Interstate Commerce Member
Declares Wilson's Proposals
Are Doomed to Failure
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 30. Senator
Cummins, ot' lowa, one of the Pro
gressive Republicans of the Interstate
Commerce Committee, voicing opposi
tion in the Senate to-day to some of
President Wilson's legislative proposals
to meet the railroad crisis declared
that Congress, in search of legislation
was confronted by a "Seylla and a
Charybdis" and that "it will be inter
esting to consider how far we can
steer away from one without encount
ering the perils of the other."
Senator Cummins insisted that com
pulsory arbitration was not only im
practicable but unconstitutional and
that any attempt to establish maxi
mum wages for railroad employes
was "doomed to complete and im
mediate failure." although Congress
undoubtedly has the right to prescribe
both minimum and maximum wages.
The Senator proposed as a possible
deterrent to industrial disputes, with
out advocating it or expressing any
opinion on the justice or wisdom of
It, legislation that would impose a
modified or partial restriction of the
right to strike in a combined way,
which he said, "would make for in
dustrial peace and at the same time
would not unduly infringe upon per
sonal liberty."

By Associated Press
Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 30. —Officials
of railroads with general offices her«
were making preparations to attempt
to keep at least a limited number of
trains moving in case the strike takes
place, they said to-day. The Lake
Erie and Western will attempt to keep
mail trains and its trains with perish
able freight moving. The Indianapolis
Union Railway, over the tracks of
which all trains run into the citv, also
is making preparations to keep traffic
going. Officials of other roads are

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
RAILROADS OF NATION
PLACE EMBARGO ON FOOD
AS STRIKE LOOMS DARKER
By Associated Press
New York, Aug. 30. Railway
traffic to and from New York City
showed feverish activity to-day in an
ticipation of a general strike. It is
estimated that before September 4, the
threatened date of the tie-up, this city
will rid itself of a floating population
of nearly 350,000 and receive about
the same number who have been on
vacations. Passenger traffic just be
fore Labor Day is always heavy even
under normal circumstances.
Unless the situation changes radical
ly it is expected that the other eastern
railroads will follow the example of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford and declare a freight embargo to
take effect September 4. The man
agement of the New York Central will
consider this question to-day upon the
return of President A. H. Smith from
Washington.
Railroad executives here expressed
hope that if a strike were called they
could run enough food trains to keep
the city from privation. The city's
milk supply, they said, would be the
first to receive consideration.
New York consumes 2,500,000 quarts
of milk a day and it is estimated that
25 per cent of this goes to babies and
another 25 per cent, to children who
depend largely on milk for food.
The police department, it was an
nounced to-day, is prepared, if need
arises, to assume virtual control of
the food and fuel supply. For this
purpose it has made a canvass to as
certain the stock of foodstuffs now
available here.
In announcing the embargo, P. J.
Flynn, a vice-president of the road,
said every effort would be made to
have all shipments of goods which
have already originated on the line
reach their destinations so that the
road would be wholly clear of such
shipments by Saturday noon. Such
shipments as can be transported be
fore that hour will be accepted to-day,
it was stated.
The Erie railroad announced to-day
that it had put into effect yesterday
an order that all classes of freight ac
cepted for transportation over its line
would be subjected to delay on and
after September 4. This order does
not apply to freight accepted before
yesterday.
New York, Aug. 30.—An embargo,
effective to-morrow, on all perishable

forty-eight hours to issue an embargo
acainst the acceptance of all classes of
freight.

the difficulty between the railroads and
their trainmen. Conies of the letter
havn been sent to Elisha Lee. chair
man of the general managers' commit

Chicago, 111., AUK. 30. —Railroads of
the nation rushed preparations to-day
to enforce the embargo on perishable
freight. Shipments of livestock and
perishables were refused by some
toads to-day; others issued warnings
that perishable freight which cannot
reach its destination by Saturday, Sep
tember 2. will not be accepted.
From Chicago, the railroad center
of the country, orders were flashed to
ticket agents to inform passengers that
unless they reach their destinations by
Sunday night they would be subjected
to "perplexing delays."
Big manufacturers and business
houses swamped telegraph companies
with messages urging that their ship
ments be rushed at once. Many of
them authorized sending their orders
by express. Several large commercial
houses already have recalled their
tra\eltng representatives.
Plan to Moot Emopßoncy
Operating officials of many of the
big railway systems speeded up plans
to meet any emergency and private
detective agencies engaged to employ
additional help were urged to mora
activity. Physical examination of
thousands of railroad men who, of
ficials said, are willing to return to
the coach and cab was hastened.
Shopmen and engine hostlers who
know something about running loco
motives were coached for a more im
portant duty expected of them. Guar
pr.tees of bonuses and protection at
tracted many men who have had ex
perience in firing boilers and operating
stationary engines.
A number of the railroad presidents
whe have been in Washington discuss
ing the strike problem wjth President
Wilson arrived iu Chicago to-day for
an important conference.
Associated Press dispatches from all
parts of the country indicated that
within forty-eight hours, unless a de
lay in the strike is ordered, embargo
orders will be effective, on practically
every railroad in the country.
What this means to traffic and reve
nues is said by railroad men to be
shown by the statement of an official
of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad, who said the embargo would
reduce the traffic of the road one-third.

