right.Hour Plan only Temporary

IyTITHOuT due consideration of the tenn
w porary character Of the whole plan of
settlement proposed by the President. many
commentators have given false value to his
insisleHce on The eeht-hour concession by
the railroads. While it is apparent from his
statement that the President believes the
eght-hour day 10 be reasonable basis it is
equally clear that he includes that feature
among the points 70 be considered in the
Establishments Of pay and practice after the
Impartial investigation provided for.
In other words, he does not intend 10 bind
the railroads to an eicht-hour day, except for
the period required for full investigation.
II was only for the same period that he per
suaded the hrotherhoOds TO relinQuish their
demand for time and half pay for overtime.
After the investigation has been concluded.
lnder the Presidents plan, all the points at
issue Will be considered anew including the

WASHINGTON, IL. IL, May ~
Secretary of the Navy Daniels has ap-
pealed to the President to use his
personal influence to save the re-
serves set aside in the California oil
fields for the use of the Navy. The
preservation of these reserves for the
development of fuel supply for the
Navy is, says Secretary. Daniels, a
vital step in the progress towards
national defense .... ..."..
A portion of these reserved oil lands
has been staked as private claims
and bill is now before congress legal
izing these claims and alternating them
from the public. ......
Secretary Daniels declares If this
bill becomes law the Navy loses the
valuable section of the reserve af-
fected by the claims, which had been
withdrawn, from entry by executive
order of President Taft, it will be
necessary for the Navy to abandon
all thought of going upon an oil fuel
basis and to return to coal as the only
available fuel. .....
