Lighter Volume Of
Business Is Recorded

New York, Aug. 25-The New York
Evening Sun financial reviey today
says:
On lighter volume of business than
recorded on recent preceding days
prices today moved, as rule within
narrow limits and with great irregu-
larity although at times changes were
distinctly in the direction of higher
levels, particularly in the coppers,
United States Steel and some of the
specialties. Bullish activity however,
was lacking, both Wall Street and the
outside element showing decided
disposition TO limit their operations
pending something definite from Wash
ington regarding the railroad labor
controversy.
On the declines which followed de-
cided early strength in the steel and
copper issues, modest commission house
buying was in evidence. In some in
stances the short interest was material
ly increased in the course of the ses-
sion although as rule traders were
not inclined to make important com
mitments on the bear side for fear of
overnight favorable developments in
Washington. Rails generally were neg
lected, and the motors, especially
were heavy.
In the greater part of the last hour
the general market was heavy, under
moderate selling pressure.

The brotherhood men denied specific
ally that they had been asked by the
president to consider possible legisla-
tion by the present congress.
1.-The situation is just rocking
along" said A. b. Garertson of the
conductors union. There will be no
compromise.
Railway Magnates at Sea.
The several million dollars worth OF
railway presidents who have been work
ing here for several days to prevent the
threatened nationwide railroad strike,
resumed their struggle today with more
desperation than hope shown i'll the at
titude of many of them.
"The situation is less promising than
at any time since negotiations started, -
said one of the most important railway
heads.
Discouragement today grows out of
this problem: How to grant an eight
hour day and make the public-liter-
ally-pay the freight.
The railroad heads want assurance
of u binding character that the in
creased cost of operating the lines will
be met by increased revenues. The best
they have been able to get is President
Wilson s agreement to do "all that is
possible I'm case thorough investiga-
uon shows after the eight hour day
has been put in effect that the railroads
arc in need of relief. Years of operation
already have proved it, the railroad
presidents say.
They insist that the guarantees of
protection against disaster for the roads
must be made part of the establishment
at this time. The future is too uncer-
tain, they say. Wilson's promises, as
one executive expressed il, might not
be worth much to the railroads if some
other candidate were elected in Novem-
Der.
IL WhoOll 10 iNS-SiCtsVus
If the president were reelected, the
executives say, shippers and farm
ers would make a powerful fight
against any legislation tending
to foist upon them the ultl-
mate burden of expense. They
have promised this in few thousand
telegrams to the railroad executives.
This is the new turn in affairs reached
by the executives. The president, they
say, has notified them he can do nothing
in legislative way now, either toward
securing commission for the settle
ment of future labor disputes, or in
the matter Of beneficial legislation to
act as "adequate compensation for
concessions by the roads.
None of the executives, however, has
given up hope that some way out will
be found. But few say the solution can
come through the eight hour day pro-
posal as offered by the president. The
committee Of eight has not at any time
agreed to accept such an eight hour
lay.
President Would See Them.
President Wilson today after con
ference with Vice President Marshall,
sent word to the railway executives
that he would like to see them some
