THEY ACCEPTED
THE INVITATION
Pending Their Arrival in
Washington, President
Wilson Will Not Discuss
the Matter Further with
the Managers, Who Were
Obdurate

New York, Aug. 1.-THE railroad pres
idents of the country have accepted Pres
ident Wilson'S invitation to come t,
Washington to confer with him. Severa
will leave this city this afternoon, ant
another delegation will leave from Chi
cago.
Washington, D. c., Aug. l7.-Presi
dent Wilson to-day invited the presidents
of the principal railroads of the country
to come to Washington Immediately to
confer with him on the threa tened strike
Pending their arrival he does not plan
to see the committee of managers here,
with whom he has been meeting
The president sent the following tele-
gram to the leading railroad presidents;
"The discussion of matters involved in
the threatened railroad strike has
reached point which makes it highly
desirable that | should personally con-
fer with you at the earliest possible
moment and with the presidents OF any
other railways affected who may be i'm
mediately accessible I hope you can
make 1t convenient to come to Wash
ington AZ once"
The presidents action in asking for a
conference with the railroad presidents
themselves is interpreted as meaning
that the managers committee had re.
fused finally to Aconcede the eight hour
day as President Wilson's plan proposed
and the question now is to be taken up
with the heads of the railroads them
selves.
The situation to-day was this: the
railroads fatty refused to concede an
eight-hour day but are willing to arb-
trate that question and all others before
any tribunal the president of the men
may decide upon; the men are willing
to arbitrate some of the questions under
certain conditions but are unwilling to
arbitrate others
This afternoon the president will pre-
sent his plan to the full committee Of
900 employees in the hope of getting them
to approve it. The result will be pre-.
sented to the railroad presidents later.
In case President Wilson finds that
any of the railroad presidents cannot
speak absolutely for their roads he may
invite to the White House the financiers
who control them. Officials said to-day
that the president wants to deal with
the ultimatum authority on both sides
in order that the negotiations may be
here.

ployes' committee, which charged that
the New York Railways company had
violated the agreement of Aug. which
brought the strike on the surface car line
to an end. Mr.. Shonts denied that his
company had discharged workers be-
cause of their affiliation with the car
mems union, and added that "in many
cases employees of this company have
clearly violated the rules of this com
pany, some of the violations increasing
the hazard and endangering the safety
of passengers on our cars"
In a circular distributed among the
the position OF the company
was defined in part as follows:
This company has not sanctioned the
of its men. 1t has said that
if an employe desires to join union he
shall not be prevented from doing so by
coercion. or intimidation; neither shall
be be discharged for joining. 1t has also
said that if an employe does not desire
to Join a union he shall not be eoerced
OF intimidated into doing so either by
unionized employees Of this company or
Of an organization not en-
ployes Of this company.

direction and control Of employees in all 4
matters looking 70 efficiency in the serv-
Ice. The most important item Of eff /

Eagle Pass, Tex, Aug 1.-THE Isl
Vermont got back to camp yesterday J
afternoon after engaging the enemy in 8
stand-up fight. The valog of the north
erners told in the end and the foe was
beaten off. OF course, the whole fight
was an imaginary one. The fellows were
merely carrying out the instructions is
sued in this weeks program.
| The three battalions met separate de
tachments of the enenlp. At least, they
assumed that they met the enemy They
had to assume several other things
among them that the enemy could not
withstand them and had to skedaddle
across the river. But their imaginations
were not the only agencies that led the
Vermonters to feel they won the fight
Their whole plan of attack was thought
out so well and carried out so we'll that

which meant that the trenches had to be

commodations for all

little excitement Tuesday night. Word

ranch It was discovered later that the
supposed Villistas were Carranzista sol
diers who planned no harm.
Some of the Vermont companies re-
turned to camp Sunday night from Leh-
manns, where they had been stationed

The office of county judge has again
as opposing candidates those veteran
ring masters of the game politics,
Hon, H. E. Dorval and the present
incumbent of the Office, Judge F. w.
Bleakley, and the campaign they are
pntting up this fall is setting the
pace for those who are new at the
game of getting around the county in
the chase for votes. There is no
need of either time or space being
taken here in recounting the splendid
record that Judge Dorval holds in the
past years Of an official career that
does nothing but reflect the high re
gard with which the pnblic view the
knowledge and legal ability with which
the affairs Of estates have been
probated. No man can make a
like showing of knowledge of matters
pertaining to the probate court. 1t has
been a life work with Judge Dorval,
me that has been given the undivided
attention of his best years. In these
and for other reasons there appeals to
all the older residents of the county,
irrespective of party, a desire to aid
in making Judge Dorval's majority of
this fall the biggest he has ever had.

When Sheriff Kelland's second term
as an incumbent of that office reaches
a close with the outgoing of the old
year it is one OF the looked for hap
penings of the outcome of this falls
campaign that his successor will be
the democratic candidate for sheriff,
Allan Mcdonald, of Milton. The town
of Milton was one of the first to be
located on the map of Cavalier county,
stands among the foremost in its BUSH
ness and political prestige, but as for
the latter Milton appears to have been
woefully overlooked when the politi-
cal loaves and fishes have been passed
around. This is one of the points of
vantage that loom up tstrong in the
splendid campaign that Mr.. Mcdonald
is making in his canvas of the county.
A resident Of the county for upwards
OF twenty years, one of the vigorous,
healthy type of manhood most often
found on the farm he fits in with the
ideal of the common people as to the
requirements of that position of great
responsibility in the family circle of
officials at the court house. His stand
ing in his home community assures a
solid backing at the polls. Another
advantage that Mr., Mcdonald possess
ses over his opponent is that of hav-
ing been Mr., Kelland's opponent in
the election of four years ago, when
he made the acquaintance of a large
number Of the voters over the whole
county. His vote November 7th may
be looked to give Allan Mcdonald a
place in the vanguard of the winners
Of the county ticket.