BARRISBURG iSBBt TELEGRAPH
NO POWER ON EARTH BUT
SETTLEMENT CAN PREVENT
STRIKE, LEE DECLARES
By Associated Press
Washington. Aug. 30. Brother
hood heads insisted after a conference
with Secretary Wilson to-day that they
had not been requested by President
Wilson or any other administration
official to postpone the strike and that
nothing except satisfactory settlement
of their demands could prevent a
walk-out.
"No power on earth except a satis
factory settlement now can prevent
a strike." said W. O. Lee. president of
the trainmen.
"We four heads certainly could not
obtain a postponement of the strike
if we wanted to nor could we post
pone if we received messages request
ing such action from every one of the
committee of 640 who were here last
week. President Wilson has not ask
ed us to postpone the strike and he
understands as we made it very clear
to him on Monday night, that we now
are. powerless to act unless a satisfac
tory settlement is made."
BOTH SIDES HURRY
PLANS FOR STRIKE
[Continued From First I'ago]
resented as in entire accord with the
purpose to prevent in some way the
threatened tleup. Some measures to
be agreed on probably will be attached
to the bill pending in the Senate to
increase membership of the Interstate
Commerce Commission from seven to
nine.
The eight-hour law for inter-State
railroad traffic suggested by the Presi- ;
dent, is not entirely agreeable to the
brotherhoods, for they want with the '
eight-hour day ten hours' pay and
Congress has no authority to prescribe
wages. The employes expect the prin
cipal flght against this to be made by j
the railroads, however. The proposal I
for investigation by a presidential
commission is welcomed by the rail
roads. but not by the men.
The suggestion that Congress em- |
power the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to grant higher rates as rec
ompense for increased wages is
frowned upon by the railroads on the
belief that shippers would object and
the good will of these interests would
be lost. The most violent objection of
the brotherhoods is to the proposed
law for investigation of future labor
disputes and the prohibition of strikes
or lockouts during the investigation;
railroad executives favor this measure.
; Many legislators believe the Presi
dent s recommendation of a law au
thorizing forced governmental opera
; tion of certain roads for military rea
j sons Is superfluous: they insist that
the other action contemplated will
| forestall the strike of itself.
Pittsburgh Shippers to
Send Munitions to Lake
Erie by Motor Trucks
By Associated Press
Pittsburgh, Aug. 30.—A1l railroads
entering the Pittsburgh district were
busy to-day completing arrangements,
begun a week or more ago, for han
dling business in case of a strike.
Pennsylvania Railroad employes some
time ago were polled as to their avail
ability for service in any department
where they might be needed and re
port was made that in excess of 90 per
cent, had signified their willingness to
work. This list now in the hands of
the operating officials includes division
an.} Reneral chiefs, many of whom are
competent to handle any part of the
railroad's work.
Shippers were looking to motor
trucks to solve many of their troubles,
particularly those handling provisions
and produce, while some of the more
important war munition factories were
said to havt arranged for motor truck
lines to carry their completed shells
to the nearest points on Erie,
where they can be sent to Canada by
water and from there to Europe. Mill
managers confidently predicted there
would be no serious interruption in the
shipments of munitions.
B. and 0. Hopes For Best,
but Is Prepared For Worst
By Associated Press
Baltimore. Md., Aug. 30. While
railroad officials here were reticent as
to their plans for coping with the
threatened strike, it is understood to
day that systematic preparations are
being completed for such an even
tuality.
The Pennsylvania for weeks has
been instructing a large force made up
of its unorganized employes in the
running of trains. At the Baltimore
and Ohio offices that road's prepared
ness was stated as follows:
"We hope for the best, but are pre
pared for the worst."
Special to the Telegraph
Chambersburg, Pa., Aug. 30.—The
Cumberlani Valley Railroad here has
quietly been making preparations for
the threatened railroad strike. The
company has been making a canvass
of its employes not affected by the
strike in order to secure enough men
to man the trains in case the regular
trainmen quit. It is said the Cumber
land Valley has enough men now to
i care for its trains.
In addition to securing men for the
trains the company lias been securing
employes to act as special policemen.
I'sdfres have already been provided
and it is understood that a force of
over one hundred men has been re
cruited.
A. B. Oarretson, head of the conduc
tor!). and spokesman for the employes,
made a similar statement.
Besides conferring with Secretary
Wilson to-day. the brotherhood heads
talked with several members of Con
gress at the Capitol. The brotherhood
otflcials expected to confer to-day with
Samuel Oompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. It was
said that Mr. Oompers had made no
attempt to induce the brotherhoods to
postpone the strike and it was not
thought that he would.
Opinion among brotherhood otflcials
as to whether enactment into law of
the President's program before next
Monday would prevent a strike still
Is divided. This point was discussed
at length with congressmen and they
also were not of one opinion.
The brotherhood leaders who ex
pressed confidence last night that en
actment of the program into law
would not prevent the strike appeared
to be the less confident.
Unorganized Employes
Warn Wilson 8-Hour Day
Will Tear Nation Apart
By Associated rress
Washington, Aug. 30. Robert T.
Frazier, representing unorganized
railroad employes of the country, sent
to President Wilson a letter to-day
protesting against Mr. Wilson's recom
mendation to Congress yesterday that
a law be passed for an eight-hour
basic day for railroad employes actual
ly engaged in the work of operating
trains in interstate transportation.
Mr. Frazier pointed out that this
legislation would not affect eighty per
cent, of railroad employes.
"I must respectfully warn you of
the events sure to follow," wrote Mr.
Frazier, "which will place the in
dustrial fabric of the nation in greater
I jeopardy than at present; the eighty
I per cent, must of necessity organize
and present their demands for recogni
tion and protection."
i Mr. Frazier has presented to Mr.
| Wilson petitions signed by 110,000 un
organized railroad employes protest
j ing against a strike.
