THE PRESIDENT AND THE SHOP.

President Wilson has earned the
right to speak to the railroad shop
men as a friend. From that point OF
vantage he proffered them caution
and advice which were none the less
friendly because solemn in tone, and
which, in their own interest and for
the behoof of the entire nation, It Is
hoped they will accept In like Apirit.
The President reminded the shop
men that the cost OF living has reach
ed its peak and that It's trend may
hereafter be expected to be downward
and Is certain to fall mnch lower 30
soon as the treaty Of peace has been
ratified. Until after that ratification
has been accomplished and all bust
ness and industry Is put upon sure
footing, President Wilson explained,
increases Of wages dictated BY the
maximum costs Of the moment would
defeat the campaign which the gov
eminent Il now conducting for lower
prices; would advance the rates for
transportation and in that way en-
nance every charge against produce
tion and distributor. These increas-
es. Of wages to meet temporary sit-
|uation would be permanent and their
effects on the cost Of living would b
equally lasting.
Not only the shopment, but AL
workers and employers-every man

PRESIDENT WILSON
A VERY SICK MAN.
His Condition Reported Less
Favorable
NEuRoLOGIs1 is CALLED
All Agree That Absolute Rest For
Some Time Is Essential To The
Presidents Complete Re-
covery.

Washington. Wilson is
"a very sick man"
The following bulletin was issued by
DIR. Grayson
The President lis very sick man.
His condition is less favorable and
he has remained in bed throughout
the day.
After consultation with DR.. F. X.
Dercum, of Philadelphia; Drs. Sterling
Rufin and e. r. Stitt, of Washington,
all of whom agreed as to his condition,
it was determined that absolute rest is
essential for some time"
DR.. Grayson decided to call in DR..
Dercum, and during the week has con-
suited two naval doctors, Rear-Ad-
miral E. R. Stitt, head of the Naval
Medical School, and Capt. John B.
Dennis, director of the Naval Dis
pensary in Washington. DR.. Dercum
arrived from Philadelphia and went
direct to the White House, where he
and DIR. Grayson were joined by Drs.
Stitt and Rufin. After spending some
time with the President, the four ply
sicians discussed the patients condi-
ton, but departed without issuing any
statement.
DR.. Dercum returned to Philadel-
phia, Secretary Tumulty announced.
After the consultation it developed
that the physicians called in by DR..
Grayson had agreed entirely with his
diagnosis of the Presidents ailment,
and approved the course of treatment
decided upon by him.

COUNCIL TO SETTLE.
LABOR DISPUTES
Question will be Among First
at Conference
SECRETARY WILSON'S PLAN
He May Submit Proposal For Abrl-
tration Awards, Backed BY
Federal lnjunc-
ton.

Washington for the es-
adjustment Of council for settlement
of industrial disputes, replacing the
recently dissolved War Labor Board,
pcSbably will be one of the first sub
jects brought up for discussion at the
labor and industrial conference called
by President Wilson to meet here.
Secretary Wilson has drawn up q
tentative program for the conference,
but the question of whether the meet
ing will be open to representatives of
the press has not been decided. 1t was
said by those making arrangements
for, the meeting that the question OF
publicity probably would be left to de-
cision of the conference. A suggestion
has been made that newspaper men
not be admitted to the conference room
but that such parts of the proceedings
as the conference decided to make pub
lie be given the press as the confer
ence proceeds.
If President Wilson is unable to open
the conference as planned it is not
known by officials here who the presid-
ing officer will be, although it was con-
sidered likely that the President would
designate some one to act for him. Sec
rotary Wilson, to whom the President
left the detailed arrangements for the
meeting when he left on his speaking
trip, it was said, prefers not to act
as presiding officer but rather to take
part in the discussions as member of
the conference.
Secretary Wilson, it was said by sew
eral officials, may submit proposal for
arbitration boards, as he is known to
look with favor on plan providing for
district boards Of arbitration, the
awards of which would be put in force
by the issue of an injunction by the
Federal Court Of the district restrain
ing employers who are parties to the
dispute in question from paying wages
other than provided for in the award.
This plan would preserve the right
Of the men to strike, but is expected to
take away the incentive to strike, as
employers would be restrained by
court decree from paying higher wages
than the sum fixed as just by the dis
trict boards.
Some means of removing causes of
dispute and of comforting larger de-
gree of participation by labor in the
management of industry along the lines
of the Whitley councils in England
probably will be discussed, it was said.
Whitley councils, so-called after the
Scotch manufacturer and member Of
the British Ministry of Reconstruction
Committee, who proposed them, have
been established in more than so i'm
portant British industries. There is
separate Joint Standing Industrial
Council, as they are officially named,
for each industry accepting the plan
In addition to the national council, dis
trict and local boards are created to
handle problams arising within their
jurisdiction. Both employers and work
ers are represented. on the boards,
which deal with the general policy of
the factory, the efficiency of the plant
and similar matters, as well as with
possible sources of friction between cap
ital and labor.

