New York, Aug. 10.-President Will

hand in the settlement of the differ
ences between the four railroad broth
erhoods and their employers unless
an apparent deadlock in the negotia-
tion, which developed today, can be
broken, it was indicated here tonight

of the workers and later those OF the
railroad managers, the United tSates
board of mediation and Cancellation

tiyes of either side. Martin A. Knapp
one OF the federal mediators, wnen
asked whether there had been any
change in the situation since the
board began it's work replied:
"There is a deadlock on the face
of it. Whittier we can change it lies
in the bosom of the future
Mr.. Knapp sal dthe beard had not

to the point where an appeal would
be made to the president" Mr.. Knapp
said he could not discuss the mat .er.
He added that the board would con
tinua it's efforts to adjust the differ
ences.
1--WE are going to consider tonight
what the next step will be- he as

CONGRESS AND THE
IMMIGRANTS.

There is sure to be some sort of
legislation during the life of the pre-.
sent congress for further restriction
of immigration. The fear of deluge
Of Europeans after the war, whose
average of physique at least will be
lower than usual, will impel congress
to raise the bars and provide for a
more careful sitting.
1t Is uncertain, of course, what the
migratory effect of the war will be.
But on one opinion prevails that those
who do come, whether many or few,
will be chiefly the human debris left
by the great convulsion rather than
the choice blood that we used to draw
from Europe. And II Europe sends
us its unfit and disabled, we shall
send them back. A nation in such
matters takes little account of chart
ty. We are willing to help the war
victims on their native soil, but we
don't want them dumped onto our
shores to crowd our hospitals, asylums
and prisons.
The Burnett bill, which the presi-
dent vetoed in the last session, would
have provided more adequate protec-
ton against undesirables than exists
at present. 1t would have frightened
the legal restrictions and introduced
administrative reforms Of Importance.
1t was vetoed solely because It carried
the literacy requirement. 1t is said
that the same measures, made little
more stringent perhaps. but emitting
the prohibition against illiterates,
may succeed in the present session

cause they can't read and write. OF
all civil disabilities, illiteracy is the
most superficial and the most easily
cured. The main desiderata are what
they always were-sound bodies
sound minds. sound morals and q
iteachable spirit. And after the war
we should welcome immigrants o.
such characteristics as frankly as we
ever did. In fact we should welcome
them more than we have done IL
recent years, because there will
fewer Of them left on the other side
and their home governments will b.

THE PROFIT
OF DISSOLUTION.

Dissolution sees to have done the
Standard Oil Company world OF
good. When this corporation was
broken up by order of the United
States supreme court in 1911. It's
stock was worth $675.O00,O0O. Today,
according to the Wall Street Journal.
the same stock, ''unscrambled" for
statistical purposes by the Journals
expert accountants, has a market
value OF $2.025. 100000. And this esti-
mate is regarded as extremely moder-
ate. The stock is thought to be actu-
ally worth about $4,000 a share instead
of the s1,700 allowed.
In any event, the stock has trebled
in value since the great Standard OIL
Company of New Jersey was SKATER
ed into "a separate corporations, to
( the CONSERVATION Of the world of big
! business. And John D. Rockefeller
IS worth about $25O,OO0, 900 more since
the courts undid his life work.
Almost any big business would re
joice In an attack" of that sort.
AS a matter of fact, financiers have
got over being scared out of theiI
skins by applications of the Sherman
law. The tobacco trust was dissolved
too, and has prospered since almost
as notably. 1t isn't on record that
any of the various corporations broker
into their constituent parts have sui
fered therefrom.
There are two explanations giver
for this fact. One is that the disso
lutions haven't really dissolved, tha
the trusts are still as monopolistic as
ever, and are making their added pro
fits by gourging the public more sue
cessfully under the cloak of a hypo
critical competition. The other 1!
that the corporate, divorces are genu
inc, and that the Divorces actual!
make more money than they did whel
united Great corporations, it is al
gued, are really unwieldy and ineffi
cient, and the loss of bulk and tn,
need of competition have given ney

that formerly comprised the big trusts

HYPHENIsM.

WIT FNGSG III ETIENio".
1t appears that there is a hyphenated
organization of Japanese living under
the American flag. 1t calls itself the
Japanese-American Citizens Associa-
ton of Hawaii. 1t has a membership
of more than $500 men of Japanese
parentage who were born in Hawaii.
This association takes an active in
terest in public affairs, promoting
municipal improvements in Honolulu,
in boosting Hawaii in true western
style, and particularly teaching young
Hawaiian Japs the duties OF American
citizenship.
The leader of the association, the
Rev. S. Sokabe, recently addressed its
young men as follows:
"Hawaiian.born Japanese have a
great mission today. The Japanese
of Hawaii must become the pacifica-
tors should trouble come between Jap
and and America. Should a crisis
come you would be the interpreters
between Japan and America, and you
you should be the pacificators. You
owe 1t to yourselves to do this. Lear
to be good American citizens and then
you will be able to help in case Of
trouble. You can do more to keel
peace than the ambassadors and min
listers. You will be the keystone of al
international questions.
You who are, born in Hawai- are
not the sons of the Emperor. Il
trouble should come with Japan YOU
must remember that you are the sonI
of the President, not of the Emperor
Aim to work for the best examples o
citizenship and then aim to work fol

Americans are not given over-mucf
to admiring the Japanese. And It'll
particularly hard just now to get VI
enthusiasm over any kind of hyphen
ated citizenship. At the same time, i
