RETURN FROM MEXICO
American Punitive Forces Back
From Neighboring Republic.
Mexican Protest Plays No Part In
Ordering Troops Home-Five
Bandits Killed.

Maria, Texas, Aug. 25.-Troops OF
the American punitive expedition.
which crossed the Mexican border six
days ago, marched out of Mexico in a
rain storm. The first of the expedt
tion to cross the border on the re-
turn, the pack and supply train,
reached the border shortly after $3.50
at night. The remainder of the exp
petition followed.
According to advices from Wash
ington, the withdrawal was entirely a
matter of military judgment and was
In no way influenced by the protest
filed by Mexico.
Lieutenant Harold G. Peterson of
Hutchinson, Mimi. who has reached
here, reported that Jesus Renteria,
the bandit leader. was shot and killed
by Lieut.. Il. III. Cooper when bandits
fired on Cooper's machine.
Colonel Langhorne said that the ex-
pedition was considered a success
from a military standpoint. He point.
ed to the killing Of five bandits and
the arrest OF six other suspects by
n Americans and the captured of
nine Carranza troops at Coyame. The
immediate reason for the withdrawal,
he said, was that there was no longer
any prospect of capturing other ban
dts and there were no more hot
trails" to follow.

Union Chiefs Request Rail Shop
men to Hold Decision
On Strike.
FOOD INQUIRY PENDING
Urged Acceptance of Presidents Com
promise Offer in Meantime-'n-
crease Depends on Results
Government Can Show.

Washington, Aug. 80. - Industrial
peace i n the United States depends on
the results the government can show
in the next 80 days in its campaign
to reduce the cost of living, in the
view of government officials and labor
leaders here. Three months is the
time limit facility set by the legislative
council of the railroad shop crafts in
suggesting to union locals throughout
the country that President Wilson's
compromise offer in response to their
demand for higher wages should be
accepted pending the outcome of the
effort to restore a normal price level.
Reserve Strike Right.
If the cost of living does not come
down, the 10000 members Of the
shop crafts would reserve the right to
strike for more money, and with them
probably would be associated the re-
mainder of the $500, 900 railroad en-
ployes, all of whom have been consid-
ering the same problem.
The letter of the executive council
served to compose somewhat the un-
e~asiness felt in official circles over
the immediate labor situation and to
focus attention on the legal measures
being directed by Attorney General
Palmer and his assistant, Judge Ames,
to take the Initiation out of prices, to
Furnishing hoarders and profiteers.
Ninety Days Time Limit.
In our opinion" the letter said,
"the next 80 days will bring the en-
tire situation to a head, and if a strike
is to take place every class of railroad
employees should be willing to join in
the movement, share their full meas
ure of responsibility and not leave the
issue to be decided by the % per cen
of the railroad employees represented
by the federated trades.
at is our honest judgment that a
fatal mistake would be made by our
members to assume the responsibility
of tying up the railroads at this time
when the President is evidently doing
all possible to reduce the high cos of
living"
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1919-09-04

Washington, Aug. q. - Postpone
ment Of the settlement of wage de-
mands until norman economic condi-
tons are restored was announced by
President Wilson as the policy which
the administration will pursue in deal
ing with such questions, particularly
those affecting railroad workers.
The President announced also that
it was neither wise nor feasible at this
time, when the most important ques-
ton before the country is a return to
a normal price level, to attempt to
increase freight rates to provide funds
for higher wages.
I'VE ought to postpone questions of
this sort until we have the opportun-
ity of certain calculations as to the
relation between wages and the cost
of living" the President declared in a
statement to the public concerning his
decision as to wages. 1T is the duty
of every citizen to insist on a truce in
such contests until intelligent settle
ments can be reached and made by
peace and common counsel. l appeal
to my fellow citizens of every employ
ment to cooperate in insisting upon
and maintaining such a truce"
Would Increase Living Cost.
President Wilson's statement was
issued in connection with the decision
of himself and Director General Hines
on demands by railroad shopmen for a
rs per cent advance in wages, but the
general policy pronounced covers also
the wage demands Of other hundreds
of thousands of railroad workers which
are pending before the director gen.
eral or about to be presented. 1t is
to be expected that other unions try
ing to obtain more pay will be asked,
as the shopmen, to play their part
with other citizens in reducing the
cost Of living by foregoing a temper
airy advantage which would add to
transportation costs.

