should not be considered when it was
obvious that employes were not receiv
ing a proper wise.
"A bankrupt road cannot buy its coal
any chaper than one that is paying
83 per cent, then why should any road
buy its labor for less than it is worth
because a proper wage would decrease
its profits?"
Postponement Declared Disastrous.
To postpone the strike after the men
had voted it, Garretson declared, would
mean the disintegration of the brother
hood and "the turning over to the mob
of the trains as in 1877 and 18a4."
"I want to impress on the commit
tee," said he, "that since the beginning
of these negotiations no definite pro
posal ever has been" made to us by the
other side. They have said but one
thing; they have offered to leave the
whole matter to the Interstate Com
merce Commission."
Garretson added that he wanted to
assure the Senators that the brother
hoods were not opposed to arbitration.
"We believe In the principle of arbi
tration." he said, "but not in arbitra
tion where we stand only to lose. There
have been many unfair men on our
arbitration boards."
Senator Newlands interrupted Mr.
Garretson to say it was his under
standing that the proposed bill did
not prevent any man from leaving his
employment during an investigation.
Concerted action, he said, was what it
was designed to prevent. "Quite true,"
Mr. Garretson said, "but if only men,
individually, threatened to strike on
the railroads we would not be here
now discussing this proposed legisla
tion." The brotherhoods, Mr. Garretson said,
would not oppose being drafted to run
trains as long as it was only for mili
tary purposes.
Gompei; Opposes Legislation.
"There are worse things than strikes."
said Samuel Gompers. "We have got
to live when that strike is over and is
history, and then, I ask you, will we
find upon the statute books, a law that
says that men are criminals if they
strike in concert. Such a condition is
intolerable. I trust this legislation
will not be enacted."
Senator Newlands asked Gompers to
give the committee the solution of the
problem.
Mr. Gompers replied that, under the
circumstances, the employes should be
left free to strike whenever they saw
fit, and not forced to "unfold their
arms" by law. The question of bring
ing about peace now, he insisted, should
devolve upon the railroad heads, who
should be expected to agree to some
ort of satisfactory settlement.
"W. G. Lee. head of the trainmen,
went into details of why the men re
tused to arbitrate the eight-hour day.
"We stand ready," he said, "to arbi
trate all other Issues as soon as the
President's eight-hour-day proposal ia
enacted into law. It is beyond us, if
we ever hope to remain officers of
these organizations, if we ever expect
to retain the respect of these men,
to stop this strike by any other meth
od than to send our general chairman
code messages meaning 'satisfactory
settlement effected,' ajid that message
can be sent if we get the eight-hour
day."
Too Late to Reach All Men.
Replying to Senator Pomerene, Mr.
Lee said if it were possible to reach
all the brotherhood men and explain
the present legislation, he thought
they would vote to flelay the strike.
But that, he added, was impossible
now. and he laid the blame on the railroads.
Mr. Lovett was heard first to present
the side of the railroads. Mr. Lovett
1 said if the public were not involved
in the present controversy and if there
tv ere not thousands of railway em
ployes not allied with the trainmen
the parties involved should be allowed
to settle the matter themselves. The
railroads, he said, are no longer owned
by the bankers, but have stock, evenly
distributed.
The railroad officials, he said, regard
the problem as one to be settled by ar
bitration, because, he added.- "just as
certain as the sun sets, the public will
pay the bill. Railroads have no in
come except what they can earn. That
depends on the rates they can get. My
understanding of this matter is that
what the men want is an increase of
wages. If Congress proposed to- enact
a law to make them work only eight
hours they would be up in arms.
Responsibility Put on Congrenj.
"If this burden of $60,000,000 a year
Is put on the public because of this
legislation now proposed, the responsi
bllity will be on Congress, not on the
railroads.
"We have done our utmost to settle
this dispute, except to surrender what
we think a vital principle.
"The issue here." Mr. Lovett con
tinued, "is whether the one hundred
million people in this country are to be
, put at the feet of 350,000 workmen. If
the judgment of the country is that.
there is nothing for us to do but sub
mit. we will abide by it. The responsi
bllity is no longer mine. The railroads
will struggle on and meet the additional
expense in the best way we can, know
ing ultimately it will be passed on to
the public.
ii you put this Duraen upon us, we
must abide by it, but I think it would
be the greatest injustice that ever hap
pened in the history of this country to
force it upon us, with the hands of our
men on our throats."
STRIKE WILL CLOSE MINES
Bulte Has Bin Capacity for Only
Two or Three Days Output.
BUTTE, Mont.. Aug. 31 Should
Nation-wide railroad strike be called
next Monday, every mine in Butte, ex
cept the Butte & Superior, would soon
be closed, according to announcemen
made here tonight by mining officials.
The properties will all work as long as
possible, but the bins will hold no more
than a. two or three days output a
the most, it was said.
"We have expected such a strike and
in accordance have made every prepara
tlon to keep going in the event of such
a thing, but found that we would be
forced to close should the great strike
be called," said one of the directors
of the Anaconda Copper Mining Com
rany, many of whom are gathered' in
Butte in anticipation of a. complete
shutdown.

