members from serving at the Hughes
luncheon.
Had Mr.. Hughes taken advantage OF
the opportunity afforded him to make a
statement of his opinion on the open
shop question. which was agitating or.
ganized labor at this time, and had he
declared himself for the closed shop, we
would not be forced to take this drastic
action"
In labor circles here tonight there is
pointed criticism of Mr.. Hughes for din
ing at a "scab" luncheon with represcn-
tatives OF big business" at the very
hour when President Wilson was labor
ing in Washington to bring about an
agreement between organized labor and
the railroads of the country.
1t looks as though there had been
stupidity on the part of the managers
of the entertainment here. 1t was known
last night, even by Hughes himself, who
had the letter which Ernst referred to,
that strike was possible The luncheon
might easily have been cancelled. The
grave Importance of the matter lies in
the fact that from Washington State to
Lower California there is war between
capital and labor over the open shop,
and every industry on the Coast is in
terested in the outcome.

points to an impending Progressive war

on the candidate which may easily react
on the situation IN every State in the
Union and especially in the doubtful
States.
Rowcil laid the situation as outlined
last night in these dispatches before
Hughes before the latter made his audi
Itortum speech. He did not spare any
works. and he frankly told Hughes that
while kind word for the Progressive
might do him some slight injury. to per
nit the Old Guard to continue its man
handling OF the Progressive would do him
|incalCulable harm throughout the coun-
try.
Hughes, with a full knowledge of both
sides of the controversy thereupon hand
led the situation in this fashion in his ad-
dress
''I come here as spokesman of the Ma
tional Republican party. With loca
differences have no concern. The great
national aim that we have in view trans
forms all local differences. and we are
together. reunited, inspired by the loftl-
est traditions of our historic party. and
devoted to the accomplishments of those
great achievements upon which must rest
our enduring prosperity as a nation"

New York, Aug. 1s.-Pope Benedict
has sent special benediction to the
Catholic convention, which Cardinal
Farley will be read at the Pontifcal
High Mass in st. P&rick's Cathedral
which formally opens its proceedings
tomorrow.
The procession enthusiastically will
be the most spectacular ever seen in
America, including cardinals, arch
bishops and monsignori in their brill
liant robes. 1t will start at l:45

In addition to the Gordon of the
Loyal Legion. ample police. under
Chief Inspector Schmittberger, will
guard the blocks surrounding the ca

similar precautions will be taken to
guard against the activities of any
religious cranks who might try to
take advantage of the assemblage of
so many distinguished Catholic prel-
ates.
Cardinal Gibbons and the Apostolic
rived this evening. Cardinal Gibbons
came from Southampton and Arch
bishop Bonzano from Washington.
At the Archiepiscopal residence,
Cardinal Gibbons made this statement
about the gathering:
"One thing Is certain-I know that the
great city Of New York will extend to
the mighty hosts within its gates hos
pitality worthy OF this great Metropolis
As for the purpose OF the weeks proceed

Every policy we advocate will be
constructive and not destructive. 1t is
all for good. 1t is for the well-being
OF the church and the country and
for the material and spiritual uplirt
OF our people"
Archbishop Bonzano was asked about
the printed report that the Pope has in
structed the Italian cardinals to pray for
the success OF Italy and her allies.
Il don't believe it," he replied. Though
I have had no communication from Rome
on the subject. I have no hesitancy in
stating that the story is absolutely false

disaster to the nation

solemn. and President Holden. Of the

realized the seriousness OF the situation.
President Wilson said:
We must face the naked truth In this
crisis. We must not discuss impract1-

WOODROW WILSON. -
W. G. Lee, president of the Trainsmen's
brotherhood, issued the following state
nent late yesterday afternoon:
The employees accepted-as law abid-
ing citizens should-the request of Presi-
dent Wilson to meet him and present our
views. President Wilson. after a very
careful investigation, suggested certain
terms of settlement that in his opinion.
should be accepted by both sides to the
controversy.
The employees surrendered a very large
portion OF their demands, and signifieo
their willingness to accept the Presi-
dents suggestion. The railway compa-
Ties. after appealing to the government,
seem about as unwilling to accept sug-
sestions from the President Of the United
States as they have in the past refused
10 consider requests from their employees
We are in Washington as the invited
guests OF the President. and shall take
no further action until released by him. -
The railway executives issued the
following statement setting forth
what occurred at the conference with

Ihis marks the first slogan accepted
SO tar by any woman's Republican or
SANITATION for the forthcoming national
campaign. And this one was unani-
inously adopted last night at meeting
OF the National Women's Hughes-Fair'
pahKs League, at the home of Mrs. Ellls
Logan, president of the organization. l2os

