The report of the stoppage of work
from various branches, which were laid
before the executive committee on re-
assembling Thursday, were serious.
From $4,000 to 100000 transports are
idle and hundreds of thousands Of other
workers in other callings have been
obliged to remain idle, according to
Secretary Robert Williams.
At midday thousands connected with
the shipping industry were idle. The
Clyde area was especially affected. AT
ports the work of loading vessels de-
creased, and it is expected that unem-
ployed will be intensified as the vessels
of fuel dimish. Many steamers are ly-
ing idle for lack of cargoes, and the sea-
faring community on the northeast coast
is already beginning to suffer hardship.
Sympathetic Strike.
The feeling has become acute in vari-
Gus places, and some branches of the
transport federation have adopted res
oIutions urging the federation to take
sympathetic action with the miners.
Reductions in the number of trains
have already been made on all the prin-
cipal English lines, and a drastic cur
talment was made on the Irish railways
and Dublin train service to conserve the
coal supply.
The cabinet discussed Thursday the
grave situation arising out of the threat
of the railway and telephone workers to
force the government to negotiate with
the miners Whether any decision was
reached was not disclosed.
Cabinet Crisis
Two grave questions are exercising
the political and industrial world-first
as to what extent the labor leaders are
losing control Of the workers, and second,
whether political crisis and an appeal
to the country will develop ont of the
miners dispute.
Premier Lloyd George was in informal
with some of the labor
leaders. but little hope seems to be en-
tertained that the government will Iecede
from its position, insisting on mn in
creased output or submission of the dis
pute to an independent tribunal as a
condition for an increase in wages.
Government Can Not Recede.
Even had the government been in
clined to recede from this position it is
felt it could hardly do so now in the face
of the railwaymen's threat. Undoubtedly
the solidarity of the workers, as shown
by the action of the railway and trans
port workers, comes somewhat as q sur
prise to the public, because the miners
strike is unpopular with almost the en-
tire community The seeming ineonsis-
tency is explained by some of the labor
leaders as due to the universal belief
among the workers that the government,
under pressure of big business interests,
has decided that halt must be called to
the continual increases in wages.
More Production Promised.

LAW DECISIONS
NOT DIPLOMACY
IN NEW COURT
Root States Procedure
Agreed to For World
Permanent Tribunal.

New York. Oct. 21.-Elihu Root, in
the city of New York Thursday night,
explained for the first time some of the
accomplishments of the international
commission of which he is member TO-
ward perfecting plans. for permanent
court of international justice.
Mr.. Root laid emphasis on the forward
step taken at the conference at The
Hague this year when basis was laid
for determining what international dis
agreements are truly Justiciable aud
means provided for insurlng that such
cases should come before an international
court with jurisdiction to settle them ae-
cording to principles of law.
The term "justiciable." as applied to
certain international difficulties, had
been used only In vague sense in the
President Taft. Mr.. Root said, and It
was one of the most serious problems
of the commission on which he sat to
define the term as applied to information
al law. ;,
The older system of the Hague trib-
unal. he explained funetioned rather
along the lines of diplomacy than of
strict justice and there was tendency
to compromise rather than adJudicate
disputes In accOrdaHee WIFI tHt piluSipi-
es of law and justice. This Mr.. Root
said, was another feature which present
plans eliminate in favor of more
strictly judicial procedure.
He said the plan provides that the
international court shall decide cases
strictly according to the law, letting
the consequences take care of them
selves.
Nations with disputes TO. settle may
under the League of Nations. either
consent through representatives in the
assembly to submitting differences to
the court of arbitration, or, lacking
such consent, the question automati-
cally goes to the council for settle
ment. ,
Arbitration by the court, he said, is
of strict legal right This, provision
he added, was inserted in the plan IN
the exact words of the recommends,
ton Of the bar. association submitted
to him before leaving for The hague.
The plan provides that the court
shall have jurisdiction also in al cases
of Interpretation of treaties or In con-
sidering the advantage and effects OF
obligations over which the dispute IN
the question arose."

