Union Chiefs Serve Ultimatum
on Congress

Since preparing the foregoing portion
of this article for publication, W. G. Lee,
president Of the trainmen's brotherhood,
has served notice on Congress that the
strike will inevitably take place at 100
0 clock on Monday morning, unless the
proposed bill fixing an eight hour work
day for trainmen in Interstate Commerce,
at present wages, be'passed by midnight,
Saturday, September End.
Mr.. Lee concludes his ultimatum with
these words:
"The bill, as now drawn, constrains
exactly the same proposal the president
made to us week ago, and which we ac-
cepted. We are ready to arbitrate col
lateral issues now and we always have
been Let that be made clear to the public.
F'Whether there will be strike is now
squarely up to Congress. IF this bill is
talked to death, or prevented from passing
both houses before Saturday midnight by
oratory, or other methods Of delay, respon-
sibility for the strike order going into
effect will rest, not with us, but with Con-
gress. It has plenty of time left in which
to pass this bill"

Washington Conferences Fail

The series of conferences held in Wash
ington by President Wilson with the rail
road presidents on the one hand, and the
brotherhoods on the other, with the object
Of effecting a settlement, terminated early
in the week in failure.
The four brotherhoods Of railway oper-
atives, consisting Of engineers, firemen,
conductors. and trainmen, demanded an
eight hour day, with time and half for
overtime The railway presidents refused
to accede to these demands, but offered to
submit all the points in the controversy to
arbitration The brotherhoods, however,
absolutely refused to submit the question
to arbitration.
President Wilson proposed, as a com
promise, that the basic eight hour day be
adopted, for time, by the railway man
agements and that he appoint a commits
regarding cost Of operation conditions of
labor, and other matters. The brother
hoods accepted the plan, but the railway
management declined it, claiming that it
would annul the principle Of arbitration in
labor disputes.
The railway executives, however, made
a final counter proposal that, beginning
September l, 1916, the railroads would
keep the time Of men belonging to the
brotherhoods upon an eight hour basis,
maintaining a record of the difference be-
tween the money actually earned on the
present ten hour basis and what they
would earn on an eight hour basis, the
interstate commerce commission to super
wise the keeping Of the accounts A COM
mission was to be appointed by the presi-
dent, whose duty it would be to arrive at
some grounds for adjustment
This proposal, however, was fatty re
fused by the brotherhoods.

with which to prosecute the strike, and
are, therefore, prepared to hold out for a
long while.

ROUMANIA ENTERS WAR AGAINST
AUSTRIA
Opens Way for Thanking Movement by
Russia Greece Liable to Become
Involved in Struggle Bulgars
Repel Allied Attacks

The past week has been very eventful
one in connection with the European war.
On August 9th, Italy declared war
against Germany, the declaration being
delivered through the Swiss government
to Berlin, and acknowledged formally by
the German government
While Italy has been at war with Aus
tria for more than year past, hostilities
had not been declared against Germany,
although relations between the two govern
ments have been greatly strained for a
considerable time.
It is claimed that the declaration be-
came inevitable when Italy recently sent
troops to Saloniki to cooperate in the cam
paign of the entente allies on the Mace
DOMAIN front, as Germany is directing the
opposing forces, and has troops on this
battle line.

Peril to Nation Arises from Within
not from Without

TO many thoughtful observers, it seems
that the United States is facing one Of the
gravest situations in it's history. Time and
again within the past two years, war with
a foreign nation has been averted, but this
great menace to the national welfare. has
arisen. not from without but from within.
Until the past few days, the great ma
jority of business men have refused to be-
lieve that strike would actually come.
With factories running day and night and
every wheel turning, it seemed almost in
credible that body Of men, representing
very small part Of the total population
Of the United States, would deliberately
precipitate a condition that would paralyze
the business interests of the nation.

Roumania Becomes Fifteenth Nation
to Enter Struggle

Of far greater moment, however, than
Italy's declaration of war against Ger
many is the fact that Roumania, the fol
lowing day, threw in her lot with the
allies by declaring war against Austria.
Roumania's action came at the end of
two years of anxious waiting, during
which the Roumanian diplomats have
watched with intense interest the military
forces Of the allies.
Roumania, the fifteenth nation to enter
the maelstrom, brings an army of 100000
well-trained, thoroughly equipped men in
to the struggle.
The effect of participation by Roumania,
it is claimed by careful observers, will be
to open Roumanian routes to Russian
armies, thus making possible flank move
ment against the whole Austrian line in
the Carpathians.

Promises Kept.
In his review of our domestic policy
the temporary chairman pointed out
that the promise made by democracy
four years ago had been faithfully
kept.
To-day the prosperity which the
nation enjoys bears witness that
Democracy has kept the faith. Today
the gates of opportunity are opened;
the hosts of special privilege stand
disarmed. Today the forces of gov

labors, unhampered by the sinister
