PHILADELPHIA, March

and now under consideration by
the Legislature at Harrisburg
He said:
"In the constitutional conven-

egates voting for the abolition
of capital punishment. | believed
then it should be abolished and
since have seen no cause to
change my mind. If anything [
am today more firmly convinced
than ever that the death penal

Won't Permit Rail Strike

been selected to prevent the
strike.
This committee is made up of
Secretary of the Interior Lane,
Secretary of Labor Wilson, Dan
iel Willard, president of the ad-
visory council of National de-
fense, and Samuel Gompers,
president OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor.
The committee will leave this
city for New York at 4:03 p. m.
today. 1t will confer with both
sides to the controversy. While
it has no legal powers, it is cloth
ed with extraordinary authority
in that it represents the Presi-
dent and cabinet and the council
of National defense.
The selection of the commit
tee was decided upon by the
council of National defense at
it's meeting this morning. At
that time it was agreed that a
railway strike at the present
time would be most disastrous
to the country and would inter
fere with the plans now being
perfected for National defense.
The suggestion of the council
was communicated to the Presi-
dent and he Immediately decided
that the cabinet convene to go
over the general situation.
There was not a single voice
raised at the cabinet meeting
against any action that would
prevent the strike. 1t then was
directed to name the committee
on mediation as suggested, and
to have it get into touch with the
brotherhood representatives and
the representatives of the rail-
roads without delay. This is the
first step and members of the
cabinet felt confident, it was sta
ted that the offer of mediation
will be accepted.

A Triple Peace Fake. "

canery that a new peace kite should
be flown during the prosecution OF

the same clumsy waving of a big
| stick masquerading as an olive branch
now that we saw last December.
Michaelis, who chants his little
piece by rote, cannot get the world
to pause to listen to his thoughts but

skilfully-worked-ou utterance in the
same direction, and Erzberger going

the peace gesture will have no effect
Whatsoever Our memories of what
