CONGRESS IS LAST
 HOPE STRIKE
President Lays Situation Before That Body. Urging LegislatiOn- Can it PaSs?--Will 1t Stop
 Strike September 4?

Washington Aug. 29.-president Wilson, laying the railroad strike situation before congress today, with recommendation for legisla- tion. advanced the crisis to a stage where the next developments de- pend upon two polnts. They are. whether the legislation he proposes can be passed; if enacted, will it be effective tO prevent a strike already called for n. m., September 42
 Neither of these questions can be answered tonight Brotherhood members themselves annOunDl their intention to fight certain por- ! tons of the presidents program, are at loggerheads over whether it's en- actment would prevent the strike. The railway presidents favorable to President Wilson's plan in the main, think it would make it diffi- f cult for the strike to begin.
 Meanwhile, altho negotiations be- tween the employers and men were ! broken otf today by the rejection of i the railway presidents latest pro- posals for arbitration, President i Wilson is continuing his efforts to bring the two sides together on some form of agreement. I Efforts which might we'll be de- scribed as almost superhuman are being exerted to that end tonight.
 When the brotherhood leaders this morning rejected the latest proposal of the railroads. and de- finitely set the strike for Labor Day without further notice. President Wilson decided to lay the whole sit uation before congress.
 Washington, Aug. 29.-The pro- posals of Resident Wilson made to Congress in his address to the joint session include:
 Empowering president to oper- ate the railways in case of military necessity by drafting the managers and men into the service of the Unit ed States.
 Increase of the Interstate Com merce commission to nine mem bers;
 Eight hours a day for railway em- ployes:
 Empowering the president to in- vestigate the operation of an eight hour day
