United States informed of affairs in Washington.
 WI Fight Law In Congress.
 The railroads will do everything in their power to block in Congress the passage of an eight-hour day law. In any event the railway heads do not believe that Congress can take any action in time to halt the strike. They feel that it would take at least d month to get any such fundameEal legislation as the eight-hour day law through both houses. They think the best thing Congress can do is to adopt the proposed law under which the strike would be unlawful while an investigation is in progress. They argue that the rest of the program could be thFeshed out laer, but that proposal Mo- would stop the strike scheduled for next Monday if passed tomorrow or the. next day.
 Before the railway presidents part ed they held a final meeting, after which they issued a statement, in which they said:
 '"The situation created through the issuance of the strike order by the VI olACA hOOOS Ild hc IL H0CeSSSaIy CnaI the railroad executives return to their homes to protect their properties in the emergency impending; as con- sequence they are planning for an early departure.
 "In leaving Washington they are unanimous in their expression of sat- isfaction with the results of their con- ference so far as the position of the railroads Is concerned. Briefly sum- marked the important points devel- oped by their deliberations here are:
 "First-A renewed insistence upon the principle of arbitration as the only proper method of settling labor dis putes. The railroads have given the employees every possible consideration in this respect, by offering to arbitrate their differences either through the Interstate Commerce Commission, un- der the Newland act, or by a com mission to be selected by the Presi- dent of the United States.
 ''Second-An increased realization of the responsibility of the railroads toward their other employees, the ship pers. the industrial, commercial, and general public, which they have been made to feel by thousands of tele- grams insisting upon the maintenance of their position.

BOTH SIDES PREPARE FOR BIG STRIKE AS CONGRESS
 BEGINS NEW LEGISLATION

Members of Congress were not fully agree on methods, but they were rep resented \as in entire accord with the purpose of the. President to prevent In some way threatened tieup. Some measures to he agreed on probably will be attached to the bill pending in the Senate to increase membership in the interstate commerce commission from seven to nine.
 The eight hour law for interstate railroad traffic suggested by the Pres- tdent is not entirely agreeable to the bfotherhoods, for they want with the eight hour day ten hours pay and Congress has no authority to prescribe wages. The employees expec. the prin- cipal fight against this to be made by the railroads, however.
 The proposal for investigation by a presidential commission is welcomed by the railroads but not by the. men.
 The suggestion that Congress em- power the interstate commerce con- mission to grant higher rates as fe- colnpense for increased wages is f-owneid on by the railroads in the be- lief that shippers would object and the good will of these interests would be lost
 The most violent objection of the brotherhoods is to the proposed law for investigation of future labor dis putes and the prohibition of strikes or lockouts during the investigation i; railroad executives favor this meas ure.
 Many legislators believe the Presi- dents recommendation of a law au- thorizing forced governmental opera tion of certain roads for military req sons is superfluous; they insits that the other action contemplated would fOrestall the strike itself

Gov. Johnson Wins G. O. P. Nomination
 For U. $. Senator

San Francisco, Aug. 30-On the face of returns early today from about half the precincts in the state, Governor Hiram W. Johnson won the Republican nomination for United States Senator over Willis H. Booth, at yesterdays primary. Out of a to- tai of 5,443 precincts, 2,759 gave Booth 75,353; Johnson 92,552. The campaign attracted wide interest be- cause Chester H. Rowell, of Fresno, a member of the Republican National campaign committee, protested to the committee and to Charles E. Hughes, Republican nominee for President. that the forces of the Republican state central committee were aligned openly, although not officially, be- hind MT. Booth, a Los Angeles busi- nessman.

ALMOST MARTIAL LAW IN N. '. IF
 BIG STRIKE HITS

New York, Aug. 30-Railroad traf- fife both to and from New York City showed feverish activity today in an ticipation of a general strike. It is estimated that before September 4, the day of the threatened tie-up, this city will rid itself of a floating popu- lation of nearly three hundred and fifty thousand and receive home about the same number of residents who have been on vacations. Passenger traffic just before Labor Day is al ways heavy under normal circum- stances.
 Unless the situation changes radi- cally it is expected that the other eastern railroads will follow the ex- ample of the New York, New Haven & Hartford and declare a freight em- bargo to take effect September 4. The management of the New York Gen. trai will consider this question today upon the return of President A. H. Smith from Washington
 Railroad executives here express ed hope today that if a strike were called they would run enough food trains to keep the city from priva- tons The big milk companies have been organizing to meet the situation ever since the strike became immnet Drivers of milk wagons have been in- structed to make a census of the ba- bies on their routes and they will be attended to first The milk compa- nies have arranged to obtain hundreds of motor trucks which will be used to collect milk from thetterritory sur rounding New York if the regular milk train service fails.
 New York consumes 2,500,00C quarts of milk a day and it estimated that 25 per cent of this goes to babies and another 25 per cent to children who'd epend largely on milk for food.
 The police department it was an- nounced today, is prepared, if need the food and fuel supply. For this purpose it has made a canvass to as- certain the stock of foodstuffs now available here and 1t has a list of all motor trucks and other vehicles that can be used to carry freight and o1 lighters, towboats and other vessels that can be pressed into service ir the waters surrounding the city.
 In the wholesale grocery and com- ed that restaurants, hotels and board ing houses were beginning to lay ir huge stocks of food Wholesale gro- cers are not disposed to agree with the prediction that in the event of a railroad tie-up there would be a food famine in a week.

Washington, Aug. 90. - Congress went to work under pressure today to prevent by legislation the railway strike called for next Monday. It was not assured that, even If measures proposed by President Wilson in his address yesterday can be passed in the five days remaining, they would be effective in forestalling the walk out.
 In general brotherhood leaders in- tended to fight the legislative program and railway mana gements expected to support it, but both sides laid plans for the strike quite as if its coming were beyond all doubt.
 President Wilson still hoped the brotherhood leaders now in Washing ton would find means of resembling the strike order which they maintain has gone beyond their jurisdiction.
 There was no unanimity of opinion among them as to whether the sug- gested measure to. forbid a st.ike pending investigation by a public commission, if passed and made eff fective before next Monday. could ap- ply validly to the present situation. Railway executives believed, however, that the legislation would force a sus- pension of action. While the govern ment machinery was humming today with strike plans there poured in from all sections of the country reports that railroads were declaring embargoes on perishable stuff, refusing to accept freight with guarantees of prompt de- livery and warning against passenger travel extending past a. m. Mon day, the hour set for the strike. These reports gave a hint f rigors which might be expected from general strike.
