WANTS SBOARDOF
TRADES OPINION
SENT TO WILSON
Meeting to Determine Position
of Directors Will Be Held
Today.
TELEGRAM FROM NEW YORK
Secretary Smith Says As "Ab-
stract Proposition He Favors
Arbitration of all Differences
Likely kilograms Will Be
Sent to Washington.
TELEGRAM FROM NEW YORK

A special effort will be made this
morning to get the directors of tne
Brunswick board of trade together.
The purpose of this meeting will be
to ascertain their opinion as to whetb-
er President Wilson is right in his eI.
fort to obtain concession of the s.
hour day from the railroads before be.
ginning arbitration
The railroads have contended ever
since they were called to Washington
that it would be dangerous prece-
dent to concede the 8-hour day to the
employees. They have insisted on ar
bitration of all the differences. Presi
dent Wilson. however, has thought
the only way to avert the disastrous
strike pending was for the railroads
to concede the S-hour day and arbi-
trate the other differences
1t has been thought by many that
the railroads were delaying for the
purpose Of turning public opinion to
their side. The strike is still threat
ening and the railroads are doing all
in their power. before final answer
is given, to mold public opinion. 9th
ers have taken up the cause in .he
hope of persuading President Wilsol
to favor arbitration of the whole mat
ter.
The following telegram was deliv.
cred to the Brunswick board of
trade yesterday morning signed by
George Pope, president of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
with headquarters in New York:
Il strongly believe that the princi
pal of arbitration for matters involv
ing the interruption Of railway SER
vice is seriously imperilled in the
pending railroad controversy Does
not security against the future inter
ruption of vital commercial inter-
course demand that the present eco
nomic differences between railroad
managers and their employees be ar
bitrated? If you believe this will you
not Immediately express your oDin-
ion by telegraphing to President VII
son if you have not already done so.
And ask your members and others
who share your view to do likewise.
The president should have the buGi.
ness judgment of the country now for
his guidance"
Secretary Smith stated yesterday
that the directors would be gathered
together this morning to determine
their position on the matter. 81 am
frank to say" said Secretary A. M.
Smith yesterday. "that as an abstract
principle I am always in favor of ar
bitrating such differences as exist be-
tween the railroads and their en-
ployes. It seems to me President Will
sons course will lead to dangerous
precedent"
What the position of the directors
will be is not known. 1t is likely
that kilograms will be sent the pres
ident this morning after the meet
ing. sslE

SITUATION MAY BE SAME

WASHINGTON, Aupg. 25.-Presi-
dent Wilson held a conference with
the Brotherhoods representatives this
afternoon and acquainted them with
the progress that had been made in
his efforts to secure eight-hour day
concessions from the railroads.
President Wilson, at the meeting
with the Brotherhoods' representa-
tives, although making no new propo-
sition, made the suggestion that they
split the difference with the railroads
accepting nine-hour day with ten
hours pay. He also suggested several
other compromises.
The conference was somewhat ami
mated. The Brotherhoods' representa-
tives told the president that they had
accepted his plan Of an eight-ho
day en- the ten hour pay basis in good
faith, abandoning all collateral ques-
tions, including their demand for over
time and that they must stand pat on
these concessions.
The representatives declare that if
the railroads will not yield there is
nothing for the men to do but to
order a general strike. They also
told President Wilson that the rail
roads are manufacturing sentiment"
throughout the entire country against
his plan of settlement
The railroad presidents and man
ayers in the meanwhile held secret
conference in the Willard hotel going
thoroughly over the situation.
1t is said that radical differences
exist between the executives and
that the mere powerful are trying to
force action.

cuts the railway and threatens Stan

Austrians is expected.

3O-MILE ROUTE FROM
TAMPA TO PASS-A-GRILLE
TO BE PUSHED

st. Petersburg, Aug. 10. A thir-
ty-mile route either by trolley or by
auto over excellent brick road from
Tampa to assa-a-Grille, while long
ago was figured out on paper prom
ises to become a material accom-
plishment at no distant date. With
the incorporation of a company head
ed by George S. Candy, Sr., to bridge
old Tampa bay, bringing Tampa
within Is miles of this city, Pass-a-
Grille and st. Petersburg have taken
up in earnest the project of COM
pleting the link by bridging Boca
Ceiga bay to Long Key, thus con-
Meeting the town of Pass-a-Grille
with direct trolley and highway
routes with this city.
The first steps to be taken are the
outgrowth of a conference at Pass-a-
Grille among interested persons in
Guiding Mayor Duffy of that town,
w. NJ. Dishman, city attorney for
Pass-a-Grille and w. IL. Straub.
Ask County to Brick Road
Under plans worked out by en-
gineers for the investment company,
the proposed line would strike
southwark wrom point on West
Central avenue where the T. & G..
C. tracks bisect the trolley line to
Boca Ceiga bay and directly across
to Dead Mans key and thence to
Long Key and southwark on the is
land to Pass-a-Grille. The road bed
across the bay would be a solid Ill
with wash channels at intervals,
but from Dead Mans key to Long
key, between which is the deep chan
mel used by craft navigating Boca
Ceiga bay, draw or turn bridge
would be installed with a forty-foot
opening.
In order to provide for a highway
as we'll as a trolley line, the Invest
ment company has offered to do all
the necessary grading from the city
limits of St. Petersburg to Pass-a-
Grille, for both the trolley and an
auto road. provided the county will
brick surface the road and share the
expense of putting in draw bridge.

LACK OF OXYGEN
:. CAUSES DEATH OF FISH
Floods Washed Decomposed Vege-
table Matter Into the Streams,
Killing Many

Mariana. Aug. 10.-The mys-
terry of the large number of dead
fish which have been cast UP here
and at other places since the recent
flood and storms has been explained
by the Bureau of Fisheries in reply
to a question from j F. Davis, of
Mariana
The bureau explained that the
fish were killed by lack of sufficient
oxygen in the water. The decrease of
oxygen, which is necessary ele-
ment, was, in all probability, the
bureau explained, caused by the
large quantity of decomposed vege-
table matter which was washed into
the streams by the floods, the de-
composed matters taking up the
oxygen.
Quantities of dead fish have been
seen all over this section, and for
weeks the mystery was unexplained
The explanation of the fisheries bu-
reau has greatly relieved the minds
of many, who were at loss to ex-
plain the phenomena.
