IN GREAT TRIBUTE
Robins Pictured the Glory of
Roosevelt Here.
Spoke at High School Audi
tOrium Wednesday Night.

Raymond Robins TRANSPORTED the
memory of Col. Theodore Roosevelt
into a living. breathing entity for
more than fifteen hundred persons in
Topeka Wednesday. In two talks he
delivered tribute to the great Ameri-
can such as has never before been
heard in Topeka-he put into the
spoken word such meaning and such
beauty that it is near sacrilege to at
tempt direct quotation.
Raymond Robins in each one of his
talks-one at the Chamber of Com
merce at noon and one at the high
school auditorium in the evening
told of the early struggles of the elder
Roosevelt. He told of the puny, asth-
physical fitness thru all the trials and
punishment of the pugilists' ring; of
the struggle in the mountains and
prairies of the west, and of the long
nights when Roosevelt was storing in
his mind by reading that understand
ing of world conditions which distin-
guished him above all politicians OF
his day.
Robins told of the harsh. unmusical
voice of Roosevelt and of how thru
sheer force of personality the first
great American held enthralled the
largest crowds ever gathered to hear
an American speaker.
Robins was speaking in Topeka in
behalf of the Roosevelt memorial fund
which he pointed out was to be used
for the most part in establishing a
foundation for the perpetuation of
Roosevelt's greatest conception-the
Americanization of America.

Question Before Mon Is Whether to
Strike If Compulsory Arbitra-

Enacted.
[By Ralph F. Couch, United Press
Staff Correspondent

Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov 12-Three
hundred and seventy-five thousand
union machinists throughout the
United States were voting today on
general strike in connection with
the railroad labor situation
"The vote is returnable late this
month" said William H. Johnston
president of the International Ma
chinists' union Ballots were sent
out a month ago.
The question directly before the
men is whether they snail strike If
congress passes anti-strike and COM
pulsory arbitration now before it in
connection with settling the railroad
problem.
.If / know the machintsts, they will
hit the street the minute this legis-
lation passes-if 1t does.'
One hundred and twenty-five thou
sand of the union machinists are
employed in railroad shops. AS pro-
yided in the strike ballot instructions,
they would be the first to go out.
Later, union flachinists in all indus
tries would be called out to support
them in a sympathetic strike II
necessary.
The machinists vote is being taken
at time when members OF two OF
four great railroad brotherh oods are
comforting with Rail Director Hines
and pressing their demands for i'm
mediate wage increases to make
their earnings conform to the in
creased cost OF living. These two
brotherhoods are the trainmen and
conductors.
An answer falling far short of the
demands of these unions was given
to the committees yesterday, 1t was
learned. President w. G. Lee of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
and PresidentSL. E. Sheppard Of the
Order of Railway Conductors, were
to confer with Hines again today.
A referendum on Hines answer
will be taken by both the trainHlen
and conductors, it is expected.
Trainmen and conductors through
out the country are threatening
strike unless their demands are met.
A letter to machinists sent out with
the strike ballots reads in part.
'It is very evident from events
that with the signing Of the armis-
tice actual hostilities ceased in the
world war and labor thought that by
the signing of the declaration that
the world was made safe for democ,
racy. 1t appears that big business,
special privilege and others who are
seeking to destroy the standards Gre
ated by organized labor have looked
on this declaration as a declaration
Of war against the trade union move
ment both in the industrial field aud
in the legislative field.
Individual contracts have been
used in many instances to bring
about a condition under which our
organization could not exist. Laws
have been introduced in congress
which would seek to rob us of the
right to strike and several laws have
been introduced which nave for their
purposes what is commonly termed
compulsory arbitration"
The letter declares that propaganda
is being circulated intended to injure
the international officers
