, Foar years ago, presidential can
didate (poke to a thla. gaont repre
aentatire of Mr. Common People, ia
Railroad Park. The day waa bright
and son-shiny, hot the speech waa not
too well accepted. Mr. Common
People had already done hla thinking.
Today with mid-aammer thunder
rambling over the Rogae Hirer
Mountain and heavy elouda constant
ly threatening, rain and storm, the
people of the valley crowded Railroad
Park to aee the Repnblican nominee
for president ot the United States, and
hear what he had to say. Mr. Com
mon people ia very much interested
tn what Mr. Hughes aays. . He leaves
alfalfa in the field, exposed to rain,
drives over long country roada, and
polling his alonch hat, tightly over
his head with the old over-coat col
lar turned up, he considers the few
minutes speech well worth the sacri
fices made. Mr. Common People likes
to size up his man personally, if he
...... t ,
thinks him worth a second thought.
A glance over the countenance of the
Common Peoplo after Mr. Bughea
Caiahed, showed that the aeeond
thought was satisfactory, and Is giv
ing rise to a good many third and
fourth thoughts. There Is little
doubt what those thoughts are. Mr.
Hughes will get his pleasant second
thought after November, and will fol
low with locally profitable third and
fourth thoughts from the White
House In Washington.
This la an extraordinary year. It

Washington, A use. 17. Men who
have fought and found the way to
defeat cholera, fever and scourage
of many kinds, gathered today from
all parts of the United Staffs to con
sider a national fight on the Infantile
paralysis epidemic now taking the
lives of American babies. When the
first session opened In the United
State public health service building
there were representatives present
from 38 different Mates. This Includ
ed men who have helped conquer
bubonic plague outbreaks, cholera,
yellow fever, typhoid, wpotted fever
and many other malignant enemies
They declare themselves hopeful of
success against the preoent plague.

Jaatment
The railroad brotherhoods hare
instated steadily that there ia no other
effective method ot enforcing the
eight hour day. The president's
problem, if the railroads definitely
concede the eight hour principle to
the extent of agreeing to give It a
trial, seems to he to convince the
railroad employes that the time and
a half overtime Issne should be held
In obeyaace daring the trial period.
Interest rested chiefly In the sol
emn session this afternoon la t&e
beautiful east room, celebrated only
for affairs of social splendor, from
the days when Dolly Madison danc
ed, down to the present The gor
geous furniture was removed and
camp chairs crowded closely together
oa the polished floor: "The session
beginning at 3 o'clock was expected!
to last one hour and possibly two or
three.
The employes' representatives were
serious and. for the most part, si
lent, as the time approached for their
gathering at the White House. What
they are prepared to concede, none
would say. Some of the leading
members of the general committee In
dicated their belief that a way waa
about to be found to prevent the
clash that seemed inevitable less than
a week ago. But what the way might
be. tbey would not discuss.
They Jammed the corridors of the
old time Pennsylvania avenue hotels,
near the eapitol, where they have
made their headquarters and strolled
back "and forth along the avenue,
keeping always close to their hotels,
to be ready. If necessary, to confer.
For the most part they were the man
ner of men who had reached a con
clusion and there was little debating
among themselves.
Occasional groups developed all
oa ore aide over the merits of their
fight, tut the greater number of the
district chairmen seemed concerned
with the task of seeing a much of
Washingtor aa conld be aeen from
tf-e rldewa'kf of the avenue.
The enplcyes' sub-committee went
Into weret conference at the National
hcte'. this forenoon. 3udge W. L.
Chambers of the federal board of
mediation and conciliation was pres
ent for rrt of the conference, but
left early.
Judge Chambers brought to the
brotherhood heads during the morn
ing a question from President Wilson,
based, it is said, on the last com
munication from the railroad man
agers, opposing the eight hour day.
He remained only seven or eight
minutes during which time he was
given his reply. 4
The president's action resulted
from the attitude taken by the rail
road managers, in a statement left
at the White House last nlgbt by
Ellflha Lee, chairman of their com
mittee. In tbls they strongly indi
cated they would not concede -the
eight hour principle even for the pro
posed trial period and that the
strongest concession they would make
would be to submit the whole matter
to arbitration, the presidenMo name
the arbitrators.
Today the managers showed no dls
poBltlon to recede from this position.
Several . of them declared they saw
politics in the presidents effortfl,
since accepting this plan would mean
putting the whole matter over until
after elections. The committeemen
could not accomplish anything tang
ible before next spring, they said.
The managers apparently are un-
theni to avoid taddea strikes ia the
futur. ' '
Three ballots havs beea taken In
the past two days. It was said to
day, and each time the maaagera have
voted dowa the president's proposal.
The railway president to whom the
president addressed hia message to
day were:
Daniel Wlllard. Baltimore A Ohio.
Samuel Rea. Pennsylvania.
A. H. Smith. New York Central.
F. D. Underwood. Erie.
Wo. Taesdale. lcka wanna.

At 11 a. m., after conferring with
the employes. Judge Chambers went
to the White House. He took aome
additional statistics to the president,
further data shoving the effect of the
application of the eight hour day to
revenues. He says the president, ia
formulating the proposition he will
make to both aides, desire full de
tails of the possible effect on both
the working conditions and railroad
incomes. As to the outlook. Chamb
ers would not express himself. . .
Chambers' message from the prwi
deal to the niyloyea today asked how
the men understood his proposal.
This was carefully explained ana
Chambers Informed them that they
bad not mistaken the chief executive's
position. One of the foremost leaders
of the employe said: . -
"It appears very much as though
the managers Intend to stand pat Ws
axe perfectly willing they should do
that,, aa long aa the president stands
aa Judge between the parties. One
little statement from him, placing
the responsibility for any failure tp
get together, would be something
that neither side can afford to face
Aa for ua, we came here with the
idea of accepting what President Wil
son regarda as fair.".
The employee will accept no .temp
orary settlement of major Issues, sn
other leader said. The question of
the eight hour day, he said, most be
determined finally, though be admit
ted that perhaps a board of investiga
tion on other subjects of less im
portance would be acceptable to the
mem
had summoned the railroad presidents
had sumoned tfle railroad presidents
to appear, one of tne leaaers saia:
i bad been expecting that."
A meeting of the district chairmen
was called for one o'clock this after
noon at the Bijou theatre. ' 1 -
