Mr. Wilson to Establish the Princi-
ple of Arbitration in Labor Disputes.
President Wilson’s week of confer-
ences wih railroad officials and lead-
ers of their employes threatening
a nation wide strike are helieved by
all parties to the controversy to have
Prought the situation to a point where
decisive developments may be expect:
ed within a fev days.
The president reinforced his prev:
ious argument for his plan‘ by point
ing out to the railroad executives that
the railroads play, an tmpertant, part
in the military preparedness of the
country, and that they are a vital part
of the industrial framework of: ‘the na-
tion, and it is absolutely necessary to
keep them rumning.

tives he did not blame them for. fight

pressed.
The president declared he agreed
with them in believing in arbitration
of industrial disputes, but that in view
| of dhe refusal; of the railroad employ
ees. to. accept. A Araicn. it was ‘im-
practical to discuss the issue at pres-
ent.- He urged the railroad executives
and the managers in their meetings
to consider the. disaster which would
l:follow a strike. |
With all the world depending in a
measure upon the products of the
United States, he said, it would be a
catastrophe for the railway syétems
of this country to be tied up. He said
that in. working for preparedness in
the United States the work of the rail
roads had played an important part in
his considerations and, that all of the
plans of the zovernment for prepared.
ness would be thrown awry by a
strike. On that ground he appealed
to the patriotism of the employers.
“We are now ready to get down tc
brass tacks,” said one of the railroad
presidents. “Up to the present time
our discusion have been informal, but
from now rn we will make determined
efforts to reach a decision.”
