Robert Lansing divided $2,500,000 the attitude to be assumed by organ- ized railroad workers toward the anti-strike provision of the Cummins railroad bill. None of the brotherhood chiefs had arrived in Washington to- night and presidents of the other un- ions were reticent as to the action 10 be taken at the conference. The view was rather generally expressed. how- ever, that the railroad workers would adopt a declaration of principles in accord with the stand taken by the railway machinists’ union, which haye voted to strike if the mere drastic labor provisions of the Cummins bill are placed on the statute books. The first meeting will be held at 10.30 o'clock, when the members of the congressional conference committee on railroad legisiation begin to iron out differences.between the Cummins and Esch railroad reorganization bills as passed by the senate and house, respectively. Members of the com- mittee said tonight it was not to be expected that any definite action would be taken tomorrow. The question of an increase in the pay of shop empioyes, pressure for the settlement of which was postponed last fall at the suggestion of Presi- dent Wilson pending the government's efforts to reduce living costs, will come up at the conference which committees representing six shop trades plan to have ' during the day wit¥ Dirctor General Hines. SAYS WILSON IS ARROGANT IN HIS MESSAGES TO ITALY Rome, Saturday, Dec.. 27.—Senator Pulle, speaking in the senate today on the Adriatic question. asserted that President Wilson in his messages to Italy -had assumed an arrogant tone such as would not have been adopted in the last century toward a little principality. The senator, although an old man, participated in the war as an officer of Bersaglieri. He declared it was necessary for Italy to have Fiume and the Volosca gdistrict, besides the part of Dalmatia granted her by the pact of London, and said that Gabriel D’Annunzio, the Italian insurgent leader, had saved Flume. From'the moment Fiume became a Franco-Serbian military base, Senator the Italians saw the danger of losing the city, and there- fore, -means-for freeing it was impossible to do =0, however, either with loeal militia or volunteers. D'Annunzio understood that the only means was a recourse to regular troops, the speaker declared. Senator Pulle said that in Italy and much less abroad teh people did not understand the patriotic passion ex- ieting in Fiume and Dalmatia, which was assuming a dramatic and even a tragic character, as in the case of Count Nino De Fanfogna of Traun, who died broken-hearted after the failure of his dictatorship in that town. SECRET SERVICE GUARDS AT WEDDING OF MISS LOWDEN Chicago, Dec. 28.—Two secret ser- vice agents in formal dress attended the presentation lo society yesterday of Miss Harrlet Lowden, second daughetr of Governor and Mrs. Frank O. Lowden, as the result of the receipt by the governor of a threatening tet- ter, it was disclosed today. Postoffice inspectors believe the author of the threat was an anarchist. The governor took little notice of the letter except to turn it over to the postoffice department. It was recetved last Thursday by Mrs. Lowden's mother, Mrs. George M. Pullman, at whose residence her granddaughter’'s debut took place. The letter follows: “Mr. Governor—Your life will soon be taken. Ypou are mixing with the enemies of society—the plutocrats and the capitalistic class. This cannot continue. You will not have long to wait the time when you will pay the penalty.” ELLIS ISLAND CONGESTED WITH IMMIGRANTS New York, Dec. 28.—More than 3,000 immigrants were clemeoring at the gates of New York tonight for admis- sion into the United States. Ellis Island is conzested and many hun- dreds of the incoming passengers are being -detaired on board steamships for examination. Immigration inspectors and special boards of inquiry are werking day and night to relieve ‘the unprecedented conditions. In’ the meantime hundreds of friends and relatives of the detain- ed passengers from all over the coun- try are assembled here impatiently awaiting the release of the immi- grants. Police and coast guards are on duty at the plers and the Ellis Island ferry entrance to hold in check the crowds which gather at the gates daily. Sev- eral attempts have been made . by friends and relatives of the detained passengers to storm the plers in an Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA eifort to reach the ships. They cannot understand the delay and fear their triends are to be deported. Immigration officials claim that work is delayed to a large extent on Ellis Island because of the congestion there due to the detention of a large number of radicals and undesirables being held for deportation.
