WILSON SURE
STRIKE EISOVER
Decision of Labor Board on
Eastern Coast Walk Out,
Remedy, Belief.

President Wilson is not expected
to intervene and hurry the award
of the Railroad Labor Board as a
method of settling the outlaw"
strike of railroad workers in Phila-
delphia. Baltimore and other East
ern cities. The administration, it
became known yesterday, is conf
dent that the recent announcement
of the board that its award in all
railroad wage disputes will be made
retroactive to May l will have the
effect of sending the insurgent yard
work without action on the part of
the President.
The fact that the administration
is pinning it's faith on this proceed
ure delevolped after yesterdays
Cabinet meeting. The request of
the railroad brotherhood officials
that the President use his good
Office to hurry the decision of the
board was presented to the Presi-
dent by John Barton Payne. Secre-
tary of Interior and Director Gen
eral of the Railroads.
Secretary Payne and William B.
Wilson, Secretary of Labor, believe
the workers will return to work as
soon as they have been informed OF
the boards assurances that the
awards will be made retroactive to
May 1. Both also were inclined to
think that the situation in the
strike-affected areas had been bet
tered during the day.

Aboard Overland Limited En-

A vigorous antiprofiteering plank
will be offered to the Democratic
national convention by Senator
Walsh, of Montana, he announced
late today. In the Senator's opin-

big issues of the campaign. He was

would be strong.
"If the Democrats come out
strong and definitely against profit
eering and recommend measures 10
stop it, they will have no trouble in
winning next November" he said
Here is one phrase that will be
used in the wording of the plank ]
will offer: The fight is on between

MEXICO SENDS
COMMISSIONER
New Government Arranges
For Possible Rejection
Of Envoy.
By Universal Service.

Mexico has appointed high
commissioner of Mexico to be sta
toned at Washington. -
The commissioner, it was an
nounced at the State Department
yesterday. is Fernando Iglesias Call
der0n. He will be accompanied by
his sister and his private secretary,
Leopoldo Hurtado. Others in his
suite are Julio Garcia, legal advis-
er; Gen. Fernandez MacGregor
counselor. and Daniel Garcia, Sec
ond secretary of embassy.
Inasmuch as the rule is that any
other foreign nation asks whether
such a representative would be ac-
ceptable to the United States, il is
thought here that Mexico already
has taken that action.In the event,
however, that this government re-
fuses to receive Calderon as repre-
senting the new regime he will
nevertheless be received in his ca
pacity as commissioner. The Unit
ed States policy is to send commits
stouers to States with which il has
not complete diplomatic relations
even to Germany, with whom there
is no diplomatic relation at all.

Democrats Face Old-Time
Conditions on Eve Of
Frisco Convention. ;:
FAVORABLE TO PALMER
Attorney General Believed
Elastic Enough to Adopt
Moisture" /.
By THOMAS r. HEALEY.
GPubIic Ledger SerNice.1

San Francisco, Cal. June 22.-
There is persistent talk among
Democratic leaders that the Demo-
cratic national convention may
nominate the standard bearer be-
fore it adopts a platform.
The party has taken such action
in the past, notably in 1904. when
Alton B. Parker sent his famous
Gold telegram" thereby forcing
the convention to reconvene at the
moment of adjournment to recon-
slider the platform.
The talk heard today is welcomed
by two elements, although neither
will openly admit satisfaction. 1t is
particularly gratifying to the sup
porters of Attorney General Nit
chell Palmer, whose managers de-
sire him as the Administration"
candidate and it is pleasing to the
vets who see in the method dis
cussed a means of tying the candi-
date to at least a moist plank"
Neither Homer Cummings nor any
one else authorized to speak for the
party chiefs will discuss the liquor
question with any degree of salts
faction. The convention may ignore
it entirely and then again it may
not. 1t is an open question.
No Objections to Plank.
Nevertheless, it is said here today
that the Palmer supporters would
not object to a moist plank" should
it be approved as a party measure
after the nomination of their candi-
date, If he is nominated.
Mr.. Palmer is dry" and his chief
associates in the Democratic party
in Pennsylvania are dry" notably
Vance C. Mccormick, but neverthe-
less the opinion is stressed that Mr..
Palmer would not attempt to set
aside any action the convention
might take toward pledging the
Democratic party to a revision of
the Eolstead act, such as is favored
by the Indiana platform.

BALL ACT AGAIN VOID

The attempt of the Department
of Justice to persuade the Munic-

sion to abide by the decree of the
Court of Appeals declaring the Ball
rent law unconstitutional and to
recognize the Rent Commission inso-
far as its rent fixing powers were
concerned has failed.
Judge Robert H. Terrell. before
whom Assistant Attorney General
Henry II. Classic argued, decided
late yesterday afternoon, when
faced with the mandate OF the
Court of Appeals, that he would
overrule the Departments petition
and proceed with landlord and ten
ant cases in the same manner as
before-namely, ignoring altogether
the Ball rent law and the Rent
Commission.
Thus the rent situation in Wash

it was the day after the Court of
Appeals declared the rent law un-
constitutional. The mandate of the
