Railway Company Notified.

The executive committee of the
strikers. with the unanimous approval
of the organiza tion, addressed a COM
munication May Il to President Liv-
ingstone and Mr.. Emmert, notifying
them unless certain proposals were
agreed to or at least taken up in
satisfactory way. the men would go
out at o'clock On the sume day that
the railroad officials were given the
new proposals the matter was taken
up with Rein Orr. organizer of ran,
way employees. Between l and
o'clock on the same day the executive
committee went to the Ouray building.
The committee was informed that
somewhere upstairs in the building
Mr.. Gompers. Mr.. Hamilton. Repre-
sentative Carln. Mr.. Livingstone. Mr.
Emmert and Mr.. Orr. were having
conference. The committee waited on
the lower floor of the building from
2:20 until 3:15 without the slightest
word of recognition. At 3:lo the coHi-
mittee sent word upstairs that IL
would have to return and make re-
port to the organza tion in Georgetown
at O'Clock, and received in reply
message from Mr.. Orr. saying wait
there until | send for YOU. NO MEMBER
of the committee was admitted TO the

back to Georgetown and reported to
the union.
The men had just been ordered out
when Attorney Hamilton and Mr.. Orr
arrived. claiming to have obtained an
agreement from President Livingstone
that any schedule of wages agreed
upon should begin May l. When exam
ined this alleged agreement was
mere suggestion and not signed by any
one. The matter of the schedule agreed
upon. dating back to May l. had been
agreed upon April S. and to bring. 1t
up again in the form of suggestion
was itself breach of the agreement
and offense to the intelligence of
the union. Attorney Hamilton and Or
ganizer Orr left with a promise to
have the agreement put in writing and
signed, but when they returned about
o'clock that afternoon the alleged
agreement which had been signed
turned out to be no more than writ
ten suggestion and was evidence of a
further breach of faith on the part of
the railroad people. To have ended
the strike and put the men back to
work upon such a proposition would
have lost to the strikers the respect of
the community well their own
self-respect and independence

One Objection Answered.

Some men oppose all representation
for the District in either branch of
Congress- because 1t is sa id that when
the District had local self government
it was not properly administered. We
grant that this may be so, but who
will rise up and say that since the
people Of the District have been de-
MED representation the burdens of gov
ernment have been equally distributed
it's blessings properly bestowed, its af-
fairs properly administered. its poor
sufficiently cared for. or that its slums
have been wiped out?
ITO what greater or better extent has
municipal government prospered here
than In other cities which are self
governedo The ma ajority of the commit
tee recognize that the status of the
people of the District is different from
that of any other portion of the coun-
try because it is tho site of the ma
tional government. and it is and always
will be the principal institution In the
District AS a consequence, any legfs-
lation on the subject should have a ma
tional rather than a local aspect and II
1t were choice between a purely local
government controlling the District
ana all lis INSTITUTIONS tneTein, or one
purely national, the committee would
prefer the latter. but 1t is not dena-
tionalizing the District to allow its
citizens to participate with the rest of
the people of the nation in the govern
ment of the District itself To that ex-
tent it helps to nationalize the signif-
canoe of the District 1t helps to popu-
larize government. 1t will wipe out

BAKER NOT AFTER
VICE PRESIDENCY
Secretary of War Reported in
Accord With Remaining
Old Ticket.
CALLS ACTION IN TEXAS
VERY KINDLY EXPRESSION
Democratic Leaders Not So Confident
Now of Winning the Next House
of Representatives.

Secretary Baker has no Vice Presi-
dental aspirations and will be in ac-
cord with the President and other ad-
ministration officials that Vice Presi-
dent Marshall shall again go on the
ticket with Woodrow Wilson.
Asked today how he felt since the
Texas democrats We're preparing to
back him for the Vice Presidential
nomination. he answered: 1T is very
gracious expression of kindly feeling
on the part of my friends. but hasn't
any further significance"
The understanding among the Presi-
dents close friends is that the Presi-
dent wishes the denomination of Thorn
as Marshall and does not wish to see
any struggle over second place.
AS to Mr.. Baker, the President is so
gratifed over the choice he made of
the OhIoan for the war portfolio that
he hopes to retain Mr. Baker in that
position in the event the voters of the
country continue the democratic ad-
after March next.
No Changes in Cabinet.
In fact, it is generally understood
that there will be no changes in the
ca binet if Mr.. Wilson remains in the
White House as result of the Novem-
Der election unless individual cabinet
officers want to retire for personal or
other reasons. Following time hon
ored precedents. the President would
find in his possession formal letters of
resignation from each cabinet officer,
thus leaving him free to do as he
best. AS at present Consti-
cd hnwever the hi0et aDreeahf q
to the President. and there will be no
change unless the republicans elect
their candidate for White House hon
ors.
White House and elsewhere remain
optimistic. They do not express such
confidence in the election of
a democratic House in November, but
they do declare Wilson unbeatable. All
they admit in the way of a possible
miscarriage of their views is that the
present time is. the most unusual that
ever confronted the voters of the coun-
try in presidential year. Every min
ute is likly to furnish developments
that may affect the political fortunes
of any man and change the minds of
the people entirely.
Present Conditions Unusual.
Never before have conditions been
IKE those no" existing ana liable TO
exist for some months to come. The
unexpected may sweep away the popu-
larity Of statesmen or bring to the front
unknown men and issues.
While admitting all this, democrats
believe that the President will persist
in doing his part so we'll that he will
not get far away from the good opinion
Of ma iority of the voters.

weeks the democrats are not taking as
much for granted they did some time

thought in different parts of the coun-

The voters for the first time are par

republican ticket and Allen l.. Benson

President by a referendum of the So

name placed on the ballot of that

that many of the other candidates for
President will receive a large scatter

writing the candidates names on the
ballot
