CHICAGO, June 1. The Republican Na
tional Commlttcei today began to untangle
the situation resulting from 40 separate
contests, Involving 62 delegates from
Southern States.
Although Secretary Reynolds, of the corn
jnlttee, declared the nghts Involved were
merely battles for local control, and the
usual fights between the "black and tans"
and tho "Illy whites," campaign managers
for Hughes, Roosevelt and Senator AVeeks
were watching Uie contest closely.
The, same rules, In substance, that gov
erned the contests In 1912 were to be
adopted.
As In 1912 the proceedings will be only
semi-public, with press association men tho
only reporters admitted.
Hughes' managers were expected to
watch closely tho contest from Georgia,
affecting 17 delegates. One delegation,
headed by National Committeeman Honry
0. Jackson, Is aligned with tho old guard
and Is expected to vote for Senator Weeks
on the first ballot If seated. Tho contest
ins delegation, backed up by State Chair
man Walter Johnson, Is bellevod to be
aligned with Hughes,
DELEGATION CONTESTS.
The Louisiana contest, Involving 12 dele
gates, -also has possiblltlts of a light among
Hughes, Roosevelt and the Old Guard. This
contest Is based on the ability of negroes
to gain entrance to the New Orleans Hotel,
where the whites met.
There nro two warring delegations In
Georgia, a tangle In ToxaB, Involving the
technical point of the right of districts to
send two delegates, and In Virginia, where
one Richmond district is -involved, It Is a
fight between the "black and tans" and
"Illy whitos."
Six delegates at large and ona district
delegate are Involved In tho Alabama con
test, probably the first to be taken up The
regulars In this contest are claimed by
Hughes' supporters.
In Oklahoma -where four district delegates
are Involved It Is believed to bo a case of
Roosevelt against Hughes.
COMMITTED DIVIDED.
Tho committee admittedly Is torn with
conflicting emotions. No one would say
definitely no one could" say authoritatively
whether the committee as a whole de
sired Hughes, Roosovelt, Sherman, Fair
banks, Burton, Root, -Weeks or any one
of the lesser lights.
Thus was the -work of -weeding out the
contests complicated. It was proponed
when tho committee went Into session that
the rest ot the, week would be spent In de
ciding the factional differences.

can National Committee, announced llatly
that the Progressives would stand on tho
statement they outlined In January, Indi
cating they would support any candidate
not necessarily Roosevelt who stood for
progressive prlpclples.
"This Is pre-eminently the time when the
conventions should be for Americans first,"
said Perkins.
"I read In the papers that Carranza, In
his note delivered to Washington yesterday,
had accused the Wilson Administration of
duplicity and of misleading the Mexican
Government. It occurs to me that this was
tho first time that any foreign Power had.
uareu accuse uncie aam or treachery.
"Our prlmo obpect should be, with all
possible speed and certainty, to Htop this
sort of a thing and restore our good name."
As Perkins entered the Blackstone ho
shook hands with Chairman Hllles, of the
Republican committee; Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, one of the Old Guard, and
several other Republicans.
They chatted Informally, and laughingly
expressed hopes ot getting together,
"Thanks for your statement regarding
tho Republican platform the other day,'
Perkins said to Hllles.
PREDICTS ISSUE AS AMERICANISM.
In this statement Hllles had announced
tho Republicans were for Ajnerlcantsm and
preparouness, ana mat mis was tne big
Issue. Hllles told Interviewers today that
he believed the Progressives and Republi
cans would get weather,
"I don't think they have changed," he
said. "I believe they were absolutely
sincere In their January statement, I have
not been assured of this fact by Col.
Roosevelt, but I do believe the colonel's
followers would aaccept another man If
necessary. But, of course, they want the
colonel."
Hllles branded as absolutely false a
report that ths National Committee would
get together today on a compromise can
dldate. "We'll naturally talk about things when
ever we get together," ha said. "But we
are not Kong to pick anybody for any
ottlce."
Senator Smoot. ot Utah, was equally
optimistic.
"There are 985 delegates." he said. "All
are absolutely free to vote for anybody
th,ey chops. Thero ara no strings tied to
anybody. And anybody they nominate will
win."
Two new presidential headquarters were
opened along candidates' row today, Paul

