ready.
This statement came today from
both railroad executives and en-
ployes as national transportation pa
raIysis doomed up. Railroad man
ayers contended they could keep
sufficient trains running through
loyal employees" to prevent milk and
food famine-and its consequent
garnering of death and desolation.
Employees said there might be few
ready to continue laboring, but that
roads as whole would be tied up
tighter than drum.
In the railroad camp the grimmest
fighters said: Put white lead on the
engines and lay everything off," The
most conservative said: eve must
see that the babies have thir milk
and the nation its food" Employees
said guilt for ruin or starvation
would lie upon railroad kings.
1t developed today that while rail
road presidents have been wrestling
with problem of meeting Pres. VIII
sons proposal, the managers, some
what SIdetracked from. this phase or
the situation, have been working out
plans for handling an actual strike if
it comes.
A comprehensive plan is complete,
they now declare. Plans include de-
tails of train operation. Emergency
schedules have been made and it is
known that since the beginning of
the negotiations embargoes on some
commodities have been considered.
One railroad official said that imme-
diately upon declaration of a strike
embargoes would be placed on war
munitions and dry good and imper-
ishable commodities not regarded as
necessities.
The first thought of the roads will
be to carry foodstuffs.
Significance was seen today in the
fact that many of the $40 railroad

RAIL CHIEFS REFUSE DEMANDS BOTH SIDES
PREPARE FOR IMMEDIATE STRIKE

Sixty executives called here week
ago by Pres. Wilson have ignored his
peace proposal and decided to submit
substitute proposition, which even
most optimistic feel brotherhood will
turn down. 1t provides:
That any eight-hour day must not
be tried until after arbitration and in
Vestigation.
That question Of wages must be.
settled by impartial board or COM
mission.
That roads will abide by-decision
of such an impartial body, findings
to take effect from time arbitration q
begins.
Roads proposal now agreed on
among themselves requests no bene-
fetal legislation and no increased
rates. They suggest only that in
event of arbitration AND investiga-
ton of eight-hour working day an
impartial commission do the work.
It is only proposal that will come
from roads, according to a leading
executive. He added: ct is better
than the brotherhood leaders de-
serve. If they don't like it they know
what they can do"
With this action unanimously
agreed upon, the roads passed ques-
ton of strike or peace back to Pres.
Wilson and the brotherhoods.
There is still hope, but general i'm
preston prevailed that last visible
thread was cut yesterday when Pres.
Wilson notified committee Of execu-
tives that employees showed no
change on their original stand
against arbitration.
