A vigorous campaign is being made
for money to make a cash payment
of $2000 on a chotract recently award-
ed to finish the Fred Allen Memorial
Church in South Austin. The church
already has spent 18400 on the prop-
erty and all debts have been paid off.
Tho money now being raised is for
the completion of the church and the
building committee is composed of W.
D Miller, Scott cabaniss, T. L. Eck,
Shelton Adrian, C. V. Brock, Charles
Shaw and Thomas Caldwell.
The church is named in honor of
a pioneer preacher of the Austin cir-
cuit. When completed the building will
have a seating capacity of 350 and will
be one of the handsomest church struc-
tures in the city. Rev. Beverly W. Al-
len. the pastor, is receiving contribu-
tions and has asked that persons not
seen by members of the committee and
who desire to contribute, telephone
him.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Aug. 29.-
The War Department at Washington
is still considering the qestion of
whether National Gardsmen who are
college stdents will be discharged from
service so they can retrn to school this
fall, it was announced at Fort Sara
Houston today, and It is not certain
that a recent order permitting the re-
lease of such guardsmen will be en-
forced.
There are about 5000 college men
in the guard, it was said at Southern
division headquarters, but very few of
these have applied for discharge.
Practically all the applications come
from the heads of college and from
parents.
A circular letter recently was sent
out by headquarters to persons apply-
ing for the release of college men stat.
Ing that discharges would be granted
unless developments in the military sit-
uation should necessitate detention of
tho men.
A new circular has been prepared
which informs applicants that as the
matter is still under consideration by
the War Department, action on appli-
cations can not be taken.
Lack of fresh air it is said weakens
the oxygen carrying power of the ■
blood, the liver becomes sluggish, fat i
accumulates and the action of many
of the vital organs are hindered there-
by. The heart action becomes weak,
work is an effort and the beauty of
the figure is destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor 0lfe is un-
healthy and if nature is ‘not assisted
in throwing It off a serious case of
obesity may result
When you feel that you are getting
too stout, take the matter in hand at
once- Don't wait until your figure
has become a joke and your health
ruined through carrying around a bur-
den of unsightly and unhealthy fat...
Spend as much time as you possibly
can in the open air; breathe deeply,
and get from Van Smith Drug Co. or
any druggist a box of oil of korein
capsules; take one after each meal
and one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself every few days and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal. Oil of korein is ab-
solutely harmless. Is pleasant to take,
helps the digestion and even a few
days treatment has been reported to
show a noticeable reduction in weight.

At the present moment, circumstances
render this duty particularly obvious.
"Almost tho entire military force of
the nation is stationed upon the Mex-
ican border to guard our territory
against hostile raids. It must be sup-
plied and steadily supplied with what-
ever it needs for its maintenance and
its ffjclency. If it should be neces-
sary for purposes of national defense
to transfer any portion of it upon short
notice to some support of the coun-
try, for reasons now unforseen, ample
means of transportation must be avail-
able without delay. The power con-
forred in th t mattsould bo care-
fully and explicitly limited to cases
of military necessity, but in all such
cases it should be clear and ample.
"There is one other thing We should
do if wo are true champions of ar-
bitration. We should make all ar-
bitral awards judgments of a court of
law in order that their interpretation
and enforcement may lie not with ono
of the parties of the. arbitration, but
with any impartial and authoritative
tribunal.
"These things I urge upon you. not
in haste or os means of meeting A
present emergency, but as permanent
and necessary additions to the law of
tho land, suggested, indeed, by circum-
stances we had hoped never to see,
but imperative as well as just if such
emergencies are to be prevented in tho
future. I feel that no extended argu-
ment is needed to commend them to
yur favorable consideration; They <
demonstrate thpmselves. The time nnd
the occasfon omy give emphasis to their
importance. We need them now and
we shall contineu to need them.

