Roads Won't Try to Run
Trains if Men Strike

Should railroad workers throughout
the United States strike to force their
demands for an eight-hour day no ef-
fort will be made to operate trains
pending a settlement of the problem.
Train. will remain idle in their sheds
and the public will be compelled to
walk or remain at home.
This fact came out Of the carefully
guarded conferences of railroad repre-
sentatives in the Grand Central Ter
minal Yesterday. Officially, it has been
decided that each road will take care
of its own operating work during a
possible strike. Because of certain To-
cal problems TO be faced by each road,
it is expected that numerous short
runs may be made, but no general
traffic handled.
This decision was reached in the face
of the certainty that the 100000 train
men who make the membership Of the
big Four" brotherhoods had author
lied their officials to call strike If
they deemed it necessary. The count
ing of ballots still was in progress at
the Broadway Central Hotel last night
and will not be completed until some
time to-day. The $4,000 already tabu-
lated, however, are said to show an
overwhelming majority IN favor OF
striking in the event Of final refusal
of the roads to grant the shorter work
day.
Still Hope of Settlement.
There still remains the hope that a
settlement may be reached at the con-
ferences between trainmen and railroad
representatives to be resumed here
next Tuesday. Just what may be ex-
pected at the renewal of the negotls-
lions that were broken off June IA, even
the railroad officials do not know.
1t was said yesterday that the rail
rond representatives. at the daily ses'
sions now being held. are still arguing
whether to face certain tie-up and con-
tinue their refusal to grant the eight
hour day when they meet the brother

compromise.
Representatives Of the various unions
of railroad men throughout the coun-
try began 10 arrive in the city during
the day, preparatory TO participating IN
the conferences to begin next week
Chief among these were Austin b. Car
retson, president Of the Order OF hail
way Conductors: W. s. Carter, presi-
dent of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive
Firemen and Engineers. and ". G. Lee.
president of the Brotherhood OF Rail-
way Trainmen.
The trainmen expressed themselves
as extremely optimistic, but refused 70
discuss the situation pending the
scheduled conferences. They admitted
that they would have several con,
ferences with Warren s. Stone, grand
chief Of the Order of Engineers. who
has been at the Broadway Central
headquarters throughout the counting
Of the strike vota
Mr.. Stone believes that he has won a
tactical point in the contest with the
railroad managers by decision not TO
report the vots 20 the road officials d.
railroads, but by districts only The
roads, il is explained, have been anx-
ious TO learn Just how the vote went OF
each Of the 225 roads involved. This
method of reporting will prevent them
from obtaining this information.
Some hint Of the plans Of the train
mems organizations may become public
tomorrow evening at mass meeting
to be held at the Amsterdam Opera
House. Officials Of the four brother
hoods are expected to make speeches ut
this meeting and tell why the eight
hour day should be granted and-pos
sibly-how the men expect 70 compel
the roads to give il TO them.

tary of the Stokhod.
Yesterday morning at dawn strong
Russian detachments left their
trenches and fought their way-hter-
civ by inches, so stubborn was the
German resistance the river ana
entered the village. Desperate en-
counters took place here, amid the
ruins of houses and through deorls,,
Uttered streets. The village changed
hands nearly a score OF times IN the
course of the blazing hot day, but
the Russians again proved themselves
masters in house-to-house and hand-
to-hand fighting and at nightfall the
whole territory remained IN their
hands and the enemy was compeiIed
TO retire behind the river.
Germans Driven Back.
All through the night the Germans
gave the Russians no rest, hurling at
tack after attack on the village posi-
lions from three sides. Until o'clock
in the morning Brusilof's troops
clung doggedly 20 their posts and swept
the Teutons back with terrific losses.
Tben. however. weakened by their own
losses and exhausted by the furious
and unrelenting assaults OF the enemy.

The press agent, who is not IN bad
with Bayonne, had quoted DR.. W; W:

what DR.. Riha knew about the situa-
/ ton. The doctor knew all about IT,
and said so. He said he never SAID
what the press agent said he said.
Bayonne Is Indignant.
1--WE want nothing sensational in
Bayonne," said the doctor. This is
nife town and our babies are as re-
fined as any other towns babies. They
don't drink any more beer than babies
in Manhattan, and probably not as
much. What happened at that meeting
was that one of the nurses reported
that in one family, all the children
had beer for lunch, and | pointed out
that part of the report as one OF the
things she had found. That isn't
unusual, because in the foreign settle
ments of every town, once in while,
n baby will get a sip from its papa
bucket Of beer. 1t isn't fair to Bay
onne to say its babies drink beer. It
ought to be contradicted. Meetings
ought not TO be reported in that SEN
sational manner Here is the sensible
way TO report a meeting like the one
we had"

the reporter left DR.. Riba's house and
tried to find the reporter for THE
Review" so he could learn what the
board was full of. 1t wasn't done. how
ever, because the reporter had called
it day and gone out in his fivver.
However. the reporter learned enough
to be able to assure an anxious world
there aren't any more bOozing babies
in Bayonne than there are tipping

Every one in Bayonne, y. j., was in
the throes of great indignation yester-
day. The whole town was deeply
grieved and shocked because, the other
night, a press agent went to a meeting
Of the Child Welfare Association, to
which ne hadn't been invited, and then
sent out story that Bayonne's babies
we're running their young lives drink
ing beer From the fat cop, who takes
his siesta against telephone pole
near the City Hall, on up-or down, as
the case may be-the ranks OF the
citizenry il was the consensus that
the story was fabrication and n SIAN
der upon the fair name of Bayonne.
II was further agreed the press agent
was a villain of the deepest dye and
would look we'll pounding rock.
Arrived at the corner OF Avenue {
and Twentytsixth Street. after long
travel through the soap region, re-
porter concluded it was iifty-fifty

There didn't seem to be any signs OF
life around Police Headquarters, so
the reporter leaned against lamp

along who knew something about beer
and babies. Several boys soon showed
up. None Of them drank beer, they
said, although they offered to II the
reporter would buy can OF 1t and

Wilson to Ask Immediate
Ratification of Treaty

Washington, Aug. 81 ne Aoihlhis
tration will ask for the Senates ra,i-
fcation Of the treaty by which the
United States buys the Danish west
Indies before the end of the present
session, il was learned today me
there may be some objection 70 tne
price no really serious opposition IS
expected. A..
mo Secretarv Polk announced that no
details of the treaty would be MADE
public at present. 1t is understood
That the State Department desires TO
withhold details until the Senate and
.be Danish Parliament have had an
opportunity 10 consider 1t. IT..
Senator Lodge, ranking Republican
member of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, made the following
statement regarding the purchase OF
the islands,
~ am thoroughly in favor Of the
purchase of the Danish islands and
always have been. The arguments IN
favor Of the possession Of these islands
can be briefly stated. and appear TO be
rnanswerable. So long as they are
in the market there is always the dan
ger that some European power may
purchase or try TO purchase them
This would be an infraction OF the
Monroe Doctrine, and would at once in
volve the United States in very seri-
Gus difficulty with the European power
which sought possession Of the islands:
an the interest Of peace, IT is OF
great importance that these ISLANDS
should pass into the hands OF the
United States and cease TO be pos
sible source Of foreign complications
which might easily lead to war. From
a military point Of view the value OIL
these islands TO the United States can
hardly be overestimated. The hne mar
Dor Of St. Thomas fulfls all the re-
ouired naval and military conditions.
AS has been pointed out by the late
Admiral Mahan, 1t is one OF the great
.a.aoi. nnints in the West Indies"
