of the crews required for munition
trains. Other commodities in ship
ment will make further inroads upon
the allies.
Yet these munition manufacturers
in the last two years have contributed
most to the railroad earnings and their
claims hardly can be ignored. 1t Is a
difficulty that will have to be dealt
with probably by the President even
through.
Ahe only cheerful note in the whole
situation came from the William Fox

GOmpers Is Denounced as

Washington. Aug. 15.-President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton. of Labor, was characterized rs
public nuisance" by Senator Sher-
man of Illinois, in depression yester-
ping bill.
Referring to the indianapolis and
Los Angeles dynamite trials, Senator
Sherman declared the federation pres
ident had ''prostituted the cause of
for the defense of these criminals"
Mr.. Gompers never apologized to
anybody" he continued, but it was
the most fortunate thing that ever
happened to Mr. Gompers that he
himself escaped indictment on these
same charges.
I've been owing this to Mr.. Com
pers for some time and I'm handing
it to him now, and I'm responsible

within a short time. 1t is just at this
time too that the town gets the last of
its summer fruit crops.
AS a rule both of these kinds of
goods are off the rails by September
to make way for the shipments of
grain from the West. Should the grain
remain in Western warehouses the ef-
feet OF such stoppaSe would he felt
as far away as Bagdad, because much
of this years crop already has been
sold to the allies.
More appreciably than the tempor-
airy inactivity of grain shipments, the
allies would feel the cutting off of their
munitions supplies, which now are
flowing to them in hundred carload
lots every day. Now preferential de-
liVerieS Of ammunition would be made
If possible. However, this is the situa-
ton that will face the railroad men:
If there is a strike they will have
force of rnen that will represent only
small fraction of the 400, 900 work
be employed irst to run the necessary
trains. In this class is included, first,
the mail trains; second, the troop
transportation trains; third, the trains
bearing food to supply the militia on
the border; fourth, milk trains and
trains of necessary food SUPPLIES for
large communities; fifth, main pas
senger trains.
Nations Food Comes First
AS a consideration after these trains
have been manned the munition trains
will come next. Should the roads at
tempt to run ammunition loads before
there is a distribution of the country's
wheat there will be an immense
clamor all over the country, railroad
men appreciate. There will be crlti-
cism, no matter what course is taken
for the munition trains If their opera
tion obstructs other business
If the trains bearing manufactured
goods are run it will be at a sacrifice

Nersy the heaviest misfortune Will rest
upon TINS city because ot ITS 5,oOO,UUU
Inhabitants, its geographical situation
and its utter dependence upon out
siders for its daily nourishment.
Ii the strike comes the town expects
TO go on short rations, to tighten it's
belt. and make an awful outcry. Al
ready the preliminary SOUNDS are be-
ing registered. Tne dry goous men
have sent telegram to the President
begging him to do his utmost to bring
the 100000 railroad men and 225 rail-
road managers to terms.
The committing problem will be one
of the most severe results of a stop
page of uatf1c. The New York Cen
trial. New Haven, Pennsylvania, Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey, Lacka-
wanna, Erie, West Shore and Lehigh
Valley bring into town every morning
and bear out at night 100000 subur-

trains are in daily operation to handle
commuters.
Haul 5O,O0O,00O Tons Year
Every day in the year there is in
movement from 50,00O,OU0 to 10000
900 tons of freight throughout the
country. a large slice or this goes to
New York. New Yorks share con-
sists of the clothing 1t wears, the
food 1t eats, the milk 1t drinks and the
coal with which it is Warmed.
From the railroad point OF view the
greatest suffering a beleaguered New
York would feel would be IN the halt
ing of its coal supply. The deprivation
threatened by the anthracite strike of
several years ago would become an
actually. The town would be shut off
from the thousands OF tons of fuel 1t
consumes daily to keep its internal
machinery running.
A dietetic reform probably would
sweep over New York should the rail-
road brotherhoods resist the President
Cold storage foods are ,.ot plenteous
enough to feed the metropolis.
Hope In Jersey and Long lsland
1t is estimated that Long Island and
nearby New Jersey can keep New
York alive on limited diet if it can
get its products into town. For this
1t does not have to rely altogether On
the railroads because trolley lines that
have their terminals on Manhattan's
two rivers form a network through
New Jersey and Long Island. He con-
siders himself poor indeed, does the
farmer nowadays, if he has not a small
motor truck to carry his green goods
to the market.
Milk is q different problem. Most of
the supply that feeds the towns in
fants and colors the coffee comes from
New England and Pennsylvania. Thus
its delivery here becomes a railroad
problem.
Railroads Now Congested
At this season of the year the rail-
roads are congested with shipments of
manufactured goods, most of them
consigned to New York department
stores for the Fall trade. Any stop of
these deliveries would empty the stores

submission to the employees had been
drawn up.
The members of the committee
looked haggard from their prolonged
meeting which lasted until an early
hour this morning. They struggled
into the White House by twos and
threes. All were ready for the Presi-
dent when he entered the conference
room promptly at 9 o'clock
AT this stage Of the proceedings, I
can say absolutely nothing said Mr..
Lee as he entered the White House.
He carried a portfolio of papers.
Leaders Confer
While the managers were at the
White House, the brotherhood leaders
conferred among themselves and
awaited the call for Their conference.
The general opinion among them was
that the President was putting the
burden of averting strike up to the
railroads and that the prospects for a
settlement were good. Having agreed
practically to the principle of arbitra-
ton, the brotherhood leaders inclined
to the view that the controversy could
be settled by the railroads granting the
basic eight-hour day and arbitrating
the demands for time and a half for
overtime or by eliminating the double
compensation features and having the
railroads make a fat agreement to put
in the eight-hour day.
The attitude of the managers as
they went to the White House was said
to be one of yielding something. They
had spent most of the night deciding
whether they should eliminate all their
contingent proposals or some of them.
After an hour and half of conference
with the President the managers COM
mittee left the White House by a side
door, hoping to evade questioners.
