Earlier in the day President Will
son discussed the railroad situation
at length with Senator Newlands and
Representative Adamson, chairmen of
the two committees of Congress in
charge of legislation affecting inter-
state commerce. Their visit was the
consequence of that of the railroad
men last night. The two chairmen
are said to have agreed that the Presi-
dents position in the present situation
was right, and to have said that every
effort could be expected in Congress
to put through any legislation which
might help solve the present difficulty
and provide for the future.
\ MAY RAISE RATES
/; One of the means of recpuping sug-
gested by the President to the railroads
i in his public outline of his position was

[ was pointed out tonight that the Presi-
dent cannot directly ask the interstate
4 commerce commission to grant increases
Ito the railroads. Congress, however,
might pass resolution directing the
commission in view of what it considers
, an unprecedented situation to grant high
{ er rates.
Congress also might pass resolution
directing the commission to investigate
all matters involved in the present con-
) troversy and the whole subject of the
i relations Of railroads and their employees.

issued by the governor.
1t has been reported that among
the applicants for certificates at the
forthcoming examination, for the first
time since the board has been organz-
