HOOVER LEADS IN
DEMOCRATIC POLL
IN MINNESOTA
i
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
628 Riggs Building.
BY THEODOBE TILLER
j WASHINGTON, D. C. Poli*
i ticians here regarded with v.n
--| usual interest publication of a poll
! conducted by a St. Paul, Minn.,
j newspaper to sound out political sen
i tirnent in that state in both parties.
[ The significant feature of the poll is
! the showing that Herbert Hoover, al-
I though he has neither announced
himself as a candidate for president
nor said with which political party
he would affiliate, led the Democratic
poll in Minnesota.
This would seem to dispose of the
claim that Mr. Hoover is unpopular
with the wheat farmers of the mia
i die west and northwest. Minnesota
‘ is one of the greatest wheat-grow
ng states in the union, but Mr,
loovor leads in the Democratic poll,
leneral* Wood led the Republicans,
The number of votes cast in the
.oil was small, because it was con
..ned to editors, political leaders and
members of the legislature of Min
nesota. However, it may be safely
' assumfed that these classes of straw
! voters have their ears close to tho
■ ground and are better qualified than
1 any other to know what the rank and
tile of folks are thinking.
The Washington impression that the
grain farmers of the west are op
posed to Mr. Hoover is due largely
o the attitude of Senator Gronna,
jf North Dakota, chairman’ of the
senate commitee on agriculure, and
himself a wheat farmer. Mr. Gronna
has a resolution pending to abolish
the grain corporation, headed by
Julius Barnes, of Duluth, Minn., who
was called to government service by
Mr. Hoover. In various attacks on
the senate floor, Mr. Gronna has
complained that the minim m price
guarantee of $2.2(1 for wheat has
been made virtually a maximum
price and he lays responsibility prin
cipally upon Mr. Hoover, Mr. Barnes
and the grain corporation. Senator
Gronna also has complained bitterly
of the car shortage, which he some-
J how links up with the grain cor
‘ poration.
* Now comes the Minnesota poll in
dicating there is a slip-up in the
I Gronna calculations.

IS PROVIDED FOR IN
CONFERENCE REPORT
WASHINGTON.—Upon the signing
this week of the final compromise
agreement, on legislation for the re
turn of the railroads to private ow-
I nership, two movements for the set
tlement. of the railway wage dispute
will be under way. Coincident
with the announcement that the
house and senate conferees prac
tically had re-drafted the labor sec
tion of the till so as to provide for
compulsory arbitration, Director Gen
eral Hines sent a request to Presi
dent Cuyler, of the Association of
Railway Executives, for a conference
here with him of a committee repre
senting the railroad corporation
heads to discuss President Wilson’s
proposal for the creation of a joint
• commission to hear the union em
ployes’ demands.
The railroad legislation as agreed
to was redrafted so as to meet such
labor troubles as developed recently
through the -wage demands of the
employes’ brotherhoods. Instead of
a federal board of five appointed by
the president to deal finally with
wage disputes, the provision as re
written would create a board of nine
members, whose decisions would be
binding. This commission or board
also would be appointed by the pres
ident, but would consist of three
members representing each the em
ploy®® and the executives and three
representing the public.
The re-drafted provision was sub
mitted to Director General Hines and
was said in principle to meet his
views • Efforts will be made in both
branches of congress to expedite pas
sage of the bill so that the return
of the roads March 1 will be gov
erned by a fixed legislative policy.
At the conference Mr. Hines will
have with the railroad officials
he will seek to learn their attitude
toward President Wilson’s plan for
settlement of the wage controversy
in event the arbitration machinery
proposed in the reorganization bill
fails to become law. The general
convention of union representatives
will be held here next Monday, and
Mr. Hines hoped to have his con
ference with the officials before that,
dale.
The conference report creates
a railway board of labor ’ap
peals and allows the formation of
railway adjustment boards whenever
satisfactory to both carriers and em
ployes. The adjustment boards are
of a temporary nature, and may han
dle disputes over hours, grievances
and working conditions, but' not
wages.
After failure of the adjustment
boards to agree an appeal can be
taken to the appeals board, which
has the exclusive jurisdiction of all
disputes concerning wages, this pro
vision being added to insure uniform
wages throughout the country.
Members of the appeals board are
to be appointed by the president for
the terms of two, three and four
years, with the approval of the sen
ate, and their salaries are fixed at
SIO,OOO. There are nine members.
A provision requires that all mem
bers of this board must dispose of
any interest® they have in railroad
securities. The three carrier and
three employe members are selected
from lists of six candidates submit
ted to the president by the railway
executives and organized labor. The
president selects three members him
self.
To guard the rights of unorganiz
ed labor, the bill allows the board to
take up any dispute upon the peti
tion of 100 unorganized workers.
Awards of the appeals board are
final, but not penalties ape provided
for violations. All alleged violations
will be investigated by the board and
if found to be contrary to the award
V. ill be so declared publicly.

