FAIR SITUATION
STILL UNSETTLED
Governor Gates and State Board of
Health to Discuss Question in Rut-
land This Evening

Gov, Charles w. Gates and the state
board of health will meet this evening
in Rutland to discuss the advisability
of putting a ban on the holding of ag.
ricultural fairs in the state this fall
The Governor is an old official of a fair
himself and appreciates what the vari-
Gus fair associations are contending
with this year.
Fair officials are satisfied that there
will be a much smaller attendance this
year than usual, due to the fear of IN
fantile paralysis, and with the prospect
of railroad strike adding to their
troubles it is considered doubtful If
there would be much regret on the port
of fair officials throughout the state if
all fairs were called off.
While every association has been put
| to many hundred dollars of expense to
date it is probable that this as a total
loss would be less than the loss of hold
ing fairs under the present adverse con-
ditions would be.

CHICAGO, Aug. 81. Presidents
and operating officials of the railroads
of the country were in conference today
for the purpose of formulating plans
to operate trains in the event that the
strike of the four brotherhoods of
trainmen, set for next Monday morn
ing, takes place.
Virtually none of the railroad heads
shared in the optimism expressed in
some quarters at Washington that the
passage of the eight-hour bill by con-
gress would avert a strike on Labor
day.
Railroad officials planned to run at
least one passenger train a day on ev-
cry road and in each case it is an.
nounced preference will be given to
milk trains
The railroads, according to tentative
plans, will pool their resources. Strike
| breakers, it is understood, will be hired
not by individual roads, but by cen
| tral committee of all the roads and
distributed where they are most vitally
needed.
Independent of the transportation
strike the railroads are facing a new
labor problem in the threatened strik,
of $4,000 shopmen on 20 roads west OF
Chicago, who seek an eight hour day
and five cents an hour wage increase.
The embargo on livestock will caus,
a shortage of fresh meat in variou,
cities of the country within a few days

CONGRESS AT WORK ON PLAN TO
PREVENT THE RAILWAY STRIKE

the eight-hour law is passed by Satur-
| dav night the strike order will be re-
! scinded led the President to redouble
his efforts to have the measure rushed.
Besides that the President takes the
| position that it is the patriotic duty
of brotherhood leaders to rescind or
postpone the strike order in view of
J his recommendations to congress and
the effort being made to act on them.
Postmaster General Burleson conferred
with Presidnt Wilson this morning and
said afterward that he will insist that
mails be carried on every train moved
| if a strike comes.
Should the President S appeal to the
brotherhood heads to rescind the strike
order fail he is prepared to issue a pub
lie statement calling upon all the mem
hers of the brotherhoods to Join in or
dering its recall. He would say that
the railroad employees have no right to
imperil the industries of the nation,
under such conditions when the thing
they demand is about to be provided by
law.
Congress put all other affairs aside
today and devoted itself to enacting
President Wilson 5 legislative program
to avert the railroad strike, but the
President, overlooking no, possible
means to prevent the threatened public
calamity, did not depend on congress
alone and continued increasingly his
efforts to get the brotherhood heads to
postpone their strike order.
Just before noon the President went
to the capitol and comforting with the
leaders urged them on to the speed
necessary to get the bills through the
Legislative machinery of house and
senate before Saturday night, then re-
the four brotherhood heads before him
for another appeal to delay their
strike while congress by law provides
what the railroads have refused.
Although the brotherhood leaders re-
iterated that only Favorable settle
ment' could delay the strike and that
they We're powerless to postpone it one
of them admitted he believed the rank
and file of the men, in view of the effort
being made in congress, would vote to
delay it if there were time for them
= of
out of proposals to have congress pass
a resolution asking the men to delay,
and out of many other indications com
ing from the very inside of the situa-
tion there came again the indefnable
intimation that the strike could be pre-
vented if congress by Saturday night
program but has it on the way; that
President Wilson was holding another
card-a direct appeal to the rank and
file of the railroad men to realize that

the measure through while the senate
was working.

complaint made by the Musicians

PEOPLES COLUMN

The argument used by the band man
who doesn't sign his name is as old
as some OF the hills around Whining
ton.
The majority of the members OF
the Musicians Union are not only
workers, but are men who have given
years Of study 20 the musicians pro
fession. They know music and give
value received TO those who give
them employment. whether it Is fol
band. orchestra or private work. 10 Is
! a known fact that i'm Wilmington, the
iirst-class music is supplied by the
union men. not by the cheap-skate
non-union aggregations. When any
affair of magnitude Is held, all the
union bands are engaged first and il
is generally the rule that the last
band hired is the non-union one. Per
sons or organizations engaging music
want music. not merely men who
carry Instruments.
Il matters not who had charge of
the hiring Of Bethany Band. The fact
remains that IL was employed for
tabernacle and parade work. when
really competent union bands could
and should have received the patron
age.
If the non-union band man with his
poser would but write a letter to the
Musicians Union and sign his name,
the matter of member Of that
union endeavoring TO engage the
non-union Bethany Band would be
dealt with, It is safe to say. The
Musicians Union is guided by the
rule of majority not by the alleged
action of an individual member.
The nom-de-plume, non-union band
man in the last paragraph of his let.
ter goes into self-praise of the band
of which he says he is a member.
