Early Outlook Pessimistic.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 2S.--
President Wilson's negotiation be.
tween the four great brotherhoods and
railroad executives representing in.
vestments of approximately four BIZ
lion dollars, for averting the threat
ened nationwide strike are in their
last stages at noon today and either
break or settlement is apparently
Eear.
Hope of preventing complete tic
ul of thet transportation lines now
seems rather remote, the one ray Of
encouragement being found in the fact
that Congress remains in session, and
the Wilson administration has hereto
forei Indicated an inclination to ask the
passage of laws that would effectually
prevent strike of such magnitude as
that now impending. What the atti-
tude of congress regarding the situa
ton would be is, OF course, problemat.
ical and with all of the influence of the
administration being exerted, it nigh;
be found impossible to secure the pas
sage of preventive laws soon enough to
avert a tie-up of the transportation
lines throughout the country.
The situation today remains little
removed from the status obtaining
when President Wilson summoned the
railroad executives to the white house
several days ago, the only change be-
ing the growing impatience of the men
and the seeming unanimity of decision
among the railroad executives to stand
firm for their contention until the
very last The railroad executives
contend steadfastly for the principle
Of arbitration and decline absolutely I !,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 2s.-
President Wilson's plan to break the
deadlock existing with regard to the
railroad strike situation was discussed
at conferences today between the pres
ident and officials here The plan in
cludes the enactment of an eight-hour
day law for the government of railroad
employees, this law to become effective
far enough in the future as to allow
the railroads to prepare to meet its
provisions, and the creation of an in
vestigation commission and the pre-
venting of lockouts or strikes pending
the investigations of this commission.
The plan was discussed as the next
step in the effort to prevent nation
wide trike after the railroad managers
formally refused to accept the presi-
dents former plan, details of which
have already been published.
All hope of congress adiourning this
week has been abandoned, and ad-
ministration leaders are now prepar-
ing to remain in Washington until the
strike situation clarifies, even If they
are detained until after the November
elections. A majority of the brother
hoods representatives have returned
to their homes, the last of the six
hundred and forty-two chairmen of
committees leaving today, the situation
here being left in care of twenty-four
representatives who will handle the
situation until the end.
The brotherhoods' heads in a state.
nent this afternoon replied to the
published statement Of President Rea
Of the Pennsylvania railroad, who as
serted the railroads would rather face
strike than give up the principle OF
arbitration. The brotherhoods' heads
i'll this statement accuse the Penn.
sylvania railroad head of inconsistency.
and declare that road only two years
ago fought the efforts of its shopmen
to organize and arbitrate grievances
with all of the means at their com
mand.

The search of Flint river for Wade's

citizens of Leslie and DeSoto, accom-
panied by Sheriff Lucius Harvey and
Deputy Sheriff Harvey left Americus
for a point near Montezuma, the task
of dragging the river bottom beginning

the military situation in the Balkans Of
the Rumanian declaration of war on
Austria. Military moves already made
by both sides were carefully guarded,
no hint Of these being permitted to be-
come public. Press dispatches says
Germany is expected to declare war on
Rumania within twenty -four hours,
with Turkey and Bulgaria following
closely with similar action. The Ger j.
man federal council, which must con-
sent to any declaration of war other
than for defense Of the empire is in
session this afternoon.
There are indications that Rumania
moved in accordance with pre-deter-
mined plan of the Entente nations. Cor.
roboration of this belief is found in
the fact that the Rumanian declaration
was made simultaneously with Italy's
declaration against Germany, and there
is expected to be the closest of COOP
Grafton between Rumania and the En-
tente, as has APPARENTLY been the Allies
policy since the beginning of the war.
