Brotherhoods and Managers
Expected To Reject All
Plans Offered.
PRESIDENT CALLS KERN
Tentative Plans Are Consid-
cred to Lay Crisis Before
Session Of Congress.

washington. Aug. 70. - tentative
plans for a joint session of the senate
and house to hear President Wilson
ask for legislation to prevent the
Threatened nationwide strike were
discussed by. the president with
Senator Kern, the Democrat leader,
when it seemed virtually certain that
break between the railroads and their
employes must follow final conferen-
ces.
Congressional plans include:
An 8-hour day law for railway en-
ployes.
A bill to increase the membership
of the interstate commerce commits
sion from seven to nine members with
Authority to divide into groups.
A resolution stating it to be the
sense of congress, that if the railroads
grant a basic 8-hour day they should
be entitled to increased revenues
compensatory with the increased
Operating expenses.
| A bill already pending, directing
the interstate commerce commission
to ascertain minimum, maximum and
average wages paid with hours of
service to. every class of railroad en-
ployes, compare them with wages Of
other industries in which similar skill
and risk are involved, to determine
the relation of railroad wages to rail-
road revenues and urge both sides to
present dispute to defer action pend
| ing the investigation.
Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, Sunday night issu-
ed a statement which for the first time
since the executives decided upon the
course they would pursue, fatty an
nounced that rather than give up ar
bitration, they regarded better to face
a strike.
He declared that for the railroads to
yield would result in temporary but
probably not permanent postpone
ment of the strike and that the issue
of arbitration at stake in the present
situation would be left unsettled.
| Arbitration Proposed.
The railroad presidents have sub
United their counter proposal to the
President. This plan, holding to the
demand for arbitration which the en-
ployes have declared they were unal-
Iterably opposed, proposes:
That the question of an eight hour
day is not directly connected with the
matter at issue and that there is a diff
ference between an actual eight hour
day as basis for pay.
That questions OF increases Of wages
! are indisputably questions which
should be settled by arbitration.
That the present demands of the
trainmen be submitted to arbitration
by the interstate commerce commits
sion or some board to be created by
the president or in some other way.
That if the arbitration board finds
wage increase should be granted, that
their finding would be retroactive and
the increase will take effect from the
time the arbitration begins.
That fund shall be created by the
railroads to provide for this contin-
gency, the interstate commerce COM
mission to keep the accounts that will
be necessary and the arrangement to
continue in the force for a time not
yet determined upon, the men agree
ing that during the period of arbitra-
ton there shall be no further de-
mands nor any attempt to strike.

HAS REASON TO BE Thankful
SOCIETY GIRL WITH
RUTHERFORD SHOWS

In the motorcycle or autodrome
world there is no rider better known
than Miss Hazel Russell, now with
the Daredevil" Watkins Drome
Show connected with the Rutherford
shows. She is not only the highest
salaries artist in her chosen profess
sion but she is the only woman who
performs acrobatic stunts on motor
cycle while in action in an aptodrome
arena. Miss Russell is the premier
rider with Watkins in conjunction
with the Rutherford shows.
When the big show is over and
Hazel Russell energies from her pri-
vate dressing tent, one would pick her
for debutant or society girl. She is
slim of build and just past her eigh-
teenth year. Miss Russell is a grad
uate of Bryn Mawr college. In school
she was remarkably fond of athletics.
One summer her father, who is a
Pittsburg banker, spent week with
Col. Harry Pollock, one of the owners
of the Rutherford Greater Shows,
along with him being his daughter,
Hazel The daughter had always
yearned for life with tented organ
ization, and threatened to run away
from home unless her wishes were ac-
ceded to. Her father believed that
about one week of roughing it would
remove all traces for a desire to fol-
low her inclination. The week with
the show the little girl became infat-
uated, not only with the thrilling de-
sire to become motorcyclist but with
handsome Ira Watkins as well, and
unknown to her father took daily les
sons from Daredevil" Watkins, and
before the weeks end she developed
into most wonderful rider and be-
came the bride of Watkins. Papa Rus
sell decided to allow her to shape her
own career, and under the guidance
of Daredevil" Watkins she has de-
veloped into the greatest woman
motorcyclist in the world today.
The Watkins live in Rutland, VT.
where Mrs. Watkins reigns as So
ciety queen.

