Charle.s K. Hughesi, before an audi ence in the Ice Rink, here last n ght assailed the democratic party for its policy toward the Philippines. "We cannot afford in this country to lose sight of our national obliga- tions,'' .Mr. Hughes said. "Our friends on the other side were almost ready to say that we should abandon the Phil ippines. That was a matter of na tional honor. We assumed obliga tions there which we are bound to j discharge. "It is not so much a matter of self- interest. I do not care so much with respect to the argument of self interest, liut when this nation un dertakes before the world a responsi bllity, it must discharge it. "And we ought not to consider the suggestion of scuttling out of the i'hiiippincs to leave them in the pre dicament which you know perfectly well without my describing it. the nominee reiterated his argu ments for a protective tariff, for com mercial preparation for the competi tion with Europe after the war, for "reasonable, adequate preparedness" and repeated his declaration that the democratic part was opposed to na tional progress. "Why. it I was s member of that party and I speak with all good na ture, because we are threshing things ( ut here now and looked through the platforms of the past. I should feel that I was going through a cem etery richly embellished with monur ments." Mr. Hughes referred to the number or unemployed in 1914, due largely, he said, to the Underwood tariff.

Wilson Calls Presidents of Eighteen Railroads Action is Result of Managers1 Refusal to Concede the Eight Hour Day-Pressure is Brought to Bear to Submit Situation to Arbitration. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. Wilton has proposed the im mediate granting of an the eight hour day, the appointment of a presidential commission to investigate the other demands. The trainmen started a caucus immediately after the confer ence. The leaders predicted they would overwhelmingly ac cept Wilson 's plan. WASHINGTON, Aug., 17. Six hundred forty of the railroad brotherhoods general committee began entering the White House at two forty five. A large crowd witnessed the arrival. Before the meeting A. B. Garretson of the conduc ters, received a copy of Wilson's proposal. It was only ten lines. Garretson refused to discloie contents. Wilson met the committee at three o'clock and personally read the proposal. Five railway presidents left Chicago enroute to Washington this afternoon in response to Wilscn's call. President Ripely of Santa Fe did not go. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. Wilson long distance telephoned President Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. He tele graphed eighteen railroad presidents: "The discussion of mat ters involved in the threatened strike has reached a point imag ing it highly desirable that I personally confer with you at the earliest possible moment. Hope you make it convenient to come to Washington immediately." Wilson's action was a result of the railroad managers refusal to concede the eight hour day. Last night the managers urged Wilson to submit the whole dispute to arbitration. Wilson's ar guments did not move the managers. Several charged him with attempting to delay settlement until after election. It is learned the managers balloted against Wilson's proposal thrice during the dast two days. Six hundred and forty trainmen's representatives are here ready to meet Wilson at three this afternoon. They secretly conferred at the National hotel this morning. The historical White House east room is prepared for the session this afternoon. The gorgeous state furniture has been removed. Camp chairs are crowded closely on the polished floor. The definite terms of Wilson's proposal are not known. The basic idea is an agreement whereby the eight hour day becomes effective immediately. Trainmens representatives were serious and silent as the conference hour approached. They did not divulge what thev were prepared to concede. They jammed the corridors of the old time Pennsylvania avenue hotels. Their minds were ap parently determined as there was little debating among them selves. Federal Mediator Chambers brought the brotherhood heads this morning a question from Wilson based on the managers last communication refusing the eight hour dav. He remained eight minutes and took the reply to the White House. Wilson sent Chambers to ask the trainmen if the president's attitude was thoroughly understood. He replied in the affirma tive. One brotherhood leader said : "Evidentlv the managers in tend to stand pat. We're willing, while the president is the .judge between the parties. We intend to accept what Wilson believes fair." Another leader said a temporary settlement of major issues was not acceptable. The district chairmen met at the Bijou theatre early this afternoon. NEW ()RK. Aug. 17. A dozen railway presidents leave here at four this afternoon enroute to Washington in response to Wilson's summons. Railway managers headtiiitirtcrs an nounced that other presidents leave Chicago tonight, arriving at Washington tomorrow. i;ii.I!oi. lll vivs I NDECrnEI) I IDN UX'KPT ANTt or PREfcl Di NTS INVITATION, CHICAOO, Aug. 17 All anil I Washington are vacationing exct 1 Ripley is undecided whether to a John M.
