SIGNING IS EXPECTED WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—President Wilson has Informed representatives of railroad labor that he can not reply to their request for immediate appointment >f a tribunal of employers and employes adjust wage demands until he has |gken action on the Cnmmlns-Esch bill. This was announced at the whitebouse today. The president had drafted a note to the representatives, bnt the context was affected by the passage of the CumminsDach bill and he asked Director General Hines to inform the labor representatives must defer action until be has acted upon the pending bill, which has provisions for labor adjustment boards. PRESIDENT AWAITS PALMER'S OPINION. The Cummins-Esch bill is now in the hands of Attorney General Palmer and it la understood the president will take, action upon It as soon as the attorney general has passed upon ita legality. Following conferences that lasted until after midnight, rail union chiefs today were putting the finishing touches on taelr memorial urging President Wilson to veto the bill, under which the uation’a railroads are to be returned to private control Monday. Meanwhile the railroad executives were rushing lastminute preparations to assume control of their properties. Much speculation Is being Indulged In as to what course the president will take. Labor leaders are laying plans to make the railroad situation an issue in the coming campaign If he signs the bill. Many leaders today had given up hope that the president would veto it. This belief was expressed privately, however. They regard their memorial as a public protest putting labor on record against the bill. FARMERS TO OPPOSE LABOR. Fanners probably will be the chief opponents of labor, It Is asserted. If the railroad situation is thrown into the political campaign. Representatives of big business organizations regard the situation as settled. ’X he question now, these representatives say, is whether the union executives will be able to pacify their rank and file. ‘The leaders, it is argued, wish to avert a strike. GOMPERS TO GIVE tVIEWS TONIGHT JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Feb. 26.—Tho executive council of the American Federation of Labor, meeting here today. Is planning the most extensive program in labor’s history to elect congressmen next November who will vote for the laws the workers want. “Our political plans are progressing satisfactorily,” Samuel Gompere, president of the organization, said as the delegates met. Gompers is expected to attack congress and perhaps say something about the railroad bill when he speake here tonight at a mass meeting. He intends to explain labor's position in politics. With four million votes behind them, leaders of organized labor are now studying the presidential possibilities. Whether the labor block shall be swung openly to an Indicated candidate for the presidency Is likely soon to become a perplexing question, to he decided by the national non-partisan political campaign

committee of the American Federation of Labor. Organized labor never has formally indorsed any candidate for the presidency and asked votes for that candidate alone. In former years the word has been passed out that a certain candidate had a record unfriendly to the cause', but no direct atempt has been made to defeat any one candidate and elect his opponent. This year, however, the question of a presidential candidate is expected to be taken up and decided along with that of electing representative* senators and state end local officials friendly to organized labor. It is even possible that the presidential candidates will be asked to answer questionnaires. At least, their records will be carefully studied with a view to determining their attitude toward labor.

Plea For Children’s Welfare Keynotes “Instant Obedience”

