Af6ation of Quartette of Powerful Brotherhoods With
 American Federation of Labor Is Sought by National Leaders Effort Mobilize Railroad Employes of Entire Country with Object of Winning Contest for SHour Day.

ment with their allies. the railroad men of the American Federation of Labor.
 When the government attorneys. F. Carroll Todd. Assistant to the attor- ney general. Assistant Attorney Gen eral Underwood. and Frank Hageman appear in he federal court at Kansas City next Thursday to oppose the Un- ion Pacific and Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe suits against the Adamson law. they will be fianked by represen- tatives of the brotherhoods. It is pos sible that the four brotherhood heads themselves will be there Messrs Todd and Underwood left for Kansas City tonight.
 Significance IS attached to the fact that the brotherhood heads will ad- dress the American Federation of La hor convention in Baltimore tomorrow Never before in the history of the two organizations have any of their members met in joint session. but their meeting at Baltimore will be the result of carefully worked out agreement that the two forces shall join hands in working for the general hetterment of the organized railway employees.
 After receiving the brotherhood heads and Chairman Adamson. Presi- dent Wilson virtually finished his message to congress in which he will recommend completion of the railway legislative program outlined by him at the last session.
 These recommendations contain provision for enlargement of the in- terstate commerce commission and for compulsory arbitration of propos- ed strikes The latter is bitterly op- posed by the brotherhood leaders.
 Railway executives figured only in conspicuously in today's activities here. Their representatives appeared before the senate interstate commerce committee and learned that their snokesmen would be heard first in their problem generally on Thursday next. Brotherhood representatives may appear before the committee late but so far have not indicated formally their intention to do so.
 President Wilson told members of a committee of the Evansville. Ind. Chamber of Commerce. who called during the day to tell him of the pro posed conference on the railroad sit uation in their city early in Decem- ber. that he hoped there would be similar discussions of the problem in other sections of the United States and that he wished all business men would investigate the question in an open-minded way.
 After their fifteen minute confer ence with the President. the brother hood leaders would only admit that they had congratulated Mir. Wilson on

NEW YORK. Nov. 20.- Investiga- ton by the district attorneys office of the higher cost of coal and food stuffs was under way today. Twenty coal dealers. large and small. have been summoned to explain what was characterized by District Attorney Swann as terrible" situation.
 "The way coal prices have been raised here is suspicious to say the least" said MT. Swann.
 One member of a firm that sells 3.000,00O tons annually in this city attributed the coal shortage in Octo- Der to conditions at the mines. result ing from scarcity of labor. The dealer asserted that in October he had to go into the open market to buy coal. paying as high as SIP ton. Con- ditions now have returned to normal, he said. and the wholesale price at the mines is only a few cents ton higher than last year.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 20.-Affiliation of the four railway brotherhoods with the American Federation of Labor as separate body was regarded as more than a possibility tonight by infiuen- tial federation leaders. It was re- ported on reliable authority that rep resentatives of the railways in the federation had been in confidence with officers of the brotherhoods look ing to an utilization of all railway men with the federation. Two separate organizations Of railway employees with membership in the federation that would give them the support of the organized labor forces of the coun- try in any effort to advance the inter ests of organized railway workers, was the plan. according to informa- tion obtained tonight.
 It has been forecast that the presi- dents of the four brotherhoods will place their cause before the federa- ton convention at tomorrow's morn HIS oCooAph. It 1OAhNAA eiAAF10g pointed out to the convention that the brotherhoods were assured of SUD- port and cooperation of the American Federation of Labor in their struggle for the eight hour day"
 There can be no temporary amalga- nation of organizations affiliated with the federation and unaffiliated bodies, however. a federation official declared He pointed out that the constitution of the American Fedora tion of Labor did not permit such amalgamation.
 The only reference to the possibili- ty of aciliation of the brotherhoOds with the federation came from Presi- dent Gompers late today. It came at the close of a three-hour debate over what seemed to be an unimportant matter. President Gompers said there was involved the principle of compulsory legislation instead of vol untary legislation in the federation.
 Do you think that if We go back to cOmpulsion. you will induce the railroad brotherhoods to become af- filliated? Is it not more likely to drive them away from us?" said Mir. Gompers.
 Some resolutions of a universal eight hour day are being considered by the executive committee of the federation and the chairman expects to report on them tomorrow.
 Heads of railroad employees broth erhoods who are determined that the Adamson eight hour law shall not be broken down, conferred here today with President Wilson, Attorney Gen eral Gregory and their executive rep resentatives. They declared their purpose to aid the government in ev- cry way in fighting injunction suits against the law and made further plans for perfecting a working agree

