Plan Cooperative Hotel Bureau

Formation of q cooperative hotel bu-
reau to assist travellers to resting places

cording to managers of leading hotels.
The bureau would be patterned after
one recently organized In Chicago as
a result of travelling congestion.
Like many other cities Indianapolis
lacks adequate hotel accommodations as

HANDICAPS POOR MAN

NEW YORK, April William G. Nc
Adoo today outlined at the request Of the
United Press the reasons for his opposl-
tion to sending instructed delegates to
the democratic national convention.
His attitude In this regard had pro-
voked wide spread comment his critics
holding that his supposed opposition 10
presidential primaries belle the claims OF
liberalism his friends made for him. He
was asked to prepare q statement ex-
planning his attitude In this regard II

BY WILLIAM &. McADoO.
written al Request Of the United Press.) }
l do not object to primary elections for
the selection OF delegates 10 national con-
ventiops, but l think II IS a mistake to
send Instructed delegates. Some Of my
reasons are:
1. Only seventeen states. l believe. au-
tkorize primaries.
This leaves tbirty-one states which
choose their delegates by the old con-
ventiOn method
The object Of the primary is to give
the people a chance 20 select candidate
for the presidency and 20 prevent politl-
cal machines from controlling the dele
gates aud thereby controlling the con-
yention.
But so long as thirty-one states may
choose and instruct delegates through
conventions and only seventeen may
choose and instruct through primaries,
the system fails al the very outset TO ac-
complish the purpose for which II was
designed
.. The primaries are held at varying
dates and under varying regulations ~
the different states, some Of which do no,
properly safeguard the election.
Some primaries are held as much as
four months IN advance OF the couven-
tlon.--- ~
As consequence. instructions are
given without knowledge Of conditions As
they may exist at the date OF the con.
vention and yet the delegates are bound
TO a course Of action which may be dl-
rectly opposed to their best Judgment
and TO the best interests OF the country
at the time the convention meets.
3. A two-thirds vote is required TO
nominate in a democratic convention.
So long as delegates are instructed,

RUNAWAY STRIKE
WIDENS IN SCOPE
Tnsurgent' Rail Unions Re-
ported at Several Points.

CHICAGO. April 7.-Chicagos runaway
strike of railroad workers threatens to
spread to other cities, and possibly to
become a national walkout which would
virtually tie up all railroad traffic in the
United States, it was apparent from re-
ports received here today.
With all freight traffic completely
paralyzed IN the Chicago railroad dis.
trict, and practically all lines of travel
of the city menaced by the strike. word
reached here that the trouble is rapidly
extending to Buffalo. St Louis, Mil
waukee and other cities, where ''insur-
gent unions are being formed, appa-
rently to break away from the control
of the big railroad brotherhoods and
precipitate strikes in the fashion the
Chicago walkout was started.
The strike became more serious here
today when $500 engineers and iremen,
defying the national heads Of their union,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers, prepared to join the
walkout.
This makes the total number of men
on strike $4,000 and means that the move
ment of freight on every trunk and belt
line entering the city will be completely
paralyzed within few hours.
remedy the situation, Chicago will face
a food shortage and will be deprived of
other necessities.
Already the malls have been seriously
interfered with.
Decision of the engineers and iremen
to join the strike, against the orders of
their own grand lodge officers, was made
at a meeting of their local representatives
late last night.
They operate the switch engines in the
Chicago railroad district
Railroad officials and other observers
of the strike here are inclined to the
belief that 1. W. W. tactics, if not that
organization itself is behind the trouble.
One of the cardinal 1. W. W. policies
is to work from within" as much against
labor union control as against the cap
italists," and 1t is known I. W. W agi-
tators have been exceedingly active among
all railroad workers.
