Willard Gives Warning
in Appeal to His Men

Baltimore, Sept. daniel Willard,
president of the Baltimore & Ohio,
issued his first formal appeal TO the
brotherhoods of his system to-day, and
said that because of past pleasant rela-
tions he hoped it would not be neces-
sary to write "disloyal" after any en-
ploye's name.
II contained a hint that IL a strike
came those who went out would never
be accorded the same treatment in the
future. A large number of the men
have informed the railroad of their In
tention to face ostracism and stick.
Mr. willard explains what the eight
hour schedule will mean:
"As you all know" he said, ut is
quite impossible to so arrange trains
that they can always complete their
schedules inside of eight hours, even
on the short divisions. This IS also
well understood by the men who have
voted TO strike; and their demands, II
granted, would in effect mean nothing
more or less than giving them a large
increase in wages.
"To grant their demands would cost
the Baltimore e. Ohio company alone
about S4.000,000 per annum, sum
more than double the average yearly
surplus or margin of safety the. com
pany has earned, after payment of divi-
dends. during the last five years"
Mr.. willard points out that the COM
pany is willing 10 submit 20 aroitra-
ton, though it feels the demand uh-

More than the ordinary number OF
civilians are applying for commissions

be unmarried, between tho ages OF
twenty-one and twenty-seven, and able

CHURCH NAY REVISE
FIVE COMMANDMENTS
Protestant Episcopal Commits
sion Approves Plan.

The coming General Convention Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church will
be obliged to pass on q proposal TO
revise and shorten the first FIVE Of the
Ten Commandments. A commission OF
bishops, clergy and laymen of the
Church has been considering the pro-
ject for some time and has turned in
a report indorsing it
The commission recommends the
change on the ground that arguments
for the observance of divine law are
not essential to the laws themselves.
The commandments in their revised
form are:
First-Thou shalt have no other
gods but me. Second-Thou shalt
not make unto myself any craven
image, nor the likeness of anything
that is in the heaven above, the earth
beneath or in the water under the
earth; thou shalt not bow down to
them, nor worship them. Third-Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord
thy God in vain. Fourth-Remember
that thou keep holy the Sabbath Day.
Fifth-Honor thy father and thy
mother.

/. A.. Gregg, vice-president of the
Order of Railway Conductors, said he
had not been informed OF any disloy-
atty among the men. Mr.. Gregg was
in secret conference all afternoon with
Timothy Shea.
Railway heads held two meetings.
The executive committee of the Cen
eral Managers Association met alone,
and later held joint meeting with the
presidents and other high officials. The
formal statement issued by the man
ayers tonight states that "there is a
widespread and growing disaffection"
among the train employees who have
been ordered by their leaders TO strike
next Monday. The statement made ref
erence to legislation at Washington as
follows:
"The managers could not decide what
their attitude would be until they knew
what the provisions Of the law would
be, and they could not know this until
the law was actually passed by beth
houses"
The statement asserts that "the en-
gineers of one of the largest lines en-,
tering Chicago met to-day and voted
to withdraw from the movement. The
identity of this line is for the present
kept confidential. The engineers have
conferred with the members of the
other brotherhoods on this road and
have found the conductors are disposed
to take similar action"

Speaker Clark Upheld.

Republican Leader Mann appealed
from the decision of Speaker Clark. the
resulting vote, 204 TO 81. in favor OF
sustaining the Speaker being virtually
a vote against the Idea Of compulsory
arbitration.
Mr.. Mann made an earnest plea Tor
the Sterling amendment, pointing out
that the legislation being put through
would settle only the strike already
called. leaving the door open for fut-
ure labor disputes to threaten the same
danger. Mr.. Mann said he had been in
clined 10 favor the whole proposition
offered by the President, as it provld-
ed against such a danger as now con-
fronts the country ever arising again.
Contending that this was merely an
emergency measure, Judge Adamson re-
torted that "in the words of dying
saint, we shall meet again

words Of one higher than dying saint.

The shadow Of the brotherhood
menace hung heavily over the delib-

of the unions was manifested in many
ways. In the House il was marked
especially when an attempt was made
by some of the Republicans to put
the Democrats in n hole. Amendments
were offered providing first for com
pulsory arbitration. and then TO in
