DAY WITH LOWERWACES SAY THAT PRESIDENT WILSON' HAS NOT GIVEN A FAIR HEAR ING. 'MATTER MAY BE . SETTLED TODAY. Washington, Aug. 14. ? Negotia tion*. settling the threatened railroad strike, wont into final stage* today. The succeas or failure of President Wilson's efforts may be written be luSommitVee of 7ifl Way execu tives, who for the last three days have been wrestling with the elght hour-a-day problem, met with the executives this morning in the hope of reaching a conclusion before ad journing. They are expected to lay the final answer before Mr. Wilson this afternoon. The railroad executives are said to have agreed that there. Is no other way to meet the crisis than to grant the eight-hour day principle. They declared their general willingness to grant the eight-hoi^ day, but not with the same wage that la now paid for ten hours. That would mean a twenly per cent increase in the wage scale. they claim. "If the brother- 1 hoods are willing to work eight hours for a just day's pay. this controversy would be settled In twenty minutes." declared (he President of the 8ante Fe today. HitUiOioQ Serioun. "Since midnight, the altuation has taken a change for the worse. The! situation Is very serious,*' was the. statement made by one of the execu tives as the conference with Presi- j dent Wilson began. The President's course in "striking down the prin ciple' of an Impartial henr|jig." threatens to" work greater permanent injury than "multiform and conflict ing freight regulations," said Wal ter D. Hlnes, of the Santa Fe. this afternoon. Hinea declared that the President, without a hearing, had decided It Just that the railroads pay $50. 000. 000 to the trainmen through' grant ing an eight-hour day. One striking feature of the case, he said, was that the President's course establishes the proposition that Labor may com bine to stop interstate commerce- un lesk their demands are granted, and that in such cases, the President's course seems, to be to "make up his own mind without a hearing i| to the concessions that he would force the employers to make."

WIM-COX. Chairman of the Republican National Committee. v One of the chief reasons why the Wilson administration is going to bo repudiated at the polls ou November 7 is that the American people are tired of being humbugged. P. T. Bar nnm was partly right and partly wrong when he said that the Ameri can people enjoy being humbugged. They do enjoy a little of it when it is not too publicly done and when the consequences are not too serious. But they object emphatically when the humbugginfl is really detrimental to important interests, or when it is lon^ continued, or is accomplished so cltunsDy that all the world knows about it. Yet, that is exactly what the Wil son administration is trying to do. Its chief policy has been pretence. The principal record of the Demo cratic party under {he leadership of j -MvrjHttiomfc.ta joafof pretence.. And| the Democratic campaign for the re-j election of Mr. Wilson is chiefly pre- 1 tence. Before he went Into the Presiden cy, Mr. Wilaon pretended that he was paling to do and be a number of 'hlngs which he has not done ot4 been. For instance, he was going to show what faithful performance of campaign pledges and platform promises really was. "Our platform Is not molasses to catch flics." he said. It was no trap for unwary vot ers; It was a series of real, sure enough, binding pledges. While Mr. Wilson wa? uttering his public pretence four years ago about the non-molasses 'character of his platform, he was also circulat ing another pertenco about being In favor of publicity for all government affairs. . "PltJlena publicity" was a favorite phrase of hlB. But at that very time he was se cretly eliminating from the Demo cratic platform at loast one plank ? that binding him. if elected, not toj be a candidate for another term;! Since Mr. Wilson took up his real-1 dence In the White House there has bpen no Democratic mention of the one-term plank in his platform ex cept by Wi:**m J. Bryan, who de nounced as "worse than an embez zler" the man who violated a plat form pledge. Mr. Wilson and his Democratic supporters pretended that they were going to reduce the high cost of liv ing by reducing the torlff. They pre tended that they were going to reduce the tariff lp a scientific way. so as not to injtfre business. They did re duce the tariff, . there Is no pretenc^ about that ? but lnalich 1i w*y that It stoppdl tnnny lines or Industry, shut dowtttfeores of -mills and factor ies and threw thousands of men out , of work without reducing the cost of living one cent anywhere. The Democrats Imve pretended that they were for econonfy afcd have' appropriated nearly she hundred mil lion dollars mors at this session of Congress than was ever before ap propriated evqn by a Democrat!* Congress Thes* are only a few of the num erous pretences of Mr. Wilson and the Democrat*. They are maklhg a campaign of pretence In the effort to reelect an administration of pretence. RUSSIANS WIN IN IMPOflM VICTORY % ,(UT Uoltad Pran) Patrofrad. Ant. 14 Th? Rua alana dafaatad 10.

