CHICKENS AND BIRDS, TOO 0 ttSHteitJ rX !EISISISNEAR. IN THE RAILROAD WAGEQUESTION (Cwnttanod lYsas Pace One.) would accent the nrinciole of an eight-hour day and leave the working out of its application to the Inter state Commerce commission or some body formed tor the purpose. Secretary Tumulty issued the fol lowing statement: I he president spent an hour and half this morning with the repre sentatives of the .railway managers. After the conference he said that it was impossible as vet to report on the results; all that he could say was that a very candid and honest discus sion was in progress about practica- dic oases 01 settlement Plan May Not Be Feasible. Whether this plan can be worked out will not be known until President Wilson presents it to the brotherhod leaders. The railroads are under stood to be ready to concede the prin ciple of the eight-hour day, providing concessions be made by the employes so too heavy a burden will not be placed upon the railroads. The men take the stand that they principally want the eight-hour day on conditions that it shall be enforced whenever possible. The railroads are said to believe it impossible to ac cept the eight-hour day unless a work able system of application can be built up. Members of the managers' committee said they had no plans for the future and did not know whether they would be called to the White House again. The managers took the position that the eight-hour day and the col lateral issues are inseparable and that it would not be practicable to accept the eight-hour day and submit the other question to arbitrati ji. Representatives of the brother hoods heard of the proposal with in terest but insisted, however, that the proposition was not a new one. None ot tne orotnernooo oinciais would commit himielf on what the at titude of the employes would be to ward such a proposal, but they did not appear optimistic over the likeli hood of it proving acceptable. It was pointed out by the, em ployes' representatives, however, that if such a proposition were tendered in concrete form to them they could onlv refer it to the general board. composed of 600 committee chairmen, now in wew Tork. Evade Queationera. After an hour and a half of con ference with the president the mana- Sers' committee left the White House y a side door, hoping to evade ques tioners. ; Elisha Lee, the chairman, said: . "We are entirely in the president s hands and have agreed with him that he will make any statement" While the managers were at the White House, the brotherhood lead ers conferred among themselves and awaited the call for their conference. The general opinion among them was that the president was putting the burden of averting a strike up to the railroads and that the prospects for a settlement were good. Having agreed practically to the principle of arbitration, the brotherhood lead ers inclined to the view that the con troversy could be settled by the rail road granting tha basic eight-hour day abd arbitrating tha demands for time and a half for over time; or bjr eliminating tha double compensa tion features and having the railroads make a flat agreement to put in the eight-hour day. Tha attitude of the managers as ther went to the White House was saiu to oe one. 01 yieioing some thing. , make no appeal whatever, but it is extremely difficult to find anyone ut terly lacking in musical instinct. "Therefore I claim that the great art of music is the one solid ground for a true internationalism, tne one realm in which matters of politics, of commercialism or of petty hostility can be transcended. For if we do not find concord and harmony in music, where on earth is it to be sought? BRITISH RETAKE LOSTTRENCHES Nearly All Positions Lost to Germans in Sunday's fight ing Are Regained. .

Colo., Aug. 15. A wide range of labor topics are dealt with in the annual report of John McLennan, president of the Colorado State Federation of Labor, submitted to the convention of the federation here today. The so-called "Rockefeller Indus trial plan," adopted by the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, is declared to be an "unqualified failure." The Industrial commission and workmen's compensation laws of - Colorado are severely criticised in some respects and praised in others. Conditions in the coal mining fields are reviewed and a glowing report is given of the growth of unionism in the state and legislation deemed necessary is out lined. K Generally, the report savs. better feeling appears to prevail between employer and employe in the state and in the coal fields improvements noted are credited to the results of the strike of 1913-1914. Reviewing the so-called Rockefeller Industrial plan, President McLennan says: i his plan has been advertised as a cure-all for labor's ills; but it has in reality failed to cure anything.

Dog That Bit Little Tots Has the Rabies The head of the doe- which bit little Jeanette Mehr, S years old, and her baby sister Beatrice, 18 months old, Sunday afternoon, was recovered at the dog pound Monday afternoon by Police Surgeon Philbrick and Dr. Nicholas W. Wohl, pathologist and bacteriologist, at the Nicholas Senn hospital, who examined it and found the dog to have been affected with rabies. Dr. Wohl will give the chil dren the Pasteur treatment as a precaution. Dr. Wohl savs that it is unwise to kill the dog which is suspected of rabies. A better method is to oonfine it so that it can do no more harm and observe it for four days. If at the end of that time the animal is still alive it is not affected with rabies. workman something which would make them imagine they were being organized. The plan is an unauali- fied failure from every standpoint but i iirta given inc capitalistic press agents a chance to talk, write and print. "The real substance of this plan is that the employer herds his men together, keeps tab on each, tells them when, where and how to meet; attends their meetings ano overawes them with his presente.