THE ATLANTA SEMT-WEEKLV JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1920.
WAGES AND DATES
TO GONTINMDER
NEW GAIL■ BILL
WASHINGTON. Feb. 18.—Wages
established by the railroad admin
istration during the war would con
tinue In effect until September 1
under the railroad re-organization
bill, conference report on which was
presented today in the house and
senate.
Under the wage provision, the re
drafting of which created more sur
prise in congress than any other
change made in compromising the
Esch bill of the house and the Cum
mins bill of the senate, pay of rail
road workers -would be stabilized at
the present levels for six months
after the rail properties are return
ed to private control and operation
The bill as reported today also
seeks to stabilize rates for the same
time providing that prior to Sep
tember 1 no rates may be reduced
unless approval of the interstate
commerce commission is obtained.
The restriction on wage increases
was looked upon with especial Inter
est by members of congress, rail
road officials and union leaders in
view of the recent demands of the
more than 2,000,000 railroad w-orkers
for an advance in pay. President
Wilson in supporting the contention
that no increases could be granted
on the eve of return of the railroads
told the union leaders their demands
would be considered by a commits
sion to be created by law if such a
provision was included in the rail
road bill, or to be appointed on his
own initiative of no legal provision
were made.
The outstanding points of the
measure as finally agreed upon are.
Compulsory submission of laboj
disputes to a permanent federa.
board appointed by the president and
composed of nine members equally
divided between the employes, em
ployers and the public. No provision
is made for enforcing the board’s
decision.
Adjustment of rates by the inter
state commerce commission so as
to yield to carriers a return of a 1-2
per cent upon the aggregate value of
’.heir property with another half of
one per cent for improvements
* Guarantee Against Deficit
Distribution of half the net rail
way operating income in excess of
six per cent of the property value
equally between the carriers’ reserve
fund and the federal railroad con
tingent fund which will be adminis
tered by the commission for the as
distance of weaker roads.
Government guarantee to rail
roads against a deficit during the
first six months after the roads are
turned back.
Permissive consolidation of rail
roads in accordance with a genera*
consolidation plan to be prepared by
the interstate commerce commission.
Appropriation of $500,000,000 to be
used as revolving funds from which
to make loans to carriers and pay
claims growing out of, federal con
trol. Unexpended funds now in the
railroad administration’s hands are
also re-appropriated for that pur
pose, and an appropriation of 1'50,00“
for the federal labor board is pro
vided.
As finally agreed upon, the labor
section provides that “it shall be the
duty of all carriers and their officers,
employes and agents, to exert every
reasonable effort and adopt every
available means to avoid any inter
ruption to the operation of any car
rier growing out of any dispute be
tween the carrier and the employes
or subordinate officials.”
Such dispute, the bill provides,
should, if possible, be decided by
railway boards of labor adjustment
established by agreement between
the carriers concerned and the em
ployes. No provision is provided
however, for their organization.
5 1-2 Per Cent Returns
The rate-making section of the
bill stipulates that the interstate
commerce comnjission in establish
ing rates which shall yield a return
equal to 5 1-2 per cent of the aggre
gate value of the carriers’ property
' shall give due consideration, among
other things, to the transportation
needs of the country and the neces
sity (upon honest, efficient and eco
nomical management of existing
transportation facilities) of enlarg
ing such facilities in order to pro
vide the people of the United States
with adequate transportation.”
Determination of the aggregate
The commission’s increased powers
include the following:
Supervision over the issuance at
railroad securities, the commission’s
approval being required before rail
roads can issue stock or bonds:
Establishmen. of minimum rail
rates, the commission up to this time
having had only power to establish
maximum rate. This power will en
able it to prevent a carrier from con
ducting “cut-throat” competition.
Authority to make such just and
reasonable direction with respect t '
ear service in times of emergency
as will best promote the service in
the public’s interest.
The authority to compel the joint
or common use of terminals; to give
direction for preference or priority
in transportation, embargoes or
movement of traffic under permits.
Approval of new construction or
abandonment of railroads.
Complete, control over railroad op
erations throughout the United
States in “case of war or threatened
war,” the bill provides, would be cen
tered in the commission which would
have power similar*to those now ex
ercised by the railroad administra
tion.