"Third, the authorization of the ap-
pointment by the president of a small
body of mon to observe the actual re-
sults in experience of the adoption of
the eight-hour day in railway trane-
PaIA portaton alike for the men and for the
had roHYoads; its effect in the matter of
operating costs, in the application of
the existing practices and agreements
to the new conditions and in all other
practical aspects, with the provision
that tho investigators shall report their
conclusions to tho congress at the
earliest possible date but without
recommendatlon as to logislative ac-
tion, in order that the public may learn
from an unprejudiced sourer just what
actual developments have ensued.
"Fourth, explicit rule by the congress

will of others who took an entirely dif-
ferent view of the circumstances of
the case—-who even refused to admit
the circumstances to be what they have
turned out to be.
Recommends Legislation,
"Having failed to bring the parties
to this critical controversy to an ac-
commodation, therefore, I turn to you.
deeming it clearly our duty as public
servants to leave nothing undone that
we can do to safeguard the life and
interests of the Nation. In the spirit
of such a purpose I earnestly recom-
mend the following legislation:
"First, immediate provision for the
enlargement and administrative reor-
ganisation of the Interstate Commerce
Commission along the lines embodied
in the bill recently passed by the
House of Representatives and now
awaiting action by the Senate; in or-
der that the commission may be en*
bled to deal with the many and va-
rious duties now devolving upon it
with a promptness and thoroughness
which are with its present constitulion
and means of action practically impos-
sible.
"Second, the establishment of an 8.
hour day as the legal basis alike of
work and of wages In the employment
of all railway employes who are act-
ually engaged in the work operating

tuted and completed, before a strike
or lockout may lawfully be attempted.
"And, sixth. the lodgment in the
hands of tho executive of the power.
In case of military necessity, to take
control of such portions and such roll-
ing stock of the railways of the coun-
try as may be required for military
use and to operate them for military
purposes, with authority to draft into
the military service of the United
States such train crews and adminis-
trative officials as the circumstances
require for their safe and efficient
use.
'"This last suggestion I make be-
cause we can not in any circumstance
। suffer tho nation to be hampered in
the essential matter of national defense.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29- — The
brotherhood heads, Garretson, Stone,
Leo and Carter, issued the following
statement explaining their opposition
to any legislation along the plan of
the Canadian commission:
. "Since the abolition of slavery no
more effectual means has been devised
for insuring the bondage of the work-
ing man than the passage of compul-
sory investigation acts of the charac-
ter of the Canadian Industrial disputes
acL The writers speak from their
personal experience thereunder as the
rail organizations are all international
in their jurisdiction. To cite an ac-
tual occurrence:
"In 1910 the men upon eighty rail-
roads in the eastern territory of tho
United States presented to the rail-
road companies of that territory a de-
mand for Increase in wages. The com-
panies refused to deal concertedly with
the proposition and it was, therefore.
taken up with the individual roads. «
Three of the properties were Canadian. ♦
Negotiations were opened with all on ♦

Chamber of Commerce commits

who would be opposed to an increase
of freight rates (for which, however,
of course, the public itself would pay);
they apparently feel no conftdence that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
could withstand the objections that
would be made. They do not care to
rely upon the friendly ansurances of
the congrem or tho Pr-.IJrnt, They

be forced to yield. It they must yield,
not by counsel, but by the suffering
of the country. While my conferences
with them were in progress, and while

representatives of the brotherhoods
suddenly acted and set the strike for

•Th© railway managers based their
decision to reject my counsel in this
matter upon their conviction -that they
must at any cost to themselves or to
the country stand firm for the princi-
ple of arbitration, which the men had
rejected. I based by counsel upon the
indisputable fact that there was no
means of obtaining arbitration. The
law supplied none; earnest efforts at
mediation had failed to Influence the
men in the least. To stand firm for
the principle of orbit ration and yet not
arbitration seemed to me futile and
tomething more than futile, because.it
volved Incalculable d’stress to the
country and consequences in some re,
vpects worse than those of war and
that in the midst of peace.
"I yield to no man in firm adher*
nee, alike to conviction and of pur-
pose, to the principle of arbitration in
C ustrial disputes; but matters have

Hcular dispute and the country

viction in practice (by whose fault we
will not now stop to Inquire). A Rit-
uation bad to be met whose elements
and fixed conditions were 1ndisput-
able. The practical and patriotic course
I to pursue, a* It seemed to me, was to
secure immediate peace by conceding
the one thing in the demands of the
men, which society itself and any ar-
bitrators who represented public sen,
lime nt were most likely to approve and
immediately lay the foundations for
r” securing arbitration with regard to
sverything else involved. Th© event
has confirmed that judgment. I whs

wished an atmosphere of peace and
friendly co-operation in which to take
counsel with the representatives of
F the Nation with regard to the best
means for proyising so far as it might
rove possible to provide against the
ecurrence of such unhappy situations
