Washington, Aug. 81. - President
Wilson, laying the railway strike stu.
alton before Congress with recommen-
dations for legislation, advanced tho
crisis to stage where the next de-.
velcpments depend upon two points.
They are:
Whether the legislation he proposes

II enacted, will it be effective to pre-
vent a strike already called for seven

Employees to Fight Program.
Neither Of these questions could be
answered.
The brotherhood heads themselves.
announcing their intention to fight
certain portions Of the presidents pro.
gram. are at loggerheads over wheth.
er 1ts enactment would prevent the
strike.
The railway presidents favorable to
President Wilson's plan in the main,
think it would make it difficult for
the strike to begin.
Wilson Continues Efforts.
Meanwhile, although negotiations be-
tween the employers and men were
broken off Tuesday by the rejection
OF the railway presidents latest pro-
posal for arbitration, President Wilson
Is continuing his efforts to bring the

Approval Of Rate Increase
Fourth Explicit approval by the
Interstate commerce commission of an
increase Of freight rates to meet such
additional expenditures by the rail-
sary by the adoption of the eight hour

Asks Greater Powers.
And, sixth, the Judgement in the

troll Of such portions and such rolling
stock of the railways Of the country as
may be required for military use and
with authority to draft into the mill
tary service Of the United States such
Train crews and administrative officials
as the circumstances require for their
safe and effective service
ms last suggestion I make because
we cannot in any circumstances suffer
the nation to be hampered in the essen
tial matter of national defense. At the
present moment, circumstances render
this duty particularly obvious. Almost
the entire military force of the nation
is stationed upon the Mexican border
to guard our territory against hostile
raids: 1t must be supplied and steadily
supplied, with whatever it needs for it's
need be for purposes of national de-
tense to transfer any portion of it
upon snort notice to some other part
q OF the country, TOR reasons now un-
tion must be available and available
without delay. The, power conferred
IN this matter should be carefully and
tary necessity, but in all such cases it
should be clear and ample.
"We Need These Laws Now"
There is one other thing we should
40 IT we are true champions of arbitra-
ton. We should make all arbitration
law in order that their Interpretation
and enforcement may lie, not with one
Of the parties to the arbitration, but
tribunal.
"These things urge upon you, not
IN haste or merely as a means Of meet
ing a present emergency, but as per-
law of the land, suggested, indeed, by
circumstances we had hoped never to
see. but imperative as We'll as just. If
such emergencies are to be prevented
in the future. I feel that no extended
argument is necessary to commend
them to your favorable consideration.
They demonstrate themselves. The
time and the occasion only give en-
phasis to their Importance We need
them now and we will continue to
need them"

London, Aug. 31.-King Ferdinand
Of Roumania has ordered a general
mobilization Of his forces and is re-
ported to have gone to the front per-
sonally to take command of his army.
The Roumanlans are reported to be-
making furious efforts to capture pass
es in the eastern Carpathians leading
into Hungary, and are declared to be-
lighting shoulder to shoulder with Rus
sian troops coming from Bukowina.
Austrians Forced to Retire.
While Berlin says that Roumania's
attempts to pierce the passes have
been futile, Vienna admits that owing
to a "Far-reachfng encircling move
ment by strong Roumanian forces,
Austrian advance attachments have
been forced to withdraw"
What Greeces attitude will be as T.
result OF Roumania's joining the AL
lies is still problematical, but unoffi~
clal advices to London express the be-
lief that she soon will join the Allies
too. A pro-Ally demonstration in Ath-

mand that Greece join the Allies I'VE

Greek Feeling Intensified.
Occupation by the Bulgarians OF
Kavala, is declared to have intensified
the feeling of the Greeks, who are
said to be willing to follow former
Premier Venizelos in any action he
may advise.
None of the belligerents claims any
great battles. An attempt by the Ger
mans to approach British trenches
near Pozieres stopped by the British,
was the only move made by the in
fantry on the British lines.
