BAKER WANTS
AMERICAN BOYS
ARMY Trained
System of Universal Military
Training Recommended to
Committee by Secre-
tary Of War.

Washington, Aug. 4.-War de-
partment recommendation for a sys-
tenn of universal military training
of three months for all eligible
youths in their 10Th year was pre-
scented by Secretary Baker today to
the senate and house military conf
mittees for their guidance in de-
termining the permanent military
policy of the nation.
The proposal is contained in
bill prepared by the general staff of
the army at the secretary's direc-
ton. Secretary Baker said that
General Pershing had not been
consulted and the plan was tenta-
tive to that extent.
The departments bill calls for
regular army of 2l divisions and
necessary auxiliary services, with
peace strength of $4,000 enlisted
men and a war strength of l,250,0OO.
The reserves to fill up the divisions
to full strength would be provided
through a modified form of the
selective service act under which
the national army was raised for
the war with Germany. For train
ing purposes, only youths in their
10Th year would be called to the
colors for a three months period,
to be attached to regular divisions
for, that time. 1t is estimated that
this would provide an annual class
CT 100000 men to be given inten-
sive military instruction, stripped
of all vocational or other educa-
tional features.

could not make my feet keep still
when the colored orchestra at the
Midnight Frolic played the jazz and

Il danced there, in AID street,

Quinn, at the Century Grover2"
1t is interesting to note that his
royal highness sent two aide-de-
camp home before he started to see
New York. Rosie Quinn seemed
much on his mind from an aesthet tic
viewpoint, He mentioned her sew
eral times and proceeded But the
place I had the most fun in was the
Little club. You meet all sorts
there, and the jazz music was the
finest ever heard. Say, | was there
every morning until 4 o'clock and
all the help about the place got to
know me. I could even get in at
2 a. M, long after the doors were
closed"
Quite a ChIcken Fancier.
The prince chuckled jubiliantly:
Did you ever notice the pretty girl
who used to visit the Little club
with Maurice-she wore diamond
band across her forehead? She's

Soon the strains of "When Tulips

pend. We recognize that the only
way in which we can exist under the
present system is to demand further
increases in wages. But we agree
with Representative Blanton that
this affords but temporary relief. 1t
does not offer a remedy.
"Laborers' bill, on the other hand,
provides a remedy and we ask mere
ly that its terms be scrutinized. Our
full argument in support of these
terms will be presented on Wednes-
day before the house committee on
interstate commerce In this state
ment we are sounding the note Of
our basic principle.
Labor Is Articulate. .
THAT this role originates with
labor Is merely because labor hap
pens to have firm organiza tions
through which it may become ar
ticulate. 1t is not to benefit labor
as labor alone; it is to benefit the
consuming public, of which labor at
present is the audible part. In la
boris bill, providing that the public
takes over the railroads and estab-
fishing a control between the pub
lie, the railway operating manage
ment and the employees, the labor or
ganizations Of America have estab-
lished this new policy which en-
visages theft condition not only as
producers, but also as consumers.
1T marks the step by which or
ganized labor passes from demands
for wage increases to demands that
the system of profits in industry be
overhauled. Hitherto, during sue
cessive wage negotiations and ar
bitration awards, we have called for
provisional settlements only, of
differences as to wages, hours and
conditions of labor. That principle
of genuine cooperation and partner
ship based upon a real community
of interest and participation in con-
troll OF which President Wilson has
spoken to congress has been ignored
both by labor and by the private
owners of the railroads.
Too Much H. c. of L.
What wage increases have been
received during the past few years
resulted only in Immediately being
followed by more than proportion
ate increases in the cost of living.
Each rise in wages has turned out to
mean only temporary relief for the
affected workers. When the in
creases have gone around the circle,

shall be represented equally.
Want All Share Equally.
That the public, the operators and
the wage earners share equally all
revenue in excess of the guarantee
to private capital, by granting to
the operators and the employees one
half the savings which are expected
to be made by such perfected Or
ganization. and to the public the
other half as consumers, either by
increasing service without adding
costs or by reducing costs.
"This role originates with labor"
SAYS the statement, because labor
happens to have firm organizations
through which it may become artic-
ulate."

in the statement because w. G. Lee,

Innuendoes Must Cease.

