Chicago is practically assured of subway which will eliminate downtown congestion. 
That his recommendation will be made by the three engineers comprising the traction and subway commission was stated yesterday by a man intimate with the commission's progress thus far. A subway, he said, is the only solution of the loop problem. In its exhaustive study of Chicago traction conditions the commission has endeavored to learn whether additional street car trackage downtown could be installed. It has found it impossible. 
TO RETAIN ELEVATED LOOP. 
Present plans contemplate a subway to include both elevated and sur-face cars. Chicago cannot hope yet for the eradication of the elevated loop, but a subway could take care of much of this. 
The report of the commission, expected to be delivered to the Council committee on local transportation by December 1, probably will be delayed two weeks, and possibly a month. The commission, it was learned, will report on approximately 2,000 phases of the transportation situation here. For the public's benefit, however, a short report in plain language will be made in pamphlet form.  As many as is necessary will be printed.
SUBWAY HELD NECESSARY.
"A subway," said Alderman Henry D. Capitain yesterday, "is necessary in Chicago. We must have one with-in the next five years, or we will find ourselves unable to cope with the rush-hour business downtown."
Alderman Capitain intends to put before the committee as soon as possible the "skip-stop" system of surface car operation.  He believes it would increase are service of the sur-face Lines at least 10 per cent. The committee on local transportation, he suggested, should assume a broader view in the future with traction problems. In the first instance with the "skip-stop," Alderman Capitain would submit this to a referendum.
PEOPLE WOULD DECIDE.
"That is the only way." he said.  "Let the people decide their own trac-tion problems insofar as possible. In Cleveland they have referendum votes on street car questions."
The latter city gave Alderman Cap-itain his idea for the renewal of the "skip-stop" system in Chicago. The plan was tried here a year ago, but was rejected. Under it, according to Cleveland traction officials, the speed of cars has been increased more than 20 per cent.
 The plan is an expresss surface line system. Streets, generally between three and four blocks apart, are designated as stopping places.  Cars will not take on or discharge pas-sengers at any other points.

Baker Refuses to Admit Army Staff Powers Repealed 

Reiterates Faith in Officers and Lauds Root as a Great War Secretary.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Secretary of War Baker to-day reiterated his faith in the general staff of the army. In the last session of Congress efforts were made to weaken the efficiency of the staff by inserting in the national defense bill restrictions on the “administrative” powers of its officers.
  Secretary Baker termed the legislation a “glancing blow.” He expressed strong confidence in the staff and said it was necessary to the Secretary of War as an informative and advisory board. He refused to recognize in the legation “an implied repeal of the whole fundamental theory of the reorganization act whereby the general staff was created.”
   The secretary’s opinion excited the administration of George Hewitt Meyes, secretary of the Army Leagues, who issued a commentators statement lauding Mr. Baker for having followed the ideas of former Secretary Root, whose opinions Mr. Baker cited freely as precedent and to whom the present secretary alluded as “one of the foremost lawyers of the country and one of the great Secretaries of War of modern times.”

RAIL MEN TO ASK REPEAL IF GIVEN 8 HOURS

Head of attainment Says Brotherhoods Are Willing to Compromise on Rest of Adamson  Law.

BY W.C. ROBERTS.

