Washington August 80. - Presi-
dent Wilson's efforts to negotiate
peace between the railroads and the
brotherhoods are expected to end to-
day. Having exhausted every means Of
bringing the two parties together on
common ground to prevent a nation
wide strike the president is prepared
10 seek through legislation what appa-
rently cannot be accomplished by per
suasion. The conferences which were
held last night by the president with
beth employers and employees devel-
oped nothing beyond the fact that
neither side would yield anything
The president then began to work
on a message to congress at 2:90 this
afternoon, recommending legislation
which is designed to delay the impend-
irg strike, or to bring quick end to
it il the strike is in full swing before
congress passes the laws in question.

came more acute again today The

Business Side Of Athletics.
II may be mentioned here that every
attention is given to the business side
of athletics at the high school. The
expenses OF the schedule are figured
closely, and no game is contracted for
until the financial side has been care.
fully considered The entire expense
Of the schedule for this season Is
known in advance, and with good
weather conditions and hearty support
Of the townspeople, the season should
be moneymaker. The support last
season was the best possible. With
that kind Of support In the future the
soliciting of funds from the business
men to start the season will continue
to be thing Of the past
Athletic Board IN Charge.
The scheduling OF games, financing
OF the season, etc, are in charge Of
an athletic board in the school. This
board is made up Of the principal the
coaches, the student managers and
team captains and a faculty treasurer
Books are carefully kept and the exact
financial condition always known. No
money can be expended without the
vote of this board and all receipts
must be reported to it at the frequent
meetings It is entirely due to the
care and attention Of this board that
the season Of last year was such a
financial success.
Flatterne Prospects.
The general verdict is that prospects
for the local term are good--to put
the statement very conseryatively and
that is the way Coach Reeds prefers
to put it at this stage. The boys are
extremely anxious for the season to-
begin and will be out in force when
the coach issues his call to arms
