FOOT BILL
PRESIDENT INFORMED BY DEMO
CRATIC SENATORS THAT PUB
LIC AND SHIPPERS ARE
NOT ALL ASLEEP.
Wilson Hurries to White House to
Consult Leaders on Legislation
Guaranteeing Increased Freight
Rates in Effort to Compel Rail
roads to Accept His Terms for
Eight-Hour Day in Controversy.
Washington, D. C., Jtug. 28. —While
150 brotherhood leaders were leaving
Washington Saturday night to prepare
for the organization of the impending
general railroad strike, President Wil
son, facing a rejection of his demands
by the railroads, postponed the show
down between the carriers and the
unions until today. The departing
district chairmen of the brotherhoods
carried with them the plans for put
ting the strike into effect, and left
with the union presidents jxiwer of
attorney to order the walkout unless
the railroads accept substantially the
settlement plan proposed by Mr. WU I
son. I
Wilson the Sensationalist. I
The one spectacular move of tbe
day was made by the president. I
Adopting the customary device fori
lending significance and impressive-/
ness to his action, Mr. Wilson unex-j
pectedly called for his automobile and I
rode to the capitol, where he ent
sconced himself In the president si
room in the senate and held a forty/
minutes’ conference with Senator Xew-/
lands, chairman of the interstate com /
merce committee, and Senator Kern, I
the democratic leader. I
Legislation Proposed.
The president proposed the Imme
diate t*na< tment of the following legis
lation;
A provision the effect of which
Mould be virtually to guarantee the
railroads an advance In freight rates
sufficient to offset the 31 per cent in
crease in wages involved in the presi
dent's settlement plan.
Creation of a compulsory arbitration
system similar to the Canadian insli
luliou which has minimised strife be
tween the railroads and their em
ployes.
Adition of two members to the inter
state commerce commission and re
organisation of the body for thu fa
dilution of its work.
Opinion is Against.
The president expressed the opinion
that if su< h legislation could bo passed
the railroads would accept his plan
lor alerting thu threatened strike.
After informing thu president that he
would submit thu suggestions the
interstate commcrtu committee today,
He n a lor Mew lands camassud the sen
ate and found opinion overwhelmingly
op|»oaud to Ilie proposition of enact
ing law a which could compel the peo
ple to fool the bill for the proposed
wage Increase, estimated at l^v.ooo.uuv
a year.
In deference to the president's de
sire to obtain a rale advance for the
railroads, democratic senators suggest
ed that a resolution might bo passed
insiru< ting the interstate <ommer<o
• ommiaalon to glie early consideration
lo the revenue needs of Iho railroads
an a result of putting Into operation
ihe eight hour day.
The president Informed the senators
that he deemed it imperative to peas
al the earliest possible moment the
bill providing for Iho addition of two
members to the intersuts <ommono
> ommiaalon.
Legislation Desired by Iho Roods.
This bill, which has boon passed by
the house and Is (tending lo the son
ale. with a favorable rw|»orf from the
interstate «ommen o committor, pro
tides in addition for iho division of
iho <ommiaalon into gn>upo. a device
designed lo expedite ths work of the
tsMlr, particularly rats advance hear
ings
Thia legislation la desired by Iho
railroads, particularly as It la (heir un
dwrslsndlng that the president will ap
point to the Iwo additional seals on
the commission men who are not un
friendly to the terriers and not an
lagnnlatlc lo granting a freight rale In
• rwaae for the purpose of reimbursing
the roads for Iho proposed |6U.Om».OW
a year advance In Iho wages of the
train operating employes.
Mr Wilson also discussed with the
senate leaders the feasibility of add
Ing two amend menu also desired by
the railroads, to thio bill In Iho son
ale.
Authorises Rate Advenes.
One proposed amendment would an-

thorixe the in tern lute commerce com
minion to grunt un advance ot freight
mien to the carriers us a result of the
additional cxje'nse incurred by the
railroads In adopting the eight-hour
day as a basis of wages. The motive
of thia move ia to guarantee to the
carriers in advance that the burden of
the expense placed upon l^em by ac
ceptance of the president's plan of act
lle incut would be passed on to the
shippers. and ultimately the ronsuD
era of the country.
Preslent Wilson haa staled hie be
lief that the railroads would accept
hie terms If definitely assured of a
rate advance and be now is uevklng to
bring them into line through legisla
tion virtually guaranteeing reimburse
uiwnt.

informed the president that there
would be difficult) in putting through
an amendment pacing the aay for a
rale increase They pointed out that
the shippers and the public generally
are Making up to lbw plan to make
the people fool the bill fur Ibe wage

ed that Ibe pn>|H*aluon would provoke
