 FOR "DIRECT ACTION"
Proposed Legislation, Although Alp. plying Only to Railroad Men, Is Reason for Call for Fedora
 tion Conference.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Organi=a a labor intends to preserve the right to strike officials of the American warning that passage in the congress of the anti-strike legislation, propos- ed in the pending railroad bill, would result in an immediate gen. eral walkout over the country. William H. Johnston, president of the international association of ma chinists, second largest union affiliat- ed with the federation, said "direct action" might be resorted to if all other means of adyacning the inter- ests of the unions failed He refer red particularly to what he termed the efforts of employers to shut out unions by binding their workers with individual contracts. MT. Johnston announced that with the passage of the anti-strike legislation he would order immediately a vote on strike of 35O,OOO members of his association, and predicted that the heads of the other 112 interna- tional unions in the American Fed eration of Labor would take similar dCCloH. OIlleI ulloH oll lCldlo az ieeu with this view.
 While the legislation against strikes now pending in congress ap- plies solely to railroad workersl many of whom are not affiliated with the federation, it was said today that this legislation was one of the principal reasons why the heads of the unions in the federation were to be summoned here for a confer ence in the near future.
 Officials of the four railroad brotherhoods conferred today with Samuel Gompers, president, and oth- CT officers of the federation. It has been proposed that the cooperation of the brotherhoods be enlisted in the general fight now being waged for recognition of the principle of collective bargaining and representa- tion by the chosen spokesmen of la bor.
 Charles s. Barrett, president of the national farmers union and one of the farmers representatives in the national industrial coference here, issued an appeal today to the farmers to "be prepared to aid our OCAoNCA COuACAy III HcI PICocHC HoOL of need"
 "Menaced by entrenched privilege on the one hand and a perilous red propaganda of the other." said Mr. Barrett, "the nation is facing the most dangerous situation since the civil war" Although revelling in plenty, though business was never more plentiful, though employment wa snever more general, the country is sitting on powder magazine which threatens at any moment to explode, bringing devasttation and untold suffering in its train.
 ''In this crisis in the nation. history, the farmer must get to thu helm and he must stay at the helm until the ship of state is brought safely into haven of rest" -.

 The daylight saving law has had a turbulent history.
 Enacted as war measure, there was an immediate clamor for its re- peat when the war was ended. Like wise there was clamor for its con tinuance, the latter coming from clt- les and industrial centers.
 President Wilson was opposed to it's repeal But congress tracked a rider on an agricultural appropria- tion bill providing for the dayilght saving law repeal. President Will son vetoed the agricultural bill An effort was made to pass it over his veto, but it was futile. The agri- cultural bill then was passed with out the rider and a new bill provld- ing solely for the repeal of the day light saving law was passed. Fms, too, met an executive disapproval, but congress then passed it over the presidents veto the bill providing for abolition of the daylight saving plan at 2 a, m,. October 26.

Copenhagen, Oct. 25.-The entire staff of Leon Trotzky, Bolsheviki minister of war and marine of Rus sia, has been captured at Tsarskoe- Selo, according to a Reval dispatch to the National Tindende. Trotzky him self escaped by clinging to railroad car and later fleeing from the scene in an automobile. Troops of the northwestern Russian army pursued the minister and fired upon his car, but Trotzky succeeded in reaching Petrograd.
 The left flank of General Yuden- itch's army is reported to be under fire from the Bolshevik dreadnought Poltava, which is lying in the Neva river, in sight of the limits of Petro- grad and shooting ever the house tops.
 Danger Driven Back.
 London, Oct 24.-Leon Trotzky. the Bolshevik minister of war and marine of Russia, in describing the soviet counter offensive and capture of Pavlosk, south of Petrograd and the repulse of anti-Bolshevik forces in the Pskov sector, says:
 "The danger hanging over Petro. grad has been driven back, but not yet definitely removed" according to a wireless dispatch received here from Moscow.
 Advance Halted.
 London, Oct. 25.-Rallying under the command of Leon Trotzky, Bol- shevik minister of war and marine, troops of the Russian soviet gov ernment have savagely attacked the lines of the Russian northwestern. army and have succeeded in parry ing for the moment at least, the thrust of the latter against Petro- grad, according to reports reaching this city. Tsarskoe-Selo and Paw lovsk, south of Petrograd, have been recaptured from the forces of Gen. eral Yudenitch, it is claimed, and the advance of the Bolsheviki con- tinues.
 South of Moscow, where General Denikine's advance has menaced to certain degree the hold of the Bolsheviki on the ancient city of the Cars, fighting is going on, but nothing as to the results obtained has been learned. Reports indicate however, consideration by the soviet leaders of plan to withdraw all Bol- shevik troops in Turkestan and to abandon Moscow. Serbian forces are on their way to Odessa to assist Gen. eral Denikine in his campaign.
 Tabolsk, western Siberia, is said to have been captured from the Kolchak army hv the Bolsheviki. This report, if confirmed, would indicate an ad- vance of the soviet army in that sector as last reports showed them quite distance to the eastward of Tobo!zk.
