terms of the proposed settlement were not made public.
 Announcement that settlement was in prospect came soon after all the com panies operating surface cars in Manhat- tan, the Bronx and Queens had ordered to the barns the cars which had been op- erated, during the day. No attempt was made to supply Sunday service on Staten Island (Richmond).
 Police reports indicated that about 45 per cent of the normal Sunday car serv- ice was maintained during the day by the companies affected. Two uniformed po- llicemen rode on every car. There were few minor disturbances.
 Secretary of Labor Wilson arrived here today to confer with Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, but he denied that his visit had any connection with local labor troubles or with the threatened nationwide rail- road strike.

These Measures Elements of Unrest to Administration
 and Party Leaders
THERE IS NO UNITY OF ACTION AT PRESENT
Both Propositions have Political Bearing and Their Solving in Right Way Means Votes
 in November
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Washington, August 6.-(Special) )-The child labor bill and the immigration bil-the passage of either of which would effect the campaign-are elements of un- rest for President Wilson and Congress.
 Because the child labor bill was em- barrassing to certain southern members of Congress, and because the immigra- ton bill was embarrassing to the Pres ident, the democrats in caucus concluded to carry both measures over to the win ter session.
 But the President, influenced. it is said, by Vance Mccormick, chairman of the democratic executive committee, de- manded the immediate passage of the child labor bill. The opponents of that bill for several reasons, prepared to offer as an amendment, the immigration hill

SECOND CAUCUS CALLED

So troublous became the situation that a second caucus was called. Democrats therein agreed to vote down the pro posal that the immigration bill be passed as an amendment to the child labor bill But IS democrats were not present, seven voted against the effort to strangle the immigration bill, and two left the hall before the vote was taken. And there is the situation. If the democrats who did not attend the caucus, institute filibus- ter, or attempt "any honorable method by means of which to defeat the child la bor bill," there will be interesting de- velopments in which the republicans will have an opportunity to make hay while the sun shines"
 So dangerous is the atmosphere, as a matter of fact, that conservative mem- bers-even some of those who vote for child labor legislation-are inclined to be- lieve that the President should have in- dorsed the first action of the caucus and suffered the postponement of both bills.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-08-07
THE REASONS CITED

Reasons advanced for such preparation follow: In the opinion of the great ma jority of the members of Congress, the immigration bill is one of distinct merit; it is demanded by labor throughout the United States, and is regarded as vote getter'
 President Wilson threatens to veto the bill because it provides that an immi- grant, before admission, must submit to a test of his literacy. It is declared to be certain that Congress would pass the bill over the veto of the President.
 In a campaign year, such treatment, it is admitted, would be embarrassing to the President. Opponents of child labor legislation, however, take the position that if the President, because of the un- changing political complexion of the south, is without consideration for them, he should be willing to take spoonful of his own medicine