Dear sir; | I read an.artide in the DaUy New,: a few days ago. which was signed "A J Patron." The writer objected to the |Chanpe in school hours and expreBH ied himself hh favoring\the present hours, which only allow the children ' twenty minutes for lunch and pre- ' vents them from going home at noon, j Of course there are several chil dren who live so far from the school ' house thai It would be Impossible for i them to go home for lunch, even if two hours were allowed. But Just ' the same. 1 think that a change would be advisable, and I dQ not think that It would work a hardsmfc upon anyone. It Is ner.esBary that the children have enough time to eat their food properly. They have to work Just as hard ? In proportion ? as a doctor, lawyer or business man. and protf ably harder than some of those I think It is only right that they should be allowed an hour for lunch and I slpcerely hope, that' fhe board of pchool trustees will see to It that the change Is Ainde thl? fall.

McOORMICK, Chairman of the Democratic National rommlttM. j | That Mr. Chatics K. Hughes is facing a nation-wide revolt of the Progressives'" a' announced by the Philadelphia. North American. th< leaning Progresnive organ of the East, Is one of the most logical events of the campaign. I Mr. Hughes is not a Progressive never has been a Progressive, and. by reason of his mental make-up. his traditional outlook upnn life, no: to mention his obligations to his re actionary political sponsors, neves lean be a Progressive. In the present campaign he has bitterly disappointed the Progressiv es who tentatively ucceptcd his can didaoy in the hope and expectation that he would develop along Progres sive lines and justify their support. He has ehosen. instead, to pose ex clusively the candidate of the atandpat element that nominated him. and has confined bis reference? to Progressives by Expressing thf hope that they would *ote the Repub lican ticket, or, as in the California incident, by refusing them any recog nition whatever and nnnnuncing that he came to that State as "the snokes ninn of the National Republican Party." In this respect, he in the antithe sis of hip opponent. President Wilson who. an an educator and public offl : cla'. hap been in constant touch with public opinion Tor many years, und has been not only responsive lo It. but has hewu its preatt-Bt modern in terpreter. Thus It was that Presi dent Wilson became the country's I leading progressive Democrat, and fhus It was that many more progres l*i ve measures of legislation have l been passed by the Republican par , ty since the administration of Lin coln. There is nothing Illogical, howev er. in Mr. Hughes' attitude toward [the Progressives. Only a man who la In touch with public opinion and who is responsive to it can ho truly progressive. Mr Hughes hj?s been out of touch with public opinion for six years. U, indeed, he was ever in toiirh with it. nnd it is now too late in the campaign to get in touch with it at partisan meetings. The recognition of these farm. a* well as the complete failure of Mr. Hughes to develop progressive ten denrelf. are TKe reasons why the Progressiva are deserting Mr. Hughct; and hi* reactionary sponsors and turning to the support of Wood row Wilson in numbers that prom ise to Include not only a substantial majority of that party as st present constituted, hut a large number of Progressives who hsd returned to t.he Republican party In the mistaken belief that It would profit by Its experience of 1912 snd give proper I recognition to th* Progressive ele li.iont, through which only It might I hope for regeneration and ralvation Mr. Hughes hns not only felled toi reunite the Progressives with the' Republicans, but, at this writing, his partisan Republican attitude and his failure to respond to Progressive sentiment promise In but tittle leas d^fcre? a renewal of the revolt of the Progressives In 1?12. which left the Republican party in control only of | the 8tates of Utah and Vermont.