Staff Correspondent of the Examiner.
   BALTIMORE, MD., NOV. 9.—W.G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, denied to-day he had threatened a strike January 1 if the Adamson law were not put into effect. 
  “Nothing I said could have been so could have been so construed.” said Lee. “The story was made out of whole cloth.”
   Lee and Warren S. Stone of the engineers left to-day for Washington to confer tomorrow with President Wilson. W.S. Carter of the firemen and W.L. Shepherd, acting president of the conductors, also will participate in the conference.
   READY TO COMPROMISE.
   President Lee, when told of reports in Chicago that the brotherhoods and railroad officials both were in a mode to compromised the whole controversy, replied:
   “That is true, at least so far as the brotherhoods are concerned. As spokesman for the brotherhoods I made that offer last week in New York to the general managers” conference committee. If the railroads will agree to accept the basic eight-hour day for men in the train and yard service all other matters can be amicably adjusted.
   “The overtime question is out of it. The railroad officials were not ready to give us an answer and we told them we would not seek another conference, but if they wanted to meet us again they could so inform us this week while we are in Washington. 
WOULD REPEAL LAW.
  “If we can reach an agreement we are willing to ask for repeal of the Adamson law, as it would be of no further moment. We would fight any attempt to enact a compulsory investigation law like that in force in Canada. An agreement would take the whole controversy out of the courts and Congress.
   “We are ready to compromise on all questions except the basic eight-hour day. And no change can be made in that, as we are under instructions and would have to call a meeting of the 649 chairmen and obtain their consent. I understand the railroads are willing to increase wages in lieu of the basic work day. But that plan does not work out satisfactory with the brakemen. They should receive a higher percentage of increase than those receiving, much higher wages.
WANT SUITS DROPPED.
   “We objected to the injunction suits and asked they be withdrawn to clear the way for an understanding. We offered to ask the government that no railroad be penalized for at least thirty days after the law goes into effect, so we would have time to work out the necessary schedules.”
   “Hat we will do will depend on our conference it’s President Wilson to-morrow. His wishes will be respected.” 
   The four brotherhood chiefs conferred in Washington toxday with officials of the railroad department of the American Federation of Labor. They discussed an offensive and defensive alliance.

Hawaii Enervating, aAsserts Officials 
   Hawaii, with its crimson dawns and purple twilights, it wondrous Waikiki beach, its azure sea and other delights, apparently doesn’t appeal to certain members of the Post-office Department force in San Francisco. As witness this announcement:
   “Because of the many protests of officials against being obliged to live in the enervating climate of Hawaii. The position of post office inspector there has been abolished. Hereafter inspectors will be assigned there for special duty of from thirty to sixty days. No one will be obliged to remain there permanently.”

tion, and they want it now. In Philadelphia and New York they saw it, and yesterday, upon their arrival in Chicago, they saw the dire need of it. The sentiment of the committee is now at the point where dickering will not be tolerated; a concrete proposal, however, will be welcomed.
NOW IS BEST TIME.
   In view of what Charles A. Peabody, director of the Illinois Central, and representative of the Astor estate, told the aldermen in New York, they believe the present holds more hope of electrification than ever before. Unless the Illinois Central, in the submission of its terminal plans, maps out a distinct and immediate program for electrification, the committee will refuse even to consider fro plans.
   “The Illinois Central must include electrification in its terminal plans,” said Alderman William J. Healy yesterday. “If the officials do not, they might as well keep their plans to themselves. I am going to demand electrification, and I believe every other member of the committee will do likewise. The benefits of lectrification, as we saw them in the East, have convinced us this improvement must be installed by the Illinois Central.”
DIFFICULTIES IN N.Y.
   Inspection of the electrified terminals in New York gave the aldermen the best argument for electrification of the Illinois Central. In that city tremendous difficulties were faced and overcome, and enormous sums expended to bring about electrification. Comparing the money spent by eastern roads with the amount of money deemed necessary to electrify the Illinois Central is like comparing a giant with a pigmy.
   “I cannot conceive of further delay on the part of the Illinois Central as far as electrification of its tracks in concerned,” said Alderman Geiger, chairman of the railway terminals committee, who talked with Mr. Peabody in New York. “The city has the power—on account of the road’s terminal plans and its desire that they be recommended to the Council for passage—to insist upon electrification. I for one shall insist upon it, and I am positive every other member of the committee will do likewise.”

GEIGER IS CONVINCED.
   “We saw enough in the East to convince us electrification is needed in Chicago, and needed along the lake front more than any other place,” said Alderman Henry D. Capitain. “The committee knows this, and intends to work for it. The present is the best opportunity we have.”
   Alderman William F. Lipps’believes electrification of the Illinois Central is in reality an easy matter. His belief is based on information gained in New York form officials of the New York Central Lines and the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, both of which has electrified terminals.
   “They are familiar with the Illinois Central,” said Alderman Lipps “and told me the Illinois Central had no problem at all.I believe they told the truth. There is only one thing for City Council to do—that is to demand electrification now, and if our demand is refused, treat the Illinois Central the same as it has treated us.”
   Another meeting of the railway terminals commission will be held before the Illinois Central’s plans are submitted to the Council committee. Alderman Geiger said yesterday the session might be held this week.
