~ ,oHas Primary Over
~ Ex-Governor COlquitt

Dallas, Tex, August 26.-Virtually
complete returns from practically all
Texas counties in the democratic sena-
storial "run-off'' primary today gave
Senator Charles A. Culberson 146,507
votes and former Gov. o. B. Colquitt
sS,457. Less than 10000 votes remain
to be accounted for.
Senator Culberson was known as the
Wilson candidate, having supported In
his campaign the record of the present
national administration, while Mr.. Col
Quit took exception to President Will
sons administration of Mexican af-
fairs.
notable fact from the returns re-
ceived is that the former governor car

there is large German American

ly granted the eastern roads and criti-
in the case, and who might be ex-
pected to oppose any proposal that
would direct the commission to grant
another increase.
The executives appear confident that
public opinion, a quality in the equa-
ton that they have not overlook ed,
will be with them in their insistence
upon the principle of arbitration ana
their opposition to an eight-hour day.
The executives reply will be divided
into argument and statement of their
position The statement Will show that
they do not accept the eight-hour day
with pay for 10 hours, as demanded
by the men; that they maintain this
demand really is one for an increase
of wages; and that a question of a
wage increase is a matter for arbitra-
ton and for settlement in no other
way. 1t will suggest the creation of
commission to arbitrate this wage
question of delegation of power to
the interstate commerce commission to
arbitrate 1t would make the arbitra-
ton retroactive, and the roads would
pledge themselves to create a fund to
care for back wages if increases are
approved by the arbitrators.
THREE POINTS CITED
Three things are cited by the exec.
utives to back up this position. The
first is that many of the big shippers
of the country have declared them
selves opposed to an abandonment OF
arbitration and have insisted that an
eight-hour day must not be granted.
The second is conviction that to give
in to the men under present conditions
would undermine discipline on the

Tax Exemption

Washington. August ga proposal to
lower the present income tax exemp-
ton, written into . the administration
revenue bill by the Senate finance COM
mittee, and then stricken out when House
leaders indicated they would not accept
1t, was voted down 81 to 10 by the Sen
ate tonight, when Senator Underwood
offered it as an amendment.
Discussion of the amendment was
marked by a bitter exchange between
democratic senators in charge of the bill
and Senator Underwood. author Of the
present tariff law and who. as demo-
cratic leader of the House. had a promi-
nent part for several years In framing
revenue legislation. Chairman Simmons
of the finance committee reminded the
Alabama senator that it was long
standing Senate practice for senators to
stand by the decisions of their party
caucus and Senator Stone. also mem

Underwood deserved severe censure for
his attitude toward the bill.

UNION LEADERS LEAVE
The brotherhood leaders, after be-
ing in meeting most of the day, adj
journed to 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. Many of them left town tonight.
The refusal of the railway execu-
tives to accept the Presidents plan
including concession of the eight-hour
day, and proposing counter plan
such as previously has been outlined,
will put the next move up to the
brotherhood leaders. 1t probably will
be communicated to them officially
Monday after President Wilson has
heard it from the executives.
Meanwhile some development of pos
sible congressional action is expected
the next steps between the employers
and employees.
The executives held several meet
ings during the day but no change re-
suited in the position they took last
night when they approved a rough
draft of their reply to President Will
son. 1t was $50 tonight when the
committee of eight which has handled
the negotiations announced that they
had asked for a conference with Presi-
dent. Wilson and awaited his pleas
ure. After two hours wait the ex-
ecutives announced that President
Wilson had informed them he would
prefer not to see them tonight.
SUMMARY OF SITUATION
The situation as summed up late
tonight by those in close touch with it
was this:
President Wilson has seen the pub
lished reports of the reply the exec
utives vii. make him Monday and does
not wish to accept 1t. 1t would not
surprise those in the confidence of the
railroad officials to have Aim make a
counter proposal at that time, retain
ing his original proposition for nm
eight-hour day, but offering the roads
ms Compensation congressional assur-
ances of a freight rate increase and n
commission to settle future disputes.
Among the executives tonight it
clearly was evident that such counter
proposal probably would not be ac-
copied. Whether they would receive
it from President Wilson and take it
under consideration for a few days
was not at all certain. but it's ultimate
rejection was forecast generally.
The position of the men is not clear.

published but they might be willing
to negotiate with it as basis. They
will meet again at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.

gress toward the suggested legislation.

SITUATION AS VIEWED
BY BROTHERHOOD HEADS

Washington, August 26.-As the
brotherhood men saw the situation
tonight, only two steps could pre-
vent a walk-out. Those are for
the railroads to withdraw their
fnsistence upon arbitration for
all of the demands of the men,
or for the government to take over
the railroads for operation for the
duration of the strike. Little con-
fidence was expressed that the rail-
road heads would recede, but the
men professed to see great hopes
OF government operation of the
lines, particularly after the Presi-
dents visit to Congress. Just what
these hopes We're based upon was
not apparent.
If a strike should come, it was
learned tonight, it propapiy viii
not become operative for about a
week. The brotherhood men, while
they have the right to declare a
strike from here, probably would
: not do SO until the representa-
tives leaving today and tomorrow
had talked the situation over with
their local committees. Some of
them could not reach home in less
than five days.

in all probability the committee would

BILL TO BE PUSHED
Democratic Plan to Hurry Things Is

Washington, May 24-The second

Representative Mann, minority lead

trick on the eve of the Republican ma
