Ang. 12--A national railroad strike, temporarily averted by federal mediators, loomed threateningly Far Into the night the government board of raefdlatlon and conciliation had labored to effect a proposal which would induce the railway employes to accept arbitration and prevent a strike that would affect approximately 400,000 men, 230.000 miles of roads and 225 railroads. This was the attitude of the railways today: "Wo are willing to aeept arbitration." The employes' attitude was: There is nothing to arbitrate." When the mediators prepared to meet the employes' delegates today 'Case eontined. hoping they will) be reconciled and live together! again."

Eight children survive. the general brotherhood sentiment among the leaders was that a breaking off of negotiations was Imminent.

They asserted that tho demands of the men for an eight-hour day and time and a half for overtime would have to be granted; that no compromise was possible. The mediators refused to abandon hope, however. William L. Chambers, a member of tho federal board, said: "It la hard to say when our efforts to bring about a friendly tlement of the controversy will end. Personally, I am still very hopeful." That a strike would be ordered as soon aa the mediation efforts ended was the Intimation that came direct from the labor leaders.

In that ease It waa understood that President Wilsen would lives of both sides call representa- to Washington and that the strike would not go into effect until the nation's chief executive had an opportunity to act.

ERS TRIAL OF PEKING, Aug. Li Yuan-bung's mandate ordering the trial and punishment of nine prominent movers in the monarchical movement, including two former members of the cabinet, has created a profound sensation in China. Liang Shlh-yl, who was the confidential adviser of Yuan Sbi-kal, is included in tbe list of monarchists who are to 'be tried and punished. Liang Shlh-yl Is now in Kongkong, living under tbe protection of tbe British flag will Sw to extradite Liang 8hlh-yi for a political offense. If tbe Chinese government were to make charges of embezzlement against him In connection with his direction of the affairs of the Bank of Communications It might be possible to extradite him Criminal charges would probably command the attention of the English government, but it is quite unlikely that English officials in Peking would regard political offenses aa proper grounds for extradition.

Chow Tzu-chI, for several Yuan Shi-kal's minister of agriculture and commerce, and minister of finance during the last days of Yuan's regime, is also among the list of monarchists to be punished. He Is now living in the British concession at Tien-tsin, and consequently is also ibeyond the reach of the Chinese government, unless It makes criminal charges. Chu Chi-chien, Yuan Shl-kai's former minister of the interior, ia the other cabinet member against whom the mandate is directed Chu Chi- chien was at the head of the bureau which was making preparations for Chi-jui, tbe premier, was strongly against the punishment movement. It is most offensive to practically all the military leaders, and it is extremely doubtful whether an honest effort will ever 'be made to puniah the monarchical leaders named In the mandate. In the opinion of many foreigners, Li Huan-bung authorized the mandate merely 4s a face-saving expedient without thought that it would be put into effect.

Practically all be former officials agains whom It is directed had left before the mandate waa Issued. It is reported on very good authority that most ot them had been officially advised to leave the capital, so the government would not be compelled to arrest them. ceremonies, and very prominently NOTICE.

Yang Tu, chief promoter of the Chou An Hul, or the Society for the Preservation of Peace, which formerly launched the monarchial movement in t. public waj, is the most prominent of the other men to tried The full text of the mandate for the punishment of monarchists follows "The movement for the change of form of state plunged the whola country into utter confusion and nearly caused it to suffer national extinction. Those who promoted the movement must be held reaponsible.

The arrest is hereby ordered of Yang Tu, Sun Yu-chun, Ku Ao, Liang Shlh-yi, Hsia Shcutien, Chu Chi- chien, Chow Tzu-chI, and Hsuen Ta- kp, who are to be handed to the judiciary, carefully and strictly tried and punished according to the law to the end that a warning may be registered for the guidance ot future generations. Others are hereby pardoned In tho interest of leniency." Conservative newspapers, especially those printed In English, have advised strongly against the punishment of monarchists on the ground that such a step would make a reconciliation of tbe north and south Machines to be Inspected TO ESCAPE TAX WASHINGTON, Aug 12--Yielding to a flood of protests from the country and from senate and house members of their own party, democrats of the senate finance committee have reconsidered their decision to lower the exemption In the income tax law from $4,000 to $3,000 for married persons and from $3,000 to $2,000 for unmarried persons. They voted, however, to make the rate of tax on the lowest taxable class of Income 2 per cent instead of 1 per cent. Had the committee declined to yield on the amendment, the democratic senate caucus probably would have reversed it The amendment increasing the surtax on incomes exceeding $2.000,000 from 10 to 13 per cent is retained, and there is a probability that further increases in the surtaxes will be made in caucus Tonight the democratic caucus continued consideration of committee amendments and had before it the proposal agreed on by the committee late in the day striking out the specific excise taxes on munitions manufacturers and substituting a 10 per cent net profit tax on the profits of all manufacturers of munitions and wares that enter into munitions The committee also adopted today an amendment increasing the salaries of members of the proposed tariff board ttfm. to $10,000 each.
