lied Labor.

Pittsburg, Pa. March 29.-W. w
Atterbury of Philadelphia presidenl
of the American Railway association
predicted in an address before the
Pittsburg Traffic club, at the annual
banquet tonight, that the "public
thru their representatives, will tie the
labor unions hand and foot in as
radical manner as the railroads FIND
themselves today"
Mr.. Atterbury, who was DISCUSSING
railroad conditions, said in part:
''The sins of our railroad ancestors
have been visited, justly or unjustly
upon their children's children, and
Notwithstanding that those of us of
the fourth generation have honestly
been endeavoring to give the public
good service, public distress,-the re-
suits of the sins of our forefathers-
is the basis of irrational legislation
which is one of the main contributing
causes to the unfortunate condition in
which the railroads now find them
selves.
IF the railroads suffer the public
suffers, if the railroad service i'm
proves the public benefits. The pub
lie, therefore. should be made to
understand the facts and theory of
railroad management, and the effect
of regulation. I have complete faith
that once the people do understand
this they will take steps to correct
the trouble.
ION the aggression of the rail-
roads brotherhoods, a few words,
think. will suffice. The railroads have
lived to rue the day of their public be
damned policy of generation ago.
Let the labor unions keep on with
their policy of damning first the pub
lie, then the president, then congress
and finally the supreme court, and
am satisfied the public, thru their
representatives, will tie the labor
unions hand and foot in as radical
manner as the railroads find them
selves today"

MASSACHUSETTS,
DEMOCRAT MAY
UPSET PLANS
Gallivan Opens Opposition
to Southern Democrats
Controlling House.

Washington, March ga nations
battleflags are being hoisted tonight
in both Democratic and Republican
camps, in preparations for confer
ences tomorrow and Saturday. over
the house organization plans.
The Democrats are facing a serious
proposition in the announced opposi-
ton of Representative Gallivan of
Massachusetts, "wet" insurgent,
who announced that while he will
support Speaker Clark for the speak
ership, he will not go into the Demo-
cratic caucus, would oppose the
organizations committee plans and
would urge the naming of several Re-
publicans as chairman of committees
81 am unalterably opposed to the
Southern Democrats remaining in the
saddle throughout the coming ses-
sion," Mr.. Gallivan said. "They have
virtually had all the choice chairman
ships in the past and they should not
have them again. This is not the time
for one section of the country to be
controlling the house."
Fears that enough Democrats will
follow Mr.. Galvan to upset the party
plans is based largely upon his sue
cess during the closing days Of the
last session, in defeating the judge
ship retirement bill SO earnestly de-
sired by Southern Democrats.

Little Rock, March Ex-senator W.
F. Kirby was in the city today, re-
turning from TeXarkana, where he
had been called by the illness of his
aged father and mother. He will
leave tomorrow for Washington to oe
present when congress convenes in

Cussing international affairs, he said:
"The situation is desperate. The
purpose of calling the extra session
is to declare war. 1t is inevitable.
Within few months we will have
compulsory military training between
the ages of IS and As, and there will
be a million and half men in the
mobilization camps. We don't want
this war, and I have done all I could
to keep the country out of it. , But
if it must come, believe in prepar-
ing to make the most of it. and that
as speedily as possible. It's a big
ger job than some of the men WAC
are clamoring for war seem to appra-
ciate. 1t will cost untold amounts of
men and treasure. 1t will be war

Sayville, l.. Concerning Ger

stag today is reported by the Over

within the next few days the di-

be convened by President Wilson for
an extraordinary session of congress
in order to decide the question of way
or peace between the American and
German nations.
Germany never had the slightest
intention of attacking the United

such intention now. 1t never desired
war against the United States of
America, and does no. desire it to-
day.
How did these things develop?
More than once we told the United

marine as a weapon, expecting that
England could be made to observe in
