INSISTENCE ON ARBITRATION
President Wilson Tells Railroad Presidents that
if Strike Comes the People Will Know Who
is Responsible Additional Presidents from
the West are Called by the Chief Executive
Issues Statement Reviewing Plan- Repre
sentatives of Employes Will Remain Inactive
Until Released by the President '
(By The Associated Press 1
Washington, Aug. 19 President
Wilson appealed tu the railrottd of
ficials today to abandon their insis
tence on arbitration of the dispute
threatening a Nation-wide strike and
to accept his plan nf settlement, al
ready agreed to by the employes, be
cause, in his opinion, the railroads
are contending for a principle which
it seemingly is impossible to apply
to the present situation.
In one of the most dramatic scenps
known to the White House in re
cent years, the President declared to
the heads of five billion dollars' worth !
of properties, assembled at his sum
mons: President Not Henponsllile
"If a strike comes, the public will
know where the responsibility rests.
It will not be upon me."
A few minutes later, die issued a
statement saying: "The public has the
right to expect" acceptance of his
plan. (I
Refusing accjeptance for the pres
ent, but not giving a final answer,
Hale Holden, president of the Rur
llngtnn roads and spokesman for the
33 railroad officials, urged the Pren
Ident to uphold the principle of ar
bitration, and declared his plan
would "place In peril all that has
been accomplished in the pieeful
adjustment of labor controversies by
methods of arbitration."
Calls More Presidents
At the close of the conference, Wil
son summoned to Washington addi
tional railroad presidents from the
west, and the executes already here
told him they would confer among
themselves and return next week,
probably Monday. Tn the meantime,
representative of both the roads and
the employes will remain here, hold
ing informal conferences.
The situation tonight was described
by a railroad prehident as "not hope
lees, but grave." It Is at a stand
still until Monday at least.
..Discussion of counter proposals and
compromises were current, and seri
ous consideration was giveMi to the
possibility of government operation
of the railroads in case of a strike.
It was said on good authority to
night, however, that mtiny of the
road presidents looked upon the pos
sibility of a strike as more remote
than at any time since they came to
Washington. It still was considered
possible that some of the powerful
directors of the roads would be call
ed to Washington. Both among the
employers and employes, talk of ar
rangements for a strike continued,
and for different reasons each side
thought if it came it would last less
than a wr'ek.
While President Wilson was discus
sing with the railroad executives,
telling them they faced a condition
not a principle, his statement to the
country reviewing his plan and char
acterizing it as "a thoroughly prac
ticable and fair programme," was
given out at the White House. In the
statement he urged adoption of the
eight hour day because he "believed
the concession right," suggested the
creation bv Congress of a body of
men to Investigate the results and
urged the abandonment of the de
mand for time ami half over time pay
by the men and the) "contingent pro
posals fcv the railroads."

REMARKABLE RECORD OF
PRESENT CONGRESS IN
GIVING AID TO FARMERS
(Ity Goo. II. Manning)
' Washington, - Aug.- 19.- In -a letter
that might well be entitled "What
the Democratic Party has done for
the Farmer," President Wilson sets
forth the remarkable record of the
present Congress in placing legisla
tion on the statute books peculiarly
relating to the welfare of the farming
committees.
The . ietter, which was written to
Chairman Asbtijy K. Lever of the
House of Representatives Committee
on Agriculture, on the occasion of
the signing of the agriculture appro
priation bill by the President two or
three days ago, was placed In the
Congressional Record by Lever today.
It sums up a remarkable record of
"farming" legislation that in all prob
ability far surpasses ; the achieve
ments of any former Congress in his
tory. Stating that he could not let the
ocacsion of signing the agricultural
appropriation bill pass without con
veying to Chairman Lever and his as
sociates In both the House and Sen
ate, his deep appreciation of the ser
vice rendered the Nation, President
Wilson summarizes the great bene
ficial effect the lelglsation will have
as follows:

sion of the eight hour day that is,
the substitution of an eight hour day
for the present ten hour day in all
the existing practices and agreements.
I made this recommendation because
I belidve the concession right. The
eight hour day now undoubtedly has
the sanction of society In its favor
and should be adopted as a basis
for wages even where the actuul work
to be done cannot be completed with
in ("ight hours.
"Concerning the adjustments which
shnold be made, in justice to the
railroads and their stockholders, in
the pyaments and privileges to which
their men are now entitled (If such
adjustments are necessary) there is
a wide divergence of opinion.
"The railroads which have already
adopted the eight hour day do not
seem to be at any serious disadvant
age in respect of their cost of opera
tion as compared with the railroads
that have retained the ten hour day,
and calculations as to the cost of
the change must, if made now, be
made without nny regard to a pos

Hughes to Make National
Issue of the Durand Inci

the Democrats
(By The Associated Press.)
Augusta, Maine1, Aug. 19 Speaker
Champ Clarke opened the Democratic
campaign In Maine today by urging
the voters to support the Denocratic
national ticket because "in three and
a half years it has placed on the
statute books more constructive, rem
edial legislation than the Republi
cans did in twenty."
"Judge Hughes," Speaker Clark de
clared, "has endeavored to make an
issue of the separation of E. Dana
Durand from the payroll as director
of the census, but it is not within
the power of any complaining orator
to make a national issue of Durand
any more than he can make a na
tional issue; of 'who struck Hilly Pat

We show here some of the things
we have done and on which we stand.
"We passed a great tariff hill with

''Itie Democrats, with the assist
ance of patriotic Progressives and a
patriotic contingent of Republicans,

believed will render panics Impos
sible In the future.
"We passed an anti-trust law
which tends to promote a legitimate
business and to crush illegitimate
business.
"We passed a bill to open up oiw
amazingly rich Alaska empire for the
benefit of all our people and to pre
vent that marvelous storehouse of
wealth from being exploited by the
few.

"The rural credits bill will un
doubtedly prove a great blessing to
the farmers. The bad wagon roads
of America are a sad commentary
on our sense, for stated In briefest
terms, they constitute wanton waste.
The Schakleford good roads bill is a
long step In the direction of giving

Democratic rally today at Oraham in
Alamance county and made a speech
that is something of an espoch mak

way for the great speech he iu to de

formal campaign opener. In this Al
amance speech, Mr. Hickett paid tri
bute to American prosperity as a prime
product of the Democratic Woodrow
Wilson policy, declaring that for two
years this Nation has been "shoot
ing the rapid" with a skill nigh
Miraculous, dodging the. rocks and
weathering the whirlpools and, while
the water is still swift and turbid
the ship of state is running more
smoothly than ever before.
Tile vast business growth of the
past two years wuh reviewed, the
amazing prosperity being, he argued,
clue largely to Democratic legislation,
constructive and otherwise, which he
reviewed vomprehensively. In conclu

(By The Associated Press)
Washington, Aug. 1 9.J A recom
mendation from General Funston
that the American troops be with
drawn from Mexico, was contained
in "a recent report on the military
situation today, at the request of the
War Department and designed for
use of the Joint commislon, which
will discuss border problems. State
Department officials do not attempt to
disguise their regret over premature
publication of (leneral Funston's con
clusions, but they Indicated today
that It would not cause any altera
tion in the plans.
Officials realize, it is understood,
that the most Important discussion by
the cnmmislson, from the Mexican
viewpoint, will be the question of the
withdrawal of Cleneral Pershing's ex
peditionary force.
Publication of tho fact that fleneral
Funston believes it wise to withdraw
the troops may hamper the American
commissioners, some officials think,
in obtaining ' whatever guarantees
they may ask of the Mexican govern
ment as to the security of the border
from bandit raids. It is believed the
Administration was fully prepared to
arrange for the recall of General
Pershing's force, since both the State,
and War Department offiloals are un
derstood to share the views expressed
in General Funston's report.
There can be little doubt, it is now
said, that the withdrawal will lie
promptly agreed to when the commis
sion meets, the conferees then turn
ing their attention to the drafting of
I a protocol to cover future border op
erations, in view of the causes of
bandit raids ami such other matters as
may wish to take up.
