tive session yesterday afternoon TO
discuss a difference between the COM
pany IN regard TO the weighing scales.
The miners claim the scales do not

The eight hour day already is in ef-
feet on some roads. and that officials
DIN those roads have stated they would
not change hack to the ten hour day.
The President sought to find tho
basis for The opposition Of the rail
roads to the eight hour, day. asking
whether the managers did not believe
il inevitable at this time. The mana
gers were firm however in their oprn'
sition to its adoption unless other

Representatives Of both sides were
told by The President that he would
continue tn do his utmost IN discover

their duty 10 cooperate. Without
minimizing the difficulties in the way
OF solution. he sought To empress
on them that break could be avoid.
ed only by mutual concessions.

suggested that a way ont might be
found by the railroads accepting tho
principal of the eight hour day, and

but that they would moi commit them

situation began AT the White House

almost continuously until five o'clock

ROADS ARE
CAR SHOR1 I
Lumber M lis it Seems, Will Be
Forced to Shut Dow"
Soon.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21-Railroads
CT the United States are suffering
from the greatest shortage of cars
ever experienced at this time of the
year, accord ng to figures made pub
lie here. On Sept. 80 there was a
net shortage of $1,000 cars. This
compares with surplus of 131 ,027
cars on Oct 1, 1914, and of rs, ,299
on the corresponding date last year
The greatest shortage is in box
cars, totaling 33.016, while coal and
gondola cars are lacking to the eX-
tent of 1882. The greatest shortage
of bCX cars is in granger states
while the lack of coal and gondola
cars IS felt most severely in the cen
tral and eastern sections. Railway
men say the high point Of the short
age will be reached some time next
month and that mild weather would
tend to minimize the difficulty.

REMAIN TWO

Those a c mp Harris Have Been
D sappointed About Start
For Border.

That same old story of day long
er at Camp Harris had become stale
and for a change ii is now stated in
the letters received here from local
members of the Brunswick Riflemen
that the latest is two days" and.
while they have been getting these
reports for many days. it is really be
lieycd that Camp Harris will have
a different appearance when the sun
goes up Tuesday morning, as there is
l'ttle doubt now but that the latest
report will be true.
1t will be remembered when nearly
all the state papers said the troops
would Cntrain last Thursday the
News stated that it would be Satur-
day If then, aud this shows that the
source of information was the right
one But it now locks like the troops
will really leave Macon tomorrow.
