Washington, November 2L-(Special)
The surprising result of a poll by local
correspondents Of the republican member
ship of the House and Senate is that
Gen. Leonard Wood, with the majority
party in Congress, is far stronger than
any other asprant for the presidency Of
the United States '
BY general consensus Of opinion it is
regarded as probable that Governor Low
Gen Of Illinois is the ablest man the re-
publicans have to offer 1t is also gem
orally regarded as true that Senator
johnson of California is capable of max
ing the strongest appeal to the popular
vote of the United States. For he has in
speech and action many of the character
istics of the late Theodore Roosevelt, and
everyone knows with what ease the for
mer progressive leader aroused the
masses to the highest pitch Of enthu-
Siasm.
But there is no room left for doubt that
with the republican membership OF Con-
gress, neither Lowden nor johnson stands
even a respectable chance with General
Wood. The republican, of the House
cast lie votes for Wood. There were SO
scattering votes, q of which were in
favor of Senator Watson of Indiana and
90 in favor of Senator Harding of Ohio.
The poll of the Senate showed 70 votes
for General Wood with "a votes scattered

as the republican half of Congress is
concerned, General Wood made a run

.STEAGALL DISAPPOINTED
IN RAILROAD BILL

| Washington, November 21.-(Special0
Representative Steagali of the Third Ala
bama district expresses hope that the
Senate will prepare a real railroad bill,
one in which an actual enforcement With
| out entangling alliances, between the
government ana the railroads, will be
effected, and one in which the gov
eminent will assert it's power and majesty
respecting the inclination of organized
labor to strike whenever it pleases it to
strike
The Esch bill. which the House enacted
despite the opposition of the entire Ala
bama delegation, was "wishy-washy in
| the opinion of Mr.. Stea gall, a measure in
which the committee which framed it en-
deavored to appease the railroads on the
| one hand and the labor unions on the
other. Mr.. Steagall more vigorously
| than any other member of the House,
proceeded against the alleged inclination
! of the bill to turn over the treasury of
the United States, through guarantees of
operating expenses and a fair return on
| investment to the railroads. And more
| vigorously than any other member he
paid his respects to the alleged lack of
| punch in the bill insofar as it affects
union labor.
| In this connection he said "The time
has come when Congress should assert
| the power of law in the settlement of all
| disputes between all citizens or classes.
| Whether we meet it now or postpone 1t,
| the time is not far distant when we will
be compelled to face the issue. We must
| substitute a reign of law for an appeal
| to force. I believe this great govern
ment is capable of doing justice in dis
putes between empioye and employer
without leaving them to methods that
must disregard millions of the disinter-
ested citizens and the possible starvation
of helpless women and children whose
very lives depend on the undisturbed
| processes of production and transporta-
ton. To deny this is 70 acknowledge our
| impotency-to confess our scheme of gov
eminent an ignoble failure.
THE time has come when all men, all
employees and employers must intrust
their disputes to constituted legal au-
thority, to submit their difficulties to
instrumentalites set up by law. In my
judgment it is most unfortunate and.
unwise that men who toll are taught not
to trust their cause to the sense of
justice of the American people as ex-
pressed through the law of the land"

away race of the affair In effect, he
had no opponent. Correspondents who
conducted the poll were nonplussed with
surprise
1t is said that the strength that Wood
showed before Congress he shows also
when republican governors. republican
national committeeman, chairmen of
state committees and editors of repub-
lican newspapers are concerned.
There is another interesting fact con-
nected with the candidacy of General
Wood-for his aspirations now assur :
the properties of a candidacy In ali
probability he will be the first repub-
lican to receive nomination. He is a
native of New Hampshire and New
Hampshire viii elect delegation in
structed for General Wood
In explanation of General Wood s
strength, his friends point to the fact,
first, that he more nearly typifies Roose-
Welt than any other man, even including
Senator johnson, who aspires to put on
the shoes of the former President In
the second place, General Wood in the
Spanish war proved himself to be a good
soldier. He displayed executive ability.
1t is claimed, when he was governor of
Cuba, following the war between this
country and Spain A third reason for his
popularity is said to be the opposition
Of the administration to giving him a
command across the seas during the war
with Germany. fourth reason is sa id
to be the fact that he made good in
several difficult assignments made by
the administration
His friends claim that during the war
with Germany he was successful in
arousing the spirit of Americanism wher-
ever he was stationed, and that he scored
heavily in preparing contingents in va
rious sections of the country for foreign
duty. 1t is pointed out, also. that in his
recent assignment, quelling the rioting
in Omaha, he conducted himself with such
tact and diplomacy and withal such force
that he indelibly impressed himself on
the imagination of the people.
So Wood is regarded as the strongest
republican candidate TODAY

many today announced there was not
much change at its plants in the Pitts
burgh district nor in the Cleveland
and Chicago fields. Some departments
at its works in the Chicago district will
make efforts to resume tomorrow.
The Homestead, Braddock, Rankin
and Duuuesne plants of the Carnegie
Steel Company were reported to be
operating today with more men than
on any day since the strike started.
In Braddock it was said the Edgar
Thomson plant, subsidiary of the
United States Steel Corporation. was
hiring new men. This is said to be the
Erst attempt in this district of large
plant engaging new men to take the
places of strikers.
Company reports from Sharon, Far
rell and New Castle declared that con-
ditions are improving from the en-
ployers' viewpoint. In New Castle steel
company officials claim the number of
strikers has been reduced from 5000 to
1900. These figures are disputed at
strike headquarters here, where it is
contended the men at New Castle are
standing firmly.
Reports Still Conflict
Conflicting reports regarding the
Laughlin Steel Company in Pitts
burgh were again given out today
The strikers are persistent in theil
claims of steady defections from thu
works. The company pointed out thai
the plant is in operation and that it il
