sident Stone of the Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers and he was fol- lowed by President Sheppard of the Brotherhood of Conductors. Their talk both followed along the same lines and both protested against the Adamson law. They contended that it was impossible to devise an impartial board and Stone furnished the committee some interesting facts in relation to a former board of arbitration where the man who was supposed to be a neutral was actually the attorney for one rail- road and the attorney for the re- ceiver of another.
 The President of the Conductors said that the law would only aggra- vate matters and he could not see it's use. The railroadmen wanted the eight hour law and were going to get it. Suppose the award went against them, why should they be compelled to put up with conditions

PARIS, Jan. 23.-The entire speech of President Wilson is pub lished in practically all the news papers. The tone of the comment may generally be described as sym- pathetic but sceptical.
 The Petit Parisien says that Pre- sident Wilson very mistakenly places the attacked and the aggressor on the same footing and in the same peace making category. The Journal National says that apparently Will son is obsessed with the notion of inaugurating the Golden Age of Universal Brotherhood regardless of the rapacity of his own money lords.

greatest excitement prevails in this city following the testimony of Pre- sident Noble of the Stock Exchange and in brokers circles there is a noted furry.
 Noble said that all he knew about it was the constant report in the Street that men of whom he was un- informed had formed pools to ma- nipulate and depress the market. He could not say if these had anything to do with leaking information from Washington. He rather thought they had. He had heard that the operations of these manipulators were to depend upon advance news

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.- President Wilson says that he him. self has approved the withdrawal of Pershing's outposts and that the main force will follow suit later when Fletcher goes to Mexico. The troops are marching light and are ready for any possibility.
 It is denied that the withdrawal has any political or diplomatic sig nificance although here it is de- clared that it positively has such.

 NOW VERY PROBABLE GETS SOME FACTS

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The first day of the Leak Probe in this city began with the preliminary state ment by Counsel Whipple who said that the Committee was not in- vestigating the the market, but was to investigate the transactions of the week ending December 18th, and to discover what brokers were active and who profitted by the transaction. He announced that the first witness whom they would call to examine would be President Noble of the Stock Exchange.
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-01-24

He had taken no steps to prevent it. There was no reason why he should. He understood such was legal and if legal it was not impro- per. He could not recollect the names of any of those who had been engaged in such transactions He did not know that they had ever been mentioned.
 Whipple caused the sensation this admission created to become review the exchange books for that date and the committee adjourned pending the books being produced.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.- While the leak probe goes on in New York and the Senate debates for hours over what shall be done about the Presidents peace speech, the Interstate Commerce Committee of the Senate continues it's hearings on the new Adamson bill which incor- porates a clause prohibiting strike without arbitration. The situation is attracting general attention in the labor world but little is given out in connection with it in the press.

few democrats as we'll as republicans although it is acknowledged that Wilson has such influence among the vast majority of the democrats that he has practically power to do- minate the situation in every way.
 Republicans insist that Wilson is trying to create a one man power in Congress and for it's own dignity and reputation the both houses of Congress should call a halt in this direction.

 What gave some weight to the Jones remarks is a published ad mission in the papers that Wilson is planning to make thrice a week visits to the capitol to speed up the work of legislation. This has caused a feeling of irritation among some

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23.- While President Wilson is coming and going the rounds of the capitol and the White House, his trips to and fro are highly objectionable to republican members of Congress who admit that they regard these visits to the capitol as buttings-in.