 It was regarded here tonight as not improbable that a delay might be caused by the desire of the MeXicans to communicate further with General Carranza. Mir. Cabrera said he and his colleagues would report new de- velopments, and nothing may be done until Saturday.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.- American aviators fighting with the French forces on the western front have brought down total of 21 German aeroplanes, according to Lieutenant William Thaw, a member of the Fran co-America aviation corps. who arriy- ed here today on the steamer La Tou- raine for a three weeks visit among relatives. Lieutenant Thaw was ac- companied by c. c. Johnson. also an American aviator. whose home is in New York.
 Regulations of the French army forbid us talking of our work Lieu tenant Thaw said. My personal part in .he fighting has been told in the cable dispatches and one of the 21 German machines brought down is credited to me. We heard nothing before leaving France regarding the request of the American government to drop the name American from the Franco-American corps. All of us have sworn allegiance to the French government"
 MT. Johnson said that for some time the work of American aviators has been confined to scouting flights. Both of the aviators talked with Norman Prince just prior to going on what proved to be his last flight. They said that he volplaned back to the French line after an air engagement and in alishting his machine struck some tel egraph wires. turning over. and he received injuries which resulted in his death.

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 20. - Luis Cabrera and his colleagues on the Mexican-American joint commission, will be formally told tomorrow by Secretary of the Interior Lane, chair man of the American commission, on just what terms an agreement provid- ing for the withdrawal of the Ameri- can punitive expedition and the pro- tection of life and property along the international border may be reached
 Fortified by the assurances of Pres ident Wilson that he will back the American representatives in their ef- forts to reach a settlement Of the questions at issue between Mexico and the United States. Secretary Lane returned late today. He immediately went into conference with Dr. J. E. Mott and Judge George Gray, the oth- CT American commissioners, inform ing them in detail of the conference he had at Washington Saturday with the President. The formal meeting with the Mexicans will take place to- morrow.
 Cabrera Hopeful
 The Mexicans appeared not to take A pessimistic view of the situation, Mir. Cabrera again assuring newspap- CT men that he was very hopeful of an amicable agreement. There was no evidence, however. that he was pre- pared to recede from his position so long maintained, that agreement to the American plans was out of the question. There was some reason to- night to believe that MT. Cabrera had won his colleagues over to an agree ment to stand with him.
 The plan to be placed before the Mexicans will contain nothing that is new to the issue. The question of is sue is not the withdrawal of General Pershing's troops. They will be call ed back when the American govern ment is convinced that it can be done without jeopardizing the safety of the border. The more debatable question is the method of controlling the bor- der after they have been taken out. The Mexicans will not be permitted to place restrictions on the manner in which the American government may protect its border nor on the manner in which it may punish ma rauding bandits.
 Troops Restricted
 The Mexicans have objected seri- ously to acknowledging the right of the United States to send troops across the international border in pur- suit of bandits. but have been more insistent that in case the troops are sent that they be moved only with re- strictions. When the Mexican com missioners leave here it will be with

NEY FARM LOAN LAW WILL
NOT HELP THE NEGROES

Chicago, Dec. 5.-A rather pessi-
mistic view of the negro farmer prob
lem in the South was presented today
at the national conference on market
ing and farm credits by Lewis Cecil
Gray, professor of economics at the
George Peabody College for Teachers
at Nashville, Tenn. The new farm
loan law, he said, was unlikely to help
the negroes or poor whites, and, be-
cause of it's maximum limitation on
loans, would prove of little value to
the big planters.
The plantation system, the speaker
said, grew naturally out Of the aboli-
tion of slavery, which was first re-
placed by hired negro labor and later
by the tenant farmer system.
"For good or for evil" said Profess
sor Gray, "the system is firmly rooted
in the soil of the South"