labor as producer loses the advan-
tage of the new wages through the
additional cost it pays as consumer
Moreover, through compounded
profits take on these wage increases,
each cycle becomes an upward spiral
of costs which the consuming pub
lie vainly reaches to control.
"As the major part of the con-
suming public labor is entitled to
representation on the directorate of
the public railroads. As a producer
of capital, it is entitled to repre-
sentation on the directorate of the
railroads. To capital, which is the
fruit of yesterdays labor, we now
propose to discharge every just OBJ
legation.
"We demand that the owners Of
capital, who represent only financial
interest as distinguished from oper-
ating branches and energy, be re-
tired from management, receiving
government bonds with a fixed inter-
est return for every honest dollar
that they have invested in the rail-
way industry. We ask that the rail-
roads of the United States be vested
in the public: that those actually en-
gagged in conducting that industry,
not from Wall street, but from the
railroad Offices and yards and out on
the railroad lines, shall take charge
Of this service for the public.
these represent all the brains,
skill and energy that is in the busi-
ness. They are entitled to that
measure of control which is equal to
their ability and their responsibility
for operating the transportation
properties. Then, and then only will
the service be primarily for the pub
lie, not primarily for profits to spec-
ulators and inflators of capital.

Wilson could suspend wartime pro-
hibition.
Senator Hitchcock said he told his
caller that the only way slate of
peace could be established was by
ratification of the treaty, and re-
marked that ratification was being
opposed by some senator's with
whom the "wets" had been influen-
tial.
Ever since President Wilson
made it clear a month ago that he
considered it impossible to declare
rehabilitation complete and thus
make prohibition suspension posi-
BILE until peace had been established,
treaty opponents have charged that
the liquor interest were being lined
up to force ratification. Senator
Hitchcock said today, however, that
there had been no effort of that
sort and none was contemplated.
Refuses Any Pledge.
Mr.. Hitchcock said the cali from
the liquor agent was entirely at the
latter's solicitati ton and that the
treaty had been discussed only after
the agent had asked him to use his
influence with the president to have
prohibition suspended. This, the
senator said, he refused to do.
Although the senate spent most OF
its day discussing the high cost Of
living, Senator Sterling, republican,
South Dakota, made a speech an
nouncing he could not vote for the
treaty without reservations and
Senator Sherman, republican, 1lli-
t,ois, criticised President Wilson for
his attitude regarding Fiume.
Arrangements were made to have
the senate adjourn from tomorrow
to Friday so that the committee
night sessions at which Secretary
Lansing is to appear might not be
interrupted. 1t is not unlikely that
he will be questioned about a pro-
test said to have been made by him

recede from his attitude that he had
not the power to grant the increases.
president Wilson told us frank
ly," said Mr.. Jewell, that while
every agency Of the government was
working on plans to bring relief from
the high cost of living, the country
could not expect reduction to pre-
war standards for a good many years
to come. He made clear that what
the government now was doing
would take time and immediate re-
lief should not be looked for, and
that it would be a long time before
there was marked reduction"
The union officials also conferred
with Mr.. Hines, at his request and
informed him also that railroad EN-
ployes were unit in opposing his
plan for the congress authorized
committee. The director general
said he had no other solution, ac-
cording to Mr.. Jewell and insisted he
also had not the authority to grant
the increases demanded.
Fear Tie Up of Freight.
Chicago, Aug. A tieup soon of
freight traffic in the central west as
a result of the strike of railway shop
men was the prediction of l.. w.
Hawver, president of the Chicago
council Nof the Federated Railway
Shopmen's union, after he had re-
ceived reports from many additional
points relling Of the walkout of shop
employees. He said that a total of
250,0O0 shopmen were now on strike
and that before Wednesday night
Is per cent of the members would be
out.
"All work in the shops of the Chi
cago & Northwestern lines is tied
up" President Hawyer said, "and
they will soon have trouble handling
the mail. We hope that officers of
our grand lodge are successful in
their negotiations at Washington,
but we will stand firm on the strike
order until our demands have been
met"
Ordered to Return.
Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 4.-Rail-
way car repairmen who are on strike
in number of cities of the country
were ordered today to return to
work by Frank Paquin, general vice
president of the Brotherhood of
Railway Carmen of America, who
declared that, as a legal vote had
never been taken by the brother
hood, the strike was unauthorized.
Sioux City,, Ia, Aug. 4.-Nearly
1000 railroad shopmen went on a
strike here today. Officials of the
roads said they did not expect the
strike to last long. The railroads
are not accepting perishable freigh,
or live stock.
