Commerce Commission
No Remedy, Says Wilson

Boston, Aug. 14.-An inquiry by the
Interstate Commerce Commission into
the threatened railroad strike would
not be a remedy for the crisis at the
present moment, President Wilson said
in letter received to-day by President
Charles F. Weed of the Boston Cham
Der Of Commerce. The communication,
dated August IL, was as follows:
"My Dear Mr.. Weed:
"Allow me to acknowledge the receipt
Of your telegram of August 9, con-
veying TO me the vote Of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce recommending
that the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion be instructed by Congress to as
certain the facts in the pending rail-
road controversy.
"You need not doubt that the full i'm
portance and gravity of the new acute
controversy between the railroads and
their employees has been constant sub
ject of thought ana conference with
me, or that l have been trying to make
sure that no means of assisting set
Element was overlooked.
There is no compulsion of law avail
able by which we could oblige either
party TO the controversy to await an IN
quiry by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and it seems to me such an
inquiry is not a remedy at the moment.
JAS / write, conferences are in prog
ress in New York City between both
parties to the controversy and the
Federal Boyd Of Mediation and Con-
Citation, and ] am hourly awaiting a
report from those conferences before
determining what is my duty.
Sincerely yours,
GWOODROW WILSON"

TROLLEY CUTS AUTO
IN HALF; THREE HURT
Mr.. and Mrs. S. w. Adler Are
Hurled from Machine.

Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel W. Adler, of 23o
West Seventy-sixth Street. were flung
from their automobile at 8 o'clock last
evening near the Amckkassin Inn, at
Hastings -on-Hudson. Their chauffeur
darted past a southbound trolley car
on Warburton Avenue and swung
across the tracks just in time to be hit
by a speeding northbound car.
The limousine was cut in two as il
by a huge pair of shears. Mr.. Adler
and his wife were picked I'D uncon-
scious, having been thrown against a
stone wall They were taken to ST
Johns Hospital, seriously cut and
bruised. Two valuable Japanese span
lels in the car were killed.
"Do see if my dogs have been hurt"
Mrs. Adler implored as soon as she re-
covered consciousness.
At ST. Johns Hospital late last night
it was said Mrs. Adler's condition was
critical. Her husband was hurt less
seriously, but both had to be operated
on. Their chauffeur, Joseph Stoska,
Of 200 West Sixty-ninth Street, Man
haitian, also was taken to the hospital.
Mr.. Adler is president OF the ZELDA

IErnm The Trhune Bureau.l

Washington, Aug. l4.-Not since the
Carrizal affair, when for hours war
with Mexico hung by thread and
Washington was plunged into fever
of excitement. has the air breathed so
Enthusiastically the tenseness OF situa-
ton as to-day, when President Wilson
began the difficult task Of attempting
to prevent a railway strike that would
paralyze the entire business Of the
country.
At the White House. the President
had cancelled all engagements and
given up the entire day to conferences
with representatives of the four
brotherhoods and the railroads. Around
the pillars of the north entrance,
crowds of sightseers to the capital
stood about, awed by their proximity
TO the deliberations and anxious for
a glimpse of the men in whose hands
rested the decision as to whether car
wheels would continue to turn.
If the capital, Congress and Admin
istration alike rad been too optimistic
regarding the impossibility of such a
catastrophe as a general railroad strike,
it was quickly sobered when the rail-
way men emerged from the White
House. There was suddenly felt for
the first time the tension, the nervous
strain of men who for days and weeks
have wrestled with a problem that has
suddenly gotten beyond their grasp. 1t
was evident that as far as their own
power went they were helpless.
Unless the President could find way
out America would be plunged into an
industrial war whose results were
beyond all calculation.
Three Courses Are Open.
In the minds Of those who watched
while the issues were being debated
two facts stood out. They were how
the public could protect its own inter
ests and what the strikes effects on
the fortunes Of Woodrow Wilson would
be.
The President has three courses
open TO him. lie can attempt 10 bring
both factions together, as Roosevelt
did in the coal strike. and by acting
as mediator find basis of possible
agreement. The United States Board
of Mediation and Cancellation was un-
able TO perform that function. That
the President is attempting this plan
seems to be the Interpretation of to-
days conferences. In it, however. he
is confronted by the same difficulty
which beset the Mediation Board find
