brotherhood and tho railroad execu

now existing between them and appar

you prcicnt to the rcnrnentatlvcH of
both sides the grave peril Involved In
such a situation at this time, and that
you request them no to adjust their
differences as In any event to teml to
a postponement of ntiv acute dlfllcult
during tho present national emcrgentj
The Administration regards the strike
situation as an extremely grave question,
in which each side of the controversy Is
partly to blame for assuming a dogmatic
cosltlon. Tho President is expected to

There Is also a possibility of hastening

to delegate powers for the President to

the crisis.
President Wilson villi nctept any oilers
by the brotherhoods or the managers, If
uch are made, to mediate In the railroad
strike situation. It vwis stated cm high au
thority today Xo such request had reached
the White House up to afternoon, but re
ports from Xcw York were that both sides
were considering the question of catling
Upon the President to find u solution
There Is a strong Indication that If the
President Is not formal!) a iked to mediate
he will call both tho railroad managers and
brotherhood leaders Into conference with
him within twenty-four hours Tho Pres
ident's understanding of the situation now
Is that both sides appear to be marking
time pending some action on his part. It
Is the belief of his advisers that the country
as well as tho railroads and their cnu!oc"i
now look to the President personally to
avert the strike.
WILL Fl.S HLAMi:
In event, however, that all moves fall and
tho strike does coino, the President will
take occasion to Inform tho country an to
where he believes the b'.ams rests for n
situation of perilous possibilities whereby
the transportation systems ot the country
are tied up In the face of u great crisis
The President is expected, should he Issue
a formal statement or appeal, to point out
.that the demands for which the railroad
employes ire contesting are now in the
hands of the Supreme Court ; that a de

The brotherhood chlefM followed the ex

which the railway managers went Into con

From the railway managers' ronferenca
shortly enmo "unoinclal" word that Lee's

Leo today charged disloyalty to several
minor leaders In tho brotherhood councils
and admitted that, through fear of pos
sible Imprisonment on conspiracy charges,
the brotherhood chiefs have piiHscd tho
strike order to the men by spoken word
Tho customary written order was aban
doned, he intimated, because of the fear that
It might be construed ns a violation of tho
law forbidding Interference with Interstate
tralllc Ho would not admit however, that
n written order would constitute con
spiracy. Speaking of disloyalty, ho said'

selected. We, then fore, do not hope
to beat his record, nnd vc look for at

nnd to have received us pay for his service

"The only wuy we tan determine thco

"Don't fotget we left the entire matter
to President Wilson last August and agreed
to abide I his proposals then. The rnll

since publicly proposed to leavo tho entlro

to say whether we should have the elght

railroads seemingly prefer a strike lather
than abide by President Wilson's sug
gested methods of settlement. Who is dis

The effect of the strike on the eitv s food

In some qunrters it was declared that five

Chairman Lee sajs ninety-five per cent
of the men called out Saturday night will

Officials of the West Jcl'sey and Seashore

would remain loyal to them in case of n

The Atlantic City lines of the Philadel

have many old employes who could hardly

U.S. TO INSIST ON ARMED
SHIPS' RIGHTS ABROAD
Will Press Foreign Governments
to Receive Merchantmen
in Ports
WASHINGTON, March 16.
Because some foreign Governments arc
Inclined to object' to harboring American
armed merchantmen this Government re
cently Inquired of the European nations
whether they would ngrce to admit the ves
sels. None of the nations queried has
replied
The United States Government holds
that It has the full right to harborago for
Its armed craft. It would even have the
right to send a warship Into a foreign har
bor, Inasmuch as this Government Is still
neutral.
This Government Is Inclined to stand
firmly on Its rights In the matter. It can
seo no valid grounds for the threatened
objections. There Is every Teason to be
llevo flint the Administration temper, If
strictly legal lines are followed, will not
brook Interference with what Is regarded
as it manifest right.
The Stnte Department was surprised nt
press reports Indicating that Holland would
refuse harborage, Indications today aro
that Holland and Denmark may balk at
having tho armed ships go Into their ports.
whllo Norway and Sweden probably will
permit entry England and France, of
course, will welcome the vessels
Secret negotiations. It was learned today,
have been proceeding for several da)s.
