act. They do not want to be hampered by anything akin to compulsory arbitration in gaining their ends as they did last September.
President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor has proclaimed that the Adamson law will go into effect, "injunction or not injunction." In some quarters this is interpreted as a threat to coerce the Supreme court.
UNITE FOR EIGHT HOUR DAY.
Sharing equals interest with the opening of the investigation tomorrow was the action taken here today looking toward the formation of a working alliance between the four railroad brotherhoods and the organizations of railroad workers affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. The purpose of the alliance is to secure an extension of the eight hour day to all classes of railroad workers.
This action followed immediately the arrival in this city of the four brotherhood chiefs, W. G. Lee of the trainmen, W. S. Carter of the firemen, Warren S. Stone of the engineers, and L. E. Sheppard of the conductors, who last summer brought about the passage of the Adamson law.
The organizations independent of the four brotherhoods have a membership of about 300,000. They form a large proportion of those who recently signed the so-called Fraser petition protesting against the Adamson law. The four brotherhoods have never affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.
COURSES OPEN TO CONGRESS.
When the investigation by Newlands join [[joint]] committee is concluded it will be up to congress to pass judgment on these major proposals: Government ownership of all railroads, federal incorporation of interstate carriers, extension of government supervision to the exclusion of state control, extension of federal supervision to include all phases of operation, and the regulation of wages as well as rates and the issuance of railroad securities.
The hearings before the joint committee are to be open to everybody with anything to say on the subjects under consideration. The railroads, shippers, traveling public, and railway employés have been invited to send representatives to testify.
CONGRESS WON'T WAIT.
Representative Adamson, author of the eight hour law, said today that congress will not wait on a report from the joint committee, but will proceed at once, when it convenes, to frame bills for passage before next March.
"I do not think" he said, "that any member of congress will wait for the report of the joint committee; we will probably go ahead anyhow.
"The purpose of the committee is, first, to hear and not to talk; it will be glad to hear from anybody who knows anything about the subject. What the members of the committee want is for people who know something about the matter to come before us, and if a man is credible he need not give all of his antecedents or his official connections."

suggestions for cooperative action. Cabrerar, however, held out for control of any joint operations by a Mexican military commander, a concession the American commissioners did not feel warranted in making.

allied troops who have occupied the town.
FORCES CAN BE JOINED
News of the occupation of the town was received in Paris as one of the most important of the late developments in the war.
The Temps points out that the success is not only of immense moral value but is likely to have great influence on subsequent developments in the Balkan campaign, as the place commands all the practical routes between the Egean sea an the Adriatic sea.
The fall of Monastir, the newspaper says, involves the early fall of Ochrida, twenty-five miles to the northwest, and the region of the Macedonian lakes, and assures an effective junction of the army at Saloniki and the Italian troops operating in Albania.
TEUTONS WIN PASSES.
The joy of the allies over the Monastir victor is overcast, however, by the news, announced in Berlin, that the German and Austro-Hungarian troops have forced their way through the narrow passes of the Transylvania front to the plains of Wallachia, in Roumania.
This advance, it is admitted here, gives a new menace to Bucharest. It has been predicted by German military critics that, once through these passes, the armies of the central powers will have little trouble in conquering Roumania. 
The Germans say they have captured 19,000 men in the operations of the Wallachian front.
LONDON ADMITS PERIL
London, Nov. 20, 2:3a.m.-The military experts in the morning newspapers today call attention the seriousness of the situation in Roumania, where the Germans and Austrians report they have reached the railway which runs from the Danube to Crajova, at a point which threatens to flank the Roumanian army south of Vulcan pass. The Daily Mail says: "The enemy claims to have attained his first objective-namely, an advance to the Roumanian plain. His new position endangers the Roumanian flank and may cause a rapid retirement. This news is grave, as the presence of the enemy on the railway would compel the retreat of a large part of the Roumanian line." 
"The Germans' success, if true, is very serious," the Daily Chronicle says. "It means that the German attempt to cut off the southwest projection of Roumania has gone far toward accomplishment. The position of the Roumanian army at Orsova is precarious, and it will be lucky if it extricates itself without a catastrophe. The new advance does not directly threaten Bucharest, but gives the Germans an excellent base from which to do so."
BERLIN REPORTS GAINS.
Berlin, by Wireless to Sayville, Nov. 19.-German and Austro-Hungarian troops yesterday forced their way through the Wallachian plain. The official statement issued by the German headquarters staff today said: East of the Putna valley in the (continued of page 4, column 1.)
Autos Held Up.
A hundred fine automobiles putted and chugged and honk honked impatiently, but the great crowd neither saw nor heeded them. The voice was too husky to carry in the night air, and so he spoke but a few moments charging them to return to their homes and read their Bibles and learn the commandments by heart, particularly the first commandment.
And the second great commandment, too, he said, they should know well-love thy neighbor as thyself. To put God first and then to love the neighbors unselfishly would revolutionize the world.
