"L. C. C. INQUIRY NOT
 THE REMEDY"-WILSON

BOSTON, Aug. 14.-An inquiry by the interstate commerce com- mission into the threatened rail road strike would not be remedy for the crisis at the present mo ment, President Wilson said in a letter received by President Chas. F. Weed of the Boston Chamber of Commerce today. The com munication, dated August fl, fol- lows:
 My dear Mir. Weed:
 "AIIow me to acknowledge the receipt of your telegram of August 9th, conveying to me the vote of the Boston Chamber of Commerce recommending that be instruct ed by Congress to ascertain the facts in the pending railroad con troversy.
 You need not doubt that the full importance and gravity of the now acute controversy between AhS OGOo dliO hlCtT has been a constant subject of thought and ionference with me, or that have been trying to make sure that no means of as- sisting a settlement was over looked.
 "There is no compuIsion of law available by which we could obIige either party of the controversy to await the findings of an in- quiry by the Interstate Commerce Commission and it seems to me that such an inquiry is no remedy at the moment.
 "As write conferences are in progress in New York between both parties to the controversy and the federal board of media ton and consultation, and | am hourly awaiting a report from those conferences before deter mining what is my duty.
 Sincerely yours,
 (Signed) WOODROW WILSON"