Mrs. Helen f Paulsen Tells Indianapolis Mothers of Duty —Lectures at Library. Mrs. Helen B. Paulsen, a mother and a teacher who has devoted her life to the study of child welfare, Is carrying a big message to the parents of Indianapolis. ‘ln teaching a child obedience, It Is Instantaneous obedience to principle, to right living and not the caprice of a changeable parent or adult that should be sought,” says Mrs. Paulsen. In au interview today. “Be careful that your child does not learn watchful waiting rather than instant obedience.” Mrs. Paulsen asserts that contrary to the opinion of most grown-ups, the periods of transition in a child’s life today are very similar to those their parents went through when children. “It Is a simple matter to know the method of discipline to use with your child,” says Mrs. Paulsen. "Is the method you use bringing the child close to you so that be can come to you for counsel aud help in the teen age? If it is. It Is correct. Is the method you use taking him further away so that he can not come to you for counsel and help? It is wrong. It Is the kind that maketh not afraid that should be used.” Most parents lose the companionship of their children before they are four years old, according to Mrs. Paulsen, who points out that parents can not expect to lose such companionship when the child is young and then get it back again In later years. PARENTS SHOULD LISTEN TO CHILDREN. When little Joe or Mary come running Into the house with their shoes and clothing dirty, eager to tell something, they should ‘be permitted to tell tbeir story at once. “Most parents seeing dirt on the children's shoes will order them to clean up at once, and then come and tell their story.” says Mrs. Pnulson. "Asa :e----sult they never get that story the little child has been so anxious to tell, and for the sake of something that does not amount to much, parents will sacrifice the companionship of children. And only for a difference In time of two minutes.” The greatest need children have In life Is to have parents who are sympathetic listeners, Mrs. Paulsen believes. "I don’t want to see sex hygiene—> call it physical hygiene taught in the schools—but I do want to sec the mothers and fathers able to teach their children when they come to them with big questions about life,” says Mrs. Paulsen. “For If they don't get an answer fimm their parents to their questions they will go outside of tbeir homes and get it.” Mrs. Paulsen tells the following story of a young man who persisted In keeping late hours at the home of his sweetheart. “The girl’s father finally told her It was time for the young man to go home. The young man remarked to the daugh ter that her father seemed to be a crank. The father overheard. ’Well, young man,’ he replied, ‘lt takes a crank, you know, when there Is no self-starter.’ DUTY OF MOTHER TO START STARTER. “But young men tell me that the reason they don’t get home earlier from calling on their girls is because the girls won't let them. So it is up to the mothers to see that their daughters help the young men to get started on time. Even a self-starter needs somebody to start It.” Mrs. Paulsen believes In good times of the right kind for children and young people and she Insists that It U the duty of parents and communities to provide the means for their having good times during their leisure hours.

PLAN TO BALK NEWjRISH BILL Can Lead to No Solution, Is View of Labor Party. LONDON, Fob. 26.—Leaders of the labor party today prepared a motion opposing the second reading of the government's new Irish home rule bill in the house of commons on the ground that it will not lead to a settlement of the Irish question, the Daily News revealed. The Dally Chronicle states that the measure provides a Joint court of appeals for all of Ireland. The Idea in government circles Is to have the bill referred at once to a joint committee of both houses of parliament, according to the Dally Chronicle. When the bill was introduced In the house of commons by lan MaePberson, chief secretary for Ireland, only the title, and none of Its details, was divulged.

Says All Publishers Must Obey Rules to Avert Newsprint Famine CHICAGO, Feb. 26.—The present newsprint “famine” can not be ended, in fact, will grow worse', until all publishers realize that suggested economy and conservation measures are directly applicable to them, L. B. Palmer, manager of the American Newspaper Publishers’ association, said today.

"Most newspapers- have adopted someg form of conservation, such as reducing their size and raising advertising rates, tut the newsprint famine wil continue to grow until all carry this much further and put into effect more stringent and 1 uniform conservation measures,” Palmer! declared. “The trouble is that many publishers i feel they are exempt. They must be made to realize that the various plans suggested for relief of present conditions apply to them personally, Just as the ‘no smoking’ and ‘no admittance’ signs, with the popular postscript, ‘This means you.’ "The American Newspaper Publishers' association, of course, has no mandatory powers. Its efforts in the newsprint situation are necessarily confined to an educational campaign. We are constantly collecting Information from all parts of the country as to what successful measures have been put into effect by newspapers and distribute this knowledge for the benefit of all. ‘The newsprint industry is in the same position as housing. The demand which spurted Immediately after the bos tllities ceased in the world war, far outstripped the supply and it may take from two to four years for the two laws —supply and demand—to become co-re-lated again. "The greatly Increased demand for newsprint is due, of course, to the remarkable growth in advertising. This, in turn, la the direct result of the education the country gave during the war In the value of newspaper advertising. rr compared with all other methods. I doubt very much if the present boom in advertising will ever recede to any great extent. “The bills In congress ostensibly designed to aid publishers, will do more harm than good. It Is up to the publishers themselves to work out their own salvation.”
