WATER POWER MEASURE i
URGED ON REPUBLICANS
Presidents Veto Denounced by Mr..
Pack in Telegram to
Chicago.

In telegram to the platform COM
mittee Of the republican national
convention Charles Lathrop Pack,
president of the American Forestry
Association. denounced President WILL
sons pocket veto" of the water
power bill, and called upon the com
mittee to incorporate in the repub-
lican platform "a demand for this
progressive legislation"
Mr.. Packs telegram read. in part, as
follows:
'.Waterpower development is so es-
sential in news print production.
which affects all the newspapers of
the country. and is so imperative in
every economic sense that the action
of President Wilson in failing to sign
the waterpower bill. passed by Con-
gress, blocks constructive Legislation
for increased production which the
nation demands.
The President has killed the wa
terpower bill by his pocket veto. and
his action which stiles economic de-
velopment will cost the country
dearly and 1t will in numerous ways
aid in maintaining the high cost of
living and retard increased produce
ton SO vital at this time to all our
people.

DELEGATES TO ST. LOUIS
Union No. los Elects Representa-.
tives to Convention Next
September.

Delegates to the convention of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes. to be held in ST. Louis next
September. have been elected by the
Federal Employees Union. No. 105, COM
posed of the woman workers of the
bureau of engraving and printing, as
follows:
Nora 3. James. Tillie Lindsay. Ger

Belle A. Trouland. Alternates were

bell
Resolutions were adopted at meet
ing of the union last night asking the
woman'S bureau of the Department of
Labor to make an investigation of the
machine operators of the bureau of
engraving and printing.
1t Is declared by the women that
they are not being paid compa IA BILE
wages to those received by male ma

woman's bureau to investigate the re-

the Redistribution legislation is taken
up by Congress the women may ap
pear before committees and present
their cases.

able vote-getter. but they know that
the delegates from eastern states and
the business men in other delegations
are absolutely opposed to him. Even
if the old guard wanted to do it. they
are powerless without the assent of
the conservative business men. who
are the backbone OF the republican
party. -. --s
Big business is represented here.
The most influential bankers and cap
tains of industry are concerning.
Friends of Johnson are doing all they
can in an effort to convince big bust
ness that there is nothing to. fear
from an administration by Hiram
Johnson Only a concrete speech on
the subject to the convention would
help matters in that direction and it
is hardly likely that the California
senator would risk such an appeal.
WIZ Eliminate Trio.
Yet the friendlness of certain mem
beers OF the old guard to johnson must
not he misconstrued. They are beat
ing Wood with Lowden. they will beat
Lowden with johnson. then they will
let the convention eliminate johnson
and when the California senator is
honestly convinced that genuine
effort has been made by the leaders
to nominate him. the expectation of
those leaders is that he will play
ball with them in the selection of a
compromise candidate.
II he doesn't play ball they will go
ahead without him and nominate
their own man anyway. For this
convention is in the hands of Sena tor
Penrose. Senator Watson. Senator
Watlsworth. Senator Moses. Senator
Lodge and former Senator Crane.
Newcomers like VIII Hays and Tobias
Hert on the one hand and supposed
intruders like Frank Hitchcock on
the other hand have been struggling
for control. only to have the bone
snatched away by the veteran lead
ers
The new old guard has been dis
placed by the real old guard. who
are wisely ncrmitting the big three
Lowden, Wood and Johnson-to
grind each other to pieces so that
tho veteran politicians can select the
next republican nominee and pos
sibly the next President Of the
United States At present writing it
looks as if Gen. Wood will show
splendid strength on the first two or
three ballots. will then begin to
break as Lowden takes the lead. and
then johnson will make a anal eff
fort, after which the nomination of
Gov. Sproul or Senator Knox or any
other member of the dark horse
coterie will be in order.

G. NJ. Cushing Points Out
Contributing Cause to
Freiqht Decentralization.

Faulty supervision of labor. and
not the failure of the men themselves
to work. is contributing cause OF
the general demoralized condition of
the railways. illustrated in the freight
congestion. according to George II.
Cushing, shippers representative on
the Washington Terminal committee.
appointed by the Interstate Com
movements through Washington.
Il have found from my work In
connection with the local situation
in the past three weeks" Mr.. Gushing
said today. that there has been an
inclination on the part of everybody
to blame labor for freight tie-ups and
like conditions on the railroads. From
my own observation somebody has
been passing the buck to labor In
this case, as the fault lies not in the
to work. but in the lack of proper
direction and supervision.
Without Proper Direction.
There is failure to give explicit
orders for the work to be done. and
the men find themselves with tasks
facing them. but no direction as to
how they must be solved.
The condition in Washington prob
ably is the same as elsewhere, and
proper direction and supervision for
the men who are working would go
long way toward solving some of the
railroads difficulties in moving
freight
Washington as a terminal is clear
of congested freight, Mr.. Gushing said
today The city is only affected h..
jams in other terminals which result
in some minor tie-ups III the local
yards.
