To Hear Wilson's Plan for Leg
iSIation to Settle the Rail-
road Dispute,
TRAINMEN I'M ENT
Eight Hour Wage Basis Would
Throw Roads into Bank
ruptCy, Hill Decides.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S-Presi-
dent Wilson Wednesday summoned
Senator Newlands and Representa-
tive Adamson, chairmen of the SEN
ate and House commerce commit
tees, to the White House 1t is un-
derstood he planned to discuss with
them legislation on the railroad
strike situation under the presi-
dents plan for settlement of
The railroad dispute, Congress would
create commission to investigate
the working of the eight-hour day
and collateral issues.
The big committee Of Brotherhood
Representatives were inpatient at
the delay but w. G. Lee, head of the
trainmen's brotherhood, expressed
the belief that they would not be
held here later than Thursday. A
statement issued by the employees
committee charged the railroads
with inconsistency in contend
ing for arbitration, though re-
fusing to arbitrate demands
of employees on number Of
minor roads not Represented directly
in the present negotiations but said
to be controlled by the larger lines.
Louis W. Hill, president of the
Great Northern railway and one of
the strongest opponents of the
cight-hour day, declared in state
ment given out Wednesday that
many western railroads in particular
would have scant earnings next year
and that many would be forced into
reccivership by an eight-hour wage
basis.
This is a time when instead OF
being burdened with useless and un-
called for expenses, such as are de-
manded by the brotherhOods, the
railroads should receive every en-
couragement in order to meet the
needs of the country" he said.
-Such an extra burden as is con-
templated by this eight-hOur demand
would not only cut off all possibility
of dividends and extension but
throw number of western rail-
roads into receivership and cripple
their usefulness to the territory they
serve"
An employees meeting Wednesday
morning was thrown into an uproar
by speeches of a minority, which de-
manded immediate action unless the
roads accept the presidents plans,
but the leaders succeeding in ad-
.journing it before any vote could be
taken on any of the various pro-
posals They said afterward that
while the pressure for immediate ac-
tion came from a minority it was
strong, but they believed majority
would be willing to give the presi-
dent a little more time. Some of
them urged that most Of them go
home, leaving the brotherhood heads
with authority to call a strike.
Frequently shouts and applause
were heard a block away from the
hall.
"It sour belief" one of the com
mitteemen said," that the railroads
are playing for time with the presi-
dent just as they have done with US
for many months There is no rea-
son why they should not have given
the president an answer by this time.
They are firing US out all right and
the men are getting disgusted with
the whole situation. think there
are enough cool-headed committee
men here to control the meeting a
day or two longer, but the discomfort
Is spreding rapidly"

For The Big Democratic Rally
On April 22
COUNTY IS ENTHUSIASTIC
Even to Most Remote sections-6and
of Ten Pieces to EnIiven Day
Organization at O'clock;
Gov Cox at 2:15

Reports from all over the county at
the regular meeting Tuesday nigh.
of the temporary organization of the
Knox County Democratic club plainly
showed that the big rally on April %,
when former Governor James NJ. Cox
is the speaker of the day, will be one
of the most mammoth affairs from a
standpoint of attendance ever known
in this community.
From isolated sections of the coun.
ty, where roads are poor and where
means of conveyance are limited, it
was reported that there will be a
good representation. One staunch
Democrat, in far-off Middlebury, is
said to have remarked that, although
he would probably not live to vote
again, his life would at least be ex-
tended until April 20 and he wouldn't
miss the rally for anything in the
world.
From the larger villages in the
county, there will be delegations
which will come in bodies. Demo
cratic chieftains in these places are
making arrangements to have all of
the faith meet at specified places and
march to the trains en- masse.
Authorization was given the music
committee Tuesday night to hire
ten-piece band for the day. This or
ganization will head the monster au-
tomobile parade which will meet for.
mer Governor Cox at the station and
escort him to the armory on the af-
ternoon of the 22nd. The automobiles
in line will be fittingly, but simply
decorated for the occasion. These
are in charge of G. F. Allerding and
E. l.. Parker.
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, a
meeting will be held in the armory
for permanent organization of the
club. At this time, officers will be
chosen and set of bylaws adopted.
Adjournment will then be taken.
~ pdl Will ncAI De
will march to the Pennsylvania sta
tion. Former Governor Cox will be
met and escorted to the armory with
honors. AT 2:15, the former governor
will address the assemblage.
The organization meeting will be
for Democrats alone. The later meet
ing, when Gov. Cox speaks, will be
open to the public. This latter an.
nouncement has been greeted with joy
by the manifold number of discomfort
ed Republicans who have been writh-
ing under the misadministration of
the present incumbent and who re.
alize the splendid record Of the Cox
regime-a record of efficiency,
achievement and progress.
An invitation has been extended
Congressman William A. Ashbrook
and Hon. John F. Kramer, the latter
Of Mansfield, to attend the rally.
