DREDGING OF HARBOR
 TO START SOON
Development of Main Channel at New London Will Begin Immediately.

The development of the main chan nel of New London harbor. under the appropriation of $170,000 recently en- acted by congress. is to begin 1mme- dlately. The arrival of one of the big government sea going dredges is ex- pected daily and it's method of opera tion will be an interesting feature of the numerous marine activities in this section at the present time.
 This type of dredge is not station ary. like the ordinary commercial va riety, and does not require tugs or scows to assist. Instead it propels it. self along the entire distance to be deepened, scooping up the bottom as it proceeds and depositing the excavated material within it's spacious interior. the immense craft moves out to a suitable spot in the open sea and drops its contents into Davy Jones' locker.
 Then 1t returns to resume the pro- cess, which is vastly more economical and expeditions than the old time method. The channel will be dredged from a point off Ocean Beach for a length of two miles in the direction of the state steamship terminal. When the work is completed the minimum depth of the entrance to this port will be 33 feet.
 Ever since the inception of the state terminal project there has been a taeit understanding with the federal gov ernment that it would contribute it's share to the furtherance of the devel- opment of New London harbor. For mer Congressman Bryan F. Mahan in- troduced a bill in congress four years ago, asking for a total appropriation of $330.O0O, $17o.000 of which was to be expended immediately. The bill was recommended in committee but later on when the pruning knife was used on all river and harbor appro- priations, it was temporarily side tracked.
 This year Congressman Freeman re- newed the campaign and was success

NORTHWEST ROADS
WILL NOT YIELD

st. Paul, Aug. 21-"If every other
railroad in the country should accept
the eight-hour principle we would
stand out alone against it," Louis W..
Hill, president Of the Great Northern
road, said.
"But we will not have to stand
alone" Mr.. Hill continued. Our posi-
ton is the position of every other rail
road in the Northwest. AS matter
of fact it is the position of every big
railroad in the country. The railroads
are going to stand solidly against the
eight-hour day.
1--WE never have been in the hands
of a receiver yet and we are not 60
ing into a receivers hands now, you
may be sure of that" the Great North
ern president added with emphasis.
Mr. Hill was asked If the adoption
of the eight-hour principle would mean
receiverships for the big railroads.
"That Is just what 1t would mean.
1t could mean nothing else. We are
In no position to adopt the eight-hour
day It would cripple our train serv-
ice so we could not operate"

Wilson Appeals to Chiefs to
Accept His Plan.
WILL DRAFT FINAL REPLY
Rail Magnates Appoint Committee 70
Write an Answer to the Pres
ident's Request.

Washington, Aug. 22.-As one Amer
lean citizen to another President viii
son appealed to each of the executives
| Of the countrys railroads on grounds
of principles to accept his plans fol
averting the threatened disaster of 9
nationwide strike.
He emphasized the necessity fol
keeping the railroads in service as g
part Of the national defense and tc
make possible preparation for meeting
conditions that will exist after the Eu
ropean war.
On leaving the White House the rail
road presidents, augmented by arriv
ais from the West, held conference
at which sentiment was said to be
against agreeing to the presidents
proposal in it's present form.
Hope was expressed, however, that
some satisfactory counter proposal
might be advanced and it was decided
to turn over to a committee the task
of drafting a final reply to the presi
dent.
With more than sixty men, most OF
them with their own ideas about what
ought to be done, the executives found
it difficult to "get down to brass
tacks," as one Of them expressed 1t.
The railroad heads still insist that
President Wilson is asking them to
sacrifice the principle of arbitration.
Elisha Lee, chairman Of the national
conference committee of railways, is.
sued statement I'm which he said:
Statement by Chairman.
"That the railroads should grant
under threat of a national strike, a
$50 100000 wage preferment to small
minority OF their employees without a
hearing before a public tribunal, Is In
conceivable in a democracy like ours.
"All questions at issue-wages,
hours, costs, operating conditions
arc submerged by the greater issue:
Shall arbitration be abandoned In the
settlement Of industrial disputes?"
The statement suggests, however,
that the railroads stand ready to take
whatever action the people and the
country desire. 1t concludes:
1.-THE weight Of public opinion must
determine this issue. We cannot be-
lieve that it is the calm judgment of
the country that we should sacrifice
the principles of arbitration in indus
trial disputes under threat to tie up
the commerce of the country"
While the officials were listening to
President Wilson and. later comforting
at their hotel, the general committee
of GAO representatives Of the employees,
who already have accepted the presi-
dents plan, held perfunctory meet
ing and marked time awaiting the de-
cision of the employers. They said
they would wait until President Will
son dismissed them, but stood ready
to call a strike should the negotia-
tions fail
