Western Newspaper uulon News Service.
Washington. Aug. 29.-unless the
railroads or the unions promise con-
cessions President Wilson will go be-
fore Congress and propose legislation
designed to avert the impending gen
eral strike, scheduled to 90 into e..
feet next Monday.
Mr.. Wilson said last night that ne
saw little hope OF cffecting a settle
ment by negotiation. and he had de
cided to ask the aid OF Congress. He
was engaged last night in writing the
address he intends to deliver TO the
Joint session OF the Senate and House
setting forth his fruitles3 efforts to
settle the controversy. and proposing
legislation no, only TO avert the i'm
pending strike II possible, but to min.
imize such menace TO the public we.-
fare in the future.
The President also contemplate5
issuing an address to the American
people containing an appeal to the
railroads and the unions TO prevent an
Interruption OF transportation which
would cause untold suffering through
out the country.
According 10 instructions issued BY
the unions the operation OF rIl
trains on 225 railroads will be sus-
pended next Monday at Z a. IN. Wash
ington time.
The President called the brother
hood heads to the White House and
appealed to them 10 suspend the in
structions or at least 10 postpone the
date OF the walkout The brotherhood
presidents refused to accede to the re-
quest.
President Wilson also presented to
the union leaders a proposal made to
him BY the railroad executives. This
was q suggestion of arbitration OF all
the issues in a slightly different form
from that embodied in the formal an
swer OF the executives rejecting the
Presidents compromise plan. The
brotherhood presidents said they
could not accept the proposition in.
asmuch as the 600 district chairmen
authorized to pass on such questions
had gone home.
The President thereupon telephoned
the executives that the unions had
refused 10 make any concessions.
The President. who drove to the
capitol to confer with the Democratic
leaders. proposed the following lesis-
lstion:
Establishment OF the eight.hour day
for all employees OF Interstate rail.
roads.
Addition OF two members to the In

division OF the body into groups with
the object OF expediting its work. par.

advances.
Creation OF permanent commits
sion to which II would be obligatory.
for the carriers and their employees
10 submit all disputes.
Provision enjoining strikes and
lockouts pending the decision OF the
commission and for sixty days there
after.
The adyisability OF empowering the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
consider wages as one OF the elements
in the fixing OF railroad rates also
was discussed.
Members OF Congress. It Is stated,
say that legislation cannot now be
passed in time to avert tie.up.

CHAPTER VI.

Mrs. vertreeA s'sat up" for her daugh-
ter, sAIr. vertrees having retired after a
restless evening, not much soothed by
the society Of his Landseers. But Mrs.
vertrees had long vigil of it.
She sat through the slow night hours
In d stin little chair under the gaslight
In Her own room, which was directly
over the "front hall" There, book In
hand, she employed the time in her
own remmiscences, though it was her
belief that she was reading Madame de
Remusat's.
Her thoughts went backward into
her life and into her husbands; and
the deeper into the past they went, the
brighter the pictures they brought her
and there is tragedy. Like her hus-
band, she thought backward because
she did not dare think forward definite
II. What thinking forward this trou-
bled couple ventured took the form o.
4 slender hope which neither Of them
could have borne to hear put in words,
and yet they had talked 1t over, day
after day, from the very hour when
they heard Sheridan was to build his
new house next door. For-so quick

become an antique their youth was OF
the innocent old days, SO dead! Of
sbreeding" and "gentility,'' and no
craft had been more straitly trained
uponS them than that of talking about
things without mentioning them. Here
Ia was marked the most vital differ
ence between Mr.. and Mrs. Vertrees
and their big new neighb0r. Sheridan,
though his youth was Of the same
epoch, knew nothing OF such matters.
He had been chopping wood for the
morning fire In the country grocery
whflx they were still dancing.
Itswas AFTER one o'clock when Mrs.
Vertrees heard steps and the delicate
clinking OF the key in the lock, and
then, with the ,opening of the door,
Mays laugh and, Yes-if You aren't
afraid tomorrowg'
The door closed, and she rushed up
stairs, bringing with her breath Of
