employees made concessions and pa
trioticaily accepted the presidents
proposals. The railroad managers
first encouraged the president in his
efforts, then suddenly demanded
more and more until they finally re-
fused any proposition under which
compromise was possible.
The president, having done all that
human being could do, feels that
it is his duty to lay the whole propO-
sition before the representatives OF
all the people in congress. That will
be done at 2:30 o'clock today. The
lines will be sharply drawn in con

mex. ATTITUDE BROAD
Carranza Offers No Restriction
Problems To Be Discussed.

Washington, Aug. 8.-The Carranza
government wants to take up the Dor
der situation first by the proposed
joint international commission but is
willing that other matters should be
discussed later. Eliseo Arredondo 50
outlined the Mexican attitude today to
Acting Secretary Polk who took the
information to the cabinet meeting. 1t
was indicated that state department
officials were satisfied with the sit
uation and the appointment of Amer
lean commissioners might be expected
any time.
Mr.. Arredondo assured Secretary
Polk that General Carranza's state
ment in his last note, that the commits
sioners preferably would discuss the
subject outlined in the original pro-
posal, merely meant that preference
would be given to the border situation
but that other questions were not ex-
GUIDED He said also that he regarded
the last Mexican note as one of COM
plete compliance with American sug-
gestions and it was on that basis Mr..
Polk took the matter to the cabinet.
The ambassadors call was believed
to have cleared away the last obstacle
to appointment of the American COM
missioners and a decision as to the
time and places of conferences. Cen
eral Carranza has already authorized
Mr. Arredondo to arrange details with
Mr. Polk.
