Wilson's decision to turn the railroads
back to their owners March I brought
into prominence two phases of tho al
ready complicated railroad problem.
Kirst the president's action ap
parently postponed a "near crisis"
brought on by request of railroad
workers for more money with th de
mand that they receive an answer to
these requests before the roads pas
out of the government' hands.
Second, the railroad question ha
apparently been made a political laaue.
The two phases are interwoven alnca
the railroad workers threaten to carry
their agitation for continuation of
government control to the ballot bog.
L'nltl Wednesday night when the pre
sident's proclamation was issued, the
wasrkers have gone on the assumption
that the roads would be turned by

actively pressing demands for In
creases before that date. Now that
