new YORK RESUMES
STREET CAR TRAFFIC

New York, Aug. 9.-New York has
resumed normal street car traffic after
a week of the strike.
Regular schedules began following
settlement of the difficulties between
employees and traction magnates after
a long nights session.
Although traction heads refused to
agree specifically to a recognition of
the union Of Amalgamated Assoc1a-
ton of Street, and Electrical Railway
Employees Of America they conceded
the right of the men to organize. They
promised to receive committees from
the union.
This was the greatest victory won.
1t Is the third victory in the big cities
in a little over a year. The other
triumphs were in Boston and Chicago.
Where extreme violence marked the
Boston affair the peaceful victory won
in Chicago about a year ago was ex-
ceeded in orderly conduct by the New

Conference Committees Report
an Agreement
TIED UP ON NAVAL MEASURE
Big Construction Program and Per.

Points in Dispute.

Washington, Aug. 8.-National de,
Tense legislation in congress is ap-
preaching completion.
The conference committee on the
army appropriation bill submitted a
complete agreement.
The conferees on the naval bill
voted to disagree on the big construc'
ton program and personnel increases,
the only remaining points of dispute
in that measure, so that the issues
might be referred back for quick set
tlement by the two houses themselves
President Wilson, navy department
officials and others are expected to
make a determined effort to induce
house leaders to yield to the senate
program for construction of s~ixty-six
vessels, eight Of them to be capital
ships, during 1917.
The house provided only for five
capital ships.
Agreement was reached by the con-
ferees on administrative features of
the personnel section, but they could
not get together on the question of
increases in the enlisted strength.
The administration is anxious that
the larger senate authorizations in
this section also be accepted.
The senate provided for a total en-
listed strength Of $4,000 and the house
for only 81 1000.
Secretary Daniels plan for promo
ton Of navy officers by selection in
stead of by seniority was accepted,
but was so amended that it would not
apply to officers lower than the rank
of commander.
Six members of the board of nine
admirals must agree on promotions, it
was provided.

TRUE INWARDNESS OF THE
VERA CRUZ INCIDENT.

In the Spring Of 1914, occur
red the capture Of Vera Cruz.
Men from one of u ships had
been arrested at Tampico and
had been discharged with an
apology. But our Admiral de-
manded a salute, which was re-
fused. Thereupon the President
went to Congress, asking au-
thority to use the armed forces
of the United States. Without
waiting for the passage of the
resolution, Vera Cruz was seiz-
ed. 1t appeared that a shipload
of ammunition For Huerta was
about to enter that port. There
was a natural opposition to this
invasion and a battle occurred
in which nineteen Americans
and over a hundred Mexicans
we're killed. This, of course,
was war. Our dead soldiers
we're praised for dying like
heroes IN a wal or service.
Later, we retired from Vera
Cruz, giving up this, noble war
fare. We had not obtained the
salute which was demanded.
We had not obtained repara-
ton for affronts. The ship with
ammunition which could not
land at Vera Cruz had soon
landed at another port, and its
cargo was delivered to Huerta
without interference. Recently
the naked truth was admitted
by a Cabinet officer. We are
now informed that 1--WE did not
go to Vera Cruz to force Huerta
to salute the flag" We are
told that we went there "to
show Mexico that we were in
earnest in OUT demand that
Huerta must CO." That Is, we
seized Vera Cruz to depose
Huerta. The question of the
salute was q mere pretext-

in such a way that its great weight Is

RAILWAY MEN SAID
TO FAVOR STRIKE

New York, Aug. S.-Railway labor
leaders have cleared the way for a

Counting of ballots of the four
brotherhoods has ended and there
seems no doubt the men have empow-
cred their leaders to declare a strike.
Labor leaders and railway officials
will now have a final meeting.
Unless the roads at that meeting
concede the eight-hour day and time
and one-half for overtime the most dis
astrous and far-reaching industrial
battle in the nations history will re-
suit.
Railway managers again emphasized
their, point that to grant the demands
will mean 500, 00O, 900 additional cost
yearly to their business.
