Railroad Mems Fight

alton of Labor, in a discussion of the
railway strike situation during an adj
dress to-day defended the attitude of
the brotherhoods, and, while he praised
President Wilson for his efforts 10 set

denounced any attempt at legislation
to compel arbitration.
"The demand Of the railroad brother
hoods Is clear-cUt issue" said he.
They now make the simple demand
that their lives and their physical well
being shall be protected and that they
shall be required to work only such n
reasonable period Of time as industrial
experience has shown TO be expedient.
The eight-hour principle has been uni
versaliy accepted by society.

Strike Issue Delayed,
Not Settled, Says Willard

Baltimore. Sept. 4.-Daniel Willard,
president of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, said to-day that he felt 1t
was fortunate that the country was not
struggling with a strike on all It's rail-
roads. But he said the dispute was
settled only temporarily.
"Of course, should not have pre-
ferred a strike and the comparative
strength of the railroads and the men
settled in that manner" said Mr.. VIII
lard. 81 would think myself unht to
live if thought any such thing. As to
the constitutionality of the law which
Congress has passed | can say nothing
at present. :.
But. in any event. it settles the dis
pute only temporarily. IL may recur.
And it is. to my mind, extremely sig
nihcant that a body of men consti-
tuting less than one-half of per cent
of the population should be able to go
to Congress and tell Congress what
they want and make Congress give II to
them, waiting until it was given.
81 do not say that Congress should
not have settled the matter as 1t did, or
that it did not make the best settle
ment II could.
"But the fact that this body of men
was able to go to Congress and make
demands and get what il wanted is the
fault of Congress Of this particu-
lar Congress, perhaps, but OF the legis-
lative body of the country. This dis
putc is not new. II has been before the
public for years. Congress has always
refused to take any action TO provide
means of settlement, although appealed
TO again and again. Perhaps they will
do something now. If they do not we
may expect a renewal.
"The Canadian industrial disputes
investigation act is the best thing that
| know anything of. No, it does not
make strikes impossible, but 1t does
make il impossible 70 call them until
after n full investigation by the gov
eminent Of the matters in dispute and
calm consideration of them which
probably would prevent strikes"

CASINO BURNED
AT new LONDON
Most of Patrons Absent
When Fire Causes
Loss of $4,000.

New London, Conn, Sept. 4.-Pequot
Casino, the clubhouse at the mouth OF
the harbor, was destroyed by fire soon
after noon to-day. There was barely
time for the few patrons who were
there at the time to get out and for
employees TO send few Of their be-
loneings tumbling after them out OF
the windows.
Several trunks containing most Of
the wardrobe of Mrs. Junius 5. Nor
gan. ir., a niece by marriage of j. Z.
Morgan. were rescued. more or less
battered. by the window route. AL
though some of her apparel was saved
in the same manner, the Baroness Won
Hasburg lost several valuable pieces
of iewelry, among them diamond
studded matchsafe.
The fire started in the upper part
Of the building in some unexplained
manner Although all Of the thirty
rooms were occupied. most of the pa
irons were ava" at the time. within
a few minutes after the alarm was
given. smoke and flames were pouring
from numerous windows.
Prominently located, just north of
the New London Lighthouse, the blaZ-
ing structure brought help from all
sides. The volunteer fire department
Of the city found itself J andicapped by
low water pressure. Yachts IN the mar
Dor saw that more help was needed
and sent their crews TO the scene.
Among those whose seamen helped hght
the fire was Commodore Morton +.
Plant. whose steam yacht Venadis was
anchored not far away. julius ,.
Fleishmann lent his speed boat Whlrl-.
wind TO carry employees Of the Hotel
Griswold across the Thames.
In spite of the utmost efforts only
the she'll of the structure remained.
The loss is estimated at $4,000. 1t Is
the fourth time within twenty-five
wears that the Carino has been burned.
Since the destruction Of the Pequot
House by fire nine years ago, the
Casino had been a favorlte resort OF
society here, and was the scene OF many
brilliant functions.
A meeting Of the officers Of the club
will be held on Wednesday evening TO
decide whether or not to rebuild the
Casino.

Internationalism Not Dead, Its

national anxiety, he continued, and in
the emergency thousands of trades
unionists had given their lives willing

essential for the purpose of national
defence.
Referring to the fact that the unions
were urging establishment of minis.

quirements.
