 The President declared he he'ieved in the principle of the eight hour day and that he thought the greater part of the people of the United States held a similar view. He also sought to impress on the men that he knew what it meant to work for a living. He said he had learned early in life the trials of making both ends meet.
 Regarding the collateral issues. the President admitted that he was at a loss to say how they had been set other problems were left to him. he said he would have to ask for a com mission 0 help him decide what would be fair.
 At the conclusion of the President's s talk the four brotherhood heads ques- toned him in order to bring out all the points for the benefit of the mem bers of the general commission who have not been at the previous White House conferences.
 If the men desired, the President said. just before they left, they could remain in the room in which they had assembled and decide whether they would approve or reject his proposition.

WASHINGTON. Aug IT, Admin istratiOn snate leaders. confronted by the determination of Senator Owen to press his corrupt practices bi'l at this session of congress, made an agreement with the Republicans today which they believe will clear way for passage of the shipping and reve- nue bills. now temporarily Blocked.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The con- ference tonight. between the railload presidents and the managers com mittee. developed further indications that the managers were to be hacked up by their chiefs in the attitude they had adopted toward the Presidents proposal.
 We have gone over the situation thoroughly" said one of the presidents as he left the conference, and we agree thoroughly in every particular with what the committee has done"
 The general expectation is that the railroad officials, after seeing the President tomorrow, will ask that they be given several days, perhaps a week or more, to consider their course. It was emphasized by those of the officials who arrived tonight, however that all of these plans were tentative.
 Two plans are being considered for the make up of the proposed commis- sion in case the Presidents plan is accepted. The first provides r>r the appointment of all three members if that should be the size of the com mission, by the President. and the other for selection of one of the mem- bers by him and the other two by the railroad employers and employees respectives. The plan was presented by the President to the employees and

 It is proposed that the commission be given power to summon witnesses and examine them in order to arrive at the true cost of the proposed plan to the railroads. Suggestions have been made that the commission be made permanent
 The conference between the Pres ident ant general committee of em- ployes lasted about an hour. After the members of the committee had assembled in the east room they were introduced to the President by A. B. Garretson, their spokesman. In a short speech, NIT. GarretsOn point ed out that the Presidents position in selecting representatives ol large number of working men to the White House without others present for a discussion of a labor problem stood unparalleled. The employees remained undemonstrative during the remarks of Mir. Garretson and the President. At the conclusion of the meeting they formed in line and shook hands with MT. Wilson. Many smiled broadly as they left the White House. In his talk to the men. the President ex- plained his feeling that a strike must be averted at any cost because Of the disastrous effect on the country. He then said that after reviewing the

Senate Finance Committee Recommends Such an Expe- dient to the Whole Body. Treasury Department Be- hind Plan.
GREAT EXPENDITURE
 MAGISTRATES MONEY
Such an Amount Will Only Carry the Mexican Situation up to January l, at Rate of Present Expense of Affair.
(By Review Leased Wire)

