FACING POSSIBILITY
OF WTLSON'S VETO
OF the Postoffice Appropriation Meas.
ure Brought Before the
Senate.

Washington, D. c., Feb 1.-THE key
log had been knocked out of the legis-
lative jam in Congress to-day through
passage by the Senate of the Fordney
emergency tariff bill The way thus

The postoffice appropriation bill was

Facing the admittedly difficult task
of reaching agreement on the Senate

ONLY WAY TO
AVOID CRISIS
Is By.Collective Bargaining
of Railroad Mems
Dispute
SAYS B. M. JEWELL,
HEAD OF UNION
Accuses Railroads Of Put
ting Out a Smoke
Screen

Chicago. Feb. l7.-Immediate appll-
cation of the principle of collective bar
gaining to the railroad labor situa-
ton was advocated to-day before the
federal railroad labor board by b. M.
Jewell, president of the railway EN-
ployes' department of the American
Federation of Labor. He said that only
by such means could the present CON
troversy be settled and national crisis
in transportation avoided.
Suggesting that the roads fight ON
the present national agreements Is
merely a smokescreen, he proposed
three steps for the board to take, as
follows:
First-The board to refer the nation
al agreements to a joint conference OF
representatives Of the railroads and the
brotherhoods, the board agreeing TO
pass Immediately upon any differences
which may arise from such negotia-
tions.
Second That the board confer with
the employers and employees on estab.
lishment of the boards of adjustment
as contemplated by the transportation
act,
Third That instead of filing flood
Of individual complaints on wages Of
unskilled employees, the American As.
sociation of Railway Executives,
through w w. Atterbury, chairman Of
its committee on labor. confer with
representatives OF the employees af-
fected.
Mr.. Jewell said that such program
of negotiation would establish the prIn-
ciple of collective bargaining in the
railroad industry, expedite the cases
before the board and prevent the roads
from multiplying the boards efforts by
filing an Overwhelming mass OF cases.
re pointed out that the Association Of
Railway Executives would meet here
tomorrow and said the time was OPP
perfume for an initial conference.
He stressed his argument that the
real issue before the board was whether
the fundamental principle Of collective
bargaining was to stand or fall, and
asserted that all delay in adjusting
pending questions would have been
avoided if the employers had either
met the union representatives in con-
ference or joined with them in estab-
fishing boards OF adjustment.
He asserted this procedure was part
of the transportation act and accused
the roads of violating that law by their
failure to adopt the methods he adyo-
Gated.
"We are not fighting for perpetua-
tion of any unreasonable rules or
working conditions" he said I'VE do
not wish to cause the roads unreason
Bile expense and never have supported
any rules that do this"
lie charged that organized propa
ganda was being directed at the board
at the behest of the roads.

Five Armed Bandits Stole
Six Sacks of Registered
Mail
JUST OUTSIDE MAIN
POSTOFFICE, TOLEDO
Compelled Three Clerks to
Lie Face Downward
on Pavement

Toledo, O., Feb. l7.-Five armed ban
dts early to-day held up three clerks
outside the main postoffice in Toledo
and escaped with six sacks OF regis
tered mail.
The mail had been brought on a
truck from the Union station and was
about to be carried into the postotiice
when the robbers drove up in an auto
mobile and forced the clerks to lie face
downward on the pavement. They
seized the sacks and drove away.
The stolen mail was from eastern
points and Cleveland, according to
Postofiice Inspector Blake. The robbers
apparently were at the railway station
when the train bearing the mail sacks
arrived and followed the truck to the
postoffice.
Postmaster George w, Lathrop was
unable to give an estimate of the value
of the mail stolen, but said he believed
it would reach large sum.
Postal employees said that the loss
might total nearly half million dol
lars The loss in currency alone was
100000 at least, the police say.

WON
THE WORLD wax
And They Will Win Future Wars, De-
clares Alfred Won Tirpitz, Fa-
ther of Submarine
Warfare.

st. Blasien, Baden, Feb. l6 by the
Associated Press .-Battleships won
the World war and will win future
wars, in the opinion of Admiral Alfred
Won Tirpitz, German minister of the
navy and father of the submarine war
fare of the historic struggle. He re-af-
firmed his faith in above water craft
during an interview to-day, and de
clared that, strangely enough, owing
to the peeuliarities of the war, the sub
marine had been given greater impor-
tance than was warranted by the facts.
England, Japan and the United
States recognized the fact, he SAID that
in world struggle for supremacy
outside of Europe land forces would be
secondary He asserted such strug-
gle must necessarily be one of sea su
premacy, but added that the sort OF
maritime forces to be constructed, in
the light of the experiences of The lat
est war, was a great open question.
"There was no decisive action be
tween fleets. during the World war he
said. because, in misconceiving the po
litical situation and poorly assessing
the inherent power of the German fleet,
the Berlin government did not risk it
during the decisive first years of the
conflict When the favorable time FOR
naval action was past, England had TO
suffer directly only from German sub
marines. Against them she had no
preparation.
''In reality, the war. so far as the
seas was concerned. was won by the
English high sea feet, and the yer
diet could have been reversed only
through battleships."
Admiral Won Tirpitz said he had lit
tie patience with the controversy now
raging in England over the submarine
and the surface warship. and declared
it was largely due TO lack of infoT
nation among many disputants, con
fict of personal interests and desire
on the part of the English cabinet 10
keep the world ignorant of the real
official views"
''While submarine engines had be-
comewhat more enduring" he said,
"the Germans. in the main, carried on
their submarine campaign for years
with virtually the same craft. they per
fected in 1913. Further development of
the submarine will be much hampered
until an efficient and uniform motor
can be developed for travelling above
and below the surface. After this is
solved there will be question whether
vessel fitted for underwater travel
ing can, in the long run, compete in
general performance with surface
vessel. I believe the ship constructor
viii think the surface warship will
always show a better general perfor
nance.