WAGE BOOST MAKES MEN
LAZY, SAY EMPLOYERS
Continued from Inge One
as reported to us, Is so unsatisfactory that
thoro Is a tendency on their part to curtail
operations until they can bo conducted un
der more favorable conditions, and there Is
a deep feeling that unless bettor rosultB are
obtained from a day's work It Is useless for
this country to try to compete for the
world's trade "
Arthur V. Post, assistant agent, in the
nbsence of Mr. Austin, who Is In Washing
ton today, said that a 30-day Investigation
Just completod indicated a most alarming
situation.
"Tho letters which we have been receiv
ing from manufacturers throughout this
district are virtually alike In their crlti.
cUm ot labor conditions Emplojers report
to us that with the Increase of wages has
como n relaxation of effort on the part of
employes Men are working four or five
days a Week Instead of six, material costs
have increased, overhead charges remain
to be reckoned with nnd a general wage In
crease has followed Most manufacturers re
port that It will soon be Impossible to
maintain their plants unless nn advnncn !
made In selling prices.
"Jt Is evident," he continued, "hat labor
haB failed to recognise the crisis which Is
confronting It. Labor has cut off Its nose
to Bplto Its face. The resut w bo a deep
reorganization of Industry apd a fundamen
tal change In the relations between capital
apd labor at tho close of the war. "
MUNITIONS MDN ASSAILCD.
"Anotlior complaint that has been mioed
by numerous manufacturers, especially
those who employ machinists. In tfiat the
munition manufacturers have been conduct
ing a nefarious campaign to take their best
employes from them
"We have received letters of complaint
r) which It Is set forth that the munition
Interests not only maintained employment
offices, but went o far as tq poqt agents
outside local plants to distribute circulars
among the men. These circular.-) told in
alluring tsrms the large wages whch tho
munition pans vyero offering and the other
advantages which would follow employment
In the larger plants. In some Instances
they even Bent back to their former nlacen
ot employment men wljom they had suc
ceeded In luring away, wth their Pay en
velopes, as a bait to draw more men from
the local plants."
"The conditions which exist today are
fraught with danger to the cantry, Labor
has failed to recognize ths, and It lq great
ly to pa feared that labor wl be the chief
sufferer when conditions again return to
the normal. Wages must come down j hey
are now abnormal. Manufacturers appre,
elate the danger that lurks n the failure
Of labor to grasp the situation, but they are
helpless, The conditions today are truly
startling."
WASHINGTON, June 1. "Business ac
tivlty In the United States has perhaps
reached the maximum of the preeent mov
ment," the Federal Jvwens Bqard's monthly
bulletin, out today, says.
Among reasons given are;
Orders covering factory outputs to the
end ot the year,
A more pautlous attach aa tq the future.
Qquslderable unrest on the part of labor,
"even where most highly compensated"
A slightly less favorable outlook for some
of the growing crops.
On the other hand, the report says.)

WASHINGTON, June 1. When Senator
Bankhead, of Alabama, and Senator Town
nnii. nt Mlr.hlirnn. chairman and ranking
minority member, respectively, of the Sen
ate Postofilce Committee, called on Poet
master General Burleson to discuss with
him the "postmasters' lobby" started by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Blakslee, of Pennsylvania, the Cabinet
officer said tho bombardment of Congress
ha? been started without his knowledge
He told tho Senators ho deplored the stops
taken by his assistant Ip writing to post
masters suggesting that they besiege Sena
tors with telegraphic protests against tho
Postoffice bill as reported to the Semite.
'The Postmaster General seemou lull or
regrets," said Senator Townsend upon his
return to tho Capitol from the conferenco
at the PostQfllce Department. "We dd not
gq to tho Department to demand tho offi
cial head of Blaksteo, but Senator Bankhead
dd BUggest that it probably would be Im
possible for the Postolllco Commlttoe to
work In harmony with tho Fostofllce De
partment as long as Mr. Blakslee remained
In an official capacjty. We were not au
thorized by tho full committee to make any
demands."
Postmaster General Burleson said he
had not had a chance to read the testi
mony given by Mr. Blakslee when he was
summoned before tho committee tq answer
to the charge ot having started a ' back-
flro" on Congress because the Senate com
mittee had failed to follow tho recom
mendations of Mr. Burleson In framing the
postoflico bill. Assurances were, given Mr.
Burleson by Senators Bankhead and Town
send that they would supply tho Cabinet
officer with a copy of his assistant's testi
mony. Mr. Burleson said that If they
would do that, he would be able to dis
cuss the case rnoro Intelligently.
It Is well known that neither the Re
publican nor Democratic members of the
committee will bo satisfied with anything
less than the removal of Blakslee If
Burleson does nqt agree to It, they are
prepared to take the caso to President
Wilson.

