Brotherhoods Accept Presidents
Proposal, and Talk of
Strike DWindIes.
TO PRESS DEMANDS LATER
Rail Unions Insist Administra.
tion Has Not Acted in
Good Faith.
TO PRESS DEMANDS LATER

Talk of an immediate railroad
strike dwindled down to nothing to-
day.
The Brotherhoods have found
President Wilson's proposal accep-
table, according to report, and will
make formal announcement of the
fact today.
Press Demands Later.
However, the chiefs OF the brother
hoods, acceding to the Presidents
wishes, are going to make a number
OF facts clear:
First--That they are not abating
their wage demands in the least. and
will press them after the return OF
the roads to private control even more
vigorously than at present;
Second-That President Wilson's
prediction that the cost Of living is
to be reduced will be carefully
watched;
Third-The brotherhoods are going
TO say that the Railroad Administra-
ton has not Ncted In good faith. and
that its policy Is resented. The
charge viii be made that considera-
tion Of their wage was postponed
from time to time until the eve Of
return of the roads to private con-
troll, when the argument was made
that 1t would be unfair to saddle the
roads with these new burdens.
Claim Heavy sscrince.
The brotherhoods intend to show
that In waving their demands they
are making a heavy sacrifice in the
public interest, but that they cannot
guarantee their decision will be salts
factory to the rank and file.
No change has taken place in the
strike order affecting the Brother
hood CT Maintenance OF Way EN-
ployes and Shop Laborers. which is
scheduled to begin next Tuesday. 1t
Is probable, however. that in view Of
the general attitude taken by the
brothcrhoods there may be some
change in this policy. although the
strike order went out several days
ago, and 1t would be difficult to re-
call II.
The answer of the railroad work.
ers to President Wilson's decision Is
expected to be forwarded to the
together with the Presidents state
ment
Hold Conference Today.
The railroad workers were to go
into conference again this morning
to perfect the framing OF their an
swer to the President Considerable
difficulty has been given in this work
by virtue OF the fact that the mem-
bers OF the brotherhoods and unions
are insistent upon action. which win
mean Increased pay envelopes. and
the leaders here desire to take action
that will satisfy these men, and Will
forestall any unauthorized strikes.
The suggestion made by the Presi-
dent for a tribunal to analyze wage
and living costs is also perplexing
the representatives of the men, for
they are unable to decide whether
this proposal is sufficiently definite
for an open acceptance. They declare
that the suggestion. is in rather in
tangible form.
At the White House there was
great optimism today, and It was
fully expected that the final result OF
the negotiations would be at least
temporary peace in the railroad labor
world.

OTHERS AT INFORMAL
MEETINGS OF CABINET

Official Washington astounded today by Secretary of
State Lansngs resignation following sharp rebuke from
President Wilson for having called Cabinet meetings during
his Illness predicted there will be further sensational de-
veopments in this most amazing in the history # the
administration of the Republic.
The Presidents letter Secretary Lansing might be
interpreted acknowledgment that he unaware OF
what transpred during nearly four months of his Illness
for the fact Lansngs handling of the Jenkins
incident in Mexico repudaed by the President in his
statements to Senators Fall and Hitchcock
Certain members of Congress have already suggested
that there should be investigation to the conduct of
the Government during these months
Discuss Other designations
There was also considerable curiosity to whether
other designations would follow that of Mr.. Lansing 1t
is known that Secretary Lansing has not always been the
prime in the calling of Cabinet meetings. but that he
has simply acted ranking leader in calling the meetings
often at the suggestion request of other members
During the coal strike crisis when special meetings IF
the Cabinet called it distinctly understood at the
White House that the meetings called at the request of
Secretary of Labor Wilson At other times it had been
understood that other members desired the Cabinet meet
ngs and that Secretary Lansing simply ced at their
request.

 Tn the land where Christ preached tho gospd+ there are thousands who aro starving; children who will know no Christmas even though they arc of tho people who have held aloft the torch of Christianity since the days of Christ.
 It is in Armenia that these chill dren live. if the miserable existence that is theirs may he called living, A diet of bread for breakfast, bread and soup for dinner and bread for supperl And yet this slender ration means life to them. It is to make sure of this slender hold on life that we come to you at the approach of the yulctide season.
 We do not ask that you givo in order that they may have presents or feasting-we ask that you give that we may make certain to them this poor ration until Armenia is econom- icaliy restored and can care for her self.
 Through your libcality and the iibcrality of others like you we have been able to save thousands of these little boys and girls in the last three years Today Armenia Is better off than it was-oh! so much'better off hut still the workers there report the conditions indescribable, cspec- tally in tho Caucasus.
 You think of Armenia as a land of insufferable heat and sunshine: yet where these children starve. it is better cold for the Armenians are largely refugees from the Turks and es such aro Tn the mountain ranges, where the cold is as bitter as in our l own northwest.

Judge Nc GO0rthy
Denies Wife AlimOny.

billiard Strickland, 3646 Grand
Boulevard brought suit against his
wife, Sarah Strickland, charging her
with having deserted him in 1916.
Mrs. Strickland filed her answer
denying that she had deserted him
and requested the court to compel
her husband to give her support and
pay her solicitors fees. Mrs. .Strick-
land related to Judge D. McGoorty
of the circuit court, how her daughter
Jessie Strickland, 1897 Pennsylvania
Ave, Detroit, Michigan, had pur
chased her $4,000 home where she
was making plenty of money and not
wanting for anything; while her
sworn affidavit in support of her
claim for alimony had stated that she
was penniless and without food and
shelter. Her husband told the Judge
that he wanted his wife to come
home and live with him and showed
several letters received from his wife
stating that she did not intend to
ever live with him again. The Judge
decided that he would not compel
husband to pay money to his wife
who refused to live with him with
out any cause.
Mr.. Strickland is in the real estate
business in Chicago with offices in
the Angelus Building. Mrs. Strick
land is one of the society leaders of
Detroit, Michigan. The Stricklands
formerly lived in Los Angeles, Calf.
In an interview with a special re-
porter of this paper, Mr.. Strickland
stated that the property owned by
him in California was worth more
than $4,000, but that his wife had
left their palatial bungalow in 1915
and he had spent his entire fortune
in following her half way across the
continent trying to bring about a
reconciliation. Mr.. Strickland was
represented by the firm of Ellis &
Westbrooks.

valuable heirloom which she states