RUTHERFORD SHOW
Splendid Aggregation of Enter
tainers-Fun, FoOlishness and
FrOlic Abound in Jolly
land"

Rutherford's Greater Shows, that
constitute "Jollyland," at the Mar
ion County Fair, is an aggregation of
entertainers that is. meeting with the
highest degree of approval by our
fair visitors, and Mrs. Tweedy and the
Marion County Fair association are
to be congratulated upon securing
this company for the annual fair.
= There is something doing every
minute in "Jollyland," and fun, fool
ishness and frolic abound in measure
sufficient to dispel the oldest crouch
that ever swung to pessimistic coat
tail. And especially pleasing is the
fact that each member of the COM
rany of fun makers, whether he be
the pole stretcher putting up one of
the tents, or Ed r. Salter, the grand
"mogul," who sits in his private office
and counts the cash, never becomes
too concerned with his own affairs to
fail to show every visitor all possible
courtesy and furnish any information
in his power that one may desire.
Evelyn Brooks, the "Spider" girls
face is all right, but we cannot tell
you about the figure. This Is very
perfect illusion, however, and will in
terest you. "The Whip" is bully good
>fun, the Submarine a hummer. There
are many other attractive features
some of which we have not yet had
time to see, but this is positively our
last line for this week, and when the
grounds close Saturday night we ex-
pect to have completed the round OF
everything enclosed in the fair ground
walls.

A SEMI-OFF|C|A[
UTTERANCE
Germany Intends to Hold Belgium and
Northern France, Unless She
is Driven Out
ASSOCIATED Press)

London, Nov. 30.-The Rheinish and
Westphalian Gazette in an article on
the principle of German peace, de-
clares that the reconciliation of Ger
many and her western enemies is i'm
possible. The paper declares it be-
lieves Chancellor Won Bethmann Holl-
veg recognizes this and adds:
"Our ultimate aim is to push thru
the west and to the ocean. Whatever
resistance offers must be crushed"
Referring to the Balkans the Ga
zette says: "What the victor gets he
holds"
HOLD FRANCE AND BELGIUM
In respect to the lost German col
onies the Gazette says: "If we do not
reconquer them the French provinces
are worth twice our colonies. We viii
take our compensation out in France.
Let US daily tell the French that ev-
cry foot we conquer is ours. We need
not waste words about Belgium. We
need access to the channel and we
need Antwerp. Whoever wants Bel
gium may fetch it from u.s."
The Gazette concludes that Bel
gium is more assailable than Russia
and that London can be destroyed
easier than Moscow because, it says,
Moscow costs blood and London only
torpedoes.
"We have no fantastic Dreams" are
the Gazette's final words, "of conquer
ing the world. German burgherdom
is not ripe to master and govern a
world empire. We neither can or will
destroy the British empire but the
minimum necessary for German peace
is the complete beating down of
France in the west and the prestige
of the German flag on all the SEAS"
An Amsterdam dispatch to the
Times refers to the Gazette's article
as by far the most remarkable that
has yet appeared in regard to Ger
man peace terms. The dispatch adds
IudC tuC 0dLSLtS represents SICdI III
dustrial magnates, who as recent ex.
ecutive changes show, are making
their influence increasingly felt. An
nexation is also advocated by DIR. Jae-
ger, member of the central party
in the Reichstag, who, writing in the
Dusseldorf General Anzeiger insists
that German blood shed in Belgium
since 1914 must not have been shed
in vain.
Would Keep the Liege Line
Belgium must be our guarantee" !"
writes DR.. Jaeger, "for good part
fthe war costs. We must retain per-
manently the Meuse line with Liege
and Namur. Part of old Luxemburg
which has become Belgian can per-
haps be ceded to the grand duchy."
After speaking of the Walloons,
DR.. Jaeger pronounced in favor of al
lowing the Belgian dynasty to remain.
He declared, however, that the coun-
try must be brought politically, mill
tarily and economically in closer re-
latlon to Germany.
