PrOgressives VIII Prevent
Completion Of Proposed
Rail Board Program.
NEWBORN STRENGTH
Union Officials Confident that No
Teeth" Will be Injected in View
of the New Congresses Status.
CBy United Press1

Washington, Nov. 9.-Abolition OF
the railway labor board was seen as
certainty by labor officials here to-
day as result of the elections up-
heval.
Confidence was expressed in union
quarters that the program for put
ting teeth in to the board cannot
now be carried out in new congress
where progressives hold the sway Of
power.
Instead, the administration may
move to solve the problem in the estao-
lishment of new and somewhat mod
fled system governing labor condl-
tions on the carriers of the nation.
This action might be taken before the
new congress convenes March 4, and
thereby forego any further conflict.
Labor, however. will demand COM
plete abandonment of the project and
ask the aid of its newborn strength
in congress to re-establish the old
Newlands act for establishment of 4
mere board Of mediation and concil-
lation to govern the industrv.
Under this act the board would hold
no power to set wages in the industry
and could act only when "a dispute
arises between employees and em-
ployers." 1t would have no power to
enforce its decisions and all its eff
forts merely would he tended toward
bringing the contendng parties to-
gether in settlemer e the disputes.
Members of the ccr. ission would be
appointed hy tn = dent.
Reiuvenation of this old practice
will be sought by labor as counter
action to any move in congress to
strengthen the present Chicago board.
In recognition of this change in
the situation, it was learned, that
several other solutions now are being
worked over by government officials
seeking revision of the present railway
labor board law.
A strong sentiment has been organ
lied in favor of placing certain powers
of the present board under the Inter-
state commerce commission. Some
officials believe this plan which has
been sanctioned by some rail chiefs
might satisfy some of the demands
for revision Of the present board.

BRITISH SOLDIERS ARE
DEAD IN NEAR EAST

London, Nov 9.-British soldiers
have been killed at Constantinopie,
apparently in a clash with Turks and
the situation is extremely grave, ac-
cording to latest davices from the
Near East.

mand that the allied forces withdraw
from Constantinople and that all AL
lied warships be removed from their
strategieaI positions in the straits,
according to Constantinople Dispatch
es to the Times. 80,
Two British soldiers were Killed,
evidently by Turks, near Kassim, one
report said. Meager Constantinop.e

Eastern Gable Company reported, the
Turkish nationalists had cut the Lon
don Constantinople cable near Chanak.
Communication between western
Europe and the Porte depends on un-
reliable telegraph wires via Budapest.

IMMIGRATION LAWS
my United Press.)

Washington, Nov. 9-Legislation
lifting the existing immigration re
strictions probably will be pressed at
the regular session of the next Con
gress in December, 1923, it was in
dicated at the Treasury Department
today
Certain administration leaders ex-
pressed belief that the gates must be
opened wider to prospective immi-
grants to relieve the shortage of la
Dor in many industries throughout
the country. Many steel mills and
equipment plants are operating at
only seventy-five per cent capacity
because of the labor shortage, it was
said.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
believes that the labor shortage is one
of the reasons for high-prioes in
many industries and also that it acts
as a brake on prosperity.

EXP President May
Break Long Silence
Responds To Requests For Interview
With Telegram Stating That
He Would Talk Later.
(By United Press.)

