Washington, Mar. 10. Faced by the jxchange, and the methods gravest Domestic situation which has threatcnedho country in many months, President Wilson today called his cab inet into session at 2:30 to determine a courso of action in the fight between the railroads and their employes. Tho president's hands, it is admitted, are tied insofar as being able to adopt any drastic measures to ward off the threatened strike of the brotherhoods. Inquiries wul probably be made in tne possibility of the government bring ing injunction proceedings to provent a striKe, at peaceful settlement is mi possible or perhaps asking receiverships lor tne roails and operating them in this way. Ho appeared to have but two courses open a patriotic appeal to both -mdes in the controversy to make concessions, in view of the grave international crisis and prevent the impending tieup of the country 's transportation system, or the summoning iute ronference with him of representatives from the railroads and brotherhoods in an effort to mediate their differences. The administration regards the strike situation" as an extremely grave ques tion, in which each sido of the contro versy is partly to blame for assuming a aogmaiic position. ine president is expected to make clear to tho people of the country his opinion of the situation should all efforts to avert a strike fail. There is also a, possibility of hastening a session of congress, if necessarv. in order to secure powers for the president to bring government forces into play and handle tho crisis. . The president, still weakened from his- protracted illness, will leave'his room for the first time in nine days to attend tho cabinet meeting. ' President Maw Mediate. New York, Mar. 16 Indications that President Wilson may be asked to medi ate in the threatened railway strike scheduled to begin tomorrow evening developed today when the railroad man agers hurriedly went into conference shortly after W. G. Lee, speaking as president o the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen, suggested the step. The brotherhood chiefs followed the example of the managers and also went into an informal conference. Lee made his statement in talking with newspapermen and the quickness with which the railway managers went into conference, led to the belief that it was being favorably considered. W. G. Lee, chairman of tho train men's brotherhood, declared today that o per cent or the men called out Sat urday night will strike. "The railway managers cannot get it into their heads that this strike is real and apparently they will not believe it until they wake up Sunday morning and find their trains stopped," he said. Tho railroads claim at least 25 per cent of their men will remain loyal, this group being composed of men who have long service behind: them and are nearing the time when pensions would become operative; President Daniel Willard of the Bal timore He Ohio, a member of the Na tional Defense Council, who would sit with President Wilson's cabinet in case of war is in Washington today. He left immediately after the break in ne gotiations and there was hope here that the fact that he is a former engineer, a railway president, and semi-official ad viser o President Wilson would en able him to draw together the various threads of the controversy. are of the -standard required by the exchange. It is the plan to take in only the better orchards or th'e or chard o the better growers. The eligibility of a grower to come in to the exchange willc determined by ex amination as to his onhard practice and inspection of his orchard in the bearing season. It is the belief of those who have engaged in the new enterprise that tho plan of. organization puts every grower on an equal footing with an other, and the standard of fruit and orchard prractice is elevated and kept up. There is to be standardization of orchard, brand, markettng, and at all times tne highest ideals will be main tamed as to quality. Onlv those who are qualified will be admitted to the will be such as to encourage a uniform devel opment of orchard industry. It is the purpose of the organization to develop a brand name for the pro ducts of the growers,.nd to permit meniDers to sell under the brand of the exchange. The idea of the fruit having been grown on non-irrigated land will be featured. Prizes will be offered for the best name of a brand and tho details of the '"brand" contest will be worked out in the near future. t The policy of the exchange for the present will be to contract with grow ers to control the tonnace. so that it may be in a position to close cntrncts with the pest selling organizations of The northwest. It is stated the expense of maintenance of the exchange, at least for the first year, will be prac tically nil. Individuals and organiza tions will handle the grading and pack ing under uniform grading rules. That the tonnage this year will be large is emphasized in the statement that between 4,0U0 nnd v 5,000 acres come into eoinmerieal bearing. It is believed the organization of tho ex change is a timely move, coming at a time when so much fruit is coming into bearing and also at a time when there is no . organization for handling fresh fruit. There arc a number of large orchard tracts among the new orchards of the valley and it is argued that, because of the number of large units the indi vidual membership. will be much small er than in similar organizations in the northwest, and the exchange will be less cumbersome and unwieldly. E. L. Kleiner of Alva dare, Lane county, is president, K. M. Kwing of Dallas is vice president and B. W, Johnson of Monroe is secretary-treasurer of the new organization. The ex ecutive committee is composed of tho president, secretary and Professor C 1. Lewis, head of the Horticultural de partment at O. A. ('. .Every county in the valley was rep resented nt the meeting, thus present representing a total of 12,000 acres of young orchards, a part of which are to 'become commercial orchards this year. The exchange is a corporation and tho stock will be subscribed in pro portion to the acreage a grower owns. A five acre tract will subscribe to five share Qf, stock and the man having 100 acres of fruit will be asked to sub scribe $100 worth of stock.
