MEN ARE NEEDED NOW FOR WORK
 ON THE. RAILROAD
Gravel Output More Than Can Be Handled By Present Force
 Ballasting and Surfacing.

According to Superintendent of Construction Packer, the Commission could use 100 more men than are at the present time on the payroll of the Commission, on the work now being done on the new D line. The dragline excavator is getting out an enormous amount of gravel and is capable of putting out more, but the forces handling the output are inadequate and cannot use the amount taken out. There is no waste of this material, however, as it is dumped along the side of the tracks for use later on.
 Efforts are being made to get the extra men for the ballasting gang and when this is accomplished, the. work on the new D line which is now moving fast, will be given a new impetus.
 The removal of the section crews under Foreman Mike Dunn from their old camp on the south bank Fish creek, leaves only two men on the old location from the switch to the end of steel near Lost Slough. These men will act as watchmen over the property of the A. E. c. still remaining on the old right of way and guard against any accident that may befall the bridges, trestles and culverts until they have been finally removed for use on the new D line.
 These two men are camped in the old cabins built by Mike German & Go. during the tenure of their grading contracts on the old right of way. These cabins are situated on the south bank of Clear creek, near the old water station and were formerly occupied for while by the section men now in Mike Dunn's l crew.

 The practice games indulged in lately have developed some talent hitherto unsuspected along certain lines of the game in some of the players, and, others who have not been seen in action before have come forward and demonstrated that they have the stuff in them
 The boys propose to devote the funds derived from the sale of tick cts for the games towards the pay ment of the clubs indebtedness in the cost of the grandstand and the improvements made to the grounds. aRd anything taken in in excess of the amount required for this pur- pose, will be donated to the Red Cross.
 The game on Sunday will be commenced sharp at two o'clock in the afternoon and it is hoped that the public will give the game large measure of their patronage. The game is going to be good one.

PRESIDENT TO Be TOLD
EVILS Of 8-HOUR LAW

Final effort to save government
clerks from operation of the Borland
eight-hour law is being made this
afternoon.
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor. Presi-
dent H. NJ. McLarin of the National
Federation of Federal Employees and
John S. Beach compose a committee
which will call on President Wilson
this Afternoon and request him to veto
the measure.
They will tell the President that to
allow the amendment to stand prob
ably will result in the resignation of
thousands of government clerks and
seriously cripple war work.
They will point out to the chief
magistrate that the additional hour of
service will be rendered for but little
additional pay under the plan for a
fat increase of 1920 a year in the
wages of government workers, and
that in many cases there will be an
actual decrease in wages by reason of
the extra hour of work.
If the President refuses to veto the
bill. the National Federation of Fed
eral Employees will launch an imme-
diate campaign for time and a half
pay for overtime work. In this effort
the federation will have the active
support of the American Federation
of Labor. Effort will be made to
amend the urgent deficiency bill to
provide increased pay for overtime
employment.

John Sookine's Statement.

Coincfdent with the arrival of
Kerensky in London. John Sookine. a
member of the Russian commission
sent to the United States by the
Kerensky government a year ago. and
just back from France. declares that
Russia would welcome military action
by the allies to overcome German
domination.
Mr. Sookine expressed fear of ir-
reparable consequences which would
follow if the Russian people were not
aided Immediately to throw off the
German grip.
Germany. Mr.. Sookine says, has i'm
posed upon Russia "a peace Of injus-
tice and violence. which has not even
been respected. and the Russian
masses feel that they have been be-
trayed" Instead of happiness" he
adds, new sorrows, privations and the
threat of famine are their lot
"In these conditions. and realizing
that Russia is perishing, the Russians
would welcome allied help. which
would encourage them to overthrow
the German tyranny. Voices coming
from everywhere in Russia prove this"
