As a bait to the President the com mittee adopted unanimously a resolu tion eulogistic In Ita term., conveying assurance of loyalty, and carrying the implied declaration that the country waa afer In lb hand, of President Wilson than It would be In tha band of anyone else. Then the committee went in a body to the White Houae and lunched with the President. It waa an official recognition of the President a tba head of the party, the nret of the kind that ha. been given In mora than a year, or since It began to be generally reported throughout the country that President Wilson I. to be the Hemooretlc party atandard bearer In nil.

Some of the increases for which the roads asked were disapproved, but such as were allowed will result in an in crease in revenue. Proposed Increases from points with, in which new rates were authorised to point on the main line in Cali fornia, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Colored-., Wyoming, New Mexico. Arkansas. Oklahoma and Texa were pronounced unreasonable where the fare would be higher than tbat constructed on the rata fabrlo existing to the east- A basing rate of IVi cents a mile In North and South Dakota and S cents In the state south and east wa approved. The Commission held that the evi dence In the case. In which nearly 50 roads were Involved and which was part of the whole Western advance rate case, showed substantially the fol lowing: That since 1900 the railroads have made substantial Improvements in pas senger service for convenience and safety at a great expense That passenger service condition do not permit economies possible In the freight service, and that the Increased costs not ofTset by those economies which exist are entitled to considera tion. That passenger service in the West ern territory is less . profitable than freight service. The decision recites that the public has the right to expect adequate, com fortable and safe service. The Com mission said: "For uch service and facilities the carrier should be allowed, under rea sonable fares, to earn a reasonable re turn upon the property used in that service. Neither competition nor the unreasonable demands of the public however, must be made tb excuse for waste and extravagance In the passen ger service."

There is no basis a yet for saying that the ques tion between us and the railroads will or will not be arbitrated, nor can any one at this time say whether there will or will not be a strike.' The conferences of heads of th vari ous organisations of railway engineers, firemen, conductor and trainmen closed today.