The slogan was suggested by Mrs. Lo-
gan and copies of it have been sent to
every State in the Union where women
nave organized to aid the Hughes and
Fairbanks combination.
among other things, reports were read
last night from representative women
VINO are working for Hughes in the
western States. The reports indicated
tnat women of Ohio. Iowa, Illinois and
wyoming, especially, are strongly In
taVor of the Republicans in the Presi'
Dental campaign.
Arrangements were also made to have
each woman do some special work In hel

70 organize the women of the suffrage
states for Hughes. Most of the women
nave already decided to return to their
nome States during election time to cas-,
their votes. Some of them are going or
special speaking campaigns through their
states. to make addresses in favor of the
Republican platform and party.
But all of the women in Washington
have promised to do their utmost to keep
IN touch with the representative women
or their Safes on everything that is GO
ing on. The campaign as planned from
washington headquarters will be one OF
the greatest publicity and corresponding
campaigns ever conducted by a local or
sanization. Every woman has pledged
herself to be Johnny on the spot in
anything that will aid the cause.

Presidents Plan for
Averting Rail Strike

f.resident wiison yesterday
is.ued the following statement,
al have recommended the
that is, the substitution
of an eisht-hour day for
the present ten-hour day
in all the existing practices
and agreements. I made this
Recommendation because 1 be-
Iieved the concession right. The
eight-hour day now undoubted-
Iy has the sanction Of the
Judgment of society In its favor
and should be adopted ms
basis for wages even where the
actual work to be done cannot
ne completed wIthin cight
hours.
-ConcernIng the adjustments
which should be made In jus
tice to the railroads and their
stockholders In the payments
and privileges to which their
men are now entitled df such
adjustments nre necessary)
there Is wide divergence of
opinion. The railroads which
have already adopted the eight
hour day do not seem to be at
any serious disadvantnge In
respect of their cost of opera
tion as compared with the rail-
roads that have retained the
ten-hour day, and calculations
ns to the cost of the change
must, IL made now. be made
without any regard to any pos
nd fs.t tsfr ivA .
or readJustments.
"Only experience can make
Ii certain what arrangements
would he fair ana equitable
either on behalf of the men or
on behalf of the railroads. That
experience would be n definite
guide TO the Interstate Com
mercc Commission, for example,
IN determining whether, ms n
consequence OF the change, IL
would be necessary and right
to authorize an Increase of
rates for the handling and car
riage of freight Hor passenger
service is not affected). -. ..
-, therefore, proposed that
the demand for extra pny for
overtime made by the men and
the contingent proposals OF
the railroad authorities be
postponed until facts shall have
taken the place of calculation
and forecast with regard to the
effects of a change to the eight
hour day; that, In the mean
time, while experience was de-
reioping the facts, should
seek md, II need be, obtain
authority from the Congress TO
appoint a small body of Impair
tia1 men to observe and thor
oughly acquaint themselves
with the results with view
to reporting to Congress at the
earliest possible time the facts
disclosed by their Inquiries. but
without recommendation of any
kind, and that IL should then
be entirely open to either or
both parties to the present
controversy to give notice OF
termination OF the present
agreements with view to In
stitutinE inquiry into suggested
readjustments of pay or prac-
tIce.
"This seems TO me thor
ouGhiy practical and entirely
fair program, and I think that
the public has tho right to e1-
pect it's acceptance"

SCHOOLS TO open
| DESPITE SCOURGE
District Health Officer See
No Reason for Change
in Schedule.

DR.. w. C. Woodward, chief health Of
ficer Of the District, said last night that
he saw. no reason why the scheduled
opening of the schools on September IS,
should be delayed by the infantIIe paraI-
ysis epidemic.
i am ready and willing to do anything
that the school authorities deem neces-
sary to prevent the spread of this
scourse." he said" but have been fol-
lowing the developments closely and I
see no reason why this infantile dis
ease should cause alarm here"
Other cities have delayed the opening
OF schools because OF the fact that many
children have been visiting in the affect
ed area in New York, and were liable to
spread contagion.
The disease, however. is not epidemic
or even abnormal in Washington and
the local health officials have traced
every case that has been reported to
Its source. Unless an unexpected out
break occurs before September, there will
be no order issued to delay the openings
of schools
Many inquiries have been made to E.
L. Thurston. superintendent of schools,
regarding the possible postponement OF
the opening. Some Of the parents urge
that the opening be delayed because Of
the possibility of the disease being
spread by children returning from va
cations
Superintendent Thurston is going away