Washington, Nov. g. Woodrow
Wilson overjoyed at the sweeping VIC
tory of his party in Tuesdays cleo
ltiona, may break his long silence
and make a statement to the people on
the Democratic triumph.
This was indicated in a telegram
the United Press received today from
John Randolph Boiling, the former
presidents secretary.
1t read:
"Mr. Wilson prefers to reserve any
thing he may have to say about the
election until later"
The message was sent in response to
requests for statement from the war
time leader of Democracy on the re-
markable gains made by his praty.
1t is expected that the eX-Presiden:
will apper on the porch of his home on
Saturday and greet several thousand
of his admirers who will make an Ar
mistice Day pilgrimage to "the Home
on S Street"
He probably will make a shorc
speech at that time, and because OF
his keen satisfaction over the sweep
made by the Democrats, it is not be-
leved that he will refrain from COM
menting on the election.
Mr.. Wilson'S secretary worked late
into the night going over huge pile
of kilograms the former President re-
ceived, congratulating him on the cleo
ton result and characterizing it as
triumph and vindication for his prin-
ciples. Many of these were read by
Mr.. Wilson.
A visitor at the Wilson home yester,
day said the former President was
"supremely harpy" at the outcome Of
the election.
On Saturday. Mr.. Wilson may drive
over to the Arlington National Gene
terry and place a wreath on the tomb or
the unknown soldier, but this has not
been definitely decided upon yet.

was shown by what happened in the
senatorial fight. The Republicans
lost nine states, and may lose North
Dakota, making total losses ten. The
Democrats lost but two, Ohio and Ne
hraska, with Utah still in doubt,
The Republicans held only eight
normally Republican states in the SEN
atorial fights, while the Democrats
held twelve of theirs.
The result in both houses was hail
ed by progressive leaders as VIC
tory for their principles. Progress
i've Republicans senatorial candidates
survived when other Republicans
were beaten, and will hold control of
the senate in their power because OF
the narrow Republican margin.
The new and enlarged progressive
bloc in the next senate which may
dictate the senate's Legislative trend
will include: Borah, Idaho; Johnson,
Calf; Brookhart, Iowa; Norris, Ne
braSka; La Toilette, Wis; Norbeck,
$. D.; Shipstead. Mimi; Howell, Ne
braska and sometimes Ladd, n. ID.
Similarly the House will be within
the control of a small group of rad
icals" representing farm and labor
constituencies. Some of these were
elected as Republican, Farmer-Labor
candidates, some as Democrat-Farm-
er-Labor, and some as straight Farm
er-Labor. With House control swing
ing on ten votes or fewer, the farmer
labor group will be able to dominate,
by means of coalition with either of
the other parties.
The condition in the House will
make election of a new majority
leader to succeed Rep. Mondell, Wy
oming, a delicate and important task.
Not only will the new leader have to
try to maintain Republican control
against Democratic assaults, with a
hardly adequate working majority,
but he will have to deal with the new
ly powerful independents.
On the wet and dry issue, the cleo
ton appeared to have afforded no
such clear cut decision as it did on
. the makeup of congress. Two states

went wet NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
and Illinois. The other two, Califor-
MIA and Ohio, wavered and changed
from hour TO hour, with the final re-
suit inconclusive, but with the drys
favored in Ohio and the vets in Cali
fornia.
The Illinois vote alone of the four
appeared to be real wet victory, in
asmuch as Massachusetts was not vot
ing directly on restoring beer and
wine, but merely on enforcement of
the prohibition laws. Whether Hi
nois will actually get wetter as a re-
suit of the vote is problematical, as
court fight will follow.
The vets added to their congress
ional representation, but apparently
not as largely as they expected.

SELL WHEAT DIRECT

Washington-"F'or the first time in
the history of American agriculture,
farmers have sold their wheat direct
to Europe without the aid of brokers,
commission agents or other middle
men," says the All-American cooper
iative commissions news service.
"The steamer Texan has left Port
land, Oregon, with 10000 bushels of
wheat for London and Antwerp,
shipped by the northwest wheat grow
ers, the farmers cooperative market
ing agency Of the four northwestern
states. While this is the first cooper
ative shipment Of wheat to the center
of the worlds grain market, the north
western farmers have already shipped
nearly a million bushels of wheat to
the Orient under special contracts.
The valuable connection thus estab-
lished will save hundreds of thousands
of dollars for farmers in commission
fees and speculative profits and at the
same time reduce the cost of flour to
the consumer by eliminating the
speculative element"