HYPHENS ASSAIL ROOSEVELT
FOR ADDRESS IN ST. LOUIS
"Self-Seeker, Demagogue, Peaco De
stroyer," Applied to Colonel
ST. LOUIS, June 1. Replying to Roosei
vclt's attack on the German-American Al
liance as "moral traitors," the Westllche
Post today says editorially:
"Roosevelt asserts that he Is fighting
against every attempt to Introduce discord
among tha American people. In reality,
he himsolf is the mast dangerous peace
destroyer. It Is not sufficient that, n re
venge for the failure to satisfy his personal
pride, he has split up a party: he now
sows discontent throughout the entire peo
ple, Inasmuch as he stigmatizes a certain
element of the people as traitors and incites
all other Americans to persecute them."
Tho American says:
"In St. Louts, Roosevelt took aim espo.
clnlly at the German-Americans He spoke
as a demagogue who knows that he has
one element of tho people against him.
and who places all his reliance In dam
aging his opponents In the eyes of the multi
tude. His rage against tho hyphenated
springs from the realization that the con.
servatlvo element of the people which first
called Washington 'Father of the Father-
lanay anu Lincoln, with sincere love,
'Father Abraham,' despises him as an am.
bltlous self-seeker."

LONDON, Juno 1. Continued and vjolent
gales were responsible for the falluro of tha
Antarctic expedition headed by Sir Ernest
Shackloton. Following nows of the safe ar
rival of Shackleton at Stanley, Falkland Is
lands, details of tho fato of tho exploration
ship Endurance wero received today,
Durjng the early part of last year unpreo
edontod gales swept the ocean In th Ant
arctic regions. The Enduranco was badly
battered by Icebergs and finally foundered.
Shackleton succeeded in getting off all hla
men and some stores, but terrible privations
wero suffered and death by starvation
seemed near.
The 22 men with Shackleton had a narrow
escape from death The trip made by Sir
Ernest and five companions In an open boat
from Elophant Island In the Shetland group
to South Georgia, was a three weeks' night
mare. Every hour the men were lp "the
shadow of death.
At South Georgia the explorer asked
whajers to go to the aid of tho 22 men
left behind In Ice caverns, but tho trip
could not bo made on account ot bad
weather.
Sr Ernest, upon his arrival at Stanley,
communicated first with King Georgo and
then with Lady Shackleton. ,Up to noon
today the Royal Geographical society naa
received no word from the explorer. He
has been asked by cable to send further
details His message addressed to the
King was as follows:
PORT STANLEY, Falkland Islands, May
31.
"1 havo arrived here. The Endurance
was crushed In the middle of Weddcll sea
on October 27, 1D1E. She drifted 700 mile.
In the Ico until April 9 this year. Wo land
ed on Elephant Island on April 16. I left
pp April 24, leaving 22 men In a hole In
the Ice cliffs there, and proceeded for help
toward South Georgia with flve ?nen In a
?2-foot bqat,
"At the tmq of leaving the Island, all
were well but n urgent need of rescue.
"SHACKLETpN."
Lady Shackleton was overjoyed.
"I am too happy to say anything at ttrfa
time," she told newspaper men.
The welcome news of tho safety ol
Shackleton and his men reached London
Immediately after a statement in ths Hmis
of Commons by Premier Aoqulth, Tn
Premier Informed the House today that
pqmmlttce had been appointed by the Aqj i
rnlralty to coneldor methods of organising
a relief expedition to rescue ShagWetoji an4 '
his men,
j(o aaaea tnat Parliament would b
asked to yote the necessary funflsj for filM
purpose and that the expedition would bi
started with as little delay aa possible
There had beep much agttlqn for a re
)lef expedition over since the news of tha
mishap to the supply ship Aurora.
Th greatest relief is felt at Sir Ernest's)
sate return without the Ipsa of a single
life, nnd It overshadows any disappointment
that might otherwise be felt at his having
been prevented from carrying out the plana
with which he started on the expedition.
Lieutenant filr Ernest Shackletqn' epet
dton had, as an object the orpssing of tha
Antarctic continent from Weddell Sea to
Ross Sea. Qne section, Including Sir Erneat,
sailed In the schooner Endurance from
puenos Aires In October, U4, fqr Wedded
Sea. Another section Proceeded frorp Tas
mania by the. steamer Aurora for Ros Sea.
where It was hoped Sir Ernest would Join It
after crossing the continent.
Early In the present year. the Aurora, re
turned to New Zealand; having brpkea.
adrift In the Ice, Eight ft her men were
ashore when the vessel broke away, and
nothing had been heard from SbackletpR
apd his companions at the Ross Sea base.
The Falkland Islands He off the coast of
Argentina, and the fact that the auction
of the expedition headed by Shaokletqn
returned to its virtual point of departure
means that the expedition has failed In ita
primary oujaoi, me crossing or, tne Anti
arctlo Continent. This might have been due
tq difficulties, encountered on the journey
to the pole or the return of Shackleton tq
tha South Atlantic may have resulted from
failure to meet with the second section of
the expedition proceedlnc from the. opposite
direction.
South Qeorgiff, to whieh abeckltton traYf
