RAILWAY UNIONS
BLAME PRESIDENT
His Procrastination Responsible fo1
Present Unauthorized Strike OF
Railroad Workers.

CHICAGO, June 25-Oficials rep
resenting all the recognized railway
unions met here today in an effort to
keep their men in line and put halt
to unauthorized strikes. W. &. Lee,
president of the brotherhood OF rall-
way trainmen, and spokesman for the
union leaders, laid responsibility foI
the present situation at the door OF
President Wilson in q statement issued
before the meeting opened.
Mr.. Lee charged that the President
had permitted the railway administra-
ton to daily along for nearly year
after the men presented their demands
and that it took the President 40 days
to appoint the railway labor boarC
after the Eseh- Cummings bill author
izing it had become law. We are here

the war, but we felicitate him and his
associates on the exceptional achieve
ment at Paris Involved in the adoption
of a league and treaty so near akin to
American ideals and so intimately re-
lated to the aspirations of civilized
peoples everywhere.
''We commend the President for his
courage and his high conception iof
good faith in steadfastly standing for
the covenant agreed to by all the as
sociated and allied nations at war with
Germany, and we condemn the Repub
lean senate for its refusal to ratify
the treaty merely because it was the
product of Democratic craftsmanship,
thus imposing partisan envy and per-
sonal hatred in the way of the peace and
renewed prosperity of the world.
by every accepted standard of in
ternational morality the President is
justified in asserting that the honor of
the country is involved in this business;
and we point to the accusing fact that,
before it was determined to initiate po-
| litical antagonism to the treaty, the
| new Republican chairman of the senate
| foreign relations committee himself pub

President Urges That State To Act
Upon Woman Suffrage.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-President
Wilson has sent messages to Governor
Beckett and Senators Simmons and
Overman of North Carolina suggest
ing that he need not point out to them
the ''critical Importance of the action
of the North Carolina legislature on the
federal suffrage amendment when the
assembly meets in special session next
month
The message follows:
~ am sure / need not point out to
you the critical importance of the ac.

of suffrage amendments
The President previously had asked
Governor Roberts of Tennessee to cal

Republican congress accepts as the es-
sence of faith. And because Demo
cratic president blocks the way of this
immoral thing, he is hated and reviled
for his obduraey today
In his talk with the newspapermen
yesterday Chairman Cummings said
among other things:
First. There has been no dictation
from the White House
Second. There is nothing to the
third term talk for the President.
Third. Every effort will be made to
citrant states to adopt the suffrage
amendment.
Fourth No deadlock is looked fo1
on the nominations. 4r
Fifth. Neither Reed nor William F
McCombs has any standing in the con
wention, recognition by the national
committee on the temporary roll of the
convention will be denied both OF
these opponents of the President.
Sixth. Third parties are Away
| two-edged swords, but if there is {
third party movement in this campaign
!, it will operate largely in the Northwes
tern states and the Dakotas, which vii
take these states out of the Republi
can column.
Seventh. No expectation or sugges
ton that the President intends to SEN
a message to the convention or in an.
way influence the action of the dele
gates; the work Of perfecting the aeous
ties of the auditorium has nothing t
do with the alleged plan of Presiden
Wilson to talk to the delegates.
Eighth There will be no fight o
the league of nations; the only possibl
contest which may arise will be owe
the sympathy plank on Irish freedom.

few Of the men had been affected ad-

OF the team would improve over the
form shown in the Boston try outs. As

terpiece of the drive-and-pitch variety.
It is only 3s2 yards in length, but the
sairway is narrow and trapped, while
the undulating elevated green is sur
rounded by more bunkers than War
saw is by Russian Reds.
Diegel in temperament is something
like Jack McDermott, confident to the
last punch and ready to go after eyery-
thing in sight. With the knowledge
that he needed a to lead the field on
this first day he struck off a mighty
tee shot straight down the course. and
straightway followed this effort with
one of the finest second shots we have
seen in a year. He was less than a

deep trap 10 carry.

In place of lifting a high pitch he
raped q low, half-push shot that
barely carried the bunker on a line.
struck the green six feet from the Gun

tied string to it, leaving himself less
than a foot putt for the best round of
the day-a II.
Only skillful, confident player in
full control of his nervous system
could have played shot of this type
just at that moment, for if the effort
had gone wrong he would have been

On another occasion, when he was
bunkered at the sixth hole, within n
foot or two Of the bank, in place of
using 4 nibhck or even mashie, he
took out pitchingiron to get distance,

pendicular angle and Topped it within
foot OF the cup, which happened to be
40 yards away.
That's the best shot 1 ever played"
Leo remarked at the end of his round.
Diegel Is Confident
There may be number here who
don't believe that Diegel can hold this
terrific clip, but Leo isn't one of the

The feature match of the day was
the test between Harry Vardon, aged
fifty, and Bobby Jones, aged eighteen
Those1who followed soon found out a
portion of Yardons greatness and the
chance that Jones has to finish we'll.
The Georgia youngster started bril-
liantly. And while he was putting for
IS or IS the big gallery was aston
ished to see the immortal Vardon push
or hook his iron shots into traps on
the first three holes.
At the start the old snap wasn't
there. Where Jones got away 4-4-2
Vardon needed 5-6-4. He had lost
four strokes on three holes to the
