THREE RECENT EXAMPLES

u SO lidppSuS tHdI within a lew years in the labor organization reflect the thought which this able man expressed. Briefly stated he said that it seemed 10 nm that first of all Congress should consider the important questions now pressing for answer from the economic three examples of this method of recon cling the needs of those who work with thelr hands with the necessities Of those Who manage corporations are now avail able Tor those who are to undertake to bring about q perfect understanding be- tween labor and so-called capital The first of these examples is furnished by the bituminus coal operators and em-
 ployees. Formerly constant friction, fre- quent strikes and various troubles greatly impaired this industry.
 Finally the suggestion was made that an organization be perfected whose mem bership was to consist of the owners of the bituminus mines, the railroads which transported the coal and the miners them selves. Thus a board, was constituted which fairly we'll represented the diff
 ferent factors necessary for the success
 ful operation of this industry. It was ! success from the start. Not again have
 there been serious labor difficulties in the bituminus coal fields and at the time
 of the anthracite coal strike when the
 bituminus organizations were urged to strike In sympathy the request was de- clined because the bitumnus miners were under contract and could not strike without violating that contract.
 J D. ROCKEFELLER JR.'S PLAN
 Apparently the plan worked out by John D. Rockefeller, Jr, whereby the employees in the great Colorado corporation and the employees can meet upon com mon ground, discuss differences if any arise, SO that agreement can be reached has established in Colorado new satis- factory relation between labor and capi- tai.
 The latest of these examples Is fur nished by the action nf Walter Clarke Teagle and his associates of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. A board or committee has been esta blished in which the representatives of the workingmer have membership. To this committee all matters of common interest can De re- ferred and have already been referred
 with the result that differences have been satisfactorily adjusted, the working men feeling that they have their appro- priate place in the councils of the com pany and the employers discovering that at last content prevails among their em- ployees.
 Very likely something of this kind will be suggested and in fact adopted at the
 important conference which is to take
 place at Washington in October justify ing the hope that there may follow that
 there may follow that meeting results which will so far towards ending the un-
 rest of labor and the danger that lies in strikes and the falling off of produc- tion.

would, of course, have altered the whole situation. and would have had the greatest weight in the formation of our opinions. The Chancellor's Judgment as to sour military position was the same as our own.
 While we felt compelled resolutely to draw the inevitable and serious infer ence, and act on it, the Chancellor. as his nature was, remained undecided. but came to such conclusions as: The decision to embark on the campaign depends on the effects which are to be expected from it." and eff the military authorities regard it as essential, I am not in a position to withstand them,' and if success beckons. we must take the step"
 However. with a full sense of his political responsibility the Chancellor did advise the adoptfoA of the cam paign, as did His Majesty's other ad- visers. The Emperor fell in with their views, and commanded that the cam paign should open on the 1st of Feb- ruary; he directed, however, that time the blockade area to leave it, and to neutral vessels on their way to the area to complete their voyages.
 The Chancellor then prepared, in CO., operation with the Chief of the Naval staff, the notes to neutral powers as to the declaration Of the blockade area around England. along the west coast of France and in the Mediterranean. These were to be delivered on the 31st January.
 The Chief of the Naval Staff gave the detailed instructions for opera tfOns in the blockade area, making va- rious concessions to the wishcs of the Foreign Office in order to lesson the danger of n rupture with America. We were, of course. quite in accord with this.
 The supreme army command on it's side took certain precautionary meas ures in the Northern Army district. in order to be ready for all eventuali- ties. although the Chancellor, had no anxiety as to the attitude of Holland and Denmark
 The construction If defensive posi- tions in Northern Schleswic hal made good progress, and there was no need to do more than to reinforce the from tier guard With few cavalry. An army corps staff wss moved tne..e temporarily in order to accustom itself to local conditions. On our Dutch frontier the frontier troops were group ed in divisional formation and placed under an army corps staff that was stationed al Muenster.
 The construction of defensive works was here much in arrears Not too much had been done, either, on the

Further defensive measures were merely worked out on paper, and the troops releascI from tne operations in Roumania were to carry them out only if necessarily arose, and were otherwise to be employed on the western front. They were in tho first instance moved into Belgium.

