 STRIKE ON RAILROADS

The joint session called this morning by the President when he had been informed had decided to strike next Monday
 President Wilson urged legislation mot in haste merely the of meeting the present emergency but for para necessity of additions to the law suggested by crcum- stances had hoped to this but is imperative well just This must be done if such emergencies to be prevented in the future"
 The President recommended immediate provision for the enlargement and administrative organization of the United Interstate Commerce Commission enabling the commission to deal duties developing it with "prOmptness hOOughness which with it's present constitution such action is practically impossible
 The President urged the establishment of an eight hour day as legal basis alike for work and wages in the em poyment of all railroad employees engaged in the operation interstate ranspOratOn the time Tor the institution of this law being determined by Congress-
 He asked for the authorization to appoint commission study the results of the application of the eight hour day to railroad operating, alike to and the roads and the n vesgatOr to make report Congress at the earliest possl be date without recommendation to legislative acOn
 Wilson asked the approval of Congress for con sderaon by the Interstate Commerce Commission o the freight which would be necessary to meet the ad dOna expenditures by the railroads as rendered necessary by he adoption of the eight hour day.
 An amendment the federal law also asked which provides mediation cOnciatOn and arbitration 0f such controversies presented themselves by adding an investigation shall be instituted before strike or lockout is contemplated.

SIX ROBBERS ROB
 2 BANKS; ESCAPE
 WITH MUCH BOOTY
Posses and Officials Are in Pur- suit of the Fleeing Men Who Are Escaping in Their Auto mobile.

DANvILLE, nlonois, Aug. 29. - Six robbers blew safes in the two banks at Homer early this morning and escaped .n automobiles. Posses and both county and federal authori- ties are after the bandits. As far as learned the six robbers secured $13,OOO mostly in currency and gold. Little if any silver was taken. lt is believed that three men worked the banks separately and the explosions occurred at the same time as only one report was heard. The banks were situation across the street from each other.

Canadian Lobby Is Now Busy at Washington Trying to Prevent
 Any Measures.
RETALIATION IS IMPLIED
Representative Rainey Is Also Starting An 0p- position to the HaIi-
 but Law.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29- Lobby by Canadians will prevent the pas sage of the Pacific halibut legisla- ton contained in the pending reyc- nue bill This was apparent today in the face Of existing work being done.
 This forenoon Secretary of State Lansing had an extended conference with Joseph Pope, under secretary of External Affairs of Canada and w. A. Pound, Superintendent or Can adian Fisheries. The argument pre- sented Co Secretary Lansing was that che condition of the subsidies Or. ders in Council, and other legislation in Canada. operate Go give the east ern markets Of the United States better fish now since the trado moves through Prince Rupert.
 The proposed legislation Of the United States, stated the Canadian officials, will presumably invite a retaliatory legislation by Canada.
 Secretary Lansing was somewhat impressed by the argument.
 Representative Henry A. Rainey of Illinois, one of the conferees on the Revenue bill. has started oppo- sition of his own to the halibut leg islation. He bases his opposition on long telegraphic protest from the Chicago fish dealers who claim that they get better and firmer fish through Prince Rupert than they formerly secured when the fish was dispatched through Seattle. Repre- sentative Rainey claims that the Chicago dealers of fish. both large and small companies, claim that Al aska fish is two to three days ahead of Seattle shipments when the fish is sent via Prince Rupert.
 It is the consensus of opinion that a fight will develop when the reve- nue bill comes up for final legisla- ton as many western Congressman want to give the Pacific Northwest the benefit of the Alaska trade.
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-08-29

the law would be suffered to stand in the way of their increasing their revenues to meet them.
 "The railway managers based their decision to reject my counsel in this matter upon their conviction that they must at any cost to them selves or to the country stand firm for the principle of arbitration the men had rejected.
 T based my counsel upon the indisputable fact that there was no means of obtaining arbitration and the law supplied none. Earnest efforts at mediation failed to infu- ence the men in the least and the railroads want to stand firm for the principle of arbitration and yet not get arbitration, seemed to me distress to the country and conse- quences in some respects worse than those of war and that in the midst of peace"
The Alaska daily empire., 1916-08-29
RAILROAD SIDE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29--The railroad presidents issued a statement to the public. In part it is as follows:
 We are unable after the earnest consideration to agree with the proposal of the President of the United States which that accept arbitration and substitution of the eight hour day for the present ten day all existing practices and agreements this the main point in the rOversy surrender it without opportunity to be heard in some form of fair arbitration.
 "We do not the statement that eight hour day now undoubtedly has the sanction and judgment of society in it's favor
 "We believe that society has not yet recorded it's judgment upon this subject
