In Northern Cities Recruiting ads
Replaced by L. w. w. Placards

Virginia, Mimi, Aug. 15.-Because
advertisements for recruits for the
United States navy have been repeat
eddy torn down. and in many instances,
recruiting officers say, replaced with
Industrial Workers of the World liter
ature. instructions were issued by
Lieutenant Wilson. in charge of re-
cruiting in the northwest. to place in
doors the whitehead torpedo which
had been left in the street here to in
tereSt recruits.
Navy advertisements also have been
destroyed In Minneapolis and other
places, according to recruiting officers.
Little interest is shown in recruiting
here, although hundreds of men are
out of work. This is attributed by
r. z. Bonney, in charge of the local
recruiting station, to the activities of
the I. w. w. who are conducting a
strike on the Iron range.

STRIKE WILL Be QUIET
just Wait Until Demands Are Granted,
Says Garretson.

washington, Aug. 15.-"If a strike
eyentuates, in what condition are the
strike funds of the various labor or
ganizations?" was asked Mr.. Garrett
son last night.
1--WE are not worrying about that"
he replied with a cheerful smile. 1--WE
are we'll enough equipped to take care
of the men.
There will, not be any diversion Of
labor if the trainmen go on strike,
because there will be few jobs Nearly
all industries are dependent on trans
portation in some shape or other, and
when the trainmen strike these will
be crippled.
THE likelihood is that the men will
just wait until the railroads concede
their demands.
"Of course this will be a peaceful
strike. Every strike our organizations
have conducted has been a peaceful
strike. There would be no rioting of
any kind. That is not what wins a
strike-it is what loses it.
Take the strike in Cleveland's adj
ministration, it was more of riot
than a strike and it lost. That is not
the manner in which the big four
brotherhoods will conduct a strike"

FIND PLAGUE REMEDY
Adults Blood Found Immune to Dis
ease, Used as Preventive.

New York, Aug. 15.-Family ply
sicians were advised today by DR..
Abraham Zingher, of Willard-Parker
hospital to try the use of normal
blood serum obtained from parents as
a method of rendering their children
immune to infantile paralysis. Many
cases of this disease have been treated
in Willard-Parker hospital during the
present epidemic.
The theory on which DR.. Ztngher
and his assistants are working is that
the blood of the normal adult contains
the anti-bodies which neutralize the
virus of infantile paralysis. Some ply
sicians believe the presence of these
anti-bodies is due to the fact that the
parents have had the disease in an I'M
recognized form. 1t is stated If the
theory of anti-bodies is correct the
blood serum treatment may prove as
effective in preventing infantile par
alysis as vaccination is in preventing
tyDhOid.

Gus handclapping punctuated the tell
ing points of his address. On the sub
jects of the tariff, upholding the ma
tional honor, maintaining a firm stand
toward Mexico, a business administra-
ton, efficiency and economy, the
audience was quick to catch the point
ard applause was unstinted.
One of the points which called for
the greatest applause was his state
mont: 1.-The only chance this admin
istration has to carry this election is
because the present war in Europe has
saved it a demonstration of its tnef-
fiency."
stration was his statement that the
Democrats are claiming prosperity
which is due to that war.

cratic party and the European war

At intervals while he spoke the
plaintive wall of an infant was heard
in the upper gallery, but the mother
and child remained to the end.
Makes No Stuff Pledge.
While attesting his personal belief
in the federal amendment as a means
of securing immediate suffrage for
women, Hughes pointed out that the
Republican platform does not declare
for that method and at no time dur
ing his address did he pledge himself
to work. if elected president, for the
amendment.
Hughes spoke in the same hal!
where Roosevelt addressed great
gathering of women progressives In
the campaign of 1912. On that occa-
sion the audience was so great thai
another theater had to be secured tC
care for the overflow. Todays meet
ing, however, was for Republican
women only.
Following the meeting Mr.. and Mrs
Hughes were rendered a reception il
the Davenport hotel.
In the evening he spoke at big
open air meeting in the Stadium.

representatives now in New York
awaiting the verdict of their commit

his conferences today. the first meet
ing being with the road managers.
All of the delegation looked some
what weary as a result of their con-
ference, which last until early this
morning and curing which they were
supposed to be endeavoring to~agree
on some proposition of settlement to
submit today.
Hopeful for Success Today.
1t was hoped the day would bring
forth some grounds upon which a set
Element of the pending controversy
might be effected, and the threatened
tie-up of transportation on the great
lines of the country avoided.
Throughout most of the night the
managers labored over definite sug-
gestion for settlement to be offered to-
day. The employees did the same.
The president yesterdays after hearing
both sides. urged this method of pro
cedure, asking each party to reduce its
contentious to the ''irreducible mini
num- in order to bring the issue more
quickly to a focus.
Beyond this, yesterdays conference
developed nothing definite beyond a
now more willing to Cooperate to
bring peace than they were before
talking with the president.
What Kind of Arbitration?
When the president resumed the
hearings today, the original question
what shall be arbitrated and what
form shall the arbitration take was
the foremost problem under consider
alton.
Headed by their spokesman, Elisha
Lee, the committee of railroad man
ayers filed into the White House at
O'Clock. Lee carried with him a
small portfolio. He refused to state
whether he had the proposition on
which the roads were willing to arbi-
trate their differences with the en-
ployes.

time" he said.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-If the rail-
road trainmen refuse arbitration and

clare the roaC will be able to handle