abilities to bear, and we had ours. In a telegram to von Bethmann the field marshal made his position clear in the following words
 Your excellency as chancellor can, 'of course. claim the sole responsihil-
 ity. but l must clearly work, with
 all my strength and with full sense
 of my responsibility, for the victor
 iouS end of the war; to secure that,
 everything is done which I hold as
 proper for the achievement of that
 end.
 That was the right and duty of the su- preme army command, just as it was the right and duty of the chancellor, in this difficult and momentous question. to support his own opinion with all the prestige of his high office. If there were differences of opinion, the decision lay with his majesty.
 As it seemed probable that the answer of the entente. both to our offer of peace and to Wilson's proposal for intervention, would be refusal, the chancellor came to Pless to discuss the question as early as the end of December, but nothing definite was then decided.
 The actual decision was arrived at on January g, after the receipt of the an- swer to our peace offer and in the cer- tainty that like reply would be given to President Wilson. at meeting presided over by his majesty. The chief of the naval staff expressed the views stated above; he advised that the campaign would be decisive in a few months and urged it's adoption. The field marshal reported our views of the situation, and also advised its adoption.
 The chancellor stated the effect that the use of this weapon might have upon neu- trals, and in particular upon the United States. He thought it possible, and in- deed probable, that the United States would enter the war. and anticipated diff faculties with regard to the provisioning of Belgium by the entente. He regard ed our offer of peace as having failed; he saw no other possibility of achieving peace. not even by a new attempt on the part of Wilson (the note of December IS had already failed); he had no hope of a separate peace; and he did not antici- pate any improvement in our position through the collapse of one of our enemies such as subsequently, happened in the case of Russia.

 In estimating the economic effects of the various forms of submarine warfare we were compelled to rely on the judgment of the chief of the naval staff and of the chancellor. The s,i- preme army command was in constant communication with both these author. itieS on the whole matter, and in par- ucular on the question of the expedi- ency of adopting unrestricted warfare
 After our victories in Rumania, the supreme army command did not cx- pect that either Holland or Denmark would enter the war against us. It was, however, unwrSe to take any risks The unrestr4 4cted campaigu could obviously not be instituted be- fore the Rumanian campaign was at an end and our troops there had re- turned home and arrived on the west ern and eastern fronts. It was soon clear that this would not be the case before the beginning of February.
 It also seemed plain that We should have to hold our hands to see whether any success would be achieved by any intervention by President Wilson, on the lines on which our government had invited it in September, or by our own offer of peace. If the end of the war should appear to be in sight, subma- rine warfare on the lines proposed would be unnecessary. There was really no room for doubt. The result or our efforts for peace would he sure to be known by the end of December or early in January. and this too seem ed to point to the beginning of Febru- ary as the date for opening the unres- tricted campaign.

Andre Tardieu of the French Chamber of Deputies, former head of the French high commission in America, and who is per sistently mentioned in French political gossip as a successor to Clemenceau, probably would represent France. Lord Robert Cecil is regarded as certain to be one of the British delegates.
 Meanwhile, delegates from all over the world have been making tentative ar engagements to come to Washington in October, on the basis of the first an nouncements, and they are now waiting to hear of a definite meeting time. Many delegates, particularly from the far west, who have thousands of miles to travel will require notice ranging from three to five weeks.

CALCULATED AMERICAS WAR
 POWER

The government had b. now loss it's carrier anxiety as to the attitude of Holland and Denmark and none was felt as to Switzerland. Spain Sweden or Norway. On the other hand, it thought is very probable that the United states would join in the war against us.
 The supreme army command had to take into account, in dealing with the military situation, the views thus ex- pressed in the responsible quarters. It would involve an addition to the armed forces of the Entente of five pr six di- visions in the first year after America entered the war and later on, if the submarine war did not have 8 decisive effect, serious, indeed vital, increase in the strength of the enemy.
 1t could not be doubted that Amer lea. if she came into the war. would arm herself in the same way that Eng land had done, nnd that the Entente would lead the United States from one energetic step to another. | had, how ever. no serious fear as to any increased output of munitions in the states, as they were already working with all their might for the Entente.

Southeast Would Be Better Off If They Had Never Raised a Bale, Declares
 Georgia Senator

New Orleans. September S.-Deciar- ing the southeastern states would to- day be in a vastly more prosperous condition if they had never raised Q bale of cotton, Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, in an address late today be- fore the meeting of cotton growers factors and bankers, urged the neces- sity of holding cotton until the de- mand created satisfactory price

You must stand together, col lectively organized by counties, and hold your cotton until It brings you price that will compensate for the labor put into it's culture The cotton farmer should during the coming ~sea- son receive at least as high a price for bis cotton as that at which cot- ton has sold at any time during the past 12 months
 He advised farmers to keep new cot ton off the market entirely during tober on sell slowly, only as manufac- turerS need it.
 ''In the meantime" he said, "while gradually selling your cotton. plant food stuffs and raise cattle and hogs Let the world understand that you will meet the situation until next fall, independent and owning your cotton"
 He indorsed the cooperative prinei- ples of the American Cotton associa- tion and referred to the cotton ques- tion as national. A minimum price recomm endation will be submitted to the meeting tomorrow

