PRESIDENT WARNS
RAILWAY OFFICIALS
STRIKE WOULD CAUSE DRIFT
TIC PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
OF RAILROADS.
LEADERS REJECT PROPOSALS
May Call Directors Together in
Washington TO Supersede Off
Gals Power - Both Sides
Ready for Long Fight.

Washington. - President Wilson
warned 81 railroad executives, repre-
senting the rail transportation sys-
TENS of the United States, that the
country appeared to be drifting to-
wards public ownership of railroads
and that he believed a national rail-
road strike would aggravate that
trend of public opinion.
The president also mentioned the
fact that when a national railroad
strike occurred in France the govern
ment called the engineers, firemen,
conductors and trainmen to the col
ors and then ordered them as soldiers
to run the trains.
He said this in advising the railroad
presidents to accept the strike crisis
settlement, which he had drafted and
which was accepted by the four great
railway brotherhoods.
DEVELOPMENTS of Day.
These we're the latest developments
in the effort of President Wilson to
prevent a national railroad strike;
1, The four railway br~otherhoods
formally accepted the presidents
plan for settlement.
2. Thirty-one executives Of rail
roads whom the president had called
to the White House refused to accept
the settlement plan, but agreed to
consider it before giving Mr.. Wilson
their last word.
3. The president considered the ex-
pedient Of calling to Washington the
directors of the big railroads of the
United States.
Both Sides Ready to Fight.
The administration received no lit
tie surprise when it learned from the
score or more of railroad presidents
that they had rather fight the broth
erhoods in a strike than to agree to
the presidents plan of settlement.
The situation derives its acuteness
from the fact that the br%otherhoods
also are ready for a fight.
The railroads believe they can beat
the brotherhoods in three days; the
brotherhoods say they can beat the
railroads in two days, and each side
had Just as leave fight it out as not.
Whether the torrid weather Of the
day has had anything to do with
1t or not, everybody concerned is in
a belligerent attitude and threats are
flying fast.
The levelheaded leaders of both
sides are holding the lid on the boil.

OF TRIP To- GIVE
TESTIMONY JARS BRYAN

New York, Jan. 4.-William Jer-
nings Bryan vigorously protested to-
day against the law of New York
State, because he was required to
come here at his own expense and
give testimony in suit for libel.
II am here under duress," declar-
ed Mr.. Bryan, because 1t is the on
ly way I can avoid contempt pro-
ceedings."
Mr.. Bryan was examined in an ac-
ton brought against Greek news
paper. He was questioned concern
ing the sale by the United States to
Greece of the old battleships Idaho
and Mississippi, but said he knew
nothing of the details. He denied
that he gave any secrets of gun fire
control to the Greek Government or
that while Secretary of State he had
seen any letter written to influence
him against Agememon Schliemann,
former Greek Minister to the Unit
ed States. He also said he had not
heard criticisms alleged to have been
made of him by Schliemann.
According to Mr.. Bryan, the sale
Of the battleships was matter which
rested entirely with the Navy De-
partment. He admitted that gun
fire control secrets might have been
divulged by the Navy Department
without his knowledge or that the
State Department might have attend
ed to some details Of routine work
without his personal knowledge.
The suit is the outgrowth Of
statement in the Greek newspaper
that the plaintiff, Petros P. Tatanis,
wrote or caused to be written LETT
ter with view to bringing about III
feeling between Mr.. Bryan and the
former Greek Minister.
