Epitome Of Views by Railway
Managers and Brother
hoods on the Six
Sections.
DO NOT PLEASE ALL
Biggest Split Is Over the Eight Hour
Day Which the Men Want,
But Roads Are
Opposing.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-r,Ilow.
ing is an epitome of views held by
railway managers and railway broth
erhood chiefs on the six proposals Of
President Wilson:
First-Brotherhoods are passive re-
garding any plan to enlarge member.
commerce commission. Railroads
whole-hcartedly approve the sugges.
tion.
Second unanimously
want establishment of an eight hour
would prevent the strike. Railroads
have made their chief fight against
this proposition.
Third-Brotherhood not greatly
concerned over appointment of COM
mission to study effects of an eight
hour day on operation costs. Rail
ways desire such commission II the
eight hour day law is inevitable.
Fourth th-Brotherhoods opposed--in
principle only-suggesting that expli
city congress approve the interstate
commerce commission consideration
of increased freight rates; believe the
roads are making enough now to grant
demands. Railways favor any move
to give them increased freight rates
but are doubtful of result of such con
sideration.
F'ifth-Brotherhoods oppose as un
American forcing to work when they
don't want to-" which they say would
be the result of the creation of com
mission to investigate labor disputes
with the proviso that to strike would
be unlawful during any investigation
Railroads specifically asked for such
commission.
Sixth-Brotherhood do not oppose
giving the president power to operate
, trains in event of military necessity
provided only trains needed for mill
| tary purposes are thus operated Rail
roads favor any measure that keeps
trains running if strike occurs.

NO FRUIT FROM

Embargo Placed on Perishable
Freight as Result Of the Elk
pected Strike of Next
Week.
LOSS TO THE GROWERS
Minneapolis Flour Mills Would be
Forced to Close Down With
In a Few Days After
the Tie-up.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.-Cali-
fornia fruit interests are threatened
with great losses as an effect of the
embargo placed on perishable COM
modities and live stock shipments by
the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
railways. The orders growing out of
the threatened railway strike. are
effective today. Just in the heavy
shipping season the fruit interests of
the country find themselves with no
means of handling their rapidly ripen-
ing crops which will be ruined If re-
lief is not forthcoming quickly.
The strike is expected to cause
trouble in supplying this city's needs
until water transportation is inaugu-
rated sufficiently to handle the neces-
sary commodities.
AS result of their strike prepara-
tions neither the Southern Pacific nor
the Santa Fe expects to cease passen-
ger train service If the strike is called
Monday. Southern Pacific officials de-
clare former employees and those in
service long enough to warrant a
pension in short time, have been
fully organized for the impending
crisis.
1t is not known what preparations
have been made by the Western
Pacific to meet strike.
Prices are Advancing.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.--Produce and
live stock prices in the local markets
scared today az additional western
railways prepared to ban perishable
freight shipments, beginning Satur-
day.
Notices were posted on the floor Of
the Chicago Dairy Board that the
Michigan Central, Michigan Southern
and the Baltimore and Ohio roads
would accept butter and egg ship
ments consigned to Philadelphia, New
York and Boston only until Saturday.
Produce men predicted big rise in
butter and egg prices.
Unfavorable strike news boosted
hogs to it's former high level Of $11.30
a hundred pounds. Cattle showed a
gain, while sheep advanced from Is
to 80 cents per hundred pounds.
Potato prices jumped also. Mime
sofa and Ohio shipments were quoted

Live poultry showed gains.

Perplexing Delays After Sun
day Night in Prospect for
Those Who Expect
to Ride.
SHIPPERS ARE NOTIFIED
Western Railroads Send Out Orders
for the Travelling Public to
Expect Strike Next
Week.

CHICAGO, Aug. 30.-The travelling
public and shippers were warned by
western railroads today to prepare for
strike Monday.
Shippers were notified today by a
dozen roads running out of Chicago
that perishable freight that would not
arrive at its destination on or before
Saturday would not be accepted. The
Santa Fe has already issued an order
| to its agents to refuse shipments OF
perishables and live stock at once.
Other railroads taking as sweeping
action, but setting their time limit
ahead to Saturday for freight deliver
les, include:
Burlington. Northern Pacific. Rock
Island, Southern Pacific, Missouri
Kansas and Texas, st. Louis and San
Francisco. Louisville and Nashville
and the Mobile and Ohio.
Remaining roads are expected to
take similar action within twenty
! four hours.
The Southern Pacific warned all
prospective travellers they might be
subjected to "perplexing delays after
Sunday night" Other railroads noti
fled their agents to give the same
warning to travellers.
A strike of 5000 freight handlers In
Chicago has been called for this af
ternoon.
The only way to avert it is by sub
mission Of the roads to the mems de
imands-the right for business agents
to collect dues from union members
during certain hours Of employment
at the freight houses. More than S01
are out on three roads now. The
Burlington plans to fight the strike
and has prepared to use strike break
ers according to Thomas Pratt. spe
cial agent Of the road IF a strike IL
called, it will tie up all Chicago
freight shipments.
There is enough meat. eggs ane
canned vegetables in cold storage
here to keep Chicagoans in food fol
year in case of a strike. The only
danger. is an ice and coal shortage
Coal dealers say the present coal sup
ply would be exhausted within five
DAYS. With no coal to generate cola
air for refrigerating houses, the fooe
supplies stored in these houses would
quickly spoil. Artificial ice plant:
would be compelled to close.

