WILSON CALLS BROTHERHOOD
HEADS AGAIN-NO PROGRESS
TOWARD SETTLEMENT +

TOWARD Sc T LEMENI
Washington, Aug. 25.-With Pres.
Wilson and rail heads apparently
hopelessly at loggerheads, president
today stirred up excitement by sud-
denly calling heads of railroad
brotherhoods to White House.
This conference, workers repre-
sentativeS said, left situation I'M
changed. They were asked to accept
no compromise, they said, and gave
impression as they left White House
that president might be expected to
stand firmly by proposal which they
have accepted, but which rail presi-
dents refuse.
While at White House, brotherhood
men placed before president charge
that nationwide lobby is being con-
Quoted to influence public sentiment
in favor ofTailroads. They presented
kilograms to show that Northern Pa
cific Ry. has asked station agents to
get farmers and business men to send
at roads expense kilograms to Pres.
Wilson insisting that controversy be
settled by arbitration.
Brotherhoods deny they have been
asked by president to consider pos
sible legislation by present congress.
Washington, Aug. 25.-The several
million dollars worth of railway pres
idents who have been working here
for several days to prevent the
threatened nationwide railroad
strike resumed their struggle today
with more desperation than hope
shown in attitude of many of them.
THE situation is less promising
than at any time since negotiations
started" said one of most important
railway heads. ..-...
Encouragement today grows out
of this problem: How to grant an
Cight-hOUr day and make the public
-literally-pay the freight.
Railroad heads want assurance of

possible case thorough investi-
cation shows after Neight-hour day
has been put in effect that railroads
are in need of relief.
They insist that guarantees Of pro-
lection against disaster for roads
must be made part of settlement at
this time. The future is too uncer-
tain, they say. Wilson'S promises, as
one executive expressed it, might not
be worth much to railroads if some
other candidate were elected in No
Yember.
If president were reelected, ex-
ecutiVes say, shippers and farmers
would make powerful fight against
any legislation tending to fOist upon
them the ultimate burden of expense.
They have promised this in a few
thousand kilograms to railroad ex-
ecUtiVes.
This is new turn in affairs reached
by executives. The president, they
say, has notified them he can do
nothing in a legislative way now,
either toward securing a commission
for the settlement-of future labor dis
putes or in matter of beneficial legis-
lation to act as adequate compensa-
ton" for concessions by roads.
None of executives, however, has
giYen.Up hope that some way out will
be found. But few say solution can
come through eight-hour day pro-
pOsal as offered by president.

the difference between the journey to Liverpool and the journey to Lon don only amounts to about four hours.
 "A further objection to removing the place of censorship from London Is one which will easily be understood, namely, that, where an immense or ganization Is in existence, employing between 800 and 1000 men and wo- men. as is the case with that depart ment of the Postal Censorship which deals with these particular, mails, a splitting up of the staff between Lon- don and the ports of call in different parts of the United Kingdom must seriously affect the efficiency and smoothness of working of the whole organization, not to speak of the diff faculties inherent in providing accom- modations for a sufficiently large staff in such remote places as Kirkwall. Moreover, it is to the interest of neu- trals that the moment the examina- tion of mails is concluded they shall be handed over at once to the Post Office authorities for re-transmissio on immediately by the quickest route available. and this cooperation of the postal authorities is easiest and quick est in London"

No Examination at Kirkwau

'1t has been suggested that con- siderable delay would be avoided if mails landed at Kirkwa1l were exam ined at and dispatched from that port instead of being brought to London for examination. It must, however
 be remembered that American mails are. after examination. forwarded from Liverpool to the United States or from Newcastle or Hull to Scan dinavian countries or from T1lbury or Harwich to Holland. It would thus only in very rare cases expedite the dispatch of mails to detain them at Kirkwall pending the arrival there of the next ship making for the same port as that for which the ship from which they were removed was destin- ed, even supposing the next ship were able to take them on board The mails must be brought at some stage as far south as the port from which they will eventually bs dispatched and

We trust the Democrats of Bax.
ter Springs, and in fact the Dem
ocrats of Cherokee county, will
see to it that Bob Frazier receives
the nomination for sheriff. Bob
Frazier is a man in all that the
name implies. He is a good man;
a big-hearted man; one whose
friendship is an asset, and a man
who would make a good Official.
If he secures the nomination he
will be elected, for he will receive
q bigger vote from the opposition
than any of his opponents for tie
opposition can hope to receive.
He has Republican friends by the
; hundreds who will vote for him
in November. Bob Frazier is
not a Baxter man, a Galeua man,
nor q Columbus man, although
he did live in the last town q
few years. For the past ten
years, or about that. he has lived
out 90 his farm in Neosho town

entire time to farming and stock
raising, and be has made a sue

if. Don't forget big jolly Bob