R0ADS-RETUR
SAVED MONEY
FELTON, SAYS
c. G. w. President Gives
Reasons for Claiming
Government Failed

Minneapolis Oct. 31.-The govern
ment's action in returning the railroads
to private control in March saved the
people large amount of money, de-
clared Samuel NJ. FELTON,, president of
the Chicago and Great Western rail-
road, in an address Thursday before the
chamber of commerce. If government
operation has been continued, he added
the deficit which the government would
have had to pay would have been far
larger than the deficit it will have to
pay for the six months of private opera
ton, March / to September l.
During the time that railways were
struggling with the switchmen's strike
and business was somewhat demoralized
by it." he said, s'the defenders of gov
ernment control and advocates of the
Plumb plan began to criticise private
operation upon the ground that it was
proving, incapable of handling the
country's traffic as well as it had been
handled under government operation"
Now that under private operation, in
spite of all difficulties that have had to
be overcome, the railways are moving
more freight than ever was moved
under government operation. the defend
ers of government operation and critics
of private management have begun to
use ammunition of a different kind Re-
Gently widespread publicity has been
given to the effect that since the rail-
ways were returned to private operation
they have been incurring large deficit
which the taxpayers will have to pay. 1t
is estimated the total deficit for the six
months will exceed 5000, 100000. The
implication is that the loss to the pub
lie during these six months was much
more than it would have been if govern
ment operation had been continued.
Return Saved Money.
ST am prepared to maintain, on the
basis of the showing made by railroad
administration In the closing months OF
government control. that the govern
ment saved the taxpayers a large
amount Of money BY returning the rail-
ways to private operation when they did
jim other words, that if the govern
ment operation had been continued. the
deficit in these six months would have
been much larger than it actually was

quests that receiver be appointed to

L have today received your telegram
dated yesterday. / would not willingly
do you injustice, and | do no think have.
You began your campaign by an in
terview with the president. an authorita-
tive statement, that you and he were in
complete accord upon the League of Ma
tions. I cannot be mistaken about his
position. Throughout the long struggle
in the senate he steadfastly refused to
give his assent to any reservation which
substantially changed the covenant as he
brought it back. He certainly has not
changed. His very recent utterances
show that.
Says Pledged to Mr.. Wilson.
IF you have changed from that com
plete accord with him. ! have not heard
of it. Such change is not indicated by
the vague and general expressions of
your telegram saying that you will ac-
cept reservations that will clarity, that
will be helpful. that win reassure the
American people. that you would sit
down with the members of the senate,
that you would confer with Mr.. Wilson,
Mr.. Taft and myself, and all others who
have sincere purpose. etc. because you
are the one who would determine what
was helpful, what would reassure the
American people, what advice you would
follow and you are solenlnly publicly
pledged to an agreement with AIR. Will
son, concerning the covenant he brought
back from Europe.
On Article X.
'sThere is one statement of your teie-
gram that does give definite idea OF
where you stand upon what Mr.. Wilson
declares to be the heart of the league
the general alliance of article 10 by
which the United States would undertake
to guarantee as against external aggres-
sion the territory and independence of
every member of the league aud to make
that guarantee good by war. If necessary.
You say in your telegram that you
will accept reservations thai will clearly
state to our associates in the league that
congress and congress alone has the
right to declare war and that our con-
stitutions sets up limits in legislation or
treaty beyond which we cannot GO.
Statement Does Not Clear.
THAT. it seems. is what you are will
ing to do about article 10. Well. it is
absolutely nothing. Everybody knows
already that only congress has right to
declare war and that there's are limits to
legislation and treaty making power: All
governm ents of all civilized nations know
it. You accomplished nothing by telling
them of it again The trouble about Civ
ing the guarantee provided in article 1O
is that the making of a treaty containing
Ii is q solemn assurance to all the nations
that it is within the treaty making power
and that the promise to make war binds

COMPANY MAKES STATEMENT.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Officials of AR
mour and company issued the following
statement regarding the federal indict-
ments returned in New York:
owe are at loss to understand these
indictments. The reasonableness of
profits cannot be judged by consideration
Of few transactions. We made some
money through the sale of New Zealand
lambs, but we did not make enough on
them to offset losses we sustained IN the
sale of domestic lambs. and with our
lamb business as a whole showing a loss,
it seems rather bitter joke to indict us
for making too much money. The net
result of the New Zealand lamb business
was to give customers meat for less
money than they would otherwise have
had to pay"
