JOHNSON GIVEN
BACKING FROM
NORTHWEST
Senator Endorsed for Presi-
dent by Republican State
Convention.

Senator Hiram johnson was en-
dorsed- for President yesterday by
the Republican convention called at
Bismarck, n. D.. by william Lemke,
of the State central committee.
The convention represents the
real Republican sentiment of North
Dakota. free from all nonpartisan
elements. Yesterdays action means
that Senator Johnson will capture
the ten Republican delegates from
North Dakota to the Chicago con-
vention.
Because of the effort which Re-
publican candidates have been con-
centrating on North and South Da-
kota recently. the endorsement of
johnson is regarded in political
circles here as most significant.

INDUSTRY PEAK NEAR

Price-fixing by the War Indus

by former Chairman Bernard NJ.
Baruch before the House War In
vestigating Committee yesterday
"If we had not fixed prices as we
did," he declared. "they would have
been limited. especially I'm steel,

opinion, and profiteers and hoard

The former head OF the War In

stand four hours.
Followed wIson's Views,
Baruch admitted in response to
questions that ne was allowed a
free hand as an economic adviser
to the American peace commission.

with your work." Chairman Gra-
ham asked.

Asked by Chairman Graham when
he had discussed preparedness with
President Wilson. Barauch said:

From the moment the European
war broke out I was convinced that
the United States would be drawn
into 1t. So strongly did feel about
the matter that 1 was one of the

Secretary Baker that you believed
the United States would be involved
in the European war;" asked
Graham.
IL did" was the reply. Il thought
a war was coming a long time be-
fore it did"
Baruch said he had favored the
taking over the rail-
roads or giving them financial re-
lief because they had functioned
badly from the outset of the war
and were about to break down. He
added:
"If the railroads had ceased to
function. it would have been good

LABOR PLACES
LAST HOPE
In VETO
Brotherhoods and Execu.
tives Await Presidents
Action on Bill.

Representatives of the railroad
brotherhoods and executives of the
companies are awaiting with inter-
est, not to say anxiety, the Presi-
dents action on the railroad bill.
While a large percentage of those
interested believe the President will
sign the measure. there is a consid-
IerabIe number. especially among
the union leaders, who are still
holding out hope that the legisla-
tion will be vetoed.
One of their hopes was dissipated
yesterday when Attorney General
Palmer returned the bill to the
White House, saying he was unable
to find anything unconstitutional
jim it. After its return from Pal
mer's office the bill was sent to
Walker d. Hines. Director General
of Railroads, for an opinion.
1t is believed that Hines has al
ready prepared detailed answer
TO the objections OF the union lead
ers against the bill and that he will
recommend that the President sign
the measure and make it a law.
Support for this belief is cited in
the fact that, the Railroad Admins
tration is rushing plans ITO turn the
roads back to private control at
1901 Monday. All departments Of
the administration. with the e&cep-
tion of the liquidation division. are
to be discontinued on that date.
Rush Return Plans.
If. as now generally believed. the
President does sign the bill, it is
understood that both the roads and
their employees will Immediately
start suits to determine the con-
stitutionality of different sections of
the measure.
The union men have declared they
will test the constitutionality of
those provisions which, they claim.

and subject them to the rulings of
the labor board created under the
bill
They also believe the provision
guaranteeing security-holders a 5la
per cent income on their invest
nant 10 upconStitutinpol
May Bring Suit.
On the other hand, it is asserted
certain of the more prosperous rail-
roads will bring suit to test the
constitutionality of the guarantee
provisions, which provide that all
profits over 6 per cent shall be di-
vided between the roads earning
them and a government fund for
loans to other roads. The charge
in this case will be the taking of
private prn~e-'v without compen-
ration in violat on of the g.
tutioa.
The railroad union leaders are
remaining in Washington, sitting
tight" and awaiting the Presidents
decision. The fourteen rail union
executives will remain here some
time and. in the event of the Presi-
dent signing the bill. will await
the views of the rank and file of
the 100000 railroad employees in
the country before taking any
action.
Members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission have given much
time to the study of the bill, so
IL the Presidents signature is an

FOR DAMAGE
Senator France Would Of.
fer Indemnity and Re-
sumo Relations.

Apologies would be extended to
Russia for alleged depredations by
United States soldiers on her soil.
and indemnity offered for damages
caused by invasion of any portion
of Russian soil by United States
forces, by the terms of joint reso-
luton introduced In the Senate yes
terday by Senator France. of Mary
land. The resolution was referred
to the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions.
The resolution sets forth as, it's
purpose the establishment, of more
friendly relations batwesr Russia
aad the United States, and the lift
ing of the embargo against ship
ments to that country. 1t appeals
to the ancient friendship between
Russia and the United States in the
following language:
The people of the United States
have long looked forward TO the
time when the people of Russia
would establish free institutions for
themselves.
Made -"Heroic, SACRIFICES.
During the European war the
noble Russian people made heroic
sacrifices. cooperating with the al
lied nations against Germany. 1t
was not because of any lack of de-
votion. but rather on account of
Incompetence and corruption of their
autocratic government that the Rus
sian people made. a separate peace
with Germany.
No unfriendly act has been COM
mitted against the United States by
the Russian people. On the con-
traty. they have borne with pati,a ce
our unlawful invasion of their ter
ritory and intermeddling with their
internal affairs. The, people of the
United States desire the continu-
ance of friendly relations and the
re-estahlishnent. of traoe and COM
merce with the Russian people. and
wish by every proper means to aid
in her Industrial rehabilitation.
Lift Embargo mt Once.
The President is hereby advised
to communicate at once through the
Department of State with the gov
ernment of Russia. assuring her peo-
pie Of our friendship and sympathy.
and desire. to cooperate in restor-
ing normal relations, The Presi-
dent is advised to have the embargo
removed at once, and To consider
the best method OF arranging cred
it's which will make possible the
shipment of such American goods
as may be desired by the people
of Russia.
"All American troops in Russia
are to be withdrawn at once, and
entered into concern
ing explanations and reparations
which may be due Russia on ac-

and gratitude for their

American people of our desire to
help and Cooperate with them IN
every way"

Acting Secretary of State Polk
said yesterday that business reia-
tions will soon be opened between
Soviet Russia and the allied coun-
tries. He said that he had not yet
seen the reported peace offer which
london dispatches said had been
sent to this country. 1t is the opin-
ON of Mr. Polk that commerce with
Russia will be greatly hampcred by
