London, Tuesday, Sept 30.-All the
odds at the present writing are calcu-
lated in favor of the early and signal
defeat of the strike so preciptately
sprung upon the community by the
National Union of Railway Mems
Executive.
The public has little taste, in this
great emergency, for the recrimina-
tions and populations which have fol
lowed the negotiations between Prem
ier Lloyd George and Sir Eric Geddes
for the Government and l. Fl. Thomas
for the strikers. The central fact is
recognized to he that the railway men
declared a strike against the com
munity, which they threatened with
starvation There is widespread de.
termination to resist the dictates of
a minority and other unions resent
what they regard as the selfish action
of the railway men.
Secretary Thomas issued another
long statement yesterday in which he
said:
I'VE shall not be beaten. If they
presumably the Governmentl desire
to make it a challenge to labor. labor
will not finch. We will accept the
challenge but no one knows the con
sequences more than | do"
j. Bromley, Secretary of the Associ
ated Society of Locomotive Engineers
and Firemen, the rival society to the
National Union of Rai'waymen, which
struck in sympathy says his Execu
tive Committee is prepared for a long
and "everC struggle. and that the men
can hold out for six weeks
On the other hand, some labor lead
ers appear to be, to say the least un
enthusiastic and one Of the most i'm
portant of them w. A. Appleton, Sec
retary OF the General Federation of
Trade Unions, fatty describes the
railwaymen's strike as a mistake

GOVERNMENT is WARNED
, Indications Now Are That An EARLY
and Signal Defeat of Strike
Will Occur

London, Sept. Unemployment of
troops to protect railroad property is
being resented by strikers at some
places, apparently through fear that
soldiers may be used as strike break
ers. Speakers at several places
warned the government that serious
consequences would follow the EN-
ployment Of troops
Distribution of troops to various
centers with machine guns and many
rounds of ammunition is reported,
but there is nothing to indicate more
than precautionary measures to pro

Speeds Up Congress; More
Legislative Action Last Two
Days Than in Two Weeks.

Washington, Feb. 28.-President Will
sons closest advisors today declared
the country was showing an increas-
ing disposition to strongly support the
league of nations.
The claim was based on reports re-
ceived from all parts Of the United
States.
The attitude of the plain people to-
ward the league is considered most vi
tai. Supporters and opponents of the
plan attach the greatest importance
to reports which are coming in by wire
and mail.
1t is understood that the "stumping"
tours Of Senator Borah and others in
opposition to the league will be largely
for the purpose of sounding out public
opinion in every nook and corner of the
nation.
The white house today reflected a
spirit of optimism over the situation.
sTINsoN ENTERS LISTS.
Administration leaders were cheered
by prospects of Wilson Taft meeting
at New York on the league. They were
encouraged, too, by former Secretary OF
War Stinson's urging the Republican
national chairman to back the plan.
While there was vast jam Of leg
islation on the hill white house leaders
anticipated more speeding today as a
result Of the Wilson session with leg
islators. 1t was pointed out the two
houses ,l,ai more nctfon the past -rwu
days than in any recent week.
Before returning to France the presi-
dent has a group Of appointments to

day and discuss the general political
situation.
At his conference Monday with gov
ernors and mayors the president is ex-
pected to urge stimulation of public

ing unemployment.
Word was expected today as to
whether ex-President Taft would par
ticipate in the bipartisan league OF
peace meeting in New York, March l.

Presidential Timber to Be Dis
cussed at Farley, Sen. Ken
yon Announces, to Be in
Washington or Chicago.
BORAH AND JOHNSON ARE
REGARDED POSSIBILITIES
Program of Legislation Also to
Be Formulated Upon Which
Progressives Will Seek Ac-
tion in Coming Congress.
By L. c. MARTIN.

Washington, Feb. 2S-Progressive
Republicans will meet within a few
days to consider whom they will back
for the presidency in 1920, Senator
Kenyon, Iowa, announced today.
House and senate progressives with
o few leading progressives, not in con-
gress. will attend the meeting. The
time and place have not yet been de-
cided on definitely. The gathering,
however, probably will DE soon after
the adjournment Of congress and Is
likely to be held either in Chicago or
Washington, Kenyon said.
In addition to discussing what man
they shall get behind for the 1920
campaign, Progressives will formulate
a program of legislation upon which
they will seek action in the coming
congress, 1t was stated.
BORAH OR JOHNSON.
Political gossip has named
Senators Borah and Hiram John
son as possibilities for tho regular
Republican nomination in 1920.
Both are progressives, leaders of
the little group in the senate
which holds the balance of power
in organizing that body for the
next session.
- The progressive meeting will dis
prove for all time the charge that
jealousy of each other exists in the
Progressive ranks, Kenyon said today
1T will be shown that any one of
the progressive leaders Is ready and
willing to submerge his personal
hopes and ambitions in the common
good. There Is not one of us but
would step out of the way Of any
ether If the choice of that other will
serve better the cause of progress and
human welfare"
One effect of the forthcoming meet
ing, Progressives indicated, will be
the unification of the senate Pro-
gressives for their fight for represen-
tation in the co ming sessions organi-
Zation.
There has been absolutely no re-
treat in the fight, Senator Borah de-
clared today.
Third party talk is not encouraged
by progressives. Apparently, seces-
sion is not in their minds. Some Of the
most influential of them frankly dis
courage 1t.

slow had withdrawn his motion.
Mann then came forward with a
counter proposition to compose the
committee on committees of one
man from each Republican state
with the power to cast as many
votes as his state had Republican
members. The Mann proposition
carried overwhelmingly. giving his
forces control of majority of
votes in the committee which will
select the floor leader, revise the
rules and make committee assign
ments.
notwithstanding his control,
Mann today said he would not ac-
cept the floor leadership. His
friends are trying to get him to
change his mind. Mann's authority
on organization means that there
will be little likelihood of the SEN
iority rule being thrown over
board in the next congress, house
members said.

Washington, Feb. 2S.--Control of
the Republican organization in the
house today still remained in the
hands Of Representative Mann of
Illinois, despite his defeat for the
