STAR Correspondent United Prcsa)
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.--The
| showdown in the fight between the
railroads and the railroad brother
hoods seemed at hand this after
noon. The question whether the
country's industrial activity was to
continue or TO be supplanted by
complete stagnation may be de-
termined before night.
For hours in a room at the VIII
lard hotel the heads Of the Ameri-
can railways argued over the lam
guage in which they should declare
TO the president their "final' stand.
They worked over and over the
! paragraphs of a proposal for settle.
| ment which they had little reason
to believe the brotherhoods would
accept, but which they desired TO
be an unanswerable brief OF their
side OF the case.
AT the White House the president
deferred meeting with the brother
hoods heads until this proposition
of the executives had reached him.
The word went out that, regard
less of the belief OF the railroad
presidents in the fnality OF their
own action. the president was not
prepared TO allow the negotiations
TO drop He will insist on "continu-
ing efforts TO prevent the break" II

Both the presidents and their en-
ployes asserted today that they
were ready for a fight 10 the bitter
end.

number OF trains Although some
OF the grimmer fighters advocated
/ covering the engines with white
lead and laying off all trains, the
majority realized that the mails
must be carried and that milk must
! be provided for the babies.
The men declare that in the event
Of a strike, tho guilt Will rest on
/ the heads OF the railroads.
The employees said there might be
few ready 10 continue laboring.
! but that the roads as a whole would

In the railroad camp the grim
NEST fighters said Put white lead
on the engines and lay everything
on
The more conservative said: We
must sec that the babies have their
milk and the nation its food"
Down the street. the employees said
the guilt for ruin or starvation
would lie upon the railroad kings.

railroad presidents have been
wrestling with the problem OF meet

in the series this year. as indicated in
many ways, was greater by far than
last year, when record crowd of A.

The height of this interest was
shown by early morning crowds at

eager to obtain preference in the pur-
chase of grandstand seats. The new
system. by which successful applicants
were forced to fall in with a policy of
lines. instead of having certain tickets
held to their order, caused some con-
fusion yesterday and was responsible
for the early lines today. Prospective
spectators were under surveillance of
police officers and plain-clothes men,
who had orders to arrest any persons
trading in tickets.
