ISSUE STATEMENT

Washington. d. c., Aug. al
After a meeting of the national
conference committee held tonight
Chairman Elisha Lee issued
statement which in part was as
follows:
The railroads should grant. un-
der threat of a national strike a
$50, 100000 wage preferment to a
small majority of their employees
without a hearing before a public
tribunal Is inconceivable in
democracy like ours The weight
OF public opinion must determine
this issue. We cannot believe that
n is the calm judgment of the
country that we should sacrifice
the principle of arbitration"

San Diego, Cal. Aug. 2i.-Twenty-
five thousand people. the greatest
crowd he has faced since he left New
York, greeted Charles f. Hughes on
the exposition grounds here today.
1t was not demonstrative crowd.
1t was picturesque, typically redolent

was reserved for Mr.. Hughes demand
for firm policy across the border
which will protect the lives and prop

He struck "A new note. which was
generally applauded. in advocating
such progressive measures as the pro-
lection of women and children. con-
troll OF public utilities. safeguards for
labor and old age pensions.
Same Seething Conditions
Politics were submerged for the oc-
casion. but here as elsewhere. through
California there are observable the
same seething conditions growing out
of the war between the old guard and
the Progressivcs. And above and be-
yond the interest manifested in the
appearance of the distinguished stand
ard bearer is the speculation as to
whether Mr. Hughes and Governor
Johnson will meet before the presi-
Dental candidate leaves the State.
It has become the dominant issue
here and the old guard element Is as
tnsistent upon the point that a recog-
milton of Johnson by Hughes win lose
him the State, as the Progressives are
that he cannot carry the State with
out such recognition.
Here in San Diego County is one
of the anti-J ohnson stronghoids Old
Guard Republicans boosted to the cor
respondents within an hour after their
arrival that Johnson had never car
ried the county in any OF his cam
paigns: while in the battle of 1912
San Diego voted for Wilson because
