WILSON AND THE RAILROADS.
Here's a quotation from a Chi
cago News editorial:
In their extraordinary and IN
reasonable attitude the railroad
brotherhoods have the ardent sup
port of the president of the United
States. The situation constitutes a
challenge to the manhood of all
Americans. Yet surrender of the
arbitration principle in the face of
threats of force is urged upon the
railroad managers by President Will
son. Is it cowardice or politics? The
answer is, apparently, that President
Wilson, armed with the enormous
power of the government, has the
courage of his gigantic egotism and
purposes to do exactly as he pleases
to suit his own special views"
Where was that sacred principle Of
arbitration when the Chicago pub
fishers locked out their union press
men?
Did Vic Lawson hoIer for arbitra-
ton then? Or did he join in with the
other publishers and hire gunner
and sluggers to shoot and beat the |
pressmen into submission?
! Everybody in Chicago knows the |
answer. The publishers did what the |
railroads did in the A r. U. strike.
They resorted to force. The rail- |
roads spurned arbitration when they
could win with force. They turned |
to arbitration only when they were
licked All their pretended love for
arbitration now is hypocrisy. |

 News of renewed activity by Zapata followers in southern Mexico, officially reported today to the state department, may change the military dispositions of the Mexican forces in Chihuahua. If the situation is as serious as indicated, Gen. eral Obregon may be compelled to recall some of his forces in the north. It has been stated, but without specific author ty, that 5G.000 men were being concen- trated in the north Official reports have placed the number at 10000. At any rate, officers here think a large enough portion of Carranzas available forces have been moved north to weaken his

 There were TO indications today that the state department was preparing to make an early reply to the demand for withdrawal or for definite statement of the United States toward Mexico.
 It Is known that officials feel that the purposes of the United States has been stated over and over again and in lan- guage that would bear no misconstruc- tion.
 They feel also that the good faith of those statements has been demonstrated on so many occasions that they cannot be questioned seriously. Their attitude in this connection may be reflected in the American. reply.

 ayes stirred the democrats to repeated cheering. The four negative votes were cast by Representatives Browning, New Jersey, and Graham, Pennsylvania, re- publicans Randall, California, prohibi. tionist, and London, New York, socialist.
 With passage of the bill thf House completed the major portion of i.J share in the preparedness programme. Of the three bills carrying the important pro- visions of the programme-the army, na- val and Qualifications measures-only the last named remains to be considered. It probably will be taken up in the House after the national con~Gltions, while the Senate is debating the naval bill.
 Twenty-Five democrats voted with the republicans today for the motion to re- commit and increase the building pro- gramme, and there were indications to- night that the proposal to provide for at least two battleshps would find strong support among democrats in the Senate.
 ADDED A CRUISER
 The two dreadnaughts recommended by Secretary Daniels were stricken out of the bill by the House committee and an additional battle cruiser substituted as a compromise to meet the demands of the so-cailed group of the little navy men, Although the House voted down most of the recommendations of minority re- port submitted by republican members of the committee. increases totalling more than $40,C000O0 were added to the com mittee measure. Of this $22, 900 000 covers an amendment adopted increasing the number of submarines authorized to 5o. The committee had recommended only 20. Other provisions added during de- bate carry s11,00O.0O0 for a government ,,Io +a Y>1o e., ment of the navy yards at Charleston.
