BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Nov. 13.-Presldent
Wilson went back to work today but
asked no questions about the elector-
al votes taking it for granted that he
is reelected.
He displayed anxiety, however,
over the political complexion of the
next house. Through an interview
with Secretary of. State Lansing.
President Wilson got in rouch with
the pressing submarine and Mexican
problems and discussed politics with
Henry Morgenthau.
State department officials make no
secret of their belieS that dangerous
possibilities are presented by the re-
cent submarine and Mexican develop
ments. Secretary Lansing after con-
ference with the president today said,
however, that no immediate action is
in prospect.
1t was stated definitely today that
the presidents reelection will mean
no radical changes in any of his pol
icies. He is said to feel that in gen.
eral his course has been approved at
the polls. Regarding the submarine
developments it is said that the atti-
tude of the government laid down in
the note following the sinking of the
channel steamer Sussex woulu De fol
lowed strictly and the state depart.
ment will continue to press for Amer.
lean rights in connection with allied
blockade and mail censorship.
If satisfactory agreement can b.
reached for the protection of the Dor
der it is believed that American
troops will be withdrawn from Mex
leo, although strong force vii
doubtless be kept on the border.
President Wilson has told friend
that he will press congress for tn
passage of the rest of his program
on domestic legislation as soon a
congress convenes. The presiden
said he had no desire to make chang
in the cabinet. 1t was definitel
stated that no cabinet officers will
asked to resign either now or mex
March, although it is possible tina
one or more may wish to retire flo
personal reasons.

ADAMSON BILL
CONTEST MAY
CAUSE STRIKE
Conference Between Broth
erhoods and Officials Is
At Deadlock.
QUESTION MAY
BE ARBITRATED
Railroads Contend That For
mer Arrangement Was
Better For All.
BY AssocIATED PRESS


New York, Nov. 13.--The danger
of nationwide strike which was be-
lieved to have been averted by the
passage of the Adamson eight hour
law has not entirely disappeared.
This developed today when repre-
sentatives of the railroads and four
brotherhoods failed to reach an agree
ment as to the proper application of
the new law.
The announcement of the deadlock
came at the conclusion of the all day
of conference. William G. Lee, speak
ing for the brotherhoods, said that in
the event of evasion by the railroads
of the Adamson law the strike order
would probably be enforced.
S. E. Heberling, international pres
ident of the union, explaining to the
board that the mems pay had adj
vanced only or per cent since
1906, whereas the cost Of living had
increased more than rs per cent. He
said he thought the demands mod
crate, in view of this and the expert
service required and because the ac-
cupation was the 'tmost hazardous in
railroad work"
Horace Baker, general manager of
the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Tex
as Pacific Railway, said the cost of
living applied to both sides and that
the demands had been refused be-
cause the roads considered the pres
ent rates as fair and because the
present arrangement based on ten
hour day met general operating con-
ditions better than would the shorter
day asked. Mr.. Baker asserted that
the cost of maintenance and opera
ton had increased and that some ma
terial advanced $50 per cent in cost
The conference was called to dis.
cuss the working out of the provis'
ions of the law which goes into effect
January 1. The strike vote referred
to by Mr.. Lee is that taken prior tt
the conference between the railroads
and brotherhoods heads, and Presi
dent Wilson, which was followed BY
the passage of the Adamson law after
the brotherhoods had threatened Il
put the vote into effect at that time
! When the conference adjourned to-
day for luncheon, it was stated b,
brotherhood representatives that S,
far nothing had been accomplished
The brotherhoods' representative
said they had worked out an inter
probation of the eight-hour law, blu
they had refused to divulge it TO
the reason that the roads or, some o
them had announced their decision t
fightitthrough injunctions.
"a strike vote is still in effect,
said Mr.. Lee, "and if the railroad
do not live up to the very spirit an
intent of the law in accordance wit
their agreement, there is no reaso
. why the brotherhoods should nc
take advantage of their stronges
card. This time there is nothing ths
can stop them"

tor to Lippincott's Magazine, he dis
posed of cases that came up before
him with severity or clemency, ac-
cording to their merits in his eyes,
and without regard to law or prece-
dent.
In one instance two old negroes
went to law about a certain mule,
which each accused the other Of hav-
ing stolen. Inasmuch as the case
presented many amusing features,
the "kunl jedge' enjoyed it the first
day as a sort of special performance
for his entertainment; but the Sec
ond day he summarily dismissed
court, in order to 60 with hunting
party.
"Now, see heah; I'm tired of lis