without debate. Gustav Noske, min
lister of defense, told the Committee

execution of the peace treaty and
1,4S9,000 marks for the army. Herr

tions relate to Boston and Buffalo,
where he is due Sunday and Mon

earnest desire to proceed to Wash

not permit him to see Mr.. Wilson.
His Majesty has decided that,
owing to the condition of health
of the President, he does not care
to go to a place of amusement and
consequently has Cancelled his en-

SOLDIER. FLOGGED

ages And Wires Demand For Re-
lease Of Soldier Who Had
Been Carried Away.

Observation-Disclosures General VIM.
S. Graves, commander of American
forces in Siberia, has demanded an
apology from General Rozanoff, IN
command Of Russian troops in Pria-
muir Province, for the arrest Of Capt.
L. P. Johnson, of the 9th Regiment
and Corporal Benjamin Sporting, OF
the 31st, and the 1ogging of the latter
by Cossacks commanded by General
Kalmikoff. An investigation of the
conduct of Japanese officer at Imam,
the place where the arrests took place,
has also been begun by the japanese
high command. The incident which
occurred September 5, is considered
one of the most serious since the
Allies landed in Siberia.
The two Americans, in uniforms and
on official business, went to Imam, a
town ITO miles north of this city, on
the section Of the railroad guarded
by Chinese troops, passports being un-
necessary by agreement between the
Allies. While they were at a hotel
there detachment of Cossacks arrest
ed the Americans, claiming they were
not provided with Identification papers.
Captain Johns managed to escape, and,
catching a moving train, went to
Spasske, where he reported to the
American officer in command. A de-
tachment of $50 Americans from the
9th Regiment at once entrained and
went to Imam to effect Sperling's re-
lease, and on arriving there took three
Cossacks as hostages.
They found General Kalmikoffs
men entrenched near the station and
were prepared to use force against
them, when Japanese major inter-
coded for the Cossacks, stating, it is
alleged, that in the event of hostili-
ties between the Americans and Cos
sacks, the Japanese troops at Imam
would side with the latter. He at
last told the Americans that Sporting
had been taken to Khaborovsk, where
General Kalmikoff has his headquar-
tiers. A Geographic demand for Sper-
ling was sent to Khbaorovsk and a
reply was received that he would be
released at once. The Americans then
returned to Spasske, taking their host
ages with them.
A preliminary investigation of the
incident shows, 1t is said, that Sper-
ling was flogged-a punishment that
is usually melted out to recalcitrant
Cossack. General Kalmikoff, who is
considered by Americans here as a
siberian Villa" has, with his band,
been a constant source of trouble, it
is charged, his raids being marked
by cruelties and atrocities. He was
recently appointed military comman-
der of the Khaborovsk district by
General Rozanoff and it is alleged
this has brought about an increase
in his activities.