i WASHINGTON, Aug. IA bond issue of S130.0OO.O 900 to meet extraor- dinary government expenditures due to the Mexican situation was unex- pectedly recommended to Congress tonight by majority members of the senate finance committee with the concurrence of the treasury depart ment.
 The bond issue is urged in the re- port of the finance committee Demo crats filed in the senate today on the $205, ,000,00 revenue bill. In addition to the proposed issue and the revenue bill the finance committee asserts tha: further appropria,iGA Of SS5.000.0J0 would be necessary odeffray the ex- pense of the operations in the Mexi- can emergency if conditions on the border continue as they are now aft CT December 31. 1916. The S130.O Q 900 to be provided by the proposed bond issue, the report says, will mee, Mexican expenditures only until to the end of this calendar year.
 Accompanying the finance commit tee majority's report submitted by Senator Simmons was a general state ment from the treasury department estimating disbursements for the ifs cal years 1917 at S1.126. .OOO, 900 and re ceipts $762. 100000.
 The total appropriations for the fiscal year 1917. exclusive of those carried in the so-called shipping bill, which is to be defrayed by the issu- ance of Panama bonds will exceed the appropriations for the fiscal year 1916 by about s469,000. 0.000." said the report. This increase is represented principally by s167 900. 900 additional appropriated for the navy, Sl66,000.- 000 additional amount appropriated for the army. S20.O0O,0O0 additional amount appropriated for Qualifications si1 900 COG for deficiency apprOpria- tions-about $35.O06.000 of which is due to the Mexican situation and in creased requirements of the army and navy-and 0,O00.OO0 for a nitrate plant. which is preparedness appro- priation. The increase in the appro- priations for the fiscal year. other than for these extraordinary purposes is not beyond the normal increase.
 But for the additional expenditures made necessary to defray the cost of nrenaredness. the increased revenue to be raised by this bill would not be necessary and the estimated re ceipts under the present law would be considerably in excess of the esti- mated disbursements for the fiscal year 1917. In this connection atten- tionis called to the fact that S21.0O0.- GOO of the normal increase for the present fiscal year represents the amount appropriated for rural credits and good roads,

WITH THE RUSSIAN ARMIES ON THE CENTRAL RUSSIAN FONT. Tuesday, Aug. b, via Petrograd to London, Aug. 1.-The continued sue cesses of General Brussiloffs two ar mics which gradually are enveloping Novel and Lemberg. have be- gun to have marked effect on the situation in the central portion of the front, which except for some small Russian gains in the lake region south of Dvinsk, has remained virtu- ally unaltered since the Russians fell back last autumn to the line from Dviask to Pinsk marshes. The Aus trian line now has receded so far be- fore the repeated thrUsts of the south westrn Russian forces in southern Po- land and Galicia that the Germans are in danger of flanking movement from the south and the automatic re- tirement of the forces opposed to the Russian center.
 Notwithstanding the desultory bursts of activity at various points, Russian officers say there are many , indications that the Germans are pre- pared to abandon their present line on this part of the front at any mo- ment
 The correspondent of the Associat- ed Press made a weeks tour along the front commanded by General Alex Evert, from Lake Narocz to the region of Baranovichi. and found the Rus sian soldiers most anxious for an op- portunity to advance as soon as the command is given. The armies com manded by General Evert which are the same when crippled by shortage of ammunitions and supplies. were forced to surrender a large part of Poland year ago. Commanders who brought back only broken remnants of their divisions to the present posi- tions. now are in charge of splendidly equipped units. The men share with their officers the determination to cap ture the Germans in Poland and Ga licia.
 The soldiers seem to be plentifully supplied with wholesome food and are living under the best sanitary condi- tions. They are surrounded by com forts and conveniences comparable with those at home in peace times.
 German Attacks Repulsed.
 For the first time in weeks no change of importance was reported in any theatre of the war Thursday The most violent fighting took place on the western end of the British sa lient on the SOmme. Six times the Germans advanced in force in a des- Derate effort to bend back the British lines northwest of Pozieres. London reports that all of these assaults were repulsed with heavy losses and that the British in turn captured about

Washington, June 17.-Confirmation of General Trevino's warning that any movement Of American troops in Mexico except toward the border would be treated by the Carranza commanders as a hostile act reached the war department late today. Secretary Baker declined to con- ment or to make public General Tre- who's message or the reply of General Pershing refusing to recognize authority of the Carranza generals over the Ameri- can expedition.
 While it was apparent that General Pershing's reply would be backed up by officials here, it was not indicated what further action the Washington govern ment might take. Secretary Baker took the text of General Trevno's ultimatum to the White House and conferred with the President. It was understood that after studying the note the President ing reported fighting today in the Browns vile district before he determined upon a course.
 Tonight the war department had re- ceived no report on the developments at Brownsville. Officials said that if Car ranza troops had made any attack on American attachments following hot trails over the line, the Americans un- doub btedly would withdraw to the Ameri- can side and entrench to repel any at tempt to follow them.
