The workmen and their families repeatedly applauded the president, who shook hands with many. Alluding to the shoe company's action in effecting an eight-hour day as an indication of a spirit which di minished feeling between capital and labor, the president said: "I want to express my regret that I was not able to be here last Satur day to celebrate what I think was a very significant thing, the action of the firm of Endicott, Johnson & Co., in giving its employes eight hours, not only for the reasons that are generally given, but also for better reasons, because they regard men and all their employes as members of the same business family with them.

United States Policy Unchanged. Washington, Nov. 1. Secretary Lansing authorized a formal state ment today that the progress of the political campaign would in "no way affect the investigation of submarine attacks and that there had been no change in the United States' govern ment's policy. Meanwhile Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, sent a wire less dispatch to his government ask ing that he be furnished immediately by wireless with all the details availa ble regarding the sinking of the Marina. Secretary Lansing's statement! fol lows: "The fact that a political campaign is in progress will in no way affect the practice of the department in ne gotiating and in making full investi gation of cases of this sort. We shall do it as we always have, with as much celerity as possible, "I wish also to make another state ment on a matter which has been brought to my attention. The ques tion has been raised as to whether the policy of the president or the depart ment in regard to submarine warfare since the Sussex .was sunk has been changed. I wish to say emphatically that there has been no change in any particular." Awaits Word from Oertnony. ' Secretary Lansing made it plain, also, that no decisive action would be taken until Germany had had oppor tunity to reply to the inquiry for its version of the attacks on the Marina and Rowanmore. The instructions sent to the embassy at Berlin were said to ask for an investigation by Germany and not for an explanation. It was not meant to indicate that the United States believed that it had any proof that Germany had violated its pledges. The question of whether the Mar ina was armed is becoming increas ingly important. No mention of that has been made in advices so far re ceived and the embassy in London has asked for information on the point. Germany, has Contended that ships armed., even with a small stern Run for defense only, should not be. enti tled to the ordinary guarantees,' but could be sunk- on signt as oeing prac tically naval auxiliaries. The fact that England has been arming more and more of its mer chantmen has made the question a vital one in Germany's consideration of a wider submarine' campaign. Officials here leave no doubt that the United States will not admit such a contentioh by Germany. Th tilA Onlv RaaI Piemei in Dowries Countv tor Whom the people can vote at the November 7 eleetlon.
