Hanger of the United States Board Of
Mediation and Cancellation, were to-
day no nearer Solution of the dead
lock" in the dispute between the four
railroad brotherhoods of the country
and their employers than they were
yesterday.
The efforts of the mediators to
avert nation wide strike were vir-
tually at a halt due to the fact it was
reported that the railroads refused
to grant any concession other than
arbitration, while the men persist in
their firm stand for an unequivocal
granting of their demands for an
eight-hour day and time and half
overtime. T..
May Ask Wilson to Act.
A formal request for a twenty-four-
hour delay in. the negotiations was
made by the federal board to the
union men today when they assem-
bled to receive the mediators, and it
was reported that the board, unless
there was an unexpected change in
the situation in that time, was pre-
pared to suggest to President Wilson
that he intervene.
Mr.. Hanger, who asked for the de-
lay, took pains to point out, how
ever, that no particula, significance
had been attached to the sudden
change in their plans.
1T must be remembered" he said,
that the question at issue involves
hundreds OF railroads and thousands
of men and the mediators cannot ar
rive at judicious conclusion as to
the merits in the case until they have
thoroughly assimilated. the situation y
Mr.. Hanger added that the board
expected to cotinue its deliberations
today and might reach decision by
evening as to the time of the next
meeting with one or the other side
in the dispute. a

around in my pocket for any extended
period. 1t is like stick of dyna-

Since its organization in 1913,
through an act of congress and up

sat on forty-seven controversies be-

Wonderful presnmntion.

The Democratic city candidates are
saying:
NElect US and we will annext all the
suburban towns"
What a wonderful conception OF
power!
They as much as say to the resi-
dents OF the suburbs:
''It is none of your business. We
will do as We please and you will have
to come in out of the rain"
Have you seen anything quite SO
presumptuous in years?
The incident is a fair sample Of the
dictatorial attitude they would as
sumo. II elected to Office. and 1t is quite
fair to infer that there would be brazen
disregard OF the peoples will and de-
sires along every line.
The city cannot afford to elect men
TO Office who assume TO do things
without regard to what the people
want or without consulting them as to
what Is wanted.

Tender Rnnnllnntinns.

Passengers on the Baltimore and

meeting OF rare dramatic interest when
Judge Ira Z. Robinson. former presid-

West Virginia. and candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor
Of the state. was greeted by one OF the
train crew. a man named Blake, who
was reared In the same community
with the Judge back in the hills of
northern West Virginia.
The railroad man and the former
chief justice shook hands aftectionate-
~ and settled down to discussing
events of their boyhood days. Blake
inquired about the health OF the noted
jurist's father. who. he said, many
years ago, when he was a small boy

nationwide prominence. Possessing
an engaging and forceful personality,

n brain propnrttonate to his stature,
no man can hear him in one OF his
masterful addresses without feeling
the uplift of new inspirations and
being convinced that he Is of con-
gressinnal dimensions intellectually
and physically. In the one import
ant position to which his state has
called him he has made great rec
ord and has been placed at the head
of the organization of Secretaries OF
1 State in America. He is not involved
in any OF the alleged political con-
