Men in other than road ser vice will leave the service at the ap- pointed time.
 "So far as your legal rights to strike are concerned, there. is no dif- ference between a mail train and a freight train. You have identically the same right to refuse to perform service on a mail train as you have to refuse 10 perform service on a freight train.

WESTERN TENNIS STARS WIN THREE
 AT FOREST HILLS
Mclaughlin, Johnston and Griffin Prove Killjoys to Aspirations of the Eastern Racqueters.

FOREST HILLS, x. Y, Aug 2S.- Rain and wet courts interfered with opening play in the thirty-siXth an nual tennis singles championship tournament at the courts of the West Side Club today. But four of the siXty-four matches were played.
 In the singles matches William NJ. Jonston of San Francisco. national champion, defeated Howard Notman of Brooklyn, GO. 6-1, GO; Clarence J. Griffith of San Francisco, holder with Johnston of the doubles champ ionship. defeated E. C. Biggs of New York, S-6, GO, 6-2. Morris E.

 In none of the matches were the winners pressed al any time. Chief interest centered in the play of Me Loughlin, his first of importance in the east this season. While not ob- liged to exert himself, he occasionally unlimbered one of his famous service aces or terrific volley smashes,

CONGRESS MAY ACT ON RAILWAY STRIKE
(Continued from Page D

iNb Nbnlluutu fdSe II
 creased and a law creating authority for the operation of the railroads under the federal government in event of strike The plan tonight was to have the first two measures introduc- ed as amendments to the bill, which already has passed the House, in creasing the interstate commerce commission from seven to nine mem bers.
 While on the surface a nationwide railroad strike was nearer tonight than it ever has been, confidence was expressed that it could be held back.
 The President, realizing the disas- ter which would come to the country if the railroads were tied up, was said to be determined to prevent a strike at any cost. In his conference with executives he strongly urged that they change their hitherto un- yielding attitude and when he saw the employees he declared that all sugges- tions from the executives should be given most careful consideration. The final arrangements for the appearance of the President before congress were not completed tonight, but he discussed the situation with the Dem ocratic steering committee of the
 Senate and they agreed with him that he should address a joint session. The time of his appearance depends largely upon further conferences to- morrow with the executives and the employees.
 At todays conferences the rail
 road presidents did not present the statement prepared by them Friday
 night which amounted to a refusal of his plan. President Wilson was in formed verbally of its terms, however. Throughout the day there appeared to be some possibility that an agree
 ment might be reached on plan that would include concession of the eight hour day but postponements of it's ] effectiveness until the railroads had had an opportunity to prepare for it. Hope of persuading the railroad man
 agers to agree to the plan had not | been given up tonight.
 After their conference with MT. { Wilson. the executive gave out a statement in which they said they
 had laid before the president a "sug-
 sestion in the nature of a proposition ! for proceeding toward a solution Of | the situation
 c. O. p. To Block Plan ! Although it seems certain that | there will be opposition from Repub ' licans in congress to the legislative suggestions of the President. admin | istration leaders think it will be pos
 sible to get the laws through within a reasonable time.
 The visit of the brotherhood heads ! to the White House came within half an hour after the presiden; had left | the capitol They hurried from their ! hotel to the executive mansion and ! arrived shortly after seven o'clock. | while the President was at dinner. 1 Their conference with the President ! was brief He handed one copy of
 the railroads counter proposal to A. | E. Garretson. spokesman for the em- ployes. and said he would not discuss
 it in any way. It is known, however.
 that the brotherhood men gathered ! that he did not strongly approve of

it. Conversation about the strike or ! der followed and then the brotherhood | heads departed.
 Every effort was made to keep the call at the White House secret. The union heads returned to their hotel singly and by separate routes. Alter passing out the word that they would meet the committee of ? tomorrow morning to discuss the proposal they went to their rooms, declining aJso- lutely to discuss their conference.
 News that copies of the strike or der sent out yesterday was in the hands of the railroad presidents oc- casioned no surprise among the broth erhoods. After it became known yes terday that they suspected three ot their number as acting as spies for the railroad heads, they said frankly that they expected the strike order soon would be in their employers hands.
 More than 50,O00 copies of the or der it was learned today, were mailed out of Washington last night, and each of the committee of $40 also re- ceived a copy. Copies in the hands of the executives are supposed to have been mailed back here from nearby points.
 There was one traitor among the twelve disciples" one of the brother hood heads said, 'and our average ap- pears to be higher than that
 Labor Day Set
 Labor Day was agreed upon as the time for the tentative strike order to become operative, it developed today, after careful consideration of several dates. It finally was chosen because of the belief that a demonstration of 2,00O, 600 or more union men who will march in Labor Day parades in be- half of the brOtherhOods would have the effect of winning much public support for the strikers. By Labor Day, also, the strike order will have been scattered to all points on all divisions of the country.
 Although the strike order is for o'clock next Monday morning. all lines affected probably would not be tied up before some time that night if the order were released.
 All Trainmen To Strike Every member of the brotherhoods, whether an employe on a passenger freight or mail train is subject tC the strike order. Brotherhood heads intimated last week that supply trains running to the Mexican border, some passenger trains, and possibly some milk trains would be exempted. To night they declared that all trains would be tied up.
 We hope to tie up all freight and passenger trains,' one of the leaders said

