U. S. Has Drastic Plan. Should Mr. White’s efforts fail It is understood that the fuel administration Is prepared to lay before President Wilson a drastic plan for making certain an adequate doal supply.

Ottawa, Ont., Oct. 19.—Representatives of 200,000 organized railroad workers in the northeastern part of the United States and eastern Canada decided here to recommend to their unions that they demand from their employers wage increases of not less than 20 per cent. The workers involved are trainmen, conductors, baggagemen, brakemen and yardmen on lines east of Chicago and north of the Potomac river. The vote in favor of the demand for increased pay was unanimous on the part of 104 chairmen of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors, who have been in session here for Lhree days. The question will be submitted to a referendum of the members of the brotherhoods, and If their vote is affirmative negotiations with the railroad companies will be begun. If the increases are granted they will mean the addition of millions of dollars to the annual pay rolls of about 50 companies which are involved. W. G. Lee, president of the trainmen’s organization, in announcing the decision of the convention, said it had been determined that railroad workers holding positions of responsibility were entitled to better pay.

Correspondent of Berlin Newspaper Says Emperor Made Statement While on Way to Balkans. London, Oct. 19. —The correspondent of the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, who was permitted to travel on the train which took Emperor William to the Balkans and to lunch in the restaurant car with the emperor, says a dispatch to the Daily Chronicle from Amsterdam, sends the following to his newspaper: “His majesty sat down to the table with the observation that he had just read Professor Painleve’s first speech as French premier. “ ‘So M. Painleve wants Alsace-Lor-raine, does he?’ exclaimed the emperor. ‘Good; but he must come and take it.’ “The emperor then treated the company to a eulogy of the late King Carl and Queen Elizabeth of Roumanla, whose good work, he said, ‘has been undone In a few inonths by the hunger for gold and power of certain agitators.’ 1 -‘'At the conclusion of the lunch, vrtiieh consisted of meat and fish courses and bread and cheese, about the same as might be served in a middle-class household, the kaiser said: ‘lt is unworthy for any German to live well when even the best people go without things. What we have of foodstuffs is common property which by just division is sufficient to keep us alive for an unlimited time and which permits us to await final victory with calm. Who takes more than his share sins against those who serve the fatherland.’ ”
