CONGRESS TO CUT CLAUSE.

washington, Dec. ZS.-lue dILl-
tude of organized railway employees
toward the anti-strike provision of
the Cummins railroad bill will be
formally stated in declaration OF
principles to be drafted by the heads
of all the brotherhoods at a confer
ence here today with President Com
pers Of the American Federation OF
Labor.
Labor leaders declared that moth
ing drastic was to be expected but
the general view among organized
workers was that the affiliated trades
would stand Ivy railway machinists'
. union which voted to quit work If
congress enacted the anti-strike pro-
vision.
congressman expressed the opinion,
however, that the house never would
accept the bill as it come from the
senate and that even if it should
pass, President Wilson would veto it.
Veto Possibilities Seen.
The possibility of veto has been
given serious consideration by men,
, bers of congress, who realize the
necessity of enacting proper legisla-
tion before the roads are handed back
to their owners March 1. Labor lead
ers called attention to this statement
by the president in his message to
congress four weeks ago.
1.-The right of individuals to strike
is inviolate and ought not to be in
terfered with by any process of gov
ernment, but there is predominant
right of the government to protect
all of it's people and to assert its
power and majesty against the chal-
lenge of any class"
Two Conflicting interpretations.
This one sentence was variously in
terpreted-by brotherhood officers as
a virtual announcement by the presi-
dent that he would not sign bill
denying the right to strickland by
Senator Cummins and others as no
tice by the president that even if
the right to strike was inviolate, the
rights of the public stood over and
above it.
Regardless Of what action might
be taken by the brotherhoods the be-
lief prevailed in congressional circles
that when senate and house confer
ences got through with the Cummins
and Esch bills, no vestige Of the anti
strike section would remain.

ANOTHER FORD RUMoR
Ford Tractors To Be Built In Penns
Grove. Story Rings Right

F. B. Norman, Wilmington agent
for the Ford car, has received the fol
lowing interesting communication
from Detroit, relative to the proposed
expansion of the Ford Company's in
terests:
Ford will dot the world with plants
when the peace is signed. Immediate
steps will be taken for the building OF
assembly plants and factories in many
Of the foreign nations. In the larger
countries there will be factories and
in the smaller countries, such as Den
mark, Spain and Portugal, assembly
plants with an average capacity of
100 per day. The assembly plants will
be the first constructed and will be-
come the clearing houses for the parts
supplied to them from the Detroit and
Manchester, England, factories.
Cadiz and Copenhagen have al
ready been decided upon as cities
where assembly plants will be erect
ed, each to cost approximately $780,
900, and by this system the Ford in
fesests expect to be able to -place on
the European market at least half a
million cars annually. 1t is but a

Ford officials will not deny that The
present sites decided upon for tractor
plants are Troy, N. Y, and Penns
Grove, N. J., and that the Troy plant
will also manufacture the Standard
Ford.
The Ford plant figures obtained
show that from April % to May 6 in
elusive 21,761 cars were manufacture
ed, being a daily average of 2,720.
The actual; number of untitled orders
April 20 was 80,283, which was in
creased to 88,528 on May 8.
Ford officials are confident that be-
ginning on June /, the daily average
output of cars will be 1000, a figure
they are now striving for, and that the
number for the present year will ex-
coed 100000. To produce this en-
ormous output of cars requires the
services of approximately 10000 men,

A New Memorial Day Lesson

washington, May 2y-President Wilson has cabed from
Paris the following Memorial Day message to the American
people:
MY fellow c%ountrynen:
Memorial Day wears this year an added significance and |
wish, if only by a message, to take part with you in its observation
and in expressing the sentiments which it inevitably suggests. In
observing the day we commemorate not only the reunion of our
own country but also now the liberation of the world from one of
the most serious dangers to which free government and the free
life of men were ever exposed. We have buried the gallant and
now immortal men who died III this great war of liberation with a
new sense of conservation.
Our thoughts and purpose now are consecrated to the main
tenance of the liberty of the world and of the union of its people in
a single conradeship of liberty and of right. 1t was for this that
our men conscientiously offered their lives. They came to the field
of battle with the high spirit and pure heart of crusaders. We
must never forget the duty that their sacrifice has laid upon US of
fulfilling their hopes and their purpose to the utmost. This, it
seems to me, is the impressive lesson and the inspiring mandate
of the day.
