Is Woodrow Wilson in 1916 to do what Theodore Roosevelt did in 1903 and thereby gather unto himself personal and political capital? Neither RepuDlicans nor Democrats, of course, want a big: railroad strike to materialize, but it is the truth to say that the Republicans hope that a strike will be averted by means other than the personal intervention of the President. Some of the Republican leaders ad mitted today that if all other means failed and Woodrow Wilson prevented a strike and satisfied both parties to the controversy, he would gain much political prestige. It is said that the President has no power to prevent a. strike. Everybody knows that while be does not have the power he can. if he dares take it, and at any rate he has influence enough probably to make employers and em ployes listen to a rule of reason laid down in the White House. Case Differs From Coal Strike. The circumstances of the present case are different from those of the coal strike in 1903. Then a strike was in progress, anthracite was selling in the Dakotas for 22 a ton. It' was the middle of a fierce Winter, the poor were suffering, the coal operators and some of the railroad operators, the two being in many instances the same, were obstinate, and so were the coal miners. Theodore Roosevelt was In the White House. He sent for the representatives of the minine interests. Railroad men and mine operators, largely one and the same thing, went to the white House by summons of the President. He clicked his teeth at them and told them to make concessions. He was using what the timid, call extra-consti tutional methods. The operators made concessions, "he miners returned to work and the anthracite coal commis sion was appointed to inquire into con ditione and to make a report. When Theodore Roosevelt went Into the coal resrlon of Pennsylvania & lo-og time after the strike had been settled he was received by the miners as no man ever had been received by them before. They hailed him as & warrior and a Samaritan in one, and. moreover the railroad and mine operators, who had called him a Czar, were in a for giving mood and even ready to praise . .

LEADERS SILENCE Impression Grows That Arbitration in Some Form Will Be Agreed Upon President Holds At titude of listening. (Continued From First Page.) Special Board May Be Proposed. The balance of power, they contend. Is too close and as a result the em ployes have suffered. Indications were into the threatened railroad strike would not be a remedy for the crlsi at the present moment. President Wil son said in a letter received by Presi dent Weed, of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, today. The communication, dated August 11, follows: "My Dear Mr. Weed Allow me to acknowledge the receipt of your tele gram of August 9 conveying to me the vote of the Boston Chamber of Commerce recommending that the In terstate Commerce Commission be in structed by Congress to ascertain the facts in the pending railroad contro versy. "You need not doubt that the full im portance and gravity of the now acute controversy between the railroads and their employes has been a constant subject of thought and conference with me, or that X have been trying to make sure that no means of assisting a settlement was overlooked. 'There is no compulsion of law available by which we could oblige either party to the controversy to await the findings of an inquiry by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and it seems to me that such an inquiry Is not the remedy at the moment. "As I write conferences are in prog ress in New York City between both parties to the controversy and the Fed eral board of mediation and concilia tion, and I am hourly awaiting a re ply from these conferences before de termining what is my duty."