TO AVERT RAILROAD STRIKE.

sage of which Congress hopes to avert a railroad strike, is:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America, in Congress assembled:
. "Section 1. That beginning December 1, 1916, eight hours shall
in contracts for labor and service be deemed a day's work and the

"That .each member of the commission created under the provi

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31. Pacific

on the Administration and to a criti
cism of hyphenism.
"Americanism," he said, "is a matter
of the spirit, of the soul, of the mind;
not a birthplace or creed."
The cause of preparedness is in
separably connected with the cause of
Americanism or patriotism, "of whole
hearted loyalty to this Nation, for
which the great men of this Nation in
the past have stood," the Colonel de
clared. It would be a "grave misfor
tune," he asserted, to re-elect Mr. Wil
son. "Under President McKinley we Tiad a
war with Spain," he said. "Under
President Wilson we are assured that
we have had 'peace' with Mexico. These
are the words. Now for the deeds.
During the war with Spain fewer
Americans were killed by the Spaniards
than have been killed by Mexicans dur
ing the present 'peace' with Mexico.
Moreover, when the war with Spain
was through, it was through. But
'peace' still continues to rage as furi
ously as ever in Mexico."
Mr. Roosevelt charged that the tak
ing of Vera Cruz was war, and added:
"It was a war which was abandoned
ignobly; it was a war which failed.
But it was war nevertheless.
"The kind of 'safety first' for which
President Wilson's advocates stand
means 'duty last, honor last, courage
last.' I do not believe in it. I believe
that it is obtained at the cost of moral
degradation in the present and at the
risk of National ruin In the future."

NEW YORK IS ENCOURAGED
City, However, Makes Preparations
in Event of Tie-Up.
NEW YORK. Aug. 31. Although the
prospect' of averting the threatened
Nation-wide railroad strike was con
sidered encouraging tonight, officials
and representatives of New York's in
dustries continued their efforts to pro
vide against suffering in a possible
emergency. Commissioner of Police
Woods prepared an appeal to the rail
roads and employes urging them in the
event of a strike to permit food sup
plies to reach the city. The commis
sioner also reiterated his statement
that he would act vigorously against
dealers who raised food prices.
The Department of Weights and
Measures suggested today that in the
event of a strike the Board of lder
ment appoint a commission to regulate
food prices.
Fear was expressed that embargoes
already declared by the railroads might
seriously affect the situation, even
should the strike be called off.
The Erie and the Delaware, Lacka
wanna & Western railroads announced
tonight that thev expected to maintain
a service by drafting men from their
mechanical and clerical departments.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 31. Senators Chamberlain
and Lane are down on Senator Kern's
list as among those who stand ready
to vote for an eight-hour bill, such as
it Is proposed to rush through Congress
during the next two days. Thus far
Senators are loath publicly to discuss
the railroad situation in any detail,
but Senator Kern today countednoses
among Democrats and put down both
Oregon Senators as favorable to the
programme the leaders have in mind.
Both Senator Chamberlain and Sena
tor Lane received numerous telegrams
from Oregon today urging them to
stand out against an eight-hour day
for railroad men, the telegrams coming
from large concerns whose business is
directly affected by railroad rates.

Another message, from the United

The Oregon Brass Works, the Port

and other big firms all telegraphed
protests on the ground that the eight

advancing freight rates, which in turn
would adversely affect the manufac
turing and other industries of Oregon
