DEMOCRATS REJECT
WILSON'S REQUEST
BY VOTE OF log TO II DECLARE
AGAINST UNIVERSAL MILL
TARY TRAINING.

WASHINGTON. D. C. - Demo-
cratic members of the house, meet
ing in party caucus tonight, refused
to forego an expression of their po-
sition on universal military training
in the face of earnest appeal from
president Wilson that action be with
held so the party's stand might be
left to it's national convention.
By vote of 88 to 81 the confer
ence voted down proposal by Rep
resentative Doremus, Michigan, that
no action be taken on the question.
His motion was a substitute for one
proposing that the democratic mem
bers declare their opposition to COM
pulsory training.
Immediately afterward the demo-
Gratis, by a vote of 106 to II, went
on record as against universal train
ing, adopting a resolution declaring
sit is the sense of this caucus that
no measure should be passed by this
congress providing for universal COM
pulsory military service or training"
Action Pleases Bryan.
Disapproval by house democrats
of enactment of universal military
training legislation by congress was
viewed with "great satisfaction" by
William J. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan, how
eyer, made no reference to Presi-
dent Wilson's letter read to the eau
Gus, opposing any party action on the
subject at this time.
"The decisive vote of 1O6 to II
not only determines the democratic
party's attitude on the subject of
military training" Mr. Bryan said,
"but it makes it certain that uni
versal military training will not pass
this congress. l hope the democrats
will take courage from this victory
and proceed to formulate a construc-
tive policy covering all issues be-
fore the country"

DRINK HOT TEA ,
FOR A BAD COLD

Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of

cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion

a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive

LET THEM REMAIN N FRANCE

II lE National Convention Of the American Legion has
adopted resolutions urging that the bodies OF SOL
lers who died Europe be given permanent burial in
cemeteries in France unless the relatives expressly de-
Sire the return Of The remains to this country.
This was a wise attitude for the Legion 10 take.
Attempt to return a large proportion Of the bodies
would result in much mistake Of identity that few
relatives would be that the bodies OF their Beloved
had been returned.
Many soldier reported dead IN France Unexpectedly
returned TO his family IN America.
Il was more than year after the armls,Ics was
gned before the last OF the fatalities was reported
When the records OF the deaths are In such condition
here is little to expect that the War Department
win be able TO exhume BODIES place them in caskets and
deliver them in the United staes without an immense
Number Of mistakes.
It just as well TO recognize the situation however

Washington, Feb. 20 - Organized
railroad workers and union labor In
general, holding the re-drafted rail
road reorganization bill to be desfruc
tive of the employees constitutional
privileges and liberties, have called on
Congress 10 defeat the measure In lis
entirety. Representatives Of the fiji
teen railroad unions at the close of u
conference, attended by Presideh'
Gompers and Secretary Morrison of
the American Federation of Labor
made public memorial 10 Congress
embodying this declarations:
"The pending bill depriyes citizens
employed upon railroads of the In
violate right 10 enjoy gains of their
avn Industry. The returns to capital
are fixed upon an arbitrary basis; the
rate which the public must pay and
the wages which labor must receive
must accommodate themselves TO this
basis fixed for capital. This act makes
the public and labor subservient to
capital. For these reasons herein SET
forth aud many others, we request and
tented in Its entirety"
During the nIl-dny conference, in
formation was given out that letters
of protest against the wage provisions
of the bin would he sent to President
Wilson and Director General Hines.
Later 1t was decided to make the first
fight in Congress, and intimations
were given that II defeated there. the
workers then would carry the battle
10 the White House, hoping that the
President might veto the legislation.
The memorial, addressed to the peo-
pie of the United States as well as to
the two houses of Congress. declares
that the bill in enunciating princl-
pie for basing the financial return of
Investors, subverts the principles of
American government This provision,
the memorial holds, would constitute
ian abandonment OF government for
the common good, the establishment
of government for private interest,
special privilege and class benefits
Provisions of the measure for ar
bitration of disputes are attacked be-
cause of the manner in which the spe-
cal arbitration boards would be con-
stituted and because of the way in
which they would operate. The arbi-
tration boards, including the perma
nent federal board of nine members
might be SO composed, the memorial
declares. us to eliminate labor from
representation. Procedure of these
boards as set forth in the bill, the
memorial states, would destroy all
discipline and lead to chaos.
