(By Tk Associated Press.) Washington, Aug. 26. The threatened railroad Htrike took on such a grave aspect today that Pres ident Wilson turned toward Congress for a solution of the problem. Suddenly this afternoon, when it became known that the railroad exe- j cutives were unanimous in their re fusal to accept his plan of settle ment, President Wilson personally went to the Capitol and laid before Majority Leader Kern, of the Senate, and Newlands, chairman of the In terstate Commerce Committee, the statement of the railway heads that Congress must guarantee some source of added revenue if they are to meet the demands of their employes. How this should be accomplished President Wilson did not suggest. Immediately afterward, Senators began discussing proposals to have Congress record itself in favor of a rate increase. Will Probably Address Congress No arrangements were made to day for the President to address Congress on the subject, but it was considered likely that he might do so during the ' coming week if the situation continued critical. i t'lnbih ft nmvfir tn I'lan " Tonight the railway executives finished framing their answer to President Wilson's plan and notified th White House they were ready. President Wilson sent word he would prefer to see them Monday morning at 10 o'clock. The brotherhood leaders, after be ing in meeting most of the day, ad journed to 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The executives' answer probably will be communicated to the broth erhoods oltlcially Monday, after President Wilson has had it from the executives. ,f No Change In Position The executives held several meet ings during the day, but no change resulted In the position they took last night, when they approved a rough draft of their reply to Presi dent Wilson. It was fi:30 tonight when the committee of eight, which handled the negotiations, announced that they had asked for a confer ence with President Wilson and lannitunced that President Wilson had informed them he was pressed for time and could not see them to night. The situation, as summed tip late tonight by thos in close touch with it, is as follows: Present Sltuntlon President Wilson has seen the pub lished reports of the reply the exe cutives will make him Monday and does not wish to accept it. It would not surprlsp those in the conference of the railroad officials to have him make a counter proposal at that time, retaining his original proposi tion for an eight hour day, but off ering the roads - as compensation congressional assurances of a freight rate Increase and a commission to settle future disputes. Among the executives tonignt, it clearly was evident that such a coun ter proposal probably would not be expected. Whether they would re ceive it from President Wilson and take it under consideration for a few days was not at all hurt by Its ADMINISTRATION IS ASSAILED FOR SAYING ADVOCATES OF PREPAREDNESS WERE EXCITED (By The Associated Press.) Denver, Colo., Aug. 26. Charles E. Hughes today told the business men of Denver, at a luncheon at the Mile High club, that American enterprise stood face to face with a new era in which the watch words were Co operation and efficiency; that capital labor "are our two hands," both of which must be used intelligently and with co-operation in the years to come to make "America first and America efficient. " Patriotism, the nominee declared, needed to be directed a little differ ently than it had ever been In the past. The result of patriotism was needed In private business, for the United States, as the greatest corpo ration on earth, was entitled "to be as well managed as any corporation on earth" and the full worth of Its every dollar spent in administration. The business men of America. Mr. Hughes said, were, in his opinion, patriotic, broad, sound In their views and ambitions. The day of building private citadels along the highway of oommprne, hv which the "ordinary traveler" could be held up and pay tribute, he thought, has passed. There Jjad been, said, Mr. Hughes, a new ultimate rejection. Apparently they will not accept the reply of the executives as it has been published, but they might be willing to negotiate with it as a basis. They will meet again at 10 o'clock Monday. Attitude of Congress I'nknowii Nobody knows the attitude of Congress toward the suggested legis lation. The executives appear confident that public opinion, a quanltity In the equation that they have not over looked, will be with them in their insistence, upon the principle of ar bitration and their opposition to an eight hour day. The executives reply will given into argument and statement of their position. The statement will ( show that they do not accept the . eight hour day . with pay for ten hours, as demanded by. the' men, In that they maintain this demand real ly is one for an increase of wages; and that a question of a wage In crease is a matter for arbitration and for settlement in no other way. It will suggest the creation of a com mission to arbitrate this wage I question or delegation of power to the Interstate Commerce Commission to arbitrate. It would make the ar bitration retroactive and the roads wn'ld pledge themselves to create a fund to care for back wages if in creases are approved Jy the arbitra t()rs Three things are fitted by the