PARIS PAPERS
ATTACK NOTE
ASKING PEACE

PARIS, Dec. 23.-President Wilson's
note and the statement of Secretary
Lansing continue to be the sensations
of the day and take precedence over
everything else in the morning papers.
The presidents action by no means
meets with favor among the commen-
tators who only vary in the manner
of expressing their opinion.
The principal reproach is in the
words of Stephen Pichon who, writ
ing in the Petit Journal, says:
"The note makes no distinction be-
tween the states who provoked the
war and those upon whom 1t was
forced. The belligerents, whoever
they are, see themselves treated in the
same manner by President Wilson.
He does not remember either the vio-
lation Of Belgian neutrality. the
crimes Of the submarine warfare or
any of the monstrous acts which re.
volted the conscience of his compat-
riots and that Of the civilized world.
Germany, her victims, Belgiars, Serb
ians or French, it is all the same.
America can appreciate this singu-
lar conception as she pleases. We
should be lacking in the first of our
duties in not holding it up as an out.
rage to our honor and our dignity"

FIVE CENT INCREASE

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The eight
hour day with straight pro rate time
for over time is granted to the Switch
mems Union by the Federal arbitration
board in decision today in the switch
mems controversy with the roads.
The award gives an increase of cents
per hour for both foremen and helpers.
1t was said here today on behalf
of the railroads that the award was
interpreted by them as mot giving an
o. X. to the Adamson law" The
switchmen had asked an advance of
10 to IL cents. They had demanded
also time and a half pay for overtime
work instead OF the pro rate base fixed
by the board.
While all six arbitrators signed the
award James B. Connors and w. A.
Titus, representing the switchmen, dis
sented as to the five cent increase, to
the denial of time and a half for over
time and to the award giving overtime
at the pro rate rate. E. F. Potter and
T. w. Evans, the railroad representa-
tives dissented to the award of the
eight-hour day. Thirteen eastern
roads are affected.

Suit for $4,000 damages was filed
today in the Union circuit court by
the law firm of Robbins, Keller and
Robbins, this city, against the Cincin-
natl, Indianapolis & Northwestern
railroad in behalf of Mrs. Matte Wax
ing, this city, and her son, Donald,
it being alleged in the suit that negli-
gence on the part of the employees of
this railroad resulted in the death of
William Waking, husband of the plain
tiff, on railroad crossing in Liberty,
November 6. A c. I. & N. w. train
struck an automobile Waking was
driving and he died a few hours later
from his injuries.
1t is charged that the train which
struck the Waking machine was being
operated at an excessive speed, over
35 miles an hour, that no signal was
given as the train approached the
crossing and that gravel car on
siding obstructed Waking's view of
the approaching train.
