" PRESIDENT DENES ONON CHEFS D Says Interference in Railroad Dispute Would Be “Mani- festly Unwise.” RELIES ON WAGE BOARD Sends Reply to Wage Adjusters and Interstate Commerce Commis- sion for Consideration.

At the same tlnl\,e he refused the men's request to sub- mit the matter to Congress. 1 His position was set forth in a tel- egram addressed jointly to two of the railway labor unions and to _the AS?:- Giation of Railway Executives, who also had sent a communication to the Vhi House. “'rl!h(: President’s h:legram_follows: “I ‘have carefully considered the several telegrams addressed to me dealing with the labor questions an railroad management now under con- sideration by the Railroad Labor in Chicago. 2 qu{:el‘r;.mnspnrlalion act approved February 28 1920, to a_gr?a_ler L‘x.le‘nt than any previous legislation. pldl‘es all questions dealing with finances and railroad management and neces, sary rates under the Jjurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission; hence all questions involving the exc pense of operation, the necessities o the railroads and the amount of moni ey necessary to secure the SHCCessfr\ll operation thereof are now under the Jurisdiotion of the commisssion.

Northwest PUSH BILL TO GIVE JAPANESE WOMEN ACCESS TO POLITICS TOKIO, February 5—What is regarded as a historic step toward the emancipation of Japanese women has been taken by the house of representatives in the disgussion of a bill aiming at the nullification of the law prohibit- ing women from joining political associations or attending political meetings. The bill_has the sup- port of members of all the par- ties. The extension of woman's rights in the Upited States is believed to have considerably accelerated the Japanese movement, the lead- ers of which have been carrying on a vigorous campaign among the politicians. That progress has" been made was testified to by a warm address in advocacy of the bill signed by thousands of wom- en and presented in the chamber, asserting that it was a sérious in- justice to deny women access to political knowledge and political activity, and that the present law was incompatible with the spirit of the times. “To make women better wives and mothers,” the address declared “abolition of the regulation is imperative.” The bill was referrd to commit- tee. Executives is understood to have been based on recommendations of Secre- tary of Interior Payne, who still acts as director general of the railroad ad- ministration. Raill Heads Gratified. CHICAGy, February 6.—Thomas De- Witt Cuyler, chairman of the Asso- ciation of Railway Executives, to- night replied to President Wilson's telegram on the railroad situation by telegraphing the chief executive that the railroads were gratified that he had seen fit to refer the questions in- volved to the Inte ate Commerce Commission and Railway Labor Board. The railway labor unions deferred comment on President Wilson's tele- gram until tomorrow, several of the chief executives of the unions being out of the city tonight. Mr. - Cuyler’s telegram to President Wilson said, in part: “Your_conclusion that the United States Railway Labor Board is the ap- propriate body to settle the question now properly before it, and that the Interstate Commerce Commission is the appropriate body to settle any other questions regarding the re- sponsibility of the railroad companies for the character of their operations is, in_our judgment, the sound and proper conclusion. ~We appreciate your promoting the cause of orderly procedure by the position which you have taken.” i MASONS TO GATHER HERE.

Mr. Lomen predicts the industry, as now started and if properly fostered, will, within the next fifteen years, exceed in value the gold and fisheries industries of the great northern ter-! ritory. ' Reindeer Blessing to Natives. ‘The reindeer is an important do- mesticated animal.” Mr. Lomen said, “not only as a food product, but for driving and hauling. Its introduction in the far north has been a godsend to the natives of that section. “From an originally imported herd of 171 animals, the reindeer have in- crcased to more than 200,000, despite the fact that more than 100.000 have been butchered for food and skins. “In the next decade Alaska will range more than 1,000,000, almost double the present total herds in Norway. Sweden and Finland com- bined. "Of the total number mow in a 70 per cent are owned by na- quimaux and the remainder the United States government, two corporations and private individ- uals’” When asked how the reindeer mna(, compares with other meats, Mr. Lo- men said: “I' can answer that by quoting a_gentleman living in Wash- ington who has eaten it, who Said: ‘Tt has the juiciness of beef. the deli- cacy and tenderncss of venison.'
