Wil- liam Jennings Bryan led’ the ‘prohibi- tion forces.‘ His principle opponent. was Samuel Gompers, president of the American’ Federation of Labor, who was seconded by former ‘United States Senator Bafley, of Texas. There were many other speakers less widely. known. , Decision Not Public.

Mr, Gompers asserted that in the present crisis the peoples .of the country had enough to do in the fighting line by. opposing the central powers, and that their attention from this most important subject should not “a diverted by any measure: less vital, h ROAD HEAD JS | ARRESTED FOR DISLOYALTY Superintendent of M.

Not: Practical, Method Claim. While stating his readiness to ac- cept the president’s four fundamental principles for a:.basis .of.-peace, the German chancellor dismissed them as idealistic and unworkable by insisting that they must depend for their ap- plication upon the Yestization of con- ditions ‘which cannot be met. In the official view his treatment of the sub- ject’ was ironical and designed for very different ends than the advance- ment of’ peace. f No'Comment Expected. There will be no immediate formal comment upon this latest contribution to the debate on war aims and peace aspirations. ,Experience has . taught officials that,important qualifications. are to be found usually in the full text of the speeches of the spokesmen of the central powers. Wilson Knew Subtlety. Attention was directed by officials to President Wilson’s former character: ization of the German chancellor's ut- terances as. “very vague and confus- ing,” and it was said that the presi- dent’s comment had a peculiarly ap- vropriate application. to the.speech of yesterday, in which Von Hertling sig- nified his fundamental agreement with President Wilson’s four principles. President Wilson’ in his last ad- dress to congress. said of the -chan- cellor’s speech delivered a few days before: . “His discussion and acceptance of our general principles lead him to no practicable conclusions. He refuses to apply them to the substantial items which must constitute the body of any final settlement,” , DISASTROUS, ~ TOWNLEY SAYS Seed Grain Bill Failure More Det- rimental.

Alfred D. Flinn, appearine_for the United Engineering Society, asked the commission to consider professional engineers in- any increases recom- mended. Negroes Migrate to North Negro employes on railroads in the south were said by J. W. Williams, ‘Alonzo Jones and H. G.

His message asked in- creased wages and an eight hour day for sta‘ionary engineers.

The witness explain: however, that if the arbitrator's find- ing was for a basic eight hour day the inference would be that the -hours are'too long for the men ‘to work. An actual eight hour day,-he said, would seriously interfere with the efforts of the packers to meet the, government's and country’s needs during the .war. Says Wages are Higher.
