WILSON PLANS
TO INTERVENE
IN RAIL STRIKE

New York July S-President Will
son is Interesting himself in averting
q possible strike of100,000 conduct
CHS and trainmen on eastern rail-
rc&de.
Secretary of Labor Wilson has
feen Instructed to watch develop
ments A momentous conference was
held\today between the committee of
managers representing the forty-four
main lines involved, and the COM
mittee of 100 representing the con-
ductors and trainmen.
Should crisis be reached, Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson, acting, it is
said upon instructions from the Pres
ident. is prepared to send the chief
of the bureau of labor statistics to
New York.
Through their chairman, Elisha
Lee, the railroads have stated that
they will not only refuse the de-
man for s17,000,000 increased pay
made by, the men, but they will re-
fuse to arbitrate under the present
Erdman act. The board of arb-
tration. under the Erdman act.would
consist of three men, one represent
ing the railroads, one the men and
the third to be chosen by the first
two.
Called "0ne-Man" Board.
This, the managers assert, is
practically "one-man" board and
the issue too momentous to be placed
in the hands of one man.
1t was given out tonight that
rather than permit tie-up of all tlk
roads east of the Mississippi and
north of the Potomac, Congress will
be urged by President Wilson and
the Secretary of Labor so to amend
the Erdman act that a larger arbt
iration board will be provided for
Arbitration by a board of seven oil
more men will, it is believed, prove
acceptable to the railroads.
Prepared for Action.
President Garretson of the con
ductors said today:
while we are prepared to go Il
the limit, we will not act hastily
We intend giving the railroads ever,
chance for an amicable settlement
In all probability there will be ne
gotiatiens after the announcement o
the strike vote and before a strike i
actually called,
Il believe the Erdman act Is like
ly to be amended before a strike i
called. As both the railroads an,
employees favor amending the Erd
man act, it is probable this matte
will finally go to a new arbitration
board Both sides, | think, viii
agree to that"

knife FAILS TO
CURE MAN With
LOST PAST LIFE

Rochester, Mimi, July S.-The
identification of -. c. r." must re-
main unsolved and the mental cloud
which has wrapped the mind of the
mysterious patient who was brought
to the State hospital two months ago
will never be cleared. The case of
the man to whom the past is dead
was declared to be without cure to-
day, following a remarkable opera
tion in which everything known to
the Mayo brothers, the wizards OF
surgery, was done to restore power
to the brain of the patient.
The skull OF the mysterious u.
c. r." was opened and the brain
laid bare. But the blow the man
had suffered when his mind became
a blank had rendered such injury
to the delicate cells that the sur
geons declared the case almost hope
less. They diagnosed the case as
hemorrhage of the brain following
severe blow on the back of the
head. An unusually large cyst con-
tanning fluid was removed and in
this operation the surgeons base a
faint hope that the patents recoy-
cry may be of such nature that a
second operation may lift the cloud
from the brain.
Surgeons Watch Case.
The case OF u. G. r." has at
tractcd the attention of medical men
all over the country. Since the
operation Sunday afternoon scores OF
kilograms from SUI geons have been
received asking the results of the
operation. II the man ultimately
recovers, experts declare that 1t will
be the most successful operation
ever performed under the direction
of the Drs. Mayo.
The mysterious patient was found
wandering in the railroad yards two
months ago. His mind was blank,
although he could converse with
some Intelligence. Since coming to
the State hospital ne apparently
has picked up the thread OF life
where it was severed, but the past
is dead to him, He could furnish no
clew to his identity or residence.
Initials on his linen when repeated
to him suggested no name, and he
became known as -. c. r."
The only event of the past which
he was able to relate with any con-
.currence was disconnected story of
an attack on him by two men. 1t
was this attack, it is believed, that
resulted in the clouding of his mind.
Patient HoDes for Success.
The man realized when he went
onto the operating table what was
to be done and that the knife OF the
surgeon held the only hope of link
ing the past to the present and
bridging the gap between him and
the loved ones of his family. He was
jovial and expressed hope that he
would come from under the ether
with the life which had been wiped
out restored to him.
DR.. T.. II. Beckman of the Mayo
staff performed the operation, as
sisted by Drs. Hyerdale and Butler
of the state hospital. DR.. Hyerdale
declared that a faint hope still re-
mained that -. c. r. will regain
his mind.
j. c. r. came from under the
anesthetic an hour after the opera
ton was over. He has not been al
lowed to talk, but from the blank
expression the surgeons declare that
the operation apparently was with
out effect.
