President -Wilson
Visits Congress and
Causes Speculation
Washington, Aug. 26. President Wil
son arrived at the. capital at 2:33 p. m.
without advance notice of his intention
to call on congress. .
The president -went immediately .to
the " president 'b room ' ' off the senate
chamber. , . .
He sent at once for Senator New
lands, chairman of the senate inter
state commerce commission and Sen
ator Kern, democratic floor leader.
After the president and two senators,
with Secretary Tumulty, who arrived
after the president, had been in con
ference for 38 minutes, the president
himself came out and spoke to the
waiting newspapermen.
Ho said he had come to the capitol
on "certain matters of legislation."
"I hope that is satisfactorv .' he
said in conclusion..
He could uot discuss his visit beyond
mat puuiE, ue saiu.
He left immediately for Mi vi,;t
House, Kern and Newlauds returning
to the senate floor.
At the Willard hotel, railroad presi
dents in their "rival sessions", direct
ing a proposal to submit to Ihe presi
dent, w ere greatly puzzled by the news
that he had gone to the capitol. They
said thew knew M n0 step he could
take until they had given him the
proposition on which they had been
working all day.
Senator N'ewlands, prior to the ar
rival of the president, had discussed
informally with other senators the en
actment of legislation bearing on the
railroad controversy. One subject he
took up was that of increasing the
membership of. ,, the interstate com
merce commission to nine, adding two
members. He also discussed plans of
arbitration that wpuld be in part com
pulsory preventing .strikes or lockouts
pending action by an arbitration board.
Senator Kern,.-in--reply to questions,
said there was no chance that there
would be any action on the flocc .of
the senate on the strike situation. Kor
was there any thance .of such nctt n
in oommittee," he said.
Stock Brokers Await
Railway Strike Outcome
New York. 'Ann.' 2(1. The New York
Evening Sun finaacial review toduv
says:
New committments' were light today,
both traders and the outsiders appar
ently being unwilling to extend their
accounts pending more definite news
from Washington regarding the railroad
labor controversy, which to many op
erators in stocks had taken a turn that
might bring a widespread strike or a
settlement at any moment.
Following a weak opening, in which,
however little stock came out, the gen
eral tendency of prices was in the di
rection of lower levels, without accom
panying any marked depression or any
indication on the part of real holders
of securities of an intention to go into
a panic because o'f the apparent gravity
of the labor outlook in the American
rail transportation business.
Covering of shorts and uencrnl adiust-
ments incident to the end of the week
made up a good proportion of the early
business in the list of prominent stocks,
notably United States Steels, the rails
and some of the coppers, covering at
times being active enough to carry
prices above their first records.
Irregular movements murked trading
in the last hour but the general level of
market values presented an underlying
firmness with first hour 'losses, in some
instances in part or wholly recovered
before the close.
Wheat Prices Lower.
Chicago, Aug. 20. Favorable reports
from Alberta that the crop there will
be a good one, helped to lower wheat
prices today. Gains were 'made at the
opening on bullish Liverpool cables. A
flod of. selling orders jut befoio the
close gave pit traders quite, a. surprise.
Broker ' wire reports that a railroad
.strike was certain, were said to be the
cause. September closed two below the
opening at $1.51 3-4; December down 1
at $1.5i; May down 2 at l.id."
Corn followed wheat. I'p at the op
ening on good buying, it weakened on
the decline in wheat. September wns
down half at 80; December dowu 7-8
at 75; May down half at 78 12.
Increased offerings on the bulge were
: responsible for a drop In oats after
early gains made on strong buying. Sep
tember was dowu half at '10'7 S;! De
cember down 58 at 49 3-4; anil Muv
down half at 53 1-4.
Provisions were largely higher on a
strong hog market.
