WILSON TO ASK
E|GHT-HOUR Law
PRESIDENT DECIDES TO AD-
DRESS CONGRESS AS PEACE
HOPE FADES.
STRIKE SET FOR SEPT.4
EMPLOYEES ON 225 RAILROADS
TO WALK OUT At 200 A. N.
ON LABOR DAY.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Aug. 29.-Unless the
railroads or the unions promise con-
cessions President Wilson will go be-
fore Congress and propose legislation
designed to avert the impending gen
eral strike, scheduled to go into eff
feet next Monday.
Mr.. Wilson said last night that ne
saw little hope of effecting a settle
ment by negotiation. and he had de
cided to ask the aid of Congress. He
was engaged last night in writing the
address he intends to deliver to the
joint session of the Senate and House
setting forth his fruitles3 efforts to
settle the controversy, and proposing
legislation not only to avert the i'm
pending strike IL possible, but to min
imize such menace to the public we.-
fare in the future.
The President also contemplates
issuing an address to the American
people containing an appeal to the
railroads and the unions to prevent an
interruption of transportation which
would cause untold suffering through
out the country.
According to instructions issued by
the unions the operation of ell
trains on 225 railroads will be sus-
pended next Monday at a. m, Wash
ington time.
The President called the brother
hood heads to the White House and
appealed to them to suspend the in
structions or at least to postpone the
date of the walkout. The brotherhood
presidents refused to accede to the re-
quest
President Wilson also presented to
the union leaders a proposal made to
him by the railroad executives. This
was suggestion of arbitration Of all
the issues in a slightly different form
from that embodied in the formal an
swer of the executives rejecting the
Presidents compromise plan. The
brotherhood presidents said they
could not accept the proposition in
asmuch as the 600 district chairmen
authorized to pass on such questions
had gone home.
The President thereupon telephoned
the executives that the unions had
refused to make any concessions.
The President. who drove to the
capitol to confer with the Democratic
leaders, proposed the following legis-
lation:
Establishment of the eighthour day
for all employees of interstate rail-
roads.
Addition of two members to the In
terstate Commerce Commission and
division Of the body into groups with
the object Of expediting its work, par
ticularly the determination of rate
advances.
Creation of permanent commits
sion to which it would be obligatory
for the carriers and their employees
to submit all disputes
Provision enjoining strikes and
lockouts pending the decision OF the
commission and for sixty days there
after
The advisability of empowering the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
consider wages as one of the elements
in the fixing of railroad rates also
was discussed.
Members of Congress, it is stated,
say that legislation cannot now be
passed in time to avert tie-up.

BEST BUTTER GOES
EAST; EATEN THERE
Declaration Made BY One Who
Claimed to Know About
Matter
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Minneapolis, November 20.-An in
surgent appeared in the ranks of the
National Creamery Buttermakers
association at the Arcadia rink to-
day and told what he called the
''sour truth about the butter indus
try.
He is Alfred Mccain of New York
connected with a firm buying fol
that city's trade 10000 pounds OF
butter a week.
While not on the program, Mr.
Mccain took pains that everyone
should know what he thought.
81 am thoroughly tired" he said
" of hearing buttermakers talk sc
much about pasteurization, hygiene
and purity in public when l know
how little they make of it in prac-
tise Creamery men know that only
by pasteuriZing milk can the tuber-
culosis danger be removed, but their
appeals for more stringent laws are
only feints made for effect.
"The twin cities eat some of the
poorest butter in the United States.
| say this because it brings the case
home and Minnesota wins the most
national butter prizes. Most of your
good butter is sold in the east.
"a trip through some of the big
butter centralizers of this city would
be a revelation.
81 visited centralizer here and
reproached the manager for the mat
erials he used. The reply was:
when men in universities, such
as Wisconsin, talk pasteurization in
class and then make butter from I'M
pasteuriZed milk in the laboratory,
you cannot expect too much from the
youth who learn from them," he
said.
Several buttermakers at the con-
vention were ready to combat the
theories of Mr.. Mccain.

RIFLE WAS STOLEN
From Mondays Daily.
Weapon Taken From Barn on the
| II. w. Schneider Premises.

TVOIrl mOuudy DdiS.
Weapon Taken From Barn on the
H. w. Schneider Premises.
Either Saturday night or early
Sunday morning, somebody broke in
to the barn at the rear of the resi-
dence of H. w. Schneider, 412 North
Second street, and stole a twenty
two calibre rifle. The iron fixture OF
the door, attached to the paddock,
was pried loose by means of chisel
and some bricks, the broken pieces
of which were found. The police did
not manage to find out where the
chisel belonged, but the rifle was
found to have been kept by boy OF
eleven years living in the neighbor-
hood, Ernest Zimmerman. The rifle
had been kept in garage near the
Zimmerman residence.
Officer Mic Thilgen was working on
the case yesterday. He found out
that the Zimmerman boy had told
other boys that he had bought the
rifle. But afterwards the Thinner
man boy said he found the
rifle. Officer Thilgen asked the boy
why he said at first that he bought
the rifle, and he said that was just a
joke.
Neither the police nor Mr. Schneid-
er believe the Zimmerman boys
story, but as Mr.. Schneider has the
rifle back, he is content to put the
whole thing up to the boys parents.
The rifle belongs to Mr.. Schneider's
son, Armin.

PROBE "AIR-BUBBLE" DEATH
Case that is Attracting Attention at
OIney, Illinois.
UNITED Press Dispatch.1
From Mondays Daily.

UNITED Press Dispatch.I
From Mondays Daily.
Olney, ILL.,, November 2O.-The now
famous "air bubble" death of Miss
Elizabeth Radcliffe, seventeen and
pretty, for which Roy Hinter1iter IS
in Jail here on charge of murder,
will receive the attention of the
grand jury which convened here TO-
day.
At the trial the state will seek to
prove that Hinterliter, young far
mer, in attempting to prevent Miss
Radcliffe from becoming a mother,
pumped air into her veins with a
catheter and that bubble of air
reached her heart and killed her. An
air bubble in her heart was the
cause of her death according to a
commission of physicians which eX
amined the body.
Hinterliter, the body of the girl
across his knees, drove madly up to
a sanitarium at midnight July 81 and
begged attendants to revive her. He
said she had fallen unconscious in
his arms as they were driving along
dark road. She was dead.
Search revealed parts of two cath
eters beneath a towering oak, in the
stream bed and slightly off the main
travelled road. Foot prints showed
signs that a struggle had taken place.
The authorities insist they can
prove Roy and Elizabeth were be-
meath the tree the evening of July 81
and will attempt to prove that the
young farmer induced the girl to let
him use the catheter.
The strangeness of the girls
death has aroused much comment
among noted physicians, some of
whom have taken issue with the
finding of the commission, holding
that the air bubble could not have
caused the death. The state refuses
to go into the details of it's case but
promises startling disclosures. Hin
terliter, arrested July %, is held in
Jail without bail. He insists he is
innocent
