General Cadorna's victory has

the railroad companies may be in
duced to take a broad minded and
humanitarian view Of your demands.
When the railway companies under

result form its adoption, they can not
refuse to Concede the workers the
boon of the eight-hour day-and con-
cede without imposing upon the
workers the necessity of cessation Of
work in order TO establish your de-
mand.
Regardless of whether your pur-
pose is secured by the voluntary agree

whether it is necessary for the rail-
way men to strike to obtain this Just
and necessary protection, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor pledges to
the brotherh Gods its support and SYM

mated for the presidency-what he
would do if elected president of the

Mr.. Hughes charged the present ad-

and YacillatiOn. He declared that il
had not kept the country out Of war,
but that it had fought an ignominious
war in Mexico and had withdrawn
from that war ANONYMOUSLY. He
charged the administration with hav-
ing brought the country much nearer
to participation in the European war
than the country would have been
had the administration stood for

possible to expect tariff protection to
American industries from "A Demo-

the Democratic platform had said in

constitutional.
They say in effect now that the

continued, but do you think they are

senate naval committee after confer
ences with President Wilson and Sec
retary Daniels. Majority Leader
Kitchen, in serving notice today that
he would call up the bill in the house
next Tuesday, announced that Chair
man Padgett Of the house naval COM
mlttee, one of those who held out in
| conference against the senate in
creases, would move that the senate
amendments be agreed to. Earlier in
the day Mr.. Padgett and Senator
Swanson, ranking Democrats Of the
senate committee, had talked over
the subject with President Wilson,
who is understood to have reiterated
his belief that authorization of the
larger program was imperative.
Senator Swanson said tonight lead
ers had made careful canvass of
the situation and were confident that
the senate's personnel increases and
continuing building program would
be accepted by the house along with
the building increases for 1917. A
call was sent broadcast to absent
representatives to be on hand for the
vote Tuesday.
Separate Roll Calls.
In making his announcement to the
house, the majority leader said sep
arate roll calls would be taken on
the senate amendment increasing the
capital ships for next year from four
to eight on the proposal for a gen.

providing for increased numbers Of

on the Appropriation of S1,0S5, 900 for

That Chairman Padgett would
make a motion to concur in these
amendmentes came as a surprise to
opponents of big naval program.
They would not concede defeat.
With final action on the naval bill
imminent, the senate today approved
without debate the conference report
of the 1851, 100000 army appropria-
