TWO BIG MATTERS
The Railway Strike Problem
Has Reached Washington.
Decision of /. C. C. Rate Case
Also Is Imminent.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Two questions
Of great moment to the railroad and
financial world were awaiting decision
here this afternoon. Arrangements
had been made for President Wilson
to confer at 2 p. m. with the mana
gers of 9S western railways, threaten
ed with d strike of $1,000 enginemen
and firemen; at 3 p. m. the interstate
commerce commissions decision in the
rate case was expected and at p. m
the president was to confer with rep
resentatives Of the men employed on
the western roads.
Railroad officials and representa-
tives Of the men pointed out that the
roads threatened with the strike were
almost entirely apart from those af-
fected by the rate decision which ap-
plies to railroads in eastern territory.
A. w. Trenholm chairman OF the
committee OF railroad managers, re-
fused to make any statement before
talking with President Wilson. The
other members of the committee re-
ferred all inquiries to Mr.. Trenholm.
]. H. Sheean. counsel for the commit
tee, accompanied the railroad men to
the White ITouse conference. Mr..
Trenholm wol Id not say whether there
was any likelihood of the managers
agreeing to arbitration.

Market SETTLES down
Wheat Opens at q Slight Reduction
From Fridays Close.

Chicago. Aug. 1.-For the first time
since the declaration of war by Aus
tria, the Chicago wheat market open
ed in a normal way. First transactions
showed a change Of not to exceed one
cent compared with yesterdays close.
September wheat was down three
eighths- OF a cent and December one
cent. September, which closed at 50 3-s
last night sold at IS cents at the outset
today, and December wheat which
closed at 81 1-2 last night was bought
at 80 LIZ at the start this morning.
Soon after the opening prices moved
quickly downward but kept within a
range Of less than two cents, q differ
ence which is not extraordinary under
usual trade conditions.
Reports of Italy's having indicated
that she would not join with Germany
and Austria in a general mar, had
much to do with causing prices to tent;
downward.
Within half an hour the wheat mar
ket was as steady as clock with
prices NC to sc lower as compared
with the last close, September selling
around 81 &c and December about 81
cents.
