WILSON HURRIES TO
CAPITOL ON STRIKE
BY Associated Press

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 26.-With
negotiations for averting the threat
ened railway strike practically at dead
lock, President Wilson to-day suddenly
went to the Capitol and conferred with
administration leaders over the possi-
bility of legislation.
The President conferred first with
Democratic Leader Kern and Chair
man Newlands, of the interstate COM
mercc committee, who, ii was under
stood, after a canvass of the congress
sional situation, had concluded it was
feasible TO get through Congress be-
fore adjournment as an amendment to
the pending bill to increase the men,
bership of the Interstate Commerce
Commission some sort of an express
sion that the railways should be au-
torized to make rate increases to
meet higher wages and to provide
some sort of machinery for arbitration
for similar disputes in the future, pos
sibly along the lines of the Canadian
commission.
When he finished comforting with
Senators Kern and Newlands, Presi-
dent Wilson came to the door of his
room and said to inquirers:
II came here on certain matters of
legislation. That is all can say now"
Then after making the foregoing
announcement President Wilson re-
tuTIleO 10 IAe NFnJc House without
comforting with anyone else and with
out making any further explanation
of his visit. Senator Ncwlands stated
positively that no Joint session of Con-
gfesS had been arranged.
Executives Adjourn
Late this afternoon the railroad ex-
ecutlves adjourned without having fin
ished their statement to President Will
son and their attitude was announced
as unchanged.
Just before the President went to
the Capitol the brotherhood leaders,
impatient at teh delay of the railroad
executives in replying to the Presi-
dents last proposal, declared that only
the unqualified concession of the eight
hour day or some action by Congress
to cause the government to operate
the railroads could prevent the threat
ened strike.
On all hands the Presidents visit
to the capitol was taken as indicat-
ing that the situation had reached a
crisis. Lite this afternoon the rail-
way executives still were working on
their communication to President
Wilson.
Among the railway executives it
was said that any plan for legislation
suggested by the President would have
to be considered, but that the in
clination of the railway heads was to
stand solidly on their demand for arbi-
tration of the present dispute.

Omaha May Still
Get Fair Freight
Rates from Roads

Maybe the freight rates in Ne
braska will eventually be adjusted
after all, so that Omaha will not get
so much the worst of it.
In the temporary readjustment to
20 into effect October rs. which date
set by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, Omaha is to be at a disad-
vantage as compared with Lincoln,
Sioux City, Fremont, and some other
localities in competition for Nebraska
business in certain sections OF the
state.
At the last meeting of the govern.
ing committee of the traffic bureau OF
the Commercial club, however, it was
pointed out that this disadvantage
may not be permanent 1t was re-
ported there that in all the ,negotia-
tons that have been had with the rail-
roads, the assurances have been given
to the effect that the interests of
Omaha would be cared for fully in the
permanent adjustment to follow the
temporary adjustment. made immed-
lately necessary by the order of the
Interstate Commerce commission.
1t is the straight distance scale
going into effect October Is that is
looked upon as detrimental to Omaha.
An equalization scale is what Omaha
wanted, and still hopes to get, =.
The whole matter is left in the
hands of Manager E. ]. McVann OF
the traffic bureau.

BANKS SHOW GREAT
GAIN IN DEPOSITS
Comptroller's Call Shows $780,.
100000 More in Local In
stitutions Than Year Ago.
TOTAL A HUNDRED MILLION

Deposits in Omaha banks are just
$30,00O,O0O greater today than they
were one year ago.
This wonderful increase in bank
deposits is n ade known through the
call OF the United States comptroller
for September II.
The total deposits in the Omaha
banks on September II were $4,000
600. On September 2, when the
comptroller issued his fall call in
1915, the total deposits were $o4,000,-
600.
Bank deposits today are, in addi-
ton, $lS,000,000 greater than they
were oh the day of the last comp
troller's call, June 80 this year.
Bankers attribute this enormous
gain to two things. One, of course,
is the wonderful growth of Omaha
and the accompanying growth in busi-
ness. The other is that banks are
holding onto their cash in anticipa-
ton of requests for money from coun-
try banks, which always receive heavy
demands for loans just before the
feeder cattle market "opens.
Loans also showed gains over a
year ago and the last call, indicating
an increased business activity in Oma-
ha and the tributary territory.
Comparative figures on the deposits
and loans follow:
