UNCLE SAM MAY OPERATE THE
RAILROADS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The
railroad problem was discussed at
length at today's cabinet meeting.
Afterward it was said that govern
ment operation of railroads during
the war will be attempted only If it
becomes certain the roads them
selves are unable to deal with the
difficulties that confront them.
The general belief among admin
istration officials is that the pooling
plan about to be inaugurated by the
roads should be given thorough try
out and that ii it fails the govern
ment then should take hand.
There is some doubt, however, that
any pooling plan will work as we'll
as it might, so long as each road Is
compelled to concern Itself with
its individual profits.

PRODUCERS NOT
 LIKELY TO APPROVE
 SILVER PRICE FIXING
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. A. Whether or not western metal pro- ducers will approve federal price fix ing of silver or any other metals, ap- pears decidedly questionable, in view of the prevailing sentiment expressed this afternoon at the opening session of the conference of western metal producers at the Commercial club.
 While no definite action was taken in the matter, the spirited debates in dicated a steadily growing sentiment in favor of launching a vigorous pro- test against government interference in the metal market, especially with reference to silver.
 Violent opposition was also ex- pressed to the excess profits tax law in it's present form. While expressing a willingness to do their share toward helping in the war, even the confisca- tion of their own property, if need be, the metal men insisted that the law in its present form was discriminatory and unjust to the metal producers.
 The proposition of the Idaho Mining association to the effect that the law should be amended so as to eliminate all reference to capitalization and to provide for taxation on the basis on which individual incomes is based, met with strong support. but action on this was deferred temporarily.
 In order that the various problem. might be presented to conference .n concrete form, committees were ap- pointed to report tomorrow. One con- mittee is to draft resolution bearing on the excess profits tax. another is to present data and recommendations relating to the silver question and still another is to present data and recom- mendations concerning lead and zinc
 A telegram was sent tonight to Sec retary McAdoo, asking that further action by the government on the silver question be deferred until a general committee representing the conference can reach Washington.
 The conference was attended by '; leading metal producers from Wash ington, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Colo rado and Utah, the largest delegation from outside states coming from Idaho

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-President Wilson delivered to congress today an address, considered so important in its relational to international affairs it has been transmitted in advance by the government to practically every other capital in the world
 The president spoke as follows:
 Gentlemen of the congress:
 Eight months has elapsed since I last had the honor of addressing you. They have been months crowded with events of immense and grave significance for us. I shall not undertake to detail or even to summarize those events. The practical particulars of the part we have played in them will be laid before you in the reports of the executive de- partments. I shall discuss only our present outlook upon these vast affairs, our present duties and the immediate means of accomplishing the object we shall hold always in view.
 I shall not go back to debate the cause of the war The intolerable wrongs done and planned against us by sinister masters of Germany have long since become too grossly obvious and odious to every true American to need to be rehearsed. But I shall ask you to consider again and with a very grave scrutiny our objectives and the meas ures by which we mean to attain them; for the purpose of discussion here is the place and our action must move straight towards definite ends. Our objective is of course, to win the war and we shall not slacken or suffer ourselves to be diverted until it is won. But it is worth while ask ing and answering the question when shall we consider the war won?
 From one point of view it is not nec- essary to broach this fundamental mat ter. I do not doubt that the American people know what the war is about and what sort of an outcome they will re- gard as a realization of their purpose in it. As a nation we are united in spirit and intention. 1 pay little heed to those who tell me otherwise. l hear the voices of dissent-who does not? I hear the criticism and the clamsr of the noisy, .thoughtless and troublesome. also see men here and there firing themselves in impotent disloyalty against the calm. indomitable power of

