McAdoo's Friends in Indiana
| to Put His Name on Primary
Ballot in Defiance of BIZ
partisan Movement.

william Gibbs McAdoo of New York
has not declined to be the democratic
nominee for president, has not forbidden
the use OF his name in primary elections,
and Will not be able to- withdraw his
name from consideration by the voters
cf the country, even though he contin-
ues to refuse his assistance in the ef,
forts of his friends to nominate him.
Mr.. McAdoo's name will be placed on
the primary ballot in Indiana and Geor-
gia and number of other states. In
Indiana, the only opposition to the plac-
Ing of his name on the ballot has come
from a number of politicians who are
as active in republican politics as IN
democratic, and the only expressions of
this opposition have come from the re-
publican press of the state.
The Times today received a dispatch
from Mayor Miller S. Bell of MiTledge-
vile, Ga, declaring that the democrats
Of Mr. McAdoo's ole home would not
BE- deprived Of the opportunity to ex
press their choice for a candidate and
that McAdoo's name would be placed
on the primary ballot In Georgia re
gardless Of the position taken by Nc
Adoo that he preferred that uninstructed
delegates be sent to San Francisco.
The same situation that prevails In
Georgia exists in Indiana today.
INDIANA DEMOCRTS
ARE FOR AIcADOO.
The democrats of Indiana viii not be
deprived of an opportunity to lay their
choice for the presidency before the San
Francisco convention. Nothing has
trsnspired to change the position Of the
friends of Mr.. AfcAdoo in Indiana. They
declared that he would be the choice
D OF the democrats of Indiana and they
propose to make that choice apparent
in spite of the bipartisan efforts to
prevent il.
Fear Of william Gibbs McAdoo as the
nominee of the democratic party for
president has given birth to a bipar
tisan combination in Indiana for the
purpose of preventing, If possible. an
expression of the desire of the people Of
Indiana for McAdoo as a candidate.
The first step in the bipartisan move
ment is practically an Endorsement, edi-
torlsliy and otherwise. of Thomas R

LABOR STARTS
FIGHT AGAINST
RAILROAD BILL
Action Decided at Conference
as Road Heads Confer
With Hines.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1o.-Lsbor today
decided 20 fight the Esch Cummins bill
which provides for regulation Of the
railroads after their return to their own
ers aarch I.
While this decision was being reached
at American Federation Of Labor head
quarters railroad executives were meet
ing with Rail Director Hines to discuss
wa ges~and other problems connected with
return Of the roads.
LETTER TO WILSON
TO STATE POSITION.
Labor's opposition to the railroad bill
will be set forth, according to present
plans. In a letter to President Wilson,
signed by Samuel Gompers. president OF
the American Federation of Labor. This
communication was being framed todsy
at meeting attended by Gompers, 3.
NJ. Jewell, head of the federations rail-
way department, and officials of the big
railway unions.
The letter itself. or a separate state
mept of labor's attitude, may be made
public late today Following publication
of the letter, labor leaders say they viii
marshal their friends in congress for a
battle on the bill, which is TO come up
in the house Saturday and in the senate
next week.
LEADERS CALL 1T
MERE HODGE-PODGE.
Labor leaders today called the bill a
hodge podge" despite the fact that 1t
sets up tribunals for wage disputes mi
nus any compulsory feature. One clause,
however. provides for introduction of
wage disputes before these tribunals
through petition by 100 ''unorganized"
employees. This, leaders say, is a dis
elimination against organized labor. Be-
hind the decision to fight the Esch-
Cummins bill stands labOr's desire for a
twoyear extension of government con-
troll. Whether Gompers and railroad
union heads stlll have hopes of accom-
plishing this is unknown.
They made know ntoday, however, that
they will carry their fight against the
bill to the president, seeking to have him
veto 1t if 1t is passed by congress.

No intimation was given as to ths
length Of the presidents reply, but X
is understood he dictated and com
pleted the note this morning In his study.
With regard to making public the
documents in the Adriatic controversy
the president is said to favor such ac-
ton, hut the procedure in this event
would be to cable the allies first for their
permission, and 1t is understood this has
been done. 1t may be several days be-
fore the notes can be made public, it Is
said.
PEACE TREATY LAID

The treaty of peace with Germany has
been laid aside by the senate. It Will
be permitted to rest on the table for the
present, while senators wrestle with
railroad and other pressing domestic
legislation.

connected directly or indirectly with the
treaty may be injected into debate. bat

SHIFTING IN EUROPE
SEEN AS BIG FACTOR.
Should the treaty be projected into
the presidential campaign, as many SEN
ators now believe it will be, many pre-
dict that before il can possibly be voted
on at the fall elections, the situation in
Europe may be so changed that the whole
pact, from the American poirt Of view,
will be well nigh meaningless.
For instance, should England and
France yield to the opportunities of an
impatient and angry Italy and give her
what she wants, in opposition to the en-
phaticaliy expressed beliefs of President
Wilson. would rot the president, m ef-
feet, withdraw the treaty from the cam
paign as an issue, precisely as he warned
Europe he might do in the senateq
Some assert that unless the treaty IS
definitely settled in the senate, It win
become dead issue before the country
can pass upon it.
NEW FOREIGN TREATIES
MAY BE NECESSARY.
Unless the treaty is ratified or other
wise disposed Of soon in some positive
fashion, it is generally conceded here
that the whole trend of Americas inter
national relations may be materially al
tered and new agreements, or treaties,
may have to be negotiated between this
and the allied countries, and perhaps
