missed from the unions, but that
the feeling was growing that to
continue disciplining the men was
impracticable.

PRESIDENT APPEALS TO.
RAIL WAY LABOR BOARD.
ASKING FOR IMMEDIATE
ACTION ON VA CT MATTER.

Washington, June 23.-President
Wilson sent a message today TO
the railroad labor board at Chi
cago urging that it make an imme-
diate award of the wage contro.
yersy. The text of the message
was not made public at the
White House.
President Wilson's message ask
ing that the railway wage board
give an immediate decision in the
wage controversy had not yet
been received, the board announced
at l p. m.
Judge Barton, chairman Of the
board, authorized statement that
all possible was being done to ex.
pedite' the decision.
The boards publicity department
declared that the delay in reach
ing a decision had nothing to
do with the present railroad
strikes, and that the railroads be-
leved the strikes would continue
even after the wage case is settled.
The strikes, it was said, are
prompted by an internal fight
for control Of the railway unions,
and not primarily by dissatisfac-
tion with wages. The wage ques-
tion has been injected, it was in.
timated, to deceive the public.

ELIMINATING ALL THE
OTHERS BRYAN DOESN' 7
SAY HE MIGHT NOT Be
THE STRON GEST ONE"

Lincoln, Neb., June 23.-Discussins
possible democratic candidates for the
presidency, W. ]. Bryan, in an article
in his newspaper The Commoner,
published here, declared that William
G. McAdoo, former secretary Of the
treasury, is handicapped as a candi-
date by his close friendship with
the president" while President Will
son himself, he says, need not be
considered"
Asserting that Mr.. McAdoo is also
handicapped "by his silence on the
peace treaty." Mr.. Bryan declares Mr..
McAdoo Is unable TO call 10 his sup
port those to whom the president
candidacy appealed with special force
and that he would furnish an easy
mark for all the presidents enemies.
The article says, however, Mr. Nc
Adoo has considerable strength among
wage earners.
Referring to President Wilson Mr..
Bryan says that while vague hints
and suggestions have been thrown out
occasionally. no one claiming to speak
for the president, or who is near
enough to him TO be assumed to ex-
press his wishes, has announced his
candidacy"
Herbert Hoover is eliminated from
the list of candidates whom Mr.. Bryan
considers available" while Senator
Owen of Oklahoma and Secretary OF
Agriculture Meredith are described as
being among the few available men
thus far mentioned. To be available
this year Mr.. Bryan asserts a candi'
date must be known to be for woman
suffrage, for prohibition and against
Wall street.
AS for Attorney General Palmer Mr..
Bryan says he entered the campaign
in a position to deal sternly with the
profiteer and expectant public stood
ready to applaud, but the profiteer
seems TO have things his own way
and the attorney general is now sur
fering from the reaction.
He adds that the attorney general
is unfortunate, too in having to
espouse the ratification Of the treaty
without reservations.
Former Speaker Clark is mentioned
as having his own state behind him,
while opposition to Governor Edwards
of New Jersey and Governor Cox of
Ohio is reiterated.
Governor Cox's friends" the ar.
ticle reads, will urge him as a com.
promise between the vets and the
Edwards type, and the bone drys"
Vice President Marshall is accused
OF making a feeble bid for the vote.
Judge Gerard's candidacy has South
Dakota's support and he has many
personal friends among the other dele,
gates, Mr.. Bryan says.

LONDONDERRY RENAL Ms
CENTER Of THE LATEST
REVOLUTION IN IRELAND

Londonderry, June 23.-There was
tween unionist and nationalist fac
tons, which has kept Londonderry in
terrorstricken state for some days
past.
During the night, the rival factions
erected additional barricades, from
which they kept up a continuous fire,
At times. the shooting reached the
intensity Of volleys.
The malcontents today were in en-
tire charge of most of the city and
it was even impossible to learn the
number Of casualties from the au,
thorities. Reports were in circulation
that several bodies had been seen
lying in Bishop street, but it was
impossible to verify the reports.
The military remained passive, the
troops watching bodies of armed men
pass through the side streets to
their battle positions. Considerable
fighting occurred on the waterfront,
which was cut off from the rest Of
the town. 1t was rumored that n force
of Sim Feiners was gathering out
side the city and also that the Irish
volunteers were about to take a hand.
No more troops have arrived in
Londonderry up to this afternon. 1t
was reported, however, that an ad.
ditional battalion had trained at Vol
eravne, 30 miles northeast of the city
and was marching in to escape the
danger of its train being wrecked
AS many persons as possible are
leaving Londonderry.

Outlines Possible Platform

Lincoln, Neb.. June 23.--Predictioa
that the democratic national conven.
ton at San Francisco will witness
fights over the peace treaty, the prof
iteer and the liquor issue is made in
an article by William J. Bryan in his
newspaper The Commoner.
"The chances are in favor Of rat''
fication of the treaty without reserva.
tions, and against the profiteer ana
the saloon" Mr. Bryan declared.
"The overwhelming opposition to tho
policy Of ratification without reserva-
tions Is shown by the vote at the
primaries" he asserted, will prob.
ably defeat any effort to make the
treaty an issue in the campaign.
The article also says the demo-
cratic platform is certain to declare
against universal compulsory mlii-
tary training, that the convention
will have to deal with the subject Of
private monopoly. that the democratic
party will insist upon the toilers righ:
to equal representation and that WON.
an suffrage will be endorsed.