Plans Fight in Party.
Before going to Orchestra hall the Commoner stopped long enough to serve notice on the two great political parties that they must write into their national platform next time a strong anti-booze plank or see the party that does do it sweep the country.
He said that he firmly believed the dry wave would cover every state in the union within a few years and that it might achieve the full triumph before 1920.
But if it didn't then, he said, the great parties must prepare to meet this as the foremost issue of 1920.
Those who heard Mr. Bryan express these sentiments, coupled with his Indianapolis declaration, gathered the impression that Mr. Bryan himself, as he was at Baltimore, will be the storm center of the next Democratic national convention, and the fight will be over a straight out prohibition plank. He is expected also to seek the Democratic nomination.
Attacks Nine False Gods.
Mr. Bryan in his set speech told first of the true God, the one God, and then of the nine false gods he had arranged on three shelfs. These nine false gods were the gods of gold, fashion, fame, ease, intellect, travel, gambling, passion, and drink. And of all the false gods, he said, the last was the worst.
He declared that three times as much money is spent annually for drink as for education from the kindergarten to the university, and five times as much for drink as for the Christian religion.
Reference to War.
His only reference to war was that if the people would surrender to the true God and banish selfishness, which is the mark for all false gods, the swords of the world would be beaten into plowshares, the war drums would cease, and the battle flags furied in the parliament of man and the federation of the world.
Mr. Bryan speaks this morning to the ministers at the First Methodist church and before the Dry federation officials at the Hotel Sherman at noon.
BROKER DROPS DEAD IN PARK

AD - FLEX THYSELF!
Class in "Perspiration Exercise" for Business Men Starts Today at C.A.A.
Slip it to the tired business man. He's going in for gymnastics and in such a way that it won't even ruffle his eyebrows. It won't mar the slick of his collar nor the crease in his trousers.
It is announced by Director Martin Delaney of the Chicago Athletic association that at noon today will be introduced the first lesson in "perspirationless exercise." "The hardest thing about getting men to take gymnasium work," said Mr. Delaney, "is that they must change to gymnasium clothes. They won't take the time or the trouble. But this way they won't have to. "I am going to give them ten minutes of breathing, bending, flexing, and other movements that will correct the position of muscles sagged out of place in the day's grind at desks. It will be medical gymnastics and is not for the young fellows, but for the more placid business men."
William J. Mohr, Robert H. Hunder, H.H. Latham, J.W. McGuire, and Col. L.M. Hamburger will be members of the first class.
GROCER BY DAY AND BURGLAR BY NIGHT, KILLED BY POLICE
Angelo Gammato Slain When Attempting to Escape After Robbery of West Side Style Shop.
A double life came to grief early yesterday when Angelo Gammato of 2216 Wentworth avenue was shot and killed while escaping from the scene of a robbery in the Forest Park Style Shop, 7337 West Madison street. Gammato was the proprietor of a small grocery and meat market.
Policeman Herman Errgang of Forest Park heard a wagon in an alley. He investigated. Two men standing inside Gammato's delivery wagon dropped bundles of merchandise and ran. Gammato reached for one of three loaded revolvers found on the seat. THe policeman fired, and Gammato fell. There was $3,000 worth of merchandise in the wagon.
Mrs. Gammato and her three little children were questioned in the Twenty-second street station. She said her husband had always been an honest man and she knew nothing of his Saturday night burglaries. Amedeo Cacci,Bernardo Laccessa, and Vincenzo Cappa, companions of Gammato, are being held for investigation.
Magazine Man Missing; Was a Suicide Fan
John Calvin Burnell, a Chicago advertising man, who fired three bullets into his skull fifteen months ago and recovered shortly afterward apparently a little worse, has been missing since Oct. 1. His friends fear he has made a new and successful attempt to end his life.
First information concerning the disappearance of Burnell, who was known as a recluse, appeared in the want ad columns of The Tribune yesterday, as follows:
Personal-Information Regarding the whereabouts of Mr. John C Burnell will be appreciated by the American Brewers' Review Co, 327 S. La Salle-st., Chicago. Phone Wabash 4534.
Typist Tells of Disappearance
The advertisement was inserted by Miss Bertha Wiederanders, a stenographer employed by the Brewers' Review, for which Burnell for many years was advertising manager. At her home, 5488 Greenwood avenue, she made this statement last night: "After Mr. Burnell left Lake View hospital, where the three bullets were removed from his head, he resumed his position with the paper. "For a time he seemed to have suffered no ill effects from the operation except that he complained occasionally of 'rumbling noises' in his head. But last March he became despondent as the result of the death of Mrs. Effie New, who had been his stenographer for thirty years, and whom he regarded as one of his closes friends.
Gives Her a Package
"On Sept. 11 he came to me with a package containing some personal effects and asked me to send it to Al Korfman, in Milwaukee, a friend of his. " 'It won't be possible to follow me on the trip I'm going to make,' he remarked. 'I won't be heard from again, very probably.'