4 COST OF LIVING INQUIRY

There is promise that the inquiry
into living costs in Washington will
be under way within a few weeks.
Congress is expected to pass the
pending resolution soon after it re-
convenes. 1t will be either useless
or otherwise, according, as it is con-
Quoted.
An inquiry into living costs here
could easily be made representative
Of the whole country; practically, of
the world. There are exceptional
details that differ in countries and
lesser communities; but the general
facts are of pretty nearly universal
application.
If the investigation is intended to
hear on the relation of wages to
living costs, it may have a very
specific application and the great
est Importance right here; for it
will, if properly conducted, demon
strate the inadequacy of Govern
ment wages and salaries, which are
the largest source of income to
Washington people.
A verdict against the forestallers
in Chicago, or the warning nations
OF Europe, or the packers, butchers,
bakers or candlcstick fabricators
will not help much. A verdict that
Uncle Sam scandalously underpays
10000 employees in this town would
have real point.

ian merchant marine. She is de-
scribed as one Of the biggest freight

will remain on the California-Pan-

Changing her ownership and reg
istry merely makes her a naval aux

States. She may be withdrawn at
any time from her present routings
and used elsewhere, or may be COM
Wandered as a transport or collier.

ION THE AMERICAN PLAN"

Mt. Lassen is reported in erup-
tom Lassen is a California vol
cano, recently come to life after an
indefinite period Of quiescence
during which it was commonly re-
garded as extinct. 1t is now kick
ing up a scrumptious disturbance;
if its name were Vesuvius or Etna
or Stromboli, vt would be on the So
ciety pages of all the worlds seismic
news. Being only a nouveau richie
American upstart volcano, it squeaks
in with the commonalty.
All the same, Mt. Lassen is
one Of the biggest of 'em. It is
10,437 feet high, which is two and
one-half times the altitude of
Vesuvius, the worlds leading vol
cano. 1t is of just about the same
height as Etna. We don't recall the
tallth of Pelion and Ossa; but we
do know that two Vesuviuses would
make poor showing alongside this
splendid sample of the producing
capacity of the country that has the
biggest and best of everything, and
could click the world" if at the

THE BRITISH AND FRENCHLOANs

The new British loan of $500, 0OO,-
900 is to be secured by the deposit
of an interesting aggregation of
securities which have been modified
by the British government. The
list, as announced generally in the
advertisements Of the underwriting
syndicate, suggests that the supply
of available securities of the gilt
edged class is not so plethoric as
once. There are securities of Amer
lean railroads, of the Canadian Pa
cific, of several neutral govern
ments, and of dividend-paying Brit
ish roads. The inclusion of this
latter class of collateral is an init
nation that the bottom of John
Bulls strong box has been scraped
pretty closely for non-English
paper. Further, government Sc
curities of several of the self-gov-
erning British possessions are In
cluded.
Even with $36O,OOO,OOO worth of
this class of securities back of it, the
loan will earn about 5.85 for in
vestors. On top of it is announced
a French industrial loan of $780,

THE DOMESTIC SERVANT

Washington club women are going
about the business of raising the
standard of domestic service in an
original and interesting fashion.
Through a contest for awards to be
given to domestics longest in the
service of a single family, they are
compiling a blue book of faithful
servants.
Just why the efficient servant in the
household has never been accorded
any recognition such as is given
in nearly every other line of effort,
is a problem. For various reasons a
stigma attaches to service as a cook
or maid, while the nurse, for ex-
ample, is regarded as a professional
person. This feeling toward domes-
tics is partly relic Of slavery days
and of European caste distinctions.
The work of the servant In the
household never has met with the
recognition which would encourage
the workers TO a pride IN their &C.
cupation. In many cases the finan-
cial awards have been greater than
in any other lines of work. The
supposed loss of dignity, not the poor
pay, seems to be the principal handi-
cap under which the domestic labors.
To overcome this is the business Of
the employers if they desire better
maids and cooks, and that is the pur-
pose of the District of Columbia Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs In their
present effort. The monetary awards
they will give will be less priced
one suspects, than the implication
that goes with them of an apprecia.
ton of good work well done for a
long period.

