WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 20.
President Wilson yesterday re-
fused to grant the additional pay
demanded by the railroad shopmen
throughout the country.
Wilson's reasons were that in
creased cost of living must be stay
ed. normal prices and production
conditions restored by hating
wage demands generally.
The next step of the railway shopmen
in their drive for sweeping wage in
creases has not been decided upon yet.
Whether the strike vote of the 100000
shopn1en of the country was to be final
or whether the men, in response 10 the
request of President Wilson. would be
asked to vote upon the acceptance Or re
lection of the increase amounting
four cents an hour. announced by the
railroad administration yesterday. was
the question before the labor leaders
Bert NJ. Jewell. head of the railway
employees department Of the American
Federation of Labor said that decision
would be reached some time today bur
failed TO forecast what that decision
would be.
REPORT DIVIDED SENTIMENT.

dent when they were told that large
wage increases would only lift the gen
eral cost OF living and would utterly
crush the governments campaign
against prohteers. the committee of 100

were TO be continued today until finai
decision had been reached.
1t was reported that a sharp division
of sentiment exists among the officials

of the situation, Whiting argues
that this seasons design leaves little
or nothing to tax. No adequate area
for the revenue stamp presents itself.
Despite this limitation, he also claims
that bathing suits will still be high
enough without the 10 per cent
stamp added. He has consulted his
attorney, who is also on occasions ~
the beaches. The attorney agrees
that Williams amendment Is entire
ly irrelevant, superduous and prob
ably unconstitutional. Together they
have raised an objection suficient to
stay Williams decree until he can
get a ruling from the United States
treasury department as to whether =
bathing suit is sportively taxable for
war purposes.
Meanwhile, in making the matter
somewhat of a local political issue.
Manager Whiting has aroused the
activities. of one faction which con.
tends that blanket form Of bathing
suit is what is actually needed. His
supporters retort to the effect that
this suggestion comes from conscien-
tious objectors whose economic rea-
sons are not all political.-Tacoms

Ia compulsory extension Of bathing
suits that probably will be resented
clear along the splashing summer
coast line from Puget Sound to Ken
neybunkport, Ne. Williams wants
to attach 10 per cent tax on each
one on the theory that bathing suits
are sporting goods. He has served
notice to that effect ON the Olympia
Knitting mills.
Now Manager H. L. Whiting of

aquatic merit and renown. He has

Bathing suits may be classei with

morally another of various methods

WASHINGTON.-It would be pre-
mature to say that opposition in the
senate to the league of nations has
collapsed, but it Is evident that II
has materially weakened and has
altogether lost its defiant and uncom.
promising attitude.
Much will depend upon the word
1ng of the amended text, which Pres
ident Wilson says will be published
almost Immediately"
Meanwhile. he was 50 pleased with
the form and content of the changes
proposed by Mr.. Taft that he cabled
his thanks to that gentleman, and has
been using all his influence to have
the changes made a part of the
amended document.
Covers Lodges Objections.
They cover most of the objections
voiced by Senator Lodge in his debate
with President Lowell of Harvard,
and reducing league opposition very
largely to such irreconciliables as
Senators Borah, Reed and Poindex-
ter, who have decided that they will
aOntinue to live in a world that has
bassed away.
The objecting senators did not
want the league amended in Paris.
They wanted to insert the amend
ments in the senate, after the treaty

responsible for its defeat, on the pre-
taxi that he had failed to seek their
''advice" before 1t was framed.

ground to stand on when he offered

amendments covering their objections
and Mr.. Wilson has completed their
discontinue by making the amend
ments his own.
Mistake Of Critics..
The mistake of these senatorial
critics was in assuming that the ten
tative draft was the final draft, and
they made 1t in spite of the presi-
dents statement to the peace confer.
ence, February IA, that it would
doubtless be necessary to modify it.
II these critics had not been con-
sumed with desire to play politics,
they would not have jumped to the
conclusion that amendments would
not be in order.
England and France knew the sit
uation. and their criticisms were
helpful, as those of Mr.. Taft and
President Lowell have been.
Criticism in the senate might also
have been helpful If presidential
campaign were not almost at hand.
"A tremendous Republican victory
has been won at Paris" says q prom
inent Republican newspaper in New
York, referring to the amendments,
which statement indicates the use
senate Republicans will make of
them.
The main thing, however. is that a
trail has been blazed which the Re-
publican party will be able to follow
on it's way to league support. While
doing that it will claim that but for
its watchfulness and patriotism all
would have been lost.
That is now the strategical line to

At the Presbyterian church last
Friday night Mr.. Donald A. Lowrie,
recently general secretary of the Y.
M. c. A., at Archangel, Russia, gave
most interesting address on "Some
Permanent Factors in the Russians
Situation" Mr.. Lowrie spoke of the
intellectual and social condition of the
people in Russia and their great
friendship toward America. Sixty per
cent, he said, cannot read or write.
Eighty per cent are in agricultural
pursuits, but are handicapped by lack
of up to date tools and machinery
There is great dearth of factories
and manufactured articles must be
used over and over again, sold and re-
sol, till all worn out. Russia, accord,
ing to Mr.. Lowrie, has a great Chris.
tian history and the old Eastern, OF
Russian church, has had an unbroker
history longer than the church of any
other land. This great body stands
for doctrine and devotion and Russia
has regarded itself as Christian for {
thousand years. Mr.. Lowrie spoke op
timistically with reference to thu
church as a factor in the present stu
alton. The Bolshevik press, which wa
so full of anti-ally propaganda, hat
not for months a word to say agains
America, which the Russians regar,
as their friend. Mr.. Lowrie said w
owe great debt to Russia for stem
ming the tide of the "golden horde
which many years ago swept over ST
; IBERIA and threatened to overcom
Europe. Then we all know how Rus
sia saved Paris in the early days 0
the war by hammering at the easter
gates of Germany, though she wa
very poorly equipped for war. "What