MAKING CHANGES
IN THE LINEUP
Entrance of Rumania in the
War Drama, Causes Kaiser
to Put New Leaders
in Command.
DIPLOMATS DISMISSED
Foreign Secretary Reported to Have
rendered His Resignation After
the New Declaration
Of War.

LONDON, Aug. 80. = Radical
changes in German military and dip
lomatic leadership were made by the
kaiser following Rumania's appear
ance in the war drama as a new
enemy.
Dispatches from Berlin today not
only confirmed the dismissal Of Gen
eral Falkenhayn as chief Of the Ger
man general staff, but reported Field
Marshal Mackensen in all probability
will succeed Won Hindenburg in
supreme command of the Austro-Ger-
man armies on the Russian and Ru-
manian fronts. Won Hindenburg has
been appointed chief of the general
staff, succeeding Falkenhayn.
Despite his advanced age. General
Won Kluck may be recalled to active
service and given command of one of
the Austro-German armies that will
attempt to stem the Russo so-Rumanian
invasion of Hungary.
There is no confirmation of re-
port from The Hague that both
Foreign Secretary Won Jagow and
Under Secretary Zimmerman tender
ed their designations after Rumania
declared war. 1t has been learned
from Berlin, however, that neither
participated in the conference be-
tween Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg and certain of his ministers that
followed by few hours the news of
Rumania's action.
From Dutch sources 1t was reported
today that the kaiser already had
ordered the dismissal of German dip
lomats responsible for failing to keep
Rumania out Of the war.
Big Shake Up.
LONDON, Aug. Se.-kaiser VIII
helm dismissed General Falkenhayn,
chief of the German general staff, be-
cause Falkenhayn was opposed to
sending troops to the eastern front
to meet Rumanian invasion, The
Hague correspondent of the Exchange
Telegraph reported today.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
urged that reinforcements be sent to
Austria and won the support of the
kaiser with the result that troop
trains are now rushing German sol
diers to the defense of Pennsylvania
The change in the general staff
means the dismissal of thirty German
generals on both fronts, the most radi
cal shake-up in any army since the
war began, the correspondent stated.

kr Of Optimism in the Senate
Where All Agree That
Trouble Must Be
Averted.
IE EIGHT HOUR Law
psssIdent Wilson Does Not Give Up
But still 10 Trying to Influence
Men to Avoid Tie
Up.

IBy j. p. Yoder, United Press Stan
Correspondent
WASHINGTON Aug. 3O.-Congress
today formally took up the herculean
task Of preventing the worst indus
trial struggle in history strike of
four hundred thousand employees on
lie 250,0OO miles of the country's 225
railroads., set for Monday.
There was an air of optimism pres
mt as the senate interstate COM
merce committee met to weave Presi-
dent Wilson's suggestions into legis-
latiye form.
Senate democratic and republican
members are unanimous on one point,
(he strike must be prevented.
For this reason the tentative plan
% rush through the senate a bill con-
taining only those suggestions Of the
president which will achieve this
without being subject to attack and
ruinous delay through debate. This
effort being successful, 1t was argued
the other suggestions could later be
considered as amendments with ample
time for debate
Inquiry among senators, including
progressive, republicans and demo
Gratis who might object to certain sug-
gestions as being too favorable to the
railroads, showed the following as
being most likely to be acceptable:
The eight hour proposition;
authorization of commission to
study and report to congress on the
effect Of the eight hour laws opera
lion; provision for mediation, con-
eiliation and arbitration with clause
compelling full public investigation
bf every phase of the dispute before
strike or lockout may be lawfully
attempted and lodgment in the hands
of the president Of the power, IN case
| of military necessity, to take over
control of the railroads.
Fight on the other two suggestions
of the Observation-Disclosures OF the
Interstate commerce com mission and
explicit approval by congress of the
consideration by the interstate COM
merce commission of an increase in
freight rates appeared inevitable.
Senators Kenyon, Cummins and La
Toilette have bitterly opposed any
hint Of such suggestions in the past.
All three have fought together on
this line. Senator Cummins was the
first of the progressive trio to declare
his position. He announced yester-
day his intention Of making "observa-
tions regarding legislation in connec-
ton with the railroad situation"