GREECE ON THE VERGE OF WAR

The way of the neutral is hard.
Greece has been persistenCly neutral;
at least, its government has been
determined to maintain such an at
titude. Now the country is al
most in the hands of the allies; a
provisional government has been set
up by the Vepizelist party; the
country has lost all hope of the ma
tional career that the war might
have opened to it; its navy has been
turned over to the entente; German
submarines are sniping off Greek
merchant ships without regard, and,
finally, a clash between Greek
royalist and Venizelist troops is i'm
minent.
Venizelos forces seized the town
of Katerina, drove out the royalist
garrison, and are reported liable to
be attacked at any moment by an
other royalist force which is only
a few miles away. Unless the al
lied forces at Saloniki intervene, by
way Of policing the country, the
clash seems inevitable.
Civil war, atop the chaos of poll
tics, commerce, finance and social
organization, would indeed make
Greece the most unfortunate of all
the wars victims. This war is
leaving few and thorny places for
neutrals in the world.

WHAT KEEPS THE CARS BUSY

Anybody looking for an explana-
ton of the coal shortage just at
this season, will find illuminating
information in a statement of the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, appertaining to the ship
ments of motor cars in October. 1t
appears that they totaled 1850
cars. This was the largest months
shipments in the history of the in
dustry. One year previous, October,
1915, holds second place; with
17,84S cars.
Automobiles constitute a pretty
large drop in the bucket Of indus
trial shipments; quite little splash,
in fact, The iron and steel manu-
facturers report similar expansion
Of their tonnage, all to be moved
by the rails. In almost every other
direction there is the same testi-
mony to great increase of demand
on the railroads.
Automobiles probably occupy the
cars longer, and have to be hauled
farther, than the average of other
freights. They are distributed from
the interior to all sections Of the
country, pretty uniformly in rela-
ton to population. In the year
ended June Is last, over 500, 000,-
900 worth of motor vehicles were
exported from this country. -.

COLONEL PROMISES
N. Y. TALK
Has Speech With "A Kick in II"
for Cooper Union Gathering
Tonight.

ABOARD ROOSEVELT TRAIN,
BUFFALO, N. Y. Nov. 3.-Colonel
Roosevelt today promised IAN entirely
new speech with kick in IT, when he
appears at Cooper Union in New York
tonight His theme will be Americanism
with heretofore untouched angle.
An usual. he will preface his prepared
address with more verbal filings at
President Wilson's foreign and Mexican
policies and at his fine words
He had prepared a, speech on Ameri-
canism and 'industrJalism for Cleveland
when he spoke to 5000 at the armory
last night and to three thousand more
who gathered In the rotunda Of the city
hall as an overflow, but the speech OF
President Wilson at Buffalo Wednes-
day stung him into an Introductory ex-
temporaneous talk that took up most Of
his time at the former place. He used
most OF his industrial topic at the city
hall overflow.
At the armory meeting Roosevelt was
particularly denunciatory In his criti-
cism of President Wilson. Bryan, and
Secretary Baker. He scored the Presi-
dent for speaking OF me always in the
evasive third person plural"

clared in his falsetto. us he too

100000, at prices that will net the

Some of the financial commenta-
tors have opined that the recent IN
terview Of Henry P. Dawson on
the financial, military, and business
conditions in France and Britain,
was a feeler preliminary to the ex-
pected offer of great loan Secured
only by the governmental credit of
one or both these countries. There
is much speculation as to the recep-
ton that investing America would
accord to such a loan. Thus far,
there has been mighty small indi-
cation of sentimental interest in the
cause of the allies. The rates and
the securities offered have been so
attractive as to insure investment
in them. The real fiscal test will
come when, with the great debt al
ready piled high, the entente coun.
tries undertake to revert to plain
governmental credit.
Considering the billions of col
laterals that France and England
have been able to mobilize, and that
the central powers have been I'M
able to attempt matching this store
of wealth in the financial markets,
it must be apparent that the allies
possess marvellous advantage in
facing the prospect of a long war.
