LEADERS TO FIGHT SOME PROPOSED LEGISLATION American Federation of Labor Would Have Government Loan Postal Savings Funds. (By Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 20. While it was insisted they came only to "pay their respects" the heads of the fair great railway brotherhoods . made an en gagement at the White House today to confer with President Wilson late in the afternoon. It wtis expected the 8-hour day fight and probably tha plan for co-operation f the brother hoods with the American Federation of Labor in the fight would be dis cussed, if only briefly. The leaders will see the President at 5:45 p. m. and at 6 the President will confer with Representative A damson, author of the 8-hour law and vice-chairman of the joint' com mittee which began an investigation of the railroad situation today. In the President's address to Con gress next month he will make recom mendation for the remainder of leg islative program which was unfinish ed when Congress adjourned. The Drotheihc.xl leaders oppose that part of legislation which proposes an in vestigation for controversies before a strike or lockout1 is permitted. Ths American Federation of Labor also has g.ne on record against the rec ommendation. f'laus for co-ordination of effort between the Federation and four railway brotherhoods for an 8-hour day fight is said to have been formu lated at a conference yesterday. The Brotherhood heads were to address the Federation in Baltimore tomor row, it was said. President Gompers refused- to discuss the subject on the ground that it was to come before the convention. Government officials interested in the congressional investigation of the 8-hour railroad law believe the labor leaders plan has been formulated to meet a movement on the part of em ployers to band together to fight the law. Till , plans are fully disclosed the legislative program of the ad ministration will be not fully shaped . but it is admitted the action of the labor leaders will have a bearing on it. .'

Y a distance by railroad of about 660 miles, bettering by about 100 miles the record made by Victor Carlstrom on November 2. A delayed start, and a crosswind that cut down her speed and forced her to descend tj replenish the gaso line supply were responsible for her failure to reach New, York City,, Miss Law said, after her arrival at Bing hamton this afternoon at 4:20 o'clock. Previous to today, Miss Law had never made a single flight longer thn 25 miles. Her machine, a small bi plane, has a supread of wings1 less than half that of the one Carlstrcm used. V Miss Law covered a distance of about 675 miles in six hours and fifty minutes, time being deducted for the decent at Hornell. ' The first 662 miles, the distance by rail between Chicago and Hornell, was made with cut a stop. M iss Law left Chicago at 8:25 a. m.

He Bpoke at the morning service in the Commu nity building on "The Extra Mile in Life" basins his theme on "whosoevsr shall compel you to go a mile go two." He described the first mile compelled one pressure of the law. The first one was enforced "might makes rieht." It takes the body just a mile, no mere no less. What we do because compelled no matter what, gets us, no. where. When the first mile has been trav elled the Spirit of Jesus still says, "What do ye more than others? But the second g:ves a sense of liberty, freedom, being a gift, a tri bute, to friendship, .slhwship, hu man brotherhood, in this extra mile wl have the Goapel of Jesus Chrht. It is the Jesus way.

Ii Governor of the Panama Canal Zone in Hia Report Makes Sharp Reply to Some "Unfair" Criticism Made. Washington, Nov. 19. Sharp lan guage is employed by Major General George W. Goethals, Governor of the Panama Canal Zone, in replying to published criticisms of the tig wa terway which he charges have seri ously affected its commercial rating In his annual report, ma'e public by the War Department, the Governor declares that the earth movements which have frequntly interrupted traffic will te overcome for all time. ! General Goethals goes into a longthyi review of the ' geological problems which have been encounter ed, of the steps taken to overcome such obstacles and the measure of success attained. So far as the Cule-i bra cut is concerned, he said, "the worst is over, the interval 'between movements are becoming greater and the quantities of material less." The report replies to the published statements of Professor Benjamin Le Roy Miller, of Lehigh University, and former Senator Thomas Kearns, of Utah. The charges made in each case General Goethals brands as "erron eous, unwarranted and unfair." It is shown in the report that during a part'of the fiscal year 1916 during which the canal was opened. 411 ves sels yassei from the Atlantic to the Pacific and 36 ii the other direction. Of all these, only n were engaged in the American coast-wise trade. The totai cargo tonnage handled was 3,140,046 as a?wint 4,969,792 the preceding year, although the wa terway was in operation for only five months last year.: Commehting un on the reduction in coastwise traffic ?hown, ! however,, the report says' it was due principally to the scarcity of shius for foreien trade which drew American coastinjr vessels into that service. iPifftWlties of the , r.rient svttem ef levvinT tolls( are cited and: Gener al Goethals f a gt in reconvnendei: that legislation ' 'sought . making the earning tenacity of a shro the basis upon which charges' shouliLti com puted..
