definite means of getting around the
existing crisis 1t would make pos
sible the arrest of any group OF per-
sons who sought to put into effect
strike order until the dispute had been
submitted to investigation before
special tribunal. The penalty con-
templated is a felony, which would
be based on a charge of conspiracy
against interstate commerce"
One of the main points yet to be
decided Is whether the tribunal be-
fore which Industrial disputes shall
be submitted should be n congress
sional commission or special body
OF more permanent character. The
number of members such a commits
sion would contain has been dis
cussed only tentatively.
Chairman Newlands of the Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee canvassed the situation among
his colleagues. He Is said to have
reported to the President he found
a general willingness TO meet the re-
uuirements of the hour, but a wide
divergence of views as to exactly how
10 meet them.
Opposition to the proposed increase
in the membership Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission is more gem
eral than to any other part of the
legislation suggested, and extends to
the members of the brothcrhoods.
They assert new members selected at
this time would be expected to favor
the railroads in their decisions. This
would amount to packing" the COM
mission against them 1t is claimed.
Senator Newlands spent a greater
part of the day in conference with
George c Todd assistant attorney
general; w. l.. Chambers on the
Board Of Mediation and Cancellation.
and Edgar f. Clark. member Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The main point under discussion was
the manner in which the legislation
should be divided so as to expedite
the work of Congress.
The question of when the eight
hour law should become operative
was discussed by Senator Newlands
both at the White House and the
Capitol. 1t IS understood the Presi-
dent was inclined to insist that It

or such time as would be necessary
TO have a commission report on the
existing controversy.
At the conference with the Steering
Committee. however, the weight Of
opinion was In favor Of making the
law operative within reasonable"
time, which was fixed tentative at
from thirty to sixty days
Senator OGorman expressed belief
that the Presidents program could
be rushed through Congress success
fully without delaying adjournment
longer than two weeks Until the
present emergency arose the legis}a-
tors had planned to start home the

Francis j. Heney Declares They Will
Emphatically Not support
Hughes for President.
SLIGHTED ON EVERY HAND
"Old GUARD Took Hughes Visit to

to Ride Rough Shod Over Their
Political Foes.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Francis j.
Heney wired Acting Chairman Mat
thew Hale, of the Progressive Ma
tional Committee, today that Califor-
MIA Bull Moosers. despite Charles F..
Hughes appeals, are refusing to sup
port him for the presidency.
Mr. Heney, Progressive represen-
tative of the Democratic National
Campaign Committee, telegraphed
from Los Angeles:
Hughes visit to California, the
cradle of Progressiveism, was every
where staged as an affront to Pro-
gressives Old-time leaders of the
reactionary crowd managed all his
meetings and were at his side on all
occasions Stand-pat newspapers
lauded his coming as a triumph OF
the old guard and praised his speech
es Progressive leaders were given
no recognition and were pushed into
the background. Hughes solemn ST.
lenCe apparently gave consent.
Governor johnson was completely
ignored, and he and Hughes did not
meet in the State at all. although the
Governor was campaigning for two
days in his race for United States
Senator within a few miles of where
Hughes was speaking, and once they
were actually in the same hotel for
a half hour, but with no sign of
recognition.
Chester Rowell, Progressive mem
Der OF Hughes campaign committee,
pleaded with Hughes for rejection OF
the old guard and recognition of Gov
ernor Johnson and the Progressives,
but In vain. and Rowell after journey
ing to Oregon to meet Hughes, left
the party in disgust after one meeting
in California and was seen with
Hughes no more.
''Rowell is now in complete retire
ment. Hughes spoke from the train
in Fresno. Rowelfs home city, but
Rowell was not present.
Northumberland S e p h n s,
former Progressive Congressman, re-
Gently appointed Lieutenant Cover
nor by Governor Johnson, was insult
ingly requested by Republican poll
tiCians to leave the platform, when
Hughes was speaking In Los Angeles
and he did leave the platform. The
matter was patched up later and he
returned to his seat
Hughes showed his true colors in
the State and plainly evidenced the
crowd that Is behind him and DELHI
erately chose the reactionaries for his
counsellors to the utter exclusion OF
tho Progressives California Progress
sives have been driven TO the sup

clouding the situation. there is no
