The following is an excerpt from an
article appearing in The Railroad
News, Of Dayton, Ohio, October 25th.
The Railroad News is devoted to the
interest of railroad men exclusively.
The Third District has a safe and
most able exponent in the person of
Judge Charles W. Dustin, the Repub-
lican nominee for Congress. The peo-
pie showed their belief in him at the
August primary when he was nom
mated by an overwhelming vote. His
election, as before remarked, is doubly
necessary, as he would succeed a
Democrat who is bound to vote blindly
the win and wish of that partys
leader We firmly believe the moment
has arrived for change. We believe
it the more firmly when we note the
continued Democratic cry regarding
the finishing of the war by the same
hands which instituted it and Dem
ocratic silence on live issues demand
ing answer. Lacking proverbs of their
own making, they advert to homely
old Abe Lincoln for a slogan. 1t is
not he kept us out of war;" the false
cry which won the election of 1916.
Lincoln's utterance would have been
disclaimed by him had he known of
its use as Democratic war cry. But
that aside. 1t is about time for Ohio
to redeem the detection Of two years
ago and assist in concluding a thor

Mexico is going to hear and know the

fidently that there will be among the
Mexican workers a high appreciation
Of the American struggle to safeguard
liberty
Word reaching this city indicates
that already among Mexicans in the
United States the coming conference
is having an effect that will be graft
flying to American wellwishers. 1t is
indicated that Mexicans are coming
into closer unity for the democratic
development of their own country
placing the national ideals above any
factional difference.

Stove Mounters
Jurisdiction Claim Evaded BY
War Labor Board. Right
to Organize and Bargain
Collectively Affirmed.

Hamilton, Ohio-The national war
labor board has declined to pass upon
the jurisdiction claim of the Stove
Mounters' union in its controversy
with the Estate Stove Company
The board affirms its rule that
workers have the right to organize
and bargain collectively.
1T is not" says the board, "the
purpose of this finding, however, to
decide the jurisdictional claims as be-
tween different unions, which are
questions which should be adjusted be-
tween organizations involved, without
Interference viii or cessation of pro-
duction, and for this reason the find
ing does not require the company to

satisfying the other demands he
makes"
This is striking tribute to the in
fluence of President Wilson's strong
statesmanlike attitude, for only few
days ago Snowden was using very
hostile tone toward the President.
The truth is that President Wilson
has effectually spiked the pacifists'
guns. They have been compelled to
realize that his view that force alone
would bring the Germans to reason
has proved correct 1t can now be
said that British labor was never so
united on the subject of war as at
the present moment, thanks very
largely to the splendid handling of
the German peace feelers by the Pres
ident.
The slump in pacifism which result
ed from the deliberations of the Inter
allied Labor and Socialist Conference
continues and the rank and file of
labor, heartened by the favorable con-
dition on the Western front, is not in
clined to listen to peace propaganda
other than that of the kind voiced by
Wilson.
This is manifested in the attitude
of the members of the Boilermakers
Union, large, powerful organization
whose Executive Committee had
agreed to a somewhat pacifist resolu-
ton regarding peace. At subsequent
meetings members of this union have

Stand Toward Germany.

London.-The remarkably clear,
able and firm reply of President Will
son to the German note requesting an
armistice and accepting his fourteen
points as the basis for peace have
been unanimously endorsed by the
chief labor organizations of Great
Britain.
Both the parliamentary committee
of the Trades Union Congress and the
National Executive Committee of the
Labor Party have expressed their ap-
proval. And even well known paci-
fists are impressed by the Presidents
action.
For instance, Mr.. Philip Snowden,
M. P, well known Independent Labor
Party leader, has stated that "On the
whole, l think the second note is very
satisfactory. 1t leaves the door open
and / do not think that in view of

calling upon their secretary to resign
for framing the motion This is symp-
tomato of the spirit prevailing in
trade union circles, which has been
strengthened by the sinking of the

The reference in President Wilson's
second note to the outrages committed
by Germans reflects exactly the feel
ing which is widespread here.

BALLOTS NOW READY
 FUR MEN IN SERVICE

After several days of almost night flee of the board of supervisors have finished preparing the voting blanks and ballots to be mailed to the voters from this county who are in the mili- tary or naval service of the United States. All these packages are regis tered at total cost of 19 cents a piece
 It is the general belief that not a heavy vote will result. Many of the packages will never reach the soldiers to whom they are addressed and in the cases of many the ballots will not reach them in time for their return to the office of the board before mid night of September 10.
 In order to facilitate the delivery of the packages, Recorder Vaughn some time ago adressed the commandant of each cantonment and camp where boys from Arizona have been known to have gone, requesting that notices be posted informing the soldiers from Arizona of the voting arrangement and to secure the proper addresses of the men. To date the recorder has received about half dozen replies.
 Though it is known where the en- listed and drafted men went from here | it is not known except by accident where they have been transferred No doubt, if the packages were sent to | their last known address, they would l be forwarded to their present addresses 1 provided they are yet in this country l But under the postoffice regulations registered mail is not forwarded be- yond the boundaries of the country SC the packages cannot reach the boys who have gone overseas unless they
 are directed expressly to them from
 the Arizona postoffices.

After a slow and tedious contest with the water, the excavating for the foun- dation of the new addition to the state house is nearly complete and work of building forms for the concrete soon will start.
 Striking flow of water at a depth of only eight feet changed what had promised to be trivial job into a slow, heavy task, wearying for both men and mules
 It is the intention of the men in charge of construction of the addition to the capitol to shut out the water with reinforced concrete floor.

 The Canadian salvage steamer Salv- or has gone to the scene of the wreck but on account of heavy swell, has been unable to get near the vessel.
 The Canada Maru is exposed to the winds and currents of the open Pa cific and local salvage men said they believed a southwest gale probably would cause the steamer to break up.
 J. Norisuga, the Canada's purser, said the fog and an unusually strong current caused the wreck.