"I became worried and had Mr. Korfman come to Chicago. He had a long talk with Mr. Burnell. For a day or two after this he seemed in high spirits. The last day I saw him was Sept. 19,"
Left Flat Oct. 1.
Inquiry among former neighbors of Burnell brought the information he had left his apartment at 4718 North Racine avenue Oct. 1. "He gave all his furniture to a wash-woman who tidied up his apartment each week," the janitor said. "He took nothing with him when he went away." Burnell was 66 years old when he attempted suicide. The story of how he fired three bullets into his head and then sat down and read a book on philosophy was published throughout the country.
HUGE WAR RELIEF PLAN PROPOSED BY HERRICK
Former Ambassador Wants United States to Raise Billion for Europe Leading Men to Take Control.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 19.-The systematic organization of all the philanthropic forces of the United States to raise a fund of a billion dollars under governmental supervision for the relief of sufferers in all the warring nations of Europe was advocated by Myron T. Herrick, former ambassador to France, in an address delivered here tonight at the home of E.T. Stotesbury.
His audience included about 200 men and women, whose combined wealth is said to run into the hundreds of millions. Motion pictures showing the work of the ambulance field service and the American aviators in France were shown. After describing the need for relief in war stricken Europe, Mr. Herrick said: "The situation can be adequately met only by the systematic organization of all the philanthropic forces of the United States. A strong central authority is needed such as only the government can give. I wish that the president had seen fit-and it is not yet too late-to appoint a large number of the leading men of the country as a committee to take charge of the whole undertaking; to coordinate all kinds of relief work, receiving the aid of federal and state governments even to the extent of appropriations.
"It is often said that the United States will have no friends when this war ends, but were we to create this gigantic charity to labor in every one of the belligerent countries for the relief of the wounded and destitute, its beneficent work would far overshadow all the animosities which now vex us."
NO BABIES TO BE FOUND IN LARGE AREAS OF POLAND
Report to American Relief Committee Shows That Many Die from Lack of Nourishment.
Boston, Mass., Nov 19.-Not a child under the age of 5 years can be found in large areas of Poland, according to a report presented to the people's relief committee for Jewish war sufferers, which opened its national convention here today.
The report, read by Morris Rothenberg of New York, in behalf of the joint distribution commission, sad that in certain sections of Poland all babies had died from lack of nourishment.
Up to date, according to Mr. Rothenberg, approximately $6,000,000 has been contributed by the Jews of America for the war victims.

Based on a distance of 666 miles in five hours and thirty-eight minutes, Miss Law flew at the rate of 1.97 miles a minute, or 118.2 miles an hour.
DELAYED AT THE START.
The start was made in Grant park yesterday morning at 8:30. There was an hour and a half of delay due to the adjustment of a carburetor. James S. Stevens, vice president of the Aero Club of America, officially observed the flight to give it the sanction of the Aero Club. "Had Miss Law started on schedule," said Mr. Stevens last night, "she would have gone through to New York with the greatest record of them all.
"The wonder of Miss Law's flight is increased when it is considered that she used a plane more than four years old. It is of the Curtiss make of the war type. I called up Mr. Curtiss on the long distance phone, and he told me Miss Law's feat is the most wonderful in all aviation. He said he did not believe the type of plane used by her would make more than 100 miles in sustained flight."
WENT INTO TRAINING
Miss Law went into training for the flight several weeks ago. Part of this consisted in sleeping in a tent on the roof of the twenty story Morrison hotel. Then she has been taking a rigorous course of exercises. At 3:30 o'clock yesterday she went to Grant park with her mechanicians and Mr. Stevens.
She made few extra preparations for the long trip. There was a small aluminum shield for her feet, and in addition to her usual costume of two suits of woolen underwear, one suit of silk and another of chamois under her leather flying habit, she wore wool lined mittens and wool lined shoes. Ordinarily Miss Law's aeroplane carries only 'twenty gallons of gasoline. With fifty-three gallons in the tanks the weight was so great that she was compelled to fly close to earth for the first part of her trip. Toward the landing at Hornell she was more than 4,000 feet in air.
NO FINANCIAL BACKING.
"Miss Law's record breaking drive is more wonderful when it is considered that she had no financial backing," said Mr. Stevens. "She paid her own expenses and only asked the sanction of the Aero club, so her record would not be questioned."
The fact that Miss Law had just installed a new engine is believed to have made her flight successful. With the old engine she had never made more than twenty-five miles a flight. She declared upon landing at Binghampton that the motor plant of her plane behaved splendidly.
A comparison of the machines used by Miss Law and Carlstrom, whose record she has beaten, illustrates the odds the Chicago girl fought. Carlstrom's plane is of the latest military tractor type, with double propellers driven by two Curtiss 100 horse power motors. The seat of the aviator is inclosed is an
