REFUTESATTACK ON THE ADAMSON
 E|CHT-HOUR LAW
Head of Railroad Trainmen Says Republican Litera-
 ture Is Unfair.

New York, Oct. 21.-Republicans
 are giving wide circulation to an at-
 tack on the Adamson eight-hour law
 by William J. Pinkerton of the so-
 called Railway Workers Non-Parti-
 san Association w. G. Lee is issu- 1 ing a circular disposing of this at- | tack to the members of the Brother
 Hood of Railroad Trainmen of which he is President. Advance proofs of | this circular. were receivedA in New York to-day.
 | In enclosing the circular, MT. Lee wrote from Cleveland that Pinkerton 1 has had long and varied record as political handy man and paid cam
 paign worker. In this circular to the
 members of The Railroad Trainmen, he recalls the fact that the so-called Railway Workers Non-Partisan As
 sociation' in 1912-13 issued literature presumably paid for by the railways
 and others opposed to the Federal
 Workmens Compensation Law. "Our members" says Lee, should
 not be surprised in the least to, find this so-called organization again
 working in the interest of either the
 railway companies or dissatisfied poli- ticians looking for an excuse to cri- | ticise public officers"
 "Mr. Lee repeats his warning that the members should look with sus-
 picion upon the efforts of those work ing in the interest of Candidate Hughes to exactly the same extent that they look with suspicion upon members ready to act with and for the General Managers Association
 when strike of the organization is
 threatened for the purpose of secur- | ing better working conditions. ''It seems quite apparent that that | portion of the public said to be dis | satisfied with the Adamson Law ap- plies principally to politicians look | ing for an excuse to be dissatisfied Trainmen and enginemen are not complaining.
 Few instances have been called to 1 the attention. of either of the chief
 executives where trainmen or engine | men fear the application of the A1amson Law, and generally speak ing they are willing to trust the hand ling of such affairs to their authorized committeeman and grand officers Beware of literature sent out by
 direction of campaign committees as-
 suming to deal with affairs over
 which your organization, it's commit
 tees and officers are supposed to have Jurisdiction. according to your ex-
 pressed vote and wish.''
 "Employes will surely get the eight | hour day." says MT. Lee, "unless MT.
 Hughes and his political friends se- cure the assistance of the railroads | in carrying out his policy"

This photograph of Mrs. Wilson was snapped in the Pennsylvania terminal in New York city, where the presi- dential party made a brief stay before proceeding to Chicago. A large crowd gathered in New York to greet and cheer MT. Wilson and his wife. She seemed especially pleased with the re- ception accorded to them.

Hysteria Uncalled For.

Il am heart and soul for prepared
ness. for passions have been loosed
that will threaten for years to come.
Yet, admitting the great need for pre-
paredness. ] do not feel that our pres
ent lack of it calls for the hysteria that
imagines foe behind every tree.
Mayor Mitchell said the duty rested
upon statesmen to open the eyes of
those who did not see the need of pre-
paredness. Public opinion of this
country" he said, will impinse upon
Congress until it cannot withstand the
force of opinion and if must take the
action necessary to protect national
life and integrity"

WHAT OF VICTORY OVER MEXICO BY AMERICAN TROOPS? Suggestion Made for Pur- chase of Strip Of the Bor-
 der Territory FINANCIERS LOOK
 TO FUTURE STATES When United States Wins Victory With Whom Can a Binding
 Treaty of Peace Be
 Concluded?
By HOLLAND

New York, June 30.-(Special)-No one of good authority in the financial district seems to doubt the ability and willing ness of the people to submit to taxation necessary to meet the interest upon as much as billion dollars, if so much be necessary, in order to meet the expenses occasioned by a war with Mexico, Ii there be one. Furthermore. financial lead CTS are confident that whatever amount may be deemed expedient by the admin istration at Washington to obtain it will be easily and immediately secured whether by direct appeal to the people for subscriptions or through the cooperation of the bankers.
 There would be, however, not a little qualification in the financial district here and probably in like districts of other large financial centers if one element of doubt could be removed. No one doubts the direct and immediate outcome of the clash of arms in Mexico Ultimately American troops would command the cap- ital and the important cities for having
