FARMERS AND LABOR
 URGE THAT WILSON
 VETO RAIL MEASURE
rRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON Feb. 2e.-President Wilson was urged to veto the railroad bill in memorials presented today by the railroad brotherhoods, the Farm CTS National Council and the Ameri- can Society of Equity. Delegations representing those organizations saw Secretary Tumulty. who told them he would bring their requests to the presidents attention. The railroad brotherhoods objected especially to the labor clauses of the act but joined with the other organizations in op- position to the proposition which in effect asserts th.1t railroad security owners are entitled to five and one half per cent on the aggregate value of the properties.
 Referring to the risks of crop failure taken by farmers every year in order to feed the nation, the American Equity society declared that the out standing debt against farm values. was between $6,00O. 100000 and $7.000,000,- 900, with afi interest charge of about $500, 100000 a year to the farmers. The government the equity society said, does not guarantee this charge.

The premiers remarked that President Wilson had ignored the great advantage conferred m Jugo-Slavia at the same time." In their discussion they had found, they said, that nobody desired the consImmation of the free state of F'i- unies and that the met upshot of the asreement was to give Jugo- Slavia 150D00 more Jugo- Slavs than the origi- nal proposal The premiers argued that the guarantees of the league of nations werP sufficient to guard against the annexation President Wilson feared and his criticism of Italian domination of the railway then replied to by holding it "a commercial and not a strategic railway" and adding that under Presi- dent Wilson's proposal it is com manded by Italian guns

Bringing in the treaty of London, as an obligatorial alternative, the presidents note said. ..calne as surprise because the American government regarded the agreement of December as super seding it. The course to fall back on the treaty of london. it said. was followed without any attempt to seek the views of this government"
 In co1clusion the president replied to the British and French reference to the inclusion of Germans in Czecho- saying:
 Recites British French Views
 This is a line of reasoning which the Italian representatives have ad- vanced during the course of the ne- gotiations but which the British and French have hitherto found them selves unable to accept. There were ca ses where for sufficient geographi- cal and economic reasons, a slight de- flection of the ethnogra phical frontier were sanctioned by the conference and the American government believes that if Italy would consent to apply the same principles in Istria and Dal- matia the Adriatic question would not exist"
 Then referring to Italy's sacrifices advanced in the correspondence as reason for her claims, the presidents reply says:
 Such considerations can not be made the reason for unjust settle ments which would be provocative of future wars. A course thus determined would be short sighted and not in ac- cord with the terrible sacrifices of the entire world which can be justi- fled and ennobled only by leading fi- nally t\ settlements in keeping with the principles for which the war was fought The president asks that the prime ministers of France, Great Britain and Italy read his deterfnina- tion in the Adriatic matter in the light of these principles and settle ments and realize government stand ing upon such a foundation of princi- pies. he must of necessity maintain

 Plead Against Withdrawal F.thnologic reasons it was argued, could not be the only ones taken into account. as they said three million Germans had been taken into Czecho- SlovalSia and the American delegation had supported, including 3.500,00O Ru- thenians, in Poland. The reply added the hope that whatever the final view of the United States as to Adriatic settlement may be, they will not wreck the whole machinery for dealing with international disputes be- cause their view is not adopted in this particular case France and Great Britain cannot believe that it is the purpose of the American peo- pie to take q step so far-reaching and terrible in it's effects on a ground which has the appearance of being so made quate. This was the conclusion of the reply of the French and British pre- miers of February IT,

In his view. the note says. the project to connect Plume to Italy by a corridor lis quite inprac ticable" and he refers to the declara- tions of December on that subject.

 The presidents note says that while the three fold division of Albania in the British agreement mighe be most acceptable to the Jugo- -Slav govern ment. he is just as vigorously opposed to injur.ing the Albanian people for the benefit of Jugo-Slavia," as he is to "injuring the Jugo- Slav people for the benefit of Italy.
