rises. Including tha Illinois Central, will
become a reality at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning, unless the men. who have twice
voted to strike refuse to obey the order
sent out today by the president of the
five unions directly Involved.
The president say the men hare not
weakened In their desire to force the rail
roads to recognise their newly established
Federation of Shop Employes by means
of a strike and that more than 90 per
cent of the men will quit work. The
Cght, they say, la likely to prove long
drawn out.
The railroads, on the other hand, aay
the worker do not want to strike, that
they have been forced Into their position
by the union leaders and that a treat
majority will refuse to leave their work
when the hour is reached.
The railroads are in good shape to
stand a strike right now, according to
officials. A retrenchment order recently
Issued reduced the number of employes
nearly IS per eent and there is a suf
ficient number of idle men in all crafts
to permit the roads to keep their shops
funning even if all the men go out.
This ae made by President Kline of
the blacksmiths' union, who said the men
the railroads are counting on to fill the
strikers' places are men who were laid, off
recently and who are union men and
would refuse to work during a strike.
Order Follows fousaltatloa.
The strike order came after a consulta
tion over the long distance telephone be
. tween Presidents Kline. Ryan of the car
men and Franklin of the boilertnakers In
Kiniti City and O'Connell of the ma

Fisher Discusses
Bristow's Speech
CHICAGO. Sept. 2? -Walter L. Fisher,
secretary of the interior, returned here
today after a l,0C-mll trip of lnspee
tion In Alaska, and explained the mean
Ing of his fpeech on progressives at
Hutchinson. Kan. and denied any disa
greement with Senator Brtrtow.
"I described two classes of spurious
progressives." he ssid. "ar.d said the real
progressive was neither the demagogic
agitator nor the hypocrite who ta ks of
progress, but opposes every political pro.
gressive measure. I left there shoes to
be worn bv any man in Kansas, or else
where, whose fret they fit.
"The crow d applauded when I said tha:
the true progressive would go where the
president had ra d he lr.tended ta j-o
down the middle of the road, straight
for the goal. I was particularly pleased
when Senator Bristow told the audience
he was g!d I was present, because he
liked the way I talked.
"Personally I was as much pleased with
the senator's remarks about conceding
honest differences of opinion as Be said
he was with my remarks about progres
sives. A tittle mutual recognition of the
honesty of some such differences may
bring all real progressives together in the
middle of the road."
Cameron's Condition
Remains Unchanged
The eonlltlon of Corporal James C
Cameron, who wae stabbed Tuesday after
noon by Private Arthur Cooper of Com
pany B. Second rertment. Nebraska Na
tional guards, continues unchanged and
attending surgeons can express no as
surance of the ultimate recovery of the
young guardsman until the mounds begin
to heal. The emergency treatment by
the surgeons in the regiment was ad
ministered without ' an antiseptic, and
there la now fear that the wound Is in
fected ar.d that It will require a hard
and skilHui battle to avert blood poison
ing.
No action will be started against Cooper
until Cameron has passed the crisis and
the outcome of the affair is known. How.
ever, he will be kept under .close military
guard until disposition of the matter is
finally left either with the military or
civil authorities.
There were many witnesses to tha stab.
bing and these have opinions of thlr ooii
regarding the Justifiability of the deed.
"Cameron was to blame." Cooper was
st fault." are statements made by mem
bera of Company B. and the various "views
cannot be reconciled. There are varied
opinions on the spirit In which the stab
bing was done. Cooper Is grief stricken
and his friends assert, "ft was the drink
and not Cooper" that caused' the young
man to suddenly drsw his knife and stab
his fellow guardsman.

