PEACE-AT.ANY-PRICE
 PEOPLE DANGEROUS
Secretary Redfield Caustic in Reply to Emergency Peace Federation
 Message.

New York, March 21.-Leaders at the three-day session of Emergency Peace Federation, which opened here today, declared there was ample time to feel the pulse of the, country on the question of war, in the interval before the extra session of congress starts. The "fallacy' of rushing into war should be impressed upon the profes- sional leaders, they believe.
 President Wilson, it was asserted, should be urged to renew at this time his peace proposals to the warning powers, because of the Russian rev. olution and it's effect upon Germany and Austro-Hungary.
 The speakers said the belligerents are in a receptive mood" on the ques- tiOn of peace advances.
 The publicity agent of the federa- tion made public telegram sent to President Will son by Dr. David Starr Jordan, protesting against "the treas enable" attitude of "male factors of great wealth, whose spokesmen are. in the Union League club, for declaring war in advance of the government" He said: "The nation will uphold you in resisting, but never in yielding to their pressure"

Kansas City, March 21.-A confer ence of western 7aii1o cad workers, comprising si xunions, continued it's sessions today with aa effort to com plete organization, so that a. con sideration of possible wage changes might be taken up shortly. /,
 Sam H. Grace, secre etary, declared that because of the concessions just won by the four big brotherhoods, a committee would probably be ap- pointed to consider whether or not the unions represented at this con- ference might not make demands similar to those of the trainmen.
 The unions represented here at the conference are the machinists, biler- makers, carmen, electricians, sheet metal workers and blacksmiths. <

ton, were found at points varying in distance of from few hundred yards and a quarter of a mile from the house. All were dead when found The bodies were taken to the James Weatherington place, from where it is probable the funeral services will be conducted.
 The demolished Weatherington home and outbuildings and the twisted, torn and uprooted trees mark what is believed to be the first place the storm hit. All damage here was within a radius of quarter mile, and the point where the windcloud swept up off the ground is clearly defined by row of unharmed trees in the woods adjacent to the WeatheringtOn barnyard.
 Amos Home Gone.
 The wind was rushing from the west in a slightly northeasterly direction It swooped upon the Weatheringtons then jumped perhaps a mile to the John Amos home, one and a half miles northeast of Dalark. The Amos home was demolished, but Amos. his wife and two sons were not killed. The father was hurt seriously, and it is
 
 believed he is injured internally. Mrs Amos and her sons are slightly hurt There was general damage to the Amos property and an abrupt boun- diary to the storms path, very similar to that at the Weatherington place.
 From Amos home the twister arose and settled down third time at the home of M. Langley. His house was not demolished, although the damage to it was heavy. None of the Langley household was hurt.
 So far as reports go the storm left no further traces, of it's violence after hitting the Langley place.
 Weatherington, whose family was annihiliated, was prosperous farmer and a man of standing in this com munity. His home was one of the best around here.
 There is no estimate of stock and property damage, workers and rescue parties thus far being only able to ascertain the extent of the human suffering.
