"The triangular loss at Ancre does
not affect the Somme battle as q

the whole war has now reached q

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-President
Wilson today was preparing to person
ally enter the great three cornered
light between labor, the railways and
the government, in proposals for the
prevention Of strikes In this country.
Monday he will confer with Judge
Adamson, chairman of the house com
mittee on interstate commerce as to
the completion Of the program he ad-
vanced at the last session Of congress-.
Adamson says this program will be
pushed through Immediately when con-
gross reconvenes in December and
to await the report of the joint congress
sional committee authorized to make
q searching inquiry into the entire
railway problem.
With the railways a unit combating
the constitutionality of the eight hour
law, with labor ready to fight propos-
ais for settlement Of Industrial dis
putes by legislation and with members
of congress widely divided On these
questions, the railway problem threat
ems to seriously embarrass the smooth
operation OF legislative machinery at
this session.
There are as yet four proposals in
the presidents program of strike set
tlement and prevention to be acted up
on il he holds to his original program.
These include:
Provision for enlargement and re-
organization of the Interstate COM
merce commission.
Approval by congress OF a commerce
commission order of increases In
freight rates when justified to meet
Expenditures rendered necessary by
adoption Of the eight hour day.
z An amendment of the existing fed.
eral statute which provides for med
iation, conciliation and arbitration OF
industrial controversies by adding
provision that in case present agen-
cies fail, full public Investigation Of
the merits of every such dispute shall
be Instituted and completed before
strike or lockout may be lawfully at
tempted.
Giving the president power. in case
of military necessity to take control OF
such rolling stock Of the railroads as
may be required for military use and
granting him authority to draft into
military service such train crews and
administrative officials as circumstan-
ces require.
The president is also expected to
urge in his message that all arbitral
awards be made judgments by record
of a court sin order that their interpre-
tation and enforcement may lie. not
with one party to the arbitration, but
with an authoritative and impartial
tribunal
