the Chicago, Kansas City, East St. Louis and other markets are antici- pated before the embargo becomes eff fective.
 While railroads were striving to pro- vide for the strike, manufacturers of the middle west gathered in Chicago in an eleventh hour attempt to find some means of avoiding it. At con ference, called by the Illinois Manu- lecturers Association and attended by representatives of similar organiZa- tions from various states, resolutions were adopted urging that President Wilson insist on the principle of ar bitration.
 Some of the officials said they would operate twenty five per cent of the regular traffic out of Chicago from the minute a strike was declared and could make this service practically normal within thirty days.

Since the abolition of slavery no
 more effectual means has been de-
 vised for insufing the bondage of the
 working man than the passage of. the
 compulsory investigation acts of the character of the Canadian indutsrial disputes act.
 Tha issue of these two statements was the formal announcement of the final positions of two great forces. The days developments fairly tumbled over one another President | Wilson having heard that the strike had been definitely set for Labor day and anticipating that the brother
 hood heads would reject the latest proposal of the railway presidents, worked practically all night on his address to congress.
 At 20 a. m. the railway presidents Fasked for an audience at the White House and the president received them. Secretary TunIulty. meanwhile, delivered to the brotherhood heads the latest proposal that the men ac- cede to an inK estigation. permit the l interstate commerce commission prac- | tically to impound the pay the men would receive if they won their de- mands. and let the men decide at the 1 end of the investigation whether to strike or arbitrate. It was promptly | refused by the leaders
 The railway presidents then revert ed to the position they assumed at l the outset of the negotiations l President Wilson, realizing that their latest proposal would not he accept | ed by the workers, told the railway executives he was sorry it had been presented and bade them goodbye,
 saving:
 God help you; cannot" 1 The brotherhood heads having knowledge of the presidents propos- al for compulsory investigation an- | Iounced their intention to fight it in congress and if possible to get separ- ate votes on that and the eight hour day proposal which they favor, hop | ing to beat tie former and enact the
 latter into law. Generally they ex- | pressed satisfaction with the presi- | dents address, feeling that it hit the 1 railroads harder than it did them. Although the railway presidents feel that in the face of President Wilson's suggestions for legislation the employees carrot afford to strike, | they have not overlooked any ele-

Final victorv for Allies.

PETROGRAD Aug. 29.-(Via Lon don).-Rumanias entrance into the war is generally interpreted as an omen of final victory for the allies by Russian official circles and the press. The fact that Rumania entered the war only after careful and mature calculations is according to the petrograd news papers, "a satisfactory inc:cation of the growing belief among neutral nations that Germany is a beaten nation, and more particularly that Germany's in fluence in the Balkans is waning"
 The two most immediate effects of Rumania's action will be a union of the western Russian and Macedonian fronts, it is felt here, and a pronounced improvement in General Sarrail's posi- tion, due to the Bulgarian necessity of transferring a large number of troops from the Saloniki theater to meet an attack on the northern boundary.
 Among the more indirect results, ac- cording to press opinion. was it's ef- feet on Greece, where, it is thought the atmosphere of doubt and vacillation will be cleared by Rumania's decision

persist in calling the strike at this time.
 The president expects the public to make known to the brotherhoods its opposition to a strike regardless of the merits of the controversy.
 Meanwhile the railway heads pre- pared themselves for a stike. Orders not to accept perishable freights for shipment already have been issued by many lines. No instructions were is sued to prospective passengers that unless they could complete their jour news before ! a. m. Monday they would risk delays. Many of the railway pres idents left for their headquarters, an nouncing they wished to be near their properties. The managers committee has full authority to deal with the workmen, it was rumored here.
 Both sides issued what appeared to be their last statements to the public in Justification of their acts.
 The railway presidents summarized the important points developed by the,r deliberations as follows:
 "A renewed insistence upon the principle of arbitration as the only proper method of settling labor dis putes. The railroads have given the employees every possible consideration in this respect by offering to arbitrate their differences either through the interstate commerce commission un- der the Newlands act or by a com | mission to be selected by the president of the United States.
 An increased realization of the responsibility of the railroads towards their other employees. the shippers the industrial commercial. and gen eral public. which they have beer
 made to feel by thousands of tele- ] grams insisting upon the maintain fence of their position"
