DRASTIC STATEMENT

While this is the most drastic state
ment thus far made by any railroad

Mr.. Jewell declared that the opposi-

unions. represented today at a meet

the six organizations, whose repre-
~senfatives called upon President
Wilson.
Railroad men, he said. see only one
solution OF the present problem and
IL is temporary relief through in
creased wages. and the adoption OF
the Plumb plan. The majority Of the
railroad workers, he added. favored an
extension of the Plumb plan to the
basic industries. chief of which would
be coal. steel and packing.
Twenty thousand railroad shopmen
are already on. strike because OF
meagre wages, Mr.. Jewell said. and
the union officials were unable to say
whether or o they could be per-
suaded to return to work.
LOSES THE REINS
The situation" he explained. is
one where the reins have gotten out
81 our hands. Every time we reach
for them they get a little farther

The strike vote ordered for the
shopmen asks each worker whether
or not he is willing to stick to the
old claims. the wage demand made
last January. and II he favors the
program OF the president and the d.
rector general OF railroads for the
creation of a wage board.

Jewell, that there will be an over

Republican leaders as inconsistent

Thus, Georges Lechartier, writing

day:
I'VE do not think that all interests.
including those of France. could be
overlooked or subordinated to the in
teresis Of the Republican party in
the United States. Let US bear in
mind what Senator Lodge said a few
hours before the United States en-
tered the war. and the deep emotion
his words provoked:
81 fully adhere said the eloquent
Republican leader. to the program,
of general policy outlined by Washing
ton when he warned the people of the
United States against permanent al
lance. but the man who owed the
victory of the American revolution To
an alliance with France would have
been the last to lay down the severe
rule that whatever the circumstances
and the end in view might be, we
were never to conclude an alliance
with another nation. The allies are
fighting the common enemy. and the
enemy Is u own.
We remember the emotion and
gratitude provoked here by the ad-
mirable language Of the Republican
leader. We are most grateful 70,
the assistance given which to such
great degree excelled the wish ex.
pressed.
The question is now to confirm
what the senator from Massachusetts
recommended and demanded in April
