WILSON'S POLICY
TIMID, SAYS R.
Continued from page 1

that it was their duty in this crisis
to forget petty squabbles and help to
defeat President Wilson.
The Colonel also deviated from his
prepared speech to urge the election
of Frederick Hale and Bert NJ. Fernald
to the Senate.
A significant feature of the speech
was the Colonels failure to touch on
the tariff. Old guard Republicans
have been insisting that the tariff is
one of the principal issues in Maine,
but Colonel Roosevelt does not think
so. To him Americanism and all that
IL stands for is the real issue here,
and he believes that Mr.. Hughes also
holds this opinion.
The Colonel also spoke at overflow
meetings in the Empire Theatre and
the Union Square Theatre, and re-
viewed an old-fashioned torchlight
parade Of 5000 voters from AndroscOg-
gin County, a Democratic stronghold
in former years.
Colonel Roosevelt left for Farming
dale after his speech. He will visit
his sister, and will return to New York
on Saturday.
Hits at the Hyphens.
Colonel Roosevelt prefaced his
speech with the remark that he wished
to make no partisan appeal, and, turn
ing to the question of hyphenated ac-
tivity, said:
"Any attempt to organize American
citizens along politico- racial lines is a
foul and evil thing. Any organization
of American citizens which acts in the
interest of a foreign power Is guilty
of moral treason to the republic. 1t is
because of such action that | condemn
those professional German Americans
who in our politics act as servants and
allies of Germany, not as Americans
interested solely in the honor and
welfare Of America; and | would con-
denim just as quickly English-Ameri-
cans or French or Irish
Americans who acted in such manner.
During the last two years we have
seen an evil revival in this country Of
non-American and anti-American divi-
sion along pOlitico-racial lines; and
we owe this primarily to the fact that
President wilson has lacked the cour-
age and the vision 20 lead this nation
in the path of high duty. and by this
lack Of Affirmative leadership has loos-
ened the moral fibre of our people, has
weakened our national spirit, and has
encouraged the upgrowth within our
own borders of separatism along the
lines of racial origin"

BIG RAILROAD
STRIKE AVERTED
Both Sides Agree TO i. s.
Mediation.
DEMANDS WERE REFUSED

Brotherhoods Accept Offer of Federal
Board, Brought in at Request oi
Managers.
The threatened strike Of the 100000
railway employees of the United
States was averted when the railroad
brotherhoods accepted proffer of the
United States board of mediation and
Cancellation in New York to mediate
their differences with the railroads.
ANNOUNCEMENT of the acceptance O.
the offer was made by A. B. CarEet
son, president of the Order OF RailTIJ
Conductors, after 1t had been deliy2re
by G. w. w. Hanger, member Of tf'
board, following an appeal to th;
body to intervene made el!llef in IT,
day by the National Conference {
Railway Managers.
Mr.. Garretson said he had informe
the board that the offer was accept
on the condition that Its SoJd ofllGcS
are promptly exercised"
The federal board which is compos
ed of Mr.. Hanger, Martin A. KNAPP
and Judge w. l.. Chambers, was
pared to begin conferences with the
respective sides to the controversy.
The procedure of the federal board
Is to meet each side separately, le2rn
their attitude and attempt to obtain
concessions from each as a basis on
which settlement can be reached
when they are again brought together.
"The federal board of mediation and
conciliation has notified u.s." read Mr..
Garretson's statement, that it has re.
ceived the request of the managers
conference committee to exercise its
friendly offices in an effort to bring
about an amicable settlement of the
questions that exist between the con.
ference, committee of the managers
and ourselves. Our answer was to the
effect that we would accept the medi
ators' proffer of their friendly offices
provided it was promptly exercised"
The national conference of railroad
managers had rejected the mems de-
mands. They proposed that they be
mediated by the federal tribunal. The
brotherhoods refusing to join in an
appeal to the tribunal, the railroads
made an individual appeal. The federal
board then offered its services to the
brotherhoods.
Mr.. Garretson, reiterating the con.
tention of the brotherhoods that in
previous attempts to settle differences
with the railroads through the federal
boards the brotherhoods had failed to
obtain satisfactory awards, said that
the unions believed they could reach
a settlement by dealing directly with
the roads.
Mr.. Garretson explained to newspa
permen that the unions had not de-
clined mediation unequiVocally, but
had refused to join with the railroads
in asking for it, because they did not
believe in it at this time. The con-
ductors' chief, together with his col
league, Warren S. Stone, reiterated
that their position was that they had
not yet exhausted all the possibilities
by dealing directly with the railroad
managers.

155 New Cases Are Also Reported
in the City.
The epidemic of infantile paralysis
showed another slight decline in
New York, and health experts who
are fighting the scourge here were
more hopeful that the cool weather
which relieved the city would check
the spread of the plague materially.
The daily bulletin of the health
department shows that in the twenty
four hour psfiod thirty-one children
died of the disease and 165 new cases
were reported. These figures compare
hopefully with Thursdays when thirty
eight children were killed by the
plague and 173 stricken.