DES MOINES Sept. 3D. President Taft
received a welcome from many thousands
of the citizens of Des Moines this morn
ing when he began the second day of
his Iowa tour. Senator Cummins, the
progressive leader, who was conspicu
ously absent from the state reception
committee yesterday, was on hand bright
and early today and greeted Mr. Taft
at his train.
During the automobile parade, which
was a part of tbe local program. Sen
ator Cummins rode in the same automo
bile with former Senator Lafayette Young
from the "standpat" wing of the party.
Dea Moines wanted to make the presi
dent's reception "nonpartisan.''
Senator Cummins' automobile shared
generously in the applause from the
street throngs as the presidential parade
passed along.
Mr. Taft s principal address at the Coli
seum was devoted to the peace treaties.
.The big crowd in the building broke
into-applause when he Miaousjeed hla sub?-
ject and he waa treauently interrupted
by them. r
The audience had first shown Its friend
liness by vigorously applauding Governor
Carroll, when ho introduced Mr. Taft as
"the president whose administration we
appreciate, whose comprehension of pub
lic questions la as broad as tha needs of
tbe land, and whose courage to do right
Is measured only by the limit ot human
ability."
Senator Cummins frequently Joined in
the applause which marked tbe presi
dents appeal tor support of the arbitra
tion treaties. Mr. Taft thanked Governor
Carroll and the people of Iowa for their
cordial reception to him.
la formal Debate with Caossntas. '
On the wsy from the coliseum President
Taft and Senator Cummins had a sort
of informal Joint debate on the subject
ot the pending treaties. Senator Cum
mins pointed out a number of provisions
which he thought should be altered. One
of these was to make more definite the
provisions as to the personnel of the high
joint commission and to provide for the
confirmation of the American representa
tives by the senate.
The senator said tbe treaties did not
make it obligatory on the president to
appoint American eitiiens on the commis
sion. President Taft said he thought that was
clearly understood, but he was v.illuig
to have it specifically stated.
Senator Cummins also said he insisted
on the treaties being debated In open
session of the senate.
'I'm with you on that," said the presi
dent. fenstor Cummins said he had sot
favored either tha majority report of the
foreign relations committee against tin
treaties or the views of the minority in
favor of them.
"Isn't that generally the case; don't
you usually take a position of your own r
laughed the president, throwing his arm
about the senator's snouidsr.
The senator assented.
The presidential special left for Albla
at 11-66 o'clock.
Rides Over City.
Following the breakfast at the Grant
club the entertainment provided for the
visitors consisted of an automobile ride
through the business and residence dis
tricts of the city which were decorated
lor the occasion. Including a trip to the
Iowa s.sie capltol building.
The coon of the colibeuui, wi.ere me .

scheduled to leave Des Moines at 11.5a
a- m. for Albta and Intermediate points J
Ottumwa was the objective point, where
the final speech waa to be delivered by
the president before his departure for
Missouri.
At breakfast Senator Cummins sat four
seats from the president, but made sev
eral tripa to Mr. Taft'S place and the two
talked and laughed for several minutes.
The president was Introduced by
Lafayette Toung. Jr. "Ralph Waldo Em
erson." said Mr. Toung, "declared that to
be great Is to he misunderstood. Pres
ident Taft can claim greatness In Iowa."
Mr. Toung wss loudly applauded when
he praised Mr. Taft for his vetoes ot the

There la an undisguised feeling of Joy
and tatlr taction around the Union Pacific
headquarters in this city oh account ot
the Information brought from New fork
City by the Associated Press, announcing
the fact that A. L Mohler. vice president
and general manager of the system, has
been promoted to the position of president
of the Union Pacific, the parent line, and
the subsidiary lines, including the Oregon
Short Line, the Oregon Railway A Navi

The follow ing reply was received to the
inseage of congratulation sent by David
Cole, president of the Omaha Commercial
club:
NEW YORK. Sept 29.-Davld Cole.

Omaha, Neb.: Your congratulatory mes
sage received, and further stimulates me
in co-operating for tbe upbuilding of the

eerdal and corporate Interests which go
far to make tor or unmake prosperity.
You will find our officials fully lespon-(-ive
to do their share In maintaining and
increasing co-operative harmonious con
ditions A L. MOHLER.
The opinion pev.!.il.-i among iaiiraU
men that Mr. Mohler will be president
in fact and that hla new position win net
consist merely of the title. It ta agreed
that unleas he had been given this power,
he would never have accepted.
The appointment of Mr. Mohler as
president of the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Line gives the Union Pacific sys
tem the preslage and importance that it
enjoyed years ago, prior to the receiver
ship, subsequently followed by the pur-cliu.-e
iv liarrunan and the merter.
Adding the Short Line to Mr. Mahler's
Jurisdiction as president gives him execu
tive authority over T.17S miles ot road, in
cluding the main line of the Union Pacific
from Omaha to Granger, the main line of
the Union Pacific from Ksnsss City to
