Republican A. 7. Leased wIrel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Personal conferences will be sought by Presi- dent Wilson with representatives of the railroad and their employees if all other efforts fail, to avoid the threat ened strike of the four great railroad union brotherhoods. He is seriously considering making a trip to New York Tor the purpose
 The president talked over the long distance telephone today with mem bers of the federal board of mediation and conciliation in New York and told them if they were unable to bring about an agreement, and a break seem ed imminent, he was to be notified itn- mediately. He hopes it will not be necessary, but as last resort, desires personally to urge upon the parties to controversy the disastrous effect upon themselves and upon the country, which would follow tying up of two hundred and twenty five railroads by a strike.
 Although the president was told early today that the situation was critical. word came tonight that pros poets for an agreement were more favorable and that further conferences would be held in New York tomorrow
 Mir. Wilson remained in his office at the White House throughout the day in order to keen in close touch with the situation. While evidently worried over the situation he has not given up hope that a settlement may be reached. He has taken no stand on the merits of the arguments presented bv either side. but Is understood to be confident that common ground can be found on which the employers and en- ployes can meet
 During the day the president re- ceived a petition from representative of unorganized railroad employees urg- ! ing that congress pass Legislation
 which would prevent the railroad be- ling paralyzed by strike Of the mem | bers of the brotherhoods who. it i' | claimed. represent only twenty pei
 cent of the employees The first peti- tion contained coco names and it wa! said that other larger petitions woult
 come within a few days.

May Try Admiration

NEW YORK. Aug 12.-Notwith standing the failure of mediation to bring together the representatives of the railroads of the country and their 400, 900 employees on the demand of an eight hour day and time and a half for overtime, the threatened strike that would tie up 225 railroad systems and throw 1.SO0000 railroad workers out of employment. may be averted by arbi- traitor. An agreement to this effect may be entered into tomorrow, 1t was predicted here tonight.
 At the end of a day of confusing situations and contradictory reports, the leaders of the four railroad broth erhoods and the members of the United States board of mediation and c nciliation, which is striking to effect a peaceful settlement at the special request of President Wilson, viewed the situation enthusiastically.
 It has been virtually conceded that arbitration under the present provis- ions of the Newland act would not be satisfactory to the men. but an ex- pansion of the Aoard provided for may be accepted by them, with the provis- ion that only their present demands are to be arbitrated. The railroads have maintained that in the event of arbitration, not only the demands Of their employees, but the roads "con- tingent proposition" was based on the eight hour day, but eliminates the doubt that compensation features should be arbitrated.
 Several times during the days ne- gotiations between the mediators and the trainmen, it seemed as if the men were on the point of withdrawing from further barley. When the situation reached a point where 1t was reported President Wilson had intervened. A.

 Captain Leskivit said his ship would leave tomorrow at 9:30 We need no repairs,' he said, everyone is in good health, and we have plenty of coal. Our stay here has been pleasant. The men have enjoyed the brief shore leave which they badly needed"
 Captain Leskivit laughed heartily when told of the report that his cruiser had received a wireless report that the Deutschland had been sunk and said:
 of course we allies would be pleased at such a report if true, but l must insist that it is false. Our vessel received no such report. By our coming in here, we show the world that We travel where we please; that the allied warships can float on waters of the universe, but the German boats must go under the waters"

 The democratic party" the nominee said, has always been a party of op- position to progress. There has not been great national movement in response to a national demand that has not had to run over the prostrate form of the democratic party"

 This administration, in the first in- stance, organized its state department" MT. Hughes said, "so as to reduce it's potency twenty-five per cent in the eyes of the world"

 And it will continue" he said, 'un- til some American executive is willing to take his political life in his hands and come before the American people and say: Here I stand for business like methods of government, come what will until that time comes, we will still have to get along in a hap hazard way.
