continue discussion of President Wil
son's proposals looking toward peace.
An outstanding feature of the gather
ing of railway presidents today was
that there appeared no organized plan
afoot to meet the situation created by
the president's firm refusal to recede
from his demands on them.
Up to tho Railroads.
Their tentative plan was to have the
new group of presidents coming in to
day see the president separately and
hear from him the same argument they
heard Saturday. They anticipated, too,
that still other railway executives may
be called to Wnshington by the presi
dent, they said.
For their part, the brotherhood rep
resentatives, through A. B. Oarertson,
made it known today that they do not
intend to deviate from the president's
plan.
Answering persistent suggestions that
the executive will offer a compromise
solution, Onrretson told the United
Tress:
"The president hns announced what
he regards a fair plan of settlement. If
there is to be any deviation, it will not
be from onr side."
Upon the final decision of the rail
road executives and the final action
taken by the president it would appear
from Ourretson's statement, deiends
whether that the thousands of mills are
likely to stop, cities face food and fuel
shortages and the entire country be
come prostrated before what it is be
lieved would be the greatest struggle
between capital and labor in history.
Various cities have estimated they
would face food und fuel shortages
within a week after a general transpor
tation tie-up.
Loss to producers of perishable and
fiemi-perishablc commodities would, be
so great that approximation is simply
impossible, it was said at the depart
ment of agriculture today.
Beyond Comprehension.
"Any computation of figures, how
ever conservative, would be so enormous
that the average citizen could not com
prehend it," -said (i. 0. White, acting
chief of the office of market a of the
department today.
A strike within the next few weeks,
even if it lasted less than a week, ac
cording to White, would work an almost
immeasurable havoc to the peach and

;Cal., Aug 10. Dear I'oilks: ' Have been
wu uusj to wnie oeiorc, getting our
camp in condition. Have been digging
ditches, etc. Why we have even flow
ers in front of our tent and they are
building wooden mess houses for us so
that looks like we will be down here for
a while. I am not going to school, al
though several of the boys are. I came
down here with Company M aud am go
ing back with them. We haven't got
paid yet and the boys are getting pret
ty nervous about it but you don 't need
to send me any, I got all I urn going to
get off of you until I get home any
way. I received I.eondinc's box and it
sure was great. The boys in my squad
thought so too, but never mind any
more for a while, it's too rich for us.
Three of us, Bert Davey. Kay Nado and
myself, went to San Diego Saturday
night and attended a military mass at
the exposition. It was the biggest mass
I ever hope to see. It was said at the
big outdoor organ, maybe you have
heard it, it is the biggest one in the
world. A building is built around it.
Big benches were arranged around it,
and there must have been between 2,000
and 3,000 people there; and tall: about
juur moving picture matinees ami cam
eras, it sure was some affair. I am
seeing different things all the time. We
went through Coromlo Beach, a great
resort for the rich., There was the big
gest hotel there I ever saw. When I
become a millionaire 1 am coming back
and stay there.

don't worry. I will get along all right.

apple growers of the northwest. This
crop is just beginning to move. As it
is now, with conditions normal, there
is a freight car shortage that is annoy
ing fruit growers and railroad men. To
matoes, watermelons nnd cunteloupes by
the millions would rot in the fields or
at termiuals, should crop movements
stop.
Very few cities, according to Chief
! White, have sufficient commodities
aud delicacies of this kind to lust more
than a 'few weeks at most.
I Pittsburg, he said, is a typical case.
, The territory within 100 miles of the
smokey city doesn't produce two per
cent of the amount used there. Witlini
two or three days such commodities
would be used up. It would be out of
the question, White believes, to relieve
the situation with horse drawn or motor
propell d vehicles.
"Hundreds of cities," said White,
"would be reduced to a bread and meat
diet. And this diet could not Inst long
in some localities."
Would Stop All Industries. . .
White declared industrial plants in
every section of the country would tie
forced to close down through absence
of raw materials. Millions of workers
in such vlnnts would bo forced out of
work. With salaries thus cut off, they
would be unable to purchase necessaries
of life even were they to be had.
"Movement of grain crops, which be
gins in the Texas Panhandle early in
June and continues through September
and October until the monster vields of
northwest fields are in the elevators
or nt the mills, obviously would cease,"
said White.
"At this time some 5,000.000 bushels
of wheat have just started moving from
the Pacific northwest Oregon, Idaho
and Washington to Pacific terminals
for shipment vin the canal and the horn
to Europe. It is easy to see what would
happen to these crops were the rail
roads to stop operating.
"Of course grain uow stored in ele
vators would not be lost, but without
the railroads these grains could not be
moved to the mills, nnd elevators stor
age for crops already harvested or
about to be harvested would be out of
the question. Complete loss of these
millions of bushels of gruin therefore
would be threatened."
1 ncle Sam is getting ready financial
ly to move the nation's crop.
I The financial board is getting re
quests from its agents for currency to
meet the demands for money.
The threatened railroad strike is men
acing wheat men who have thousands of
bushels at railroad stations in the north-
west states, gambling on their chances
of getting their crops to market.
Meeting briefly this forenoon; the
employes heard approving telegrams
from labor bodies, and individuals nnd
then adjourned until 10:.'!0 o'clock to
morrow. Call at White House.