Dec. 4.-Declaring that the Loyalty leagues throughout the state are acting as a clearing house for the employment of labor for Arizona mines and that the organizations by estab- fishing a race prejudice, are constitut- ing a menace to industrial peace, the Globe and Miami locals of the Inter- national Union of Mine.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4. - President Wilson's address to congress today was heralded throughout the world by the United States government. The achievement is regarded as probably the greatest publicit yfeat ever under taken.
 Distribution of the message abroad was personally directed from this city by George Greet, chairman of the con- mittee on public information.
 Nearly every known means of com unication-express train, telephone, telegraph, wireless and submarine cable-was utilized in transmitting the address. While an operator in New York was clicking off it's text on a traDscontinental wire direct to San Francisco, where it was immediately relayed to the Orient, another at his side was sending a Spanish transla- tion to Colon, canal zone. where it radiated throughout Central and South American capitals.
 Wireless operators picked the presi- dents words out of the air and relayed them to Caribbean sea points Doubt less many ships in these waters knew what was being said in Washington at almost the same time the address was being distributed by telegraphic sys- tems in this country.
 It is estimated approximately 35,000 miles of telegraph and cable wires were called into use in transmitting the message.

But l know that none of these speak of the nation. They do not touch the heart of any thing They may safe ly be left to strut their uneasy hour and be forgotten
 The Objective
 But from another point of view l believe that it is necessary to say plainly that we here at the seat of action consider the war to be for and what part we mean to play in the set clement of its searching issues. We are the spokesmen of the American peo- pie and they have right to know whether their purpose is ours. They desire peace by the overcoming of evil, by the defeat once for all of the sinister 1 forces that interrupt peace and render it impossible, and they wish to know 1 how closely our thous.t runs with 1 theirs, and what action we propose. i They are impatient with those who de- sire peace by any sort of compromise deeply and indignantly impatient, but they will be equally impatient with us | if we do not make it plain to them what our objectiveS are and what we are planning for in seeking to make conquest of peace by arms.
 I I believe that I speak for them when 1 say two things: First, that this in- 1 tolerable thing of which the masters of Germany have shown us the ugly face this menace of combined intrigue and force which we now see so clearly as the l German power a thing without con- science or honor, or capacity for GOV enanted peace must be crushed, and if it be not utterly brought to an end, at least shut out from the friendly inter course of the nations; and, secondly that when this thing and its power are indeed defeated and the time comes that we can discuss peace-when the German people have spokesmen whose word we can believe and when those spokesmen are ready in the name Of their people to accept the common judg- ment of the nations, as to what shal henceforth be the bases of law and o1 covenant for the life of the world-we shall be willing and glad to pay the Continued on Page Two)

WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-Scores of Austro- Hungarian subjects suspected of being enemy agents in this country will be arrested within few hours af- ter a declaration of war against Aus tria. Many of these men have been under surveillance by department of justice agents for months, but have not been taken into custody because of lack of definite evidence against them.
 When congress adopts President Wilson's recommendation that a state of war against Austria Hungary be de- clared, unnaturalized subjects of the dual monarchy automatically will be- come aliens and be subject to summary arrest and interment.
 For several months government agents have been gathering informa- tion on the hostile activities of Aus trians who were not subject to the re- strictions imposed on unnaturalized Germans by the state of war with Ger many.
 Government investigators recently reported an exodus of educated Aus trians from the United States and it is believed they fled in anticipation Of a formal declaration of war against their country. Among them were known to be men who had been con- nected with hostile interests. Conse- quently a declaration of war at this time would be too late to permit the apprehension of some of of the most dangerous leaders of the enemy espion- age system.
 Nearly million Austrian subjects in the United States would be affected by a declaration of war for they would immediately become amenaNe to the presidents recent order requiring en- emy aliens to register, forbidding them to travel without special pemit and barring them from water fronts, ware houses and terminals.

The text of the communication of Krylenko follows:
 To-day I entered into Mohiev at the head of the revolutionary troops The headquarters was entirely sur rounded without fighting. The last obstacle to the cause of peace has fallen.
 T cannot be silent on the sad act of lynch law practiced upon the former highest commander-in-ch chief, General Dukhonin. Popular hatred surpassed the limits of reason, and in spite of all attempts to save him, he was thrown out of a railroad train at the Moh1ev station and killed. The flight of General Korniloff the dxy before the fall of headquarters was the cause of this excess.
 T cannot allow the banner of the revolution to be stained, and it is necessary strongly to condemn such acts. A revolutionary people are fear full in a struggle, but they must be soft after victory"