Senate Committee Seeks to Re-
strict Participation on World
Commissions.
WH|RLWINO OF DEBATE
Proposal to Amend shantung Section
Of Peace Treaty Brings AGRA
monious Discussion In
Senate Itself.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Proyision Tor
American representation on a score OF
international commissions to carry out
details of the peace settlement would
be stricken out Of the peace treaty
under a sweeping amendment adopted
by the senate foreign relations COM
mittee.
Later in the senate itself the cpm-
mittee's previous decision to amend
the Shantung section raised a whirl-
wind of debate with Senator McCum-
Der, North Dakota, bitterly attacking
the committees course, and Senator
Borah, Idaho, defending 1t. Both are
Republican members of the commit
tee.
Afterward Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska, the Democratic leader,
talked over the possibilities of the sit
uation with President Wilson at the
White House and predicted afterward
that all amendments would be defeat
ed eventually and that the treaty
would be ratified during September.
Divide on Party Lines.
In it's decision regarding American
participation in the reconstruction
commissions, the committee divided on
party lines, the nine Republicans pres
ent standing as a unit for the amend
ment and the even Democratic votes
all being recorded in the negative.
Senator McCumber, who voted with
the Democrats against the Shantung
amendment, was absent.
An exception was made to the COM
mittee of the reparations commission,
which is to have charge of the collec-
ton of Germany's indemnity bill.
Senator Fall, Republican, New Mexico,
who presented the amendment, said
he had not proposed taking the Ameri-
can representative from this commits.
sion because he felt American inter-
ests might be directly involved in it's
work.
Blow at China, Says Mccumber.
In the commissions which are affect
ed by the amendment, Mr.. Fall said
American interest would be so indirect
as not to compensate for the dangers
of becoming h~opelesesly involved in
European affairs.
In the speech in the senate, Senator
McCumber declared the committee
majority really intended the Shantung
to drive a poisoned
blade" into the treaty with the pur-
of killing the league of nations.

INCLUDES TWIN CITIES
President to Visit Minneapolis
st. Paul On Coming Tour.
Executive Plans to Start the Twenty
five Day "Swine Around Circle"
Within Two Meeks. r

Washington. Aug. 3d. President
Wilson will leave Washington next
Wednesday on is speech-making tour
in the interest of the peace treaty and
will deliver his first address in Colum-
bus, Ohio. Thursday, probably in the
evening.
To Visit Twin Cities.
Washington, Aug. 20. - President
Wilson will begin his trip to the Pa
cific coast just as soon as details can
be arranged, probably within 10 days
or two weeks. Secretary Tumulty
made this definite announcement, add
ing that the President felt he should
make the trip. 1t is regarded as like
ly that the President will reach the
Pacific coast in time to review the
Pacific fleet at San Francisco, Sep
TENDER Is.
While the itinerary still is incom-
plete it vas regarded as almost cer-
tain that the President would speak
at Sioux City, Iowa, Minneapolis or
st. Paul, Mimi, and Bismarck, N. d.
Secretary Tumulty said the tour
would occupy 25 days IF the Presi-
dent can stand it."
The President was represented as
regarding it more pressing than ever
that he should make the trip and it
was explained that he would not nec-
essarily wait for the peace treaty to
be reported to the senate by the for
eign relations committee.
While the President wishes to start
on his tour very soon there are va
rfous elements that must be consid-
cred including the necessary
ments for his reception in the cities
to be visited and his desire to greet
General Pershing when he arrives in
New York next week.
Secretary Tumulty said the Presi-
dent felt the speechmaking tour was
of greater Importance and that pos
sibly he would greet General Pershing
somewhere in the West.

roads Provides for Federal
Company.

Factors" Of Both Government and
Private owncrshIp-Lenfoot
Introduces Bill.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Railroad re-
organization under a plan combining
the most desirable factors" of both
government and private ownership

pany with broad powers including emf
nent domain to take over existing
transportation facilities, SO as to pro-
vide a Single national highway and

responsibility. including profit shar-
ing, but strikes would be Illegal.

ciple by the federal company, subject
to- approval of the Interstate Com
merce Commission; states would deal
with purely local questions, such as
communication rates, improvements
and safety precautions.

pany guaranteed by the government

change their holdings.

From present indications the French
have given up hope of prompt action