tan had not been dawdling for years
with the question the line might have
been begun years ago and would now
have offered you the opportunity of
despatching a few from
Odessa straight down to "Koweit"
and then that would have turned the
tables on the other power by reason
of the Russian troops having the
command of the inner lines on shore

is powerless for many reasons. The

"Berlin, Jan SO. 1902.—Dearest
Nicky: Let me oh|C? more thank you
by letter for your kind thought of
sending your favorite aide de camp,
Obolenski, with the presents for my
birthday. The ‘pelerine’ is most
practical and will do good service in
all weathers, nota bene tn going in
a launch to and from the 'Standart'
to the 'Hohenzollern' at Reval! Then
the vases are quite charming: the
blue one with sur pate' is an
ekquislte specimen and a moat hand
some decoration in my salons. Obo
lenski accompanied me all through
the different functions of my birth
day and will be ab’e to tell you what
a poor overworked ’landesvater’ has
to go through before he is able to
sit down quietly for a morsel of
food and a cigarette!! However, we
managed to be very jolly as al! my
‘gesch wister’ (relatives) wore here
and Henry managed to keep th" fam
ily alive, elated as he is with the
prospect of paying the Americans
and their fair ladies a flying visit,
which to our great amusement seems
to create cons’der-b’e ‘toothache’ in

DMKEI TO TffilTY
IN PREMIERS' PLAN
SIOMWON
WASHINGTON, C. C.—The United
States will continue to support
the rights of the Jugo-Slavs in the
dispute o\er Flume, It was announced
at the White House Tuesday.
The government will not withdraw
from the Adriatic controversy; it
was stated. Threatened withdrawal
c-f American naval forces from the
Adriatic would not be taken to mean
that the United States will no: in
terest itself further m the situation
there.
President Wilson in his “memo
randum" to the allies concerning
their proposerd Adriatic settlemcn*
Informed them that the United States
might have to consider withdrawing
the treaty of Versailles from the sen
ate if the allies went ahead with
their plans without the consent of
the United States.
Hot a “"hreat”
This statement was made official
ly here with the further state
ment that the American position
was outlined not in the nature ot
a threat, but as a statement of a
situation created “not by an act of
the American government, but by an
act of the British, French and Ital
ian premiers." which would place
the United States in a position, ii
it were a party to the treaty of Ver
sailles. of subscribing through tht
pact to rights of sovereignty and
other agreements to which it was
opposed.
State department officials t:i!:e the
position that the French press is
endeavoring, through setting up «
cry of threat on the part of the
American government, to place liit
blame for the situation which has
arisen at America’s door “instead oi
the acts of the foreign premiers
where it belongs.”
A high official of the state de
partment explained the present dif
ference between the allies and tht
United States on the Adriatic ques
tion as follows:
AmciTcan Bcsltlcn
“On December 9. a note, signed bv
Great Britain. France and the Unit
ed States, was submitted to Italy for
the settlement of the Adriatic prob
lem. This plan was never accepted
by Italy. Then the prime ministers
met again In January and submitted
another plan to Premier Nitti. of
Italy, which was a modification ot
the previous proposal concurred in
by the United Ctates. Thl®> medif’.ea
lion was in favor of Italy and Italy
accepted It as the "irreducible mini
mum.” This plan was sent to the
Jugo-Slavs on January 2<> with the
ultimatum that failure to accept it
would result in the enforcement of
the pact of London. Following its
dispatch to the Jv.go-Slavs. the plat,
was cosvntmhtated io the United
States- it did not secure our approv
al and President Wilson's note re
sulted.
The United States was not a party
to the. .innunry plan, and if the allies
want uh to accept any proposition
stttlen.ent of the Adriatic, they
must give us a say in its formula*
tion."
The principal objection of Presi
dent Wilson to the allied plan of
January is understood to be provis
ions placing the city of Finme un
der the sovereignty of Italy and giv
ing Italy a strip of land connecting
Fiunie with Italian Istrla.
Woman Kills Rat; Then
Gives Lecture on Fear
SHARON. Pa.—Cries for help,
emanating from a Fisk street busi
ness house, attracted the attention
of Mary Ondracka and entering,
she found a. girl bookkeeper perched
on a desk frantically attempting to
summon assistance by telephone.
In the center of the office floor
was a rat. Miss Ondracka grasped
a stick and killed the rodent. Thon
she lectured the girl, advising her
to join the other 50 per cent of
Sharon women, who are not afraid
of rats.
nery which v.as shown to me by your
orders Is the most vital part of the
development of the navy and of its
preparation for ‘business.’ Through
this permission you showed me a spe
cial mark of confidence —in fact, u
reciprocity for what I showed you
at Danzig—which implies a complete
trust in the visitor, only possible be
tween men having the same ideas
and principles, and which between
two monarchs means united work in
the common cause of preserving the
peace for their countries. This trust
and faith you have shown me is,
I can assure you. for I fully recipro
cate it. That is shown by the fact
that the secret plans of my newest
ship—invisible to the foreigner—
were handed over to you and to the
discretion of your naval authorities.
To these facts add that we both have
the same interest in the development
of our navies, that the passion for
the sea is inborn to us. that will
suffice to show that we must look
at our two navies as one great organ
ization belonging to one great con
tinent whose inteiest it must safe
guard on its shores and in distant
seas. This means practically the
peace of the world.
