RAILROAD EXECUTIVES UNANI.
MoUsLY DENoUNcE LA5oR's
PROPOSAL.
AS NATURALIZATION EFFORT
Declare Issue at Stake 10 Whether
Unions Shall Place Their Power
Above Public Interest-Want
to Deal With Men.

Chicago, Ill.-The Ass0ciatioe u
Railway Executives at It's meeting
here unanimously adopted the report
OF Its Labor Committee and passed
resolutions refusing to enter into ma
tional conferences suggested by the
employees as a means of settling diff
ference over wages OF unskllled labor
and working conditions.
The executives denounced the pro-
posal for such conferences as plan by
labor veaders to bring about rationale
cation OF the railroads, and declared
that they would result In consolidation
OF the labor unions. Efficiency of la
Dor upon railroads was Incompatible
with continuance of the strength and
growth Of the consolidation of labor
unions represented by B. M. Jewell and
his associates, the Labor Committee
report said.
The committee report pointed out
that the opposition made by the roads
to the national agreements and the Do
sition taken was not to be construed
as an attack on labor organizations
themselves.
Want to Deal with Own Men.
"What we have been trying to do and
all that we have been trying to do" the
report said, sis to get the opportunity
to deal with our own employees, so as
to restore the efficiency Of labor on
railroads, and, If possible, avoid nom
employment and defer serious wage re-
auctions The leaders of the labor
unions, by the position they have
taken, have directly raised the issue
whether the maintenance and increase
OF the power Of the national labor
unions shall be placed above the pub
lie interest in the efficient and eco
nomical operation of our transportation
system"
b. M. Jewell, chairman of the, rail-
way labor department of the American
Federation of Labor, asked the Rail-
way Labor Board to refer the national
agreements and the question of wages
of unskilled labor to a national joint
conference Of railway heads and rep
resentatives of the labor unions. After
referring to this demand and the state
ment made by Frank p. Walsh before
the board that the unions might find it
necessary TO made ian earnest effort
TO prevent Congress enacting into law
pending legislation for the financial res
lief of railroads, the report said:
Would Mean Naturalization
"The railroads are thus confS> nted
with this situation: While endeavoring
to escape from one set of rigid and
uniform rules and working conditions
inherited from the war, they are met
with new demand, which, If ac-
quiesced in by the Labor Board, would
deprive individual carriers of direct
negotiation with their own employees.
These demands amount to nationaliza-
ton of the railroads in the interests Of
consolidated labor unions, but against
the real interests of the employees.
Such naturalization Is absolutely in
compatible with the efficient and
economical operation Of the railroads"

NEED NAVAL PLANES.
Without Them U. S. Is Within Power
Of England, Says Fiske.

OF England, Says Fiske.
Washington.-Unless the United
States is willing to place itself within
the power of Great Britain it must de.
velop naval aviation, in the opinion of
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, who
has expressed his view on naval aero.
nautics in a letter addressed to the
Aero Club of America.
Briefly" said Admiral Fiske, 1T is
absolutely necessary to develop naval
aviation and to provide modern air
plane carriers, unless we are willing
to place ourselves in the power OF
the greatest naval and aeronautical
nation.
THAT nation is now the best friend
we have in the world and we see no
reason whatever for having a war
with her. But in the same way that
no man would like to be IN the power
Of his best friend, we ought not like
to be in the power of that nation.
las conditions are now, her navy
is so much more powerful than ours,
especially in possessing aerial craft OF
offensive effectiveness and personnel
trained to use them, that, in case our
interests or policies should clash, we
should either have to give her her way
without fight or else be whipped in
battle and leave her free to make her
own way afterward unhindered.
THE plain truth is that we have
simply been beaten by superior
brains"

tion with the Kenyon bill to appropri-
ate 100000 for taking a cargo of

x.RAY TO CURE CANCER.
Possible to Produce Rays With Effect
Of Radium.


st. Louis.-Recent scientific ad.
vances have made the X-ray probably
as effective as radium in the treat
ment of cancer, according to DR., Jas.
G. Van Zwalunwenburg, of the Uni
versity of Michigan, president Of the
American Roentgen Ray (X.Ray) So
ciety, which has opened its annual
mid-winter meeting here.
ut has been found that the X-Ray
has an alleviating effect on diseases
OF the skin and on cancer" he ex-
planned, and added:
1T is at present possible to produce
rays chat are almost identical with
radium rays.
THE value of these recent advances
In readily seen when 1t is remembered
that a gram Of radium costs $4,000
and that an X-ray plant can be
equipped for $4,000"

M AIRS. ADDIE ANDERSON WILL
lMl SON Of Dotnan is a former BIZ
mngham woman who has won
distinction as musician and is rapidly
becoming known as a, real composer OF
good music. 4
Mrs. Wilson, as Miss Addie Anderson,
had many friends in this city and her
lovely home in Dothan is now center
for social life and for clubs and philan-
thropical organizations Mrs Wilson S
hospitality and her delightful art of max
ing everyone feel happy and at ease in
her home is proverbial even in Dothan,
which is known as one of the most hos
pitable towns in the state. Not only is
Mrs. Wilson prominent socially and as a
clubwoman, but she is said to be one OF
the finest musicians of the state. She is
the organist at the First Methodist
church of Dothan, where there is an UNI
usually fine instrument with beautiful
chimes.
She is second vice president of the
Alabama Federation of Music Clubs, and
her song, Under the Rose, won instant
recognition at the state contest of Ala
hama Federation of Music Clubs last
spring.
Mrs. Wilson'S music makes lovely
setting for the exquisite verses of Rich
ard Henry Stoddard, which she used,
with his permission, as she found these
lines fitted to her composition:
s'She wore a rose in her hair
At the twilights dreamy close.
Her face was fair, how fair,
Under the rose.
~ steal like shadow there
AS she sits in rapt repose,
And whisper my loving prayer
Under the rose.
fShe takes the rose from her hair.
And her color comes and goes;
And l, lover, will dare
81 Under the rose"
H Mrs Wilson has published a number OF
songs and instrumental compositions
Among the latter are the piano num-
Abers Meditation" Butterflies" "Fas-
cination" and Southern Breezes."
\ Among her songs which have been pub
,lished are: Evening Song Sea Song,
.'"Without You," and her late new song
,ssGood Night, Mr.. Moon." which prom
ises to be even more popular than IN
der the Rose
- The words and music of the last song
were both composed by Mrs. Wilson, ana
the song is guaranteed to bring smile
wherever heard. 1t is dear little song
in which a young girl tells Mister
Moon" whom she has seen peeping Out
from behind a cloud, of her absent lover.
::1'he day has been very long, because her