Charles Olson on July 23. AS re- suit of his confession, at the request of the county attorneys office, bench warrant was issued and Mang- ham was rearrested and brought into court, where his bail was raised from S750 to S1 1,000.
 In the plot, Sessum confessed he had connived with Mangham and an unknown person to arrest MT. and Mrs. Hubbard and Olson, put the liquor, seven cases, on a truck and start for the city from the University district. Half way to the police sta tion, he confessed, he got out and took the Hubbards and Olson with him, while Mangham, as arranged, es- capped with the liquor. He then turn ed his prisoners loose and told them to keep quiet This took place on July 21.
 On the night of July 23 the Hub bards and olson were arrested by deputy sheriffs while, it is alleged, they were holding a whiskey party on the lawn in front of the house in the University district. The arrest brought out the story of the opera tions of Sessum, up to that time con- cealed.

OU|zz AUTHOR
 OF TR|PARTITE
 RAILROAD PLAN

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-All day long, from a witness chair before the house interstate commerce committee, Glenn E. Plumb, counsel for the rail- road brotherhoods and author of or ganized labor's plan for tri-partite control of the railroads, responded to- day to sharp questioning from the semi-circle of committee members who called on him to explain every phase of the labor bill.
 Through it all, MT. Plumb clung steadfastly to the assertion that the railroad unions aimed "to eliminate the motive of operation for profit, and substitute the motive of opera tion for service" to which he added corollary that "it means democracy in industry, without which democracy in politics is a mere shell and sham"
 Gravely Plumb talked of revolutions as an alternative in case the adop- tion of some such plan" was not obtained by political action through congress. and said that was the de- termination of the masses of men whom he represented, though I hope never 10 live to see the day"
 The income of the Plumb Plan League, organized to forward the labor bills passage, he said was 'in the neighborhood of S100,000 or less than $125 900 annually now" though only organized in July. He intimated that its income shortly would be $5O0,000 and implied that it might run up to five or six millions.
 All of it, he said, was coming from brotherhood members.
 "The situation is that our men be- lieve they have come to new day" Plumb told the committee. "They have spent their money and their lives to secure liberty, and have now found that without liberty and dem- ocracy in industry they have only the shell of liberty to live. We intend to get it lawfully, and through the con- stitution by the ballot"

JEROME YOUTHS REAPING
 HARVEST BY FORGERY

JEROME, Aug. S.-Jerome's youth full forgers who recently victimized local merchants with the aid of stolen checks from the steam shovel department of the United Verde mine, are still cashing in on their crude work. Last evening one of these checks made out to one Albert E. Anderson for $76.34 was received by Q local bank.
 The check was cashed in AlhanJ bra, California, Thursday afternoon, which indicates, in the opinion of the local authorities, that the crim- inals are making a leisurely tour or the Pacific coast, cashing checks now and then to defray expenses. They have in their possession about sixty six of the steam shovel checks, twelve of the original seventy-eight stolen, having been passed. Each check is made out for $76.34.
 The activities of the foTgerS. whose names are withheld by the au- thorities, first came to light Tuesday, July 22. when eleven checks from the steam shovel department were cashed in the city. A subsequent in vestigation revealed the fact that one of the pair had broken into the time office of the United Verde mine the Sunday night previous and stole seventy-eight blank checks which he ra0 through the protectograph.

NEW BRIDGE IS PLANNED
 TO SPAN THE CHA RIVER

PHOENIX. Aug. S.-An agreement that will doubtless be the means of providing another bridge across the Gila river and at the same time save the sum of at least S100,000 in the construction thereof, was entered in, to yesterday between the board of supervisors and the state engineer.
 By this agreement the county and the highway department agree to go 5O-5O in the sum of S6,600 the esti- mated expense of putting in the ad- ditional concrete piling necessary to carry a bridge across the dam being constructed by the Gillespie interests near Arlington.
 This plan to put theb ridge across at this point, using the dam as the footings, the part of any bridge that usually runs up the cost. It would probably cost in excess of $20O,OOO to bridge the Gila at this point along conventional lines, according to Thomas Maddock, state engineer, and the putting in of this additional pill ing will enable the dam to be used as footing, thus saving at least half the cost of the bridge.
 The putting into effect of this agreement is dependent upon the ap- proval of the plans for the bridge by i the bureau of post roads, the plans | being now in Washington.
