BEACHES EVERY NOOK AND CORNER OF RICH COUNTY TWENTY-THIR- YEAR. D RANDOLPH, RICH COUNTY, UTAH, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1919. WILSON POSTPONES AMERICA)! END BANDIT CHASE PRESIDENT DECLINES TO FIX PAY FOR THE RAILWAY SHOP MEN BOUNDARY BY RECROSSED FORCES BENT UPON THE CAPTURE OF BANDIT BAND. Baic 6ix-Da- Washington. Postponement of the settlement of wage demands until nor-mconditions are restored was announced on Monday by President Wilson as the policy which the administration will pursue iu dealing with such questions, particularly those affecting railroad workers. The president announced also that It was neither wise nor feasible at this time, when the most important question before the country is a return to uormal price level, to attempt to increase freight rates to provide funds for higher wages. We ought-t- o postpone questions of this sort until we have the opportunity for certain calculation as to the relations between wages and the cost of the president declared in a living, statement to the public explaining his decision as to wages. It is the duty of every citizen to insist upon a truce in such contests until intelligent settlements can be made, and made by peace and effective common counsel. I appeal to my fellow citizens of every in insisting employment to npon and maintaining such a truce. Mr. Wilsons statement was issued in connection with the decision of himself and Director General Hines on by railroad shopmen for a cent advance In wages, but the general policy announced covers also the wage demands of other hundreds of thousands of railroad workers, which are pending before the directoi general or about to be presented. It is to be expected that other' unions trying to obtain more pay will be asked, as the shopmen, to play their part. with other citizens in reducing the cost of living by foregoing a temporary advantage which would add to , transportation costs. The decision of .the: president and. the director general was announced to a committee of 100, representing the shopmen. In reply to their demands for a 25 per cent' increase, the shopmen were asked to accept an adjustment of their pay to the basis of ten hours pay for eight hours work, which they contended was given to other employees and denied them when the Adamson law became effective. This means an advance of the basic pay from 68 cents to 72 cents an hour, whereas an increase of 17 cents to 85 cents an hour was demanded. , ' r - AS TO SHANTUNG SENATE COMMITTEE VOTES TO AMEND TREATY TO RESTORE PROVINCE TO CHINA, y Campaign Results in Killing of Leader of Outlaw Gang and the Capture of Half a Dozen of His Followers.

President Wijson has not the power to declare peace by proclamation, nor could he consent in any circumstances to take such a course' prior to the ratification of a formal treaty of peace by the senate. The president so wrote Senator Fall on August 21, in answer to one of the twenty written questions the senator presented at the White House conference. Replying to another question, the president said the provision of the treaty that it should come into force principal associated powers operated merely tef establish peace between those ratifying powers, and that it was questionable whether it can be said that the league of nations is in any true sense created by the association of only three of the allied and associated governments. As to the question of when normal conditions might be restored, the president said he could only express the confident opinion that immediate ratification of the treaty and acceptance of the covenant of the league as written would certainly within the near future reduce the cost of living, both in this country and abroad, through restoration of production and commerce to normal. To Senator Fall's questions relating to the disposition of Germany's possessions, the president said the arrangement iu the treaty conveyed no title to the allied or associated powers, hut merely intrusts disposition of the territory in question to their decision.
