international News Service.

The specter Of a combination raii.
road and miners strike, involving
close to 100000 men and con.
stituting the greatest industrial tie
UP in the history Of the country,
began to take form in Washington
today. Even though not yet ma
terialized. the possibilities Of the
situation are such as to cause Ad-
ninistration leaders distinct un.
easiness.
Daily reports from railroad centcrs
throughout the country received at
labor headquarters indicate the men
are "straining at the leash" and
that they intend to quit work as 2
protest against wage reduction even
II recognized chiefs Of their brother
hoods and unions do not think a
strike should be called.
The Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Firemen at its last convention pre-
pared strike ballots to be sent
broadcast to members whenever a
wage cut was ordered. This con-
vention was overwhelmingly in
favor Of strike on the wage cut
issue and the attitude Of the fire
men is believed to be paralleled by
that OF other railroad workers.
September is being looked upon
as the best month for the rail tie.up
on the hypothesis that the strike of
500 900 bituminous coal miners will
be over by that time.

W0RLDCONTROL
Of DRUG HABIT,
NJ NARY 8 AIM
Senator Seeks to Gust Evil
Through Uniform Laws by
All Nations.
BY SENATOR CHARLES l..
McNARY.

(CopyriEht. 1914. by Cosom politan News
SerVice)
The joint resolution I introduced
to the Senate Of the United States
10 another crusade to reduce the
narcotic evil by persuadins the ma.
tions Of the earth to enact uniform
legislation with regard to control Of
this pernicuous drug.
The international movement init
ated by the United States in 1912,
which was subscribed to by a num-
Der of other nations, accomplished
much good, and in view Of the
growth Of the narcotic habit II was
thought that an international con.
vention, by enactment Of uniform
laws, would do much to abate use
Of narcotics.
America led other nations In at
tempting to suppress the opium
curse, and therefore quite properly
should undertake this additional
step.
My belief is that Congress will
promptly pass the proposed legisla.
ton and that the President will act
in accordance thereto.