exectuives to bear upon this position, The first is that many shipper of the country have declared themselves opposed to disregarding arbitration and have insisted that an eight hour day, must not he granted. The second is a belief that to giv in to the men in the present situa tion would undermine discipline on the roads to a serious ai'tent and would have far reaching effects. The third that no matter what snc tions am given they feel they can not get a rate Increase. Itallroad Heads I'nlB'yl The attitude of the railways to night, was in marked contrast to that of a few days ago. Apparently- dif ferences of opinion have been swept away and they are facing the situa tion with a united front and ... ready for what may come. Brotherhood leaders said tonight that the departure of a large niira !bPr of the private representatives for their homes during the day should not be interpreted as an In dication the men were breaking off the negotiations and abandon hope of a settlement. Many more would leave tomorrow, the leaders said, but the heads and vice-presidents of the brotherhoods would remain and would have suffl cient authority to deal with any de velopment. It was understood that the chief reason for the exodus of the labor men lay in the fact that they were anxious to keep in closer touch with the unions they represent and want to make sure of their ground in that direction before taking a decisive step. They' will canvass sentiment very carefully among the rank and file of the brotherhood men. (Continued on page four.) consciousness of what is due the pub lic with respect to public rights and privileges and because of that he looked confidently to the future, where otherwise he would look witn deep dismay. Among the guests at the luncheon were Robert W. Speer, Mayor of Den ver, a Democrat, and Julius c. Hun ter. Democratic candidate for Gov ernor of Colorado. Hughes Joined in singing a Brown College song. The lobby of the hotel was crowded with persons who waited throughout the luncheon to get a glimpse of the nominee on his departure. For the first time in his campaign, Mr. Hughes named Theodore Roose velt in address at the Auditorium here tonight. He assailed the Ad ministration for calling advocates of preparedness "nervous and excited." He was interrupted by a roar from the crowd. Mr. Roosevelt went through the land, arousing the Nation to Its need, he claimed, and the Administration changed Its mind overnight. The audience, which crowded the big auditoriitm, with hundreds stand ing In the aisles applauded loudly. TO REPUBLICANS Hon. Cameron Morrison As serts Democrats Will Re buke Republicans For Surrendering to Butler (Special To The Journal) Raleigh, Aug. 26 Hon. Cameron Morrison spent some time today in eonfl'rence with State Chairman War ren i.t Democratic headquarters and told the chairman that at Kaeford, where he addressed more than li.OUU people Friday, and everywhere else that h had been in the campaigning mat as been assigned him thus fur, he found the most denendnnle indir.i-1 tions that there will be a unanimous ... . - .... .... ' outpouring of the Democratic vol-rs this year, as a special rebuke to Ite publicanism and its disgraceful sur render to But'.eilsm. He said that in the sand hill con i try the past two elections the voters have not gone to the polls as fully as they should, owing to confidence that the State and their respective counties were safely Democratic, but they realize, he says, that the re ap pearance of Butler and the Indira- tions that the Republican leaden have presumed to tstume a posi.i'illtty to "come bach i ave brought the stay at home to thj point of full realiza- tion that U'Hf otes are ne wed to convince the.. uoaelous Republi cans that their party is really dead for keeps WILSON CANDIDATE IN TEXAS RECEIVES A BIG - MAJORITY (By The Associated Press.)

REPUBLICANS HAVE y Chief of Police Called Ou to Stop Ex-Senator Thorn as From Speaking at Meet ing at Lexington (By The Associated Press.) Lexington, Aug. 26. When ex-Senator P. C. Thomas refused to stop speaking at the Republican conven tion here this afternoon, after howl ing and a brass band had been unable to stop him, the chief of police was called in by political leaders and the old veteran was taken to Jail. His release, was. secured by L.-AMurtln, a local lawyer and Democrat. No charges were preferred. Ex-l'ostmaster D. Conrad, in speaking from a point of personal privilege, declared that those men in his party who I'ad preferred certain charges against him in connection with the passage of the road bond Issue were "liars, scroundrels and thieves." Aside from these incidents the convention was harmonious. J. R. McCreary was nominated for the Legislature; Geo. McCarn for sheriff, and F. E. Sigmon for register of deeds. The present commissioners were renominated.' The convention declared for a con tinuation of road buidling and pledg ed that five cents be taken from the 01 s county tax levy and added to the(ed about 7 p road, to enabte work to proceed after the bond money is spent. P. E. Brown, nominee for Congress spoke to those who remained after the main show had passed. He de clared he would make a celan cam paign, but a hard light, and spoke almost entirely on the tariff issue. Attendance was large, but enthusi asm was lacking.
