President Defends Program for Com

Disputes on Railroads Before
Strike or Lockouts Allowed Says
Men Should Not Be Allowed to
Stop Industrial Processes of the
Nation Before Public Is Told.
WASHINGTON', lice, fi. Presi
clout Wilson's address lit the opening
nl' t lie session of congress today was
wholly devoted lo domestic subjects,
principally llu; problem of railway
legislation.
In the hall of llio house, with sen
ators and represeniativoi-nsseaihli'd
in joint session, President Wilson, in
necordanoe with the custom lie bc
o,nn at the opening of liis term, reail
his address from the clerk's desk.
The president not only renewed his
recommendation for legislation to
prevent n nation-wide railway strike
or lockout before there has been op
portunity fr investigation, liut de
fended it against the attack of or
ganized labor as nothing arbitrary or
unjust, and the "justifiable safe
fiunrdins' by society of the necessary
princesses of its' very life."
Aside from recommendations for
the passage iif the Porlo Hico f!ov
ernment bill, Ihe corrupt practices
bill anil the Webb hill to legalize
American collective sellinsr aseneics
abroad, the president's address was
devoted wholly to the railroad situa
tion. The only feature which had not
been forecast was the elimination of
the proposal that congress give ex
plicit approval to consideration In
itio interstate commerce commission
of an increase in freight rates to
meet additional expenditure by the
railroads caused by Ihe operation of
the Adamson law.
ronimission Can Raise Hales.
Today the president took the posi
tion that "the power of the interstate
commerce commission to grant an in
crease of rates on the pround referr
ed to is indisputably celar and a rec
ommendation by Ihe. congress with
regard to such matter mielit seem to
draw in question the scope of the
commission's authority or ils inclin
ation to do justice when there is no
rensoii to doubt either."
The other recommendations on the
railroad situation made' in a special
message during the last session,
which were nol pui into law, were
renewed today. They include:
"Immediate provision for the en
largement and administrative reor
ganization of the interstate commerce
commission along the lines embodied
in t lie bill recently passed by the
house of representatives and now
awaiting qotiim by the senate: in or
der that the commission may be en
abled to deal with the manv great and

Reading of Message Made Occasion
for Great Demonstration Suf

Asking Stand on Suffrage Ap
i plause Resumed at Conclusion.
WASHINGTON', Pec. n. President
Wilson delivered his opening address
to congress today to ttie accompani
ment of a great demonstration of fe
licitation on his re-election in which
many republicans joined the demo
crats and the first approach at heckl
ing on the part of woman suffragists.
After house and senate bad stood
and cheered the president heartily
and be had begun the reading of his
address, some suffrage invaders la
a gallery dropped over the rail a
banner which they had smuggled in
with them in a handbag.
It was yellow, the suffrage color,
and bore in bold letters the Inscrip
tion; ".Mr. President, what will you
do for woman suffrage?"
Page SimU-lics lninner.
A page quickly snatched the ban
ner from iis place. The president
smilingly looked up from his manus
cript, but continued his reading
without hesitation or interruption.
There was no responsive demonstra
tion from suffrage supporters on the
floor or in the galleries.
The suffrage leaders gave out a
prepared statement explaining that
inasmuch as the president mado no
reference to their cause in bis ad
dress, they took that means of call
ing it to bis attention.
The president's address was de
voted principally to recommendations
for railroad legislation. It was brief
ami required less than Is minutes for
reading. No attempt was made to
detain the women as they left the
gallery. Capital police said they were
without orders to take any action, ex
cept to see that no further incidents
were attempted. After leaving the
gallery the militants were met by
sutrrage leaders and congratulated
upon the exploit.
lluimci Smuggled In.
The banner was smuggled into the
gallery in a handbag. .Mrs. Abbs
Scott Baker of the congressional
anion explained the. Incident as "ox
presslvo of the indignation that
women feel at the stupid and sense
less opposition to granting the right
of self-government to one-half the
people of the t'nlted States."
The suffragists represented Ihe
congressional union for woman suf
frage and were headed by .Miss Alice
Paul the chairman. .Members said
the flag had been put up by .Mrs.
John Itodgcrs of New York, .Mrs.
Florence llayard Hilles of Wilming
ton, Del., Mrs. William Colt of New
York, and .Mrs. Anna I.owenlierg of
Philadelphia. Mrs. Ilillis Is the
daughter of the former I'nited States
ambassador to (treat Britain.
As the president proceeded with
recommendations for other legisla
tion, the listening congress remained
silent. When the president concluded,
however, applause was renewed. The
suffragists who had dropped the ban
ner joined in it. The president fin
ish speaking at 1:18 and left the
house chamber to confer with Speak

tion that Premier Asquith could not
agree to the suggestion tiiat the war

LONDON, Dec, fi The Westmin

lias declined definitely a proposal for
the formation of a war council of
which he would not be a member, nnd
would have followed acceptance off
that proposal.. Xalurally the next;
move remains for those members of;
the cabinet who made the suggestion. I
Mr. Asquith approved a smaller
war council, the newspaper contin
ues, hut held the premier necessarily
must he chairman of any such body.
Ilis attitude is said to be supported
by Foreign Secretary Gray nnd most
of 1'is principal colleagues in the cab
inet. The Kvening Star says:
"The iolitiea! crisis is over, so far
as it is a trial of strength between
.Wjuitli and Lloyd-George. Asquith
has won. There will be no resignn-tion.-.
and a reconstruction of the
government will not take place. The
failure of the cabal was due to the
refusal of the labor party to support
it. They would not support Lloyd
George's plan on nny terms, and the
plan therefore failed.
