Camp Tents Blown Down
The storm played havoc among the
army camps in the Brownsville dis
trict, practically half of the tents hav-
ing been blown down by the storm,
and loss of considerable army equip
ment was reported. Fully thirty
thousand national guardsmen and
regular soldiers, it was stated, slept
in public buildings in Brownsville last
night. The guardsmen principally
affected were those from Illinois,
Iowa and Virginia. Fear was enter

army stores and supplies would be

everything movable before it, leaving
in its wake dozens of demolished
summer cottages and thousands of
dollars of damage in the business
section.

attitude of the railroad presidents TO
ask for time to consider the Presi-
dents plan was said to be part of this
program.
The railroad presidents now num-
bering 33, went to the White House
conference without their managers
committee, contrary to expectations
and previous announcement. They
still held to the view that they had
only authority to speak for their W
roads and were not vested with the
authority to speak for all the lines
which h managers committee has.
Majority Unyielding
There were many reports of the at
titude of the presidents. none of which
could be definitely traced to a respon-
sible source. The predominant one
was hat not all the presidents were
in favor of holding out against the
Presidents proposition to the point
of a strike. The majority. however,
were said to be in an unyielding atti-
tude.
Hale Holden, president of the Bur
lington, again acted as spokesman and
explained why the railroads were in
sisting o nthe principle of arbitration.
He declared that the principle at stake
was much larger than the question of
wages and hours involved and that
the railroads believed that they owed
ii to themselves to continue in their
present position,
