fered most inglorious defeat at her
hands, But with all your shameful
attempt to defeat suffrage for the
women of Montana it carried by ire
mendous majority and you received
the just rebuke OF your dog-in-the-
manager policy. Your name is spoken
today in Montana with derision and
contempt, Your story OF Colorado is
tissued Of falsehoods from start to
finish. Among other things you have
said that the women of Colorado

ACCEPT PLAN
0FCARRANzA
FOR MEETING
Administration Decides to
Agree to Suggestion for
Settling Case.

Washington, Aug. S.-The admins
tration has decided to agree to Gen
eral Carranza's suggestion in his last
note for the discussion of points of diff
ference between the United States and
Mexico by a commission of six mem
bers and will proceed at once to the
selection of the three American repre-
sentatives. This will be done on the
understanding that after the points
proposed by General Carranza are dis
posed of other questions will be taken
up.
The CarranZa government wants to
take I'D the border situation first by
the proposed joint international COM
mission but is willing that other mat
tiers should be discussed later. Eliseo
Arredondo so outlined the Mexican at
titude today to Acting Secretary Polk,
who took the information to the cab
met meeting.
It was indicated that state depart
ment officials were satisfied with the
situation and the appointment of
American commissioners might be ex-
pected any time.
Mr. Arredondo assured Secretary
Polk that General Carranza's state
ment in his last note that the commits
sioners preferably would discuss the
subjects outlined in the original pro-
posal merely meant that preference
would be given to the border situation
but that other questions were not eX-
cluded. He said also that he regarded
the last Mexican note as one of COM
plete compliance with American sug-
gestions and it was on that basis Mr.
Polk took the matter to the cabinet.

Strike Case
AtMeetjnq

New York, Aug. S.-A decision as to
whether 100000 employees of 235 rail-
road systems in the United States shall
for an eight hour day and pay at the
rate of time and a half for overtime
is expected TO- Jesuit from a conference
of the national conference on rail-
railroad brotherhoods which was re-
sumed here today. Earlier in the sum-
mer the railroad managers rejected
roads with the heads of the four great
most of the demands of the brother
hoods prepared to arbitrate in accord
ance with the Newlands act.
Since then the union officials have
taken a vote of members of their or
CARNATIONS on the question of wheth-
er a strike shall be declared if their
demands again are refused. 1t has
been stated that the great majority of
the men voted to strike if necessary.
The result of the vote will be announ-
ced to the railroad managers today.
More than twenty railroad managers
are members of the committee repre-
senting the railroads, while the men
are represented by Warren S. Stone,
grand chief of the Brotherhood Of
Locomotive Engineers; W. G. Lee,
head of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmep; A. b. Garretson, head of
the Order of Railway Conductors and
w. S. Carter, head of the Brotherhood
Of Firemen and Enginemen.
No decision was looked for today II
was reported that the managers would
ask for delay of several days to con-
slider the proposals of the men and that
the final answer would be given at
another meeting later in the week.
Possibility of strike is regarded by
the business interests of the country
as extremely grave and much pressure
has been brought to bear upon both
the railroads and the men to consent
to some method of arbitration

Senate Puts

Fund Report

Washington, Aug. S.-wfthout de-
bate the senate today agreed to the
conference report on the army appro-
priation bill carrying $267, 597 900 for
maintenance of the reorganized regu-
lar army and national guard.
The only criticism of the report
came from Senator Clapp of Mime
sota-, who protested against elimina-
ton of the La Toilette amendment in
creaslng the minimum age limit for
enlistment from IS to q years with
out consent of parents or guardian
Because of this he voted against the
report
The bill provides for organization
of council for national defense to
coordinate transportation, industrial
and agricultural facilities in time of
stress. for relief of dependent families
of soldiers in service on the Mexican
border and appropriates a special sum
of more than $4,000, 900 for develop
ment of aviation in the army
The naval bill also was in its last
stages today. although failure of CON
ferees to agree on the important
building and personnel provisions
made necessary the less speedy meth
Cd of referring senate and house diff
eTences back to these bodies. If the
house, even under administration
pressure refuses to accept the senate
provisions for building IS vessels, in
Guiding eight capital ships next year
and for an enlisted strength of $4,000
men, it is considered probable the sen
ate will abandon its three year cOntin-
uing program in an effort to compro-
mise. The house plans to vote on this
measure next Tuesday or Wednesday.