for a 2:30 p. m. conference today c-'
cepted the president's invitation un
willingly. They bad other plans, one of
which was to see the president tomor-,
row and then hold a meeting of their I
own Wednesday at the Metropolitan
club.
However, when the 14 new arrival
among the railway executives, sent word
to the president they were hero, he im
mediately called for the meeting of the
whole number this afternoon.
The railway presidents, augmented by
the new arrivals, arranged for a con
ference with President Wilson at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon. It is under
stood the president earlier in the day
bad suggested such a meeting in re
sponse to intimations that the railway
heads desired further development of
some of the ideas expressed in his pub
lic statement Saturday. They want to
know what may be expected in the way
of co-operation from the interests to
commerce commission in case ot neces
sary rate adjustments and also what the
president may have in mind regarding
future prevention , of crisis like the
present.
The conference of railway presi
dents this morning was unique. Men
representing millions of dollars of rail
way wealth moved about the tenth floor
of the new Willard in their shirt sleeves
"getting down to brans tucks," on the
situation confronting them. It was all
informal, the executives talking, first,
in one group, then in another "seeking
ideas and opinions." There was no

apparent effort to organize and agree
upon a general plan of procedure. Rep
resentatives of the managers commit
tee were present at the conference.
Karlv in the day the executives' as
sistants were instructed to clip from all
available papers, editorial comments on
the president proposition. The execu
tives are trying to got the trend oT
public opinion, which they freely admit
is an important consideration.
Trying to Force Situation.
Washington, Aug. 21. Big railroad
men of the west hurrying into Wash
ington today with the single demand of
"arbitration" on their lips Yound
President Wilson 'a answer awaiting
them. It is that acceptance of the eight
hour day now and appointment of a
commission to incestigate all the arbi
tration points involved in the threaten
ed railway strike, in the surest means
toward bringing about a permanent
workable arbitration for the future.
Arrival of the western railroad presi
dents and receipt of hundreds of tele
grams from commercial and industrial
concerns all over the country were the
features of the first day of the second
week of the president's intervention be
tween the warring railroads and rail
road brotherhoods. The presidents came
at President Wilson ' invitntion and
the telegrams in part at least at the
invitation of the railroads.
Railroad executives here made no se
cret of the fact that they were lining up
all possible business support for their

arbitration contention.
The president made his answer knowu
in reply to one of thee telegrams, that
jfrom Ueorge Pope, president of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers.
Pope declared, 3,700 manufactuing con
cerns employing 3,000,000 persona are
'utterly dependent upon uninterrupted
.stoppage of railroad service nnd at th
same time to maintain tho principle of
arbitration.
Would Stop it Permanently.
Existing means have failed the presi
dent replied and declared he is moving
jto strengthen the principle of arbitra
tion so tnat sucn a situation cannot
arise again. Regarding the eight hour
day be said in his telegram to Pope,
"The whole economic movement of the
time," seems to point to it.
The opinion in Washington today is
that demands on the president by the
railroad heads of arbitration of the
eight hour day question, therefore will
not move him.
The conflict would seem to be irrecon
cilable, but the feeling in Washington
is unmistakable that in tome manner
the strike will be avoided.
The representatives of the brother
hoods now consider themselves more or
less on the sidelines. It has become a
struggle between President Wilson aud
the railroads for the time being they
say, and they nro waiting to see how it
comes out before they again take a
hand.
I.ouis W. Hill, head of the Great
Northern, arrived at t:-0 u. m. He was
-because'
eyre
best
, given a hearty greeting by other presi
. dents and railway men in the lobby of
the Willard hotel. He declined to talk
about the strike until he had had time
to go over the situation with other exec
utives. The lutter had arrauged a meet
ing for 4 o'clock at which time the man
agen were also to have a meeting.
Railroads May Agree.
Other presidents arriving during the
morning were E. P. Ripley, Hanta I;
Jacob M. Dickinson, former secretary
of war, now receiver for the Rock Is
land; Ralph Peter, Long Island; C. R.
Orey, Western Maryland; L. E. Johnson,
Norfolk and Western.
The men apparently are satisfied to
have won the president's support of the
eight hour day. On other points they
may be expected to yield ithould dead
lock be reached on the present negotia
tions and further efforts be necessary.
While there is nothing on the surface
to indicate the managers or executives
will do other than stand pat for arbitra
tion, there are deep seuted rumblings
around their headquarters today that
their councils are divided on the point
and that somo counter proposition may
be forthcoming.
"There is no intention of putting the
ruilroad before the good of the coun
try," one official declared.
' ' Xo one man has ever been known to
break the president's conviction on a
point, once bis mind is made up," an
other suid.

of course and he may be able to force

All of which is taken to indicate tlmh

will be a brief session, the president
will be notified they arc here and thoy
