Ignoring Chief,
Strikers Vote
To Remain Out
McHugh Warns Insurgents
Rail Labor Board MAY
Take 30 Days to Hear
BrotherhOods' Demands
Crisis on Staten Island
Trolley Service Will End
Tuesday if Agreement
With Men Is Not Reached

In test of sentiment among the
railroad strikers in and around New
York on the question of returning to
work as individuals without seniority
rights the insurgents yesterday voted
to stay out.
The strikers had gathered in Grand
View Hall, Jersey City, to hear the
report of Edward McHugh. their leader,
who had returned from vain effort
to have the grievances of his associates
taken up Immediately by the Railroad
Labor Board in Washington. The re-
fusal Of the railroad managers to
amend their ultimatum denying semi
ority rights to the men reporting after
last Sunday removed the last oppor-
tunity for the reinstatement Of the
bitter-enders to their former status.
When McHugh asked them if they
wanted to wait for the wage decision
Of the board or go back and take pot
luck with the railroads, they decided
to stay out
The controversy has thus developed
into fight to a finish, with the rail
roads employing new men to fill the
places Of those of the insurgents re-
garded as unacceptable and the in
surgents man9uvering to pull out
other employees of the roads.
Staten Island Faces Strike
The residents of Staten Island face
a complete suspension of their trolley
service on Tuesday If by then the man

some agreement with its employees
This prediction was made by leaders
of the men yesterday when informed
of the defeat Of the jerks bill at
Albany, which provided for increased
fares in greater New York and which
was expected to enable the compan,
TO give it's employees the desired raise
in wages.
Two weeks ago the men demanded
25 per cent increase. The compan,
countered with per cent PROPOSE
ton, which was turned down. The mer
agreed to give T. r. Ryan, general man
ager of the company, forty eight hour
before going out. A meeting of tn
employees will be held to-day, at whicl
it was stated strike vote will be TAX

Hugh, in outlining the position of tn,

United States has been there 1t would

I'VE know that the United States is

OF Turkey and Armenia. We are now
working on those subjects. The reply

lated to President Wilson's note would
have been in America by this time had
we not held it up pending a decision
as to whether we should include in it

whether that should be made the sub

"On the question Of Germany think

President, Sounding Key

vention 1t Is America's s
Duty to Uphold the Pact
Lewis Hints Third Term
Must Be Prepared to See
Leader Named at San
Francisco, He Declares

WICHITA. Kan, April 22.-Preside mt
Wilson, sounding the keynote of the
Forthcoming Democratic Presidential
campaign in a letter read to the Demo
cratic state convention here to-day by
Jouett Shouse, delega te-a large, de-
clared the issue to be put to the voters
must be the duty. of America to follow
up victory by establishing a league of
nations.
j. Hamilton Lewis, former Senator
from Illinois, told the convention that
the country must be prepared to see
the San Francisco gathering nominate
Woodrow Wilson for third term as a
protest against "the treaty of peace
being tortured into a pact of revenge
on nations, as license of murder Of
men, and command for raids and in
vasions upon oppressed and suffering
people"
The letter from the President said:
81 cannot help thinking that the
party is to be congratulated on the
fact that it has come to a year of ex-
ceptional opportunity and duty. The
issue which it is our duty to raise
with the voters of the country involves
nothing. less than the honor of the
United States and the redemption Of it's
most solemn obligations; its obliga-
tions to it's associates in the great war
and to mankind, to whom it gave the
most explicit pledge that it went to
war not merely to win victory in
arms, but also to follow up that vic
tory with the establishment of such a
concert OF nations as would guarantee
the permanence of peace based on
justice"
Women had large part in the con-
vention. Not only we're woman dele
gate and woman alternate elected on
the big Four" delegates large, but
two women were among the sixteen del
egates elected by the districts and con-
tirmed by the convention, and three
we're among the altcrnates. The reso-
lutions adopted also made mention of
the woman suffrage amendment, and
prediction was made on the floor that
national suffrage soon would be a real
ity.
Compulsory Training Condemned
In addition to commentator of the
record Of the Democratic party in con-
structive LEGISLATION and Endorsement
of the league of nations, the resolution
adopted made special reference to the
Democratic policy of bonus for ser
vice men: commended the amendment
of the Constitution to prob bit liquors

as nifty per cent What is important in practically
every instance where such contract was entered into the

he was making most excellent bargain for himself In

Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
Mr.. WILSON, MR.. LANSING AND
MR.. MARSHALL.
From THE Sun and New York Herald.

From The Sun and New York Herald.
In the first of his three letters TO
Mr.. Lansing the President dwelt upon
the constitutional aspects OF the Sec.
rotary OF States course in calling Cab.
met conferences and obtaining inter.
charge OF ideas among the heads OF
the executive departments. He as.
serts that under our constitutional
law and practice as developed hitherto
no one but the President has the
right to summon the heads of the
executive departments into conference
and no one but the Congress or the
President has the right to ask their
views or the views of any one OF them
on public questions"
In his second letter the Presidenl
raises a second constitutional ques.
ton based upon his theory Of the
futility of the conferences and inter.
changes conducted by Mr.. Lansing.
He says: II have to remind you, Mr..
Secretary, that no action could be TAX.
en- without me by the Cabinet"
His constitutional theory is that
since the President could not act, no.
body could act. The government Of
the United States stood still until a
President gerent resumed direction
and control.
But while the Constitution makes
no mention and takes no account OF
Cabinet officers, this is the exact coli.
tingency provided for in Article IT,,
Section l, clause of the Constitu-
ton. The supreme necessity for con.
tinuous governmental functioning Is Il
matter beyond question or dispute.
The Constitution in the place cited
determines who shall carry 1t on
when the President cannot act. Il
will therefore seem to many persons
that any complaint OF infringement
OF constitutional prerogative might
more justly as we'll as more gra,
ciously emanate from the Hon.
Thomas R. Marshall, whom Mr.. Lan.
sings course excluded from whSs may
have been his constitutional duties
rather than from Mr.. Wilson, whoae
unbroken tenure OF office the Cabinet
conferences made possible by provid.
ing for at least a semblance of contin
uous government.
To some 1t may seem that II Mr..
Lansing made any lapse in strict con-
stitutional observance II was not to
the detriment of the gentleman WHIT
now so roundly condemns him. Blu.
perhaps Mr.. Lansing did not make his
security the first considerat ION in pro.
ceeding as he did. He may have
thought-no doubt did think-that the
public welfare at home and national
prestige abroad were best protected
by carrying on business with mini
mum OF visible disturbance or shock.
It is at least pleasant to think that
the public interests took first line in
somebody's program.
