Order includes Mail as Well as Freish'
s&1@t Trains 60

Washington, Aug. 31.-Presidenti FL
liott Of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad, issued statement
declaring that the country might un-
derstand from President Wilson's ad-
dress to congress yesterday that only
freight service on the country's rail-
roads would be tied up by strike.
"Those who have not followed the
subject carefully and do not under
stand it's complexity," said Mr.. Ell
1iott, may assume from the Presi-
dents language that a strike order will
have no effect upon passenger train
service. This is not the case and IN
cluded In the order to strike are all
men in passenger train service, who are
members of the various brotherhoods." :"
Mr.. Elliott quoted part Of the in
structions issued to the men with the
strike order and underlined .his sem
tence in those Instructions.
$50 far as your legal right TO strike
is concerned, there lis no difference be-
tween mail train and a freight train. .
The pubic, the press ana and the ccn-
gress should understand clearly that
the strike order affects the mentwho
man the passenger mail, milk and ex-
press trains, just as much as those on
the freight trains, and that these
classes of service also must stand still
until their places are filed" Mr.. Ell
liotts statement concluded.

Mr.. Fairbanks In his speech OF ac-
ceptance paid particular attention to
the tariff question and the failure OF
laws enacted by the democrats. As
to Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy Mr..
Fairbanks said:
we regard the dealings OF tho
president with Mexico as vacillating.
He has been given a free hand and
had no one to blame for what he had
done or failed to do except himself. T
have tried, so far as my influence
would go. to uphold his hands, re-
gardless OF whether we agreed among
ourselves as 20 the seanaasss of E..s
policy. In foreign affairs we have al
ways been loyal to our constitutional
leader. Our patience has been put to
the test in Mexico. We have sharply
disagreed with the president but have
stood by him, nevertheless. We have
seen things go from bad to worse: We
have seen the butchery of our country
men upon both sides OF the border:
we have seen millions OF dollars worth
OF property destroyed, but we have
steadfastly supported him, and shall
continue to do so until the close OF tho
chapter OF his power. A settlement
day Is now at hand, not between the
president and Mexico, but between ths
president and the electors OF th 4
United States. Our patience IL e,
hausted and we believe our nation
interest requires new deal.
