Upon reaching the White House they
informed the President frankly that the
men did not believe the raliroad heads
were giving them square deal" They
pointed to the long delays that have en-
sued since the arrival of the commit

as a climax to their arguments, pro-
duced numerous so-called 'back-fire"
kilograms which they averred railroad
heads were sending out urging their
agents to have citizens wire the Presi-
dent at the railroads expense, urging
him to stand firm for arbitration of the
differences. Their ultimatum followed.
The President is said to have replied
that he knew of the kilograms and to
have been plainly displeased. The pos
sibility of a strike was discussed, 1t is
understood, and the men left the White
House greatly pleased with their recep-
ton. but extremely pessimistc over the
outlook
The men declined to discuss any Phase
of the situation, although one or two of
them intimated that they had been given
no details as to the negotiations at the
White House At their hotels they no
longer stood in groups about the Hobbies,
and hints were dropped guardedly that
they would not have use for their
reservations after tomorrow night.

to one of the roads agents. Besides
urging the agent to have citizens tele-
graph the President in favor of arbitra-

kilograms would be taken from the sta
ton money and charged to the rail-
roads account.
Later A. B. Garretson produced tele-
gram from one of the brotherhood men
in Grand Forks, N D., which he said
declared Great Northern agent there
had received instructions not only to OBJ
tain "back-fire' messages, but also to
urge upon prospective signers that arbi-
traton not only would mean defeat Of

in freight rates.

Fishing Alone

From Outing.
When you're real bearishly hungry for
a good square meal of brook trout, you'll
find that the surest way to satisfy that
hunger is to go a-stream alone or else
with only one other experienced angler.
We refer to the fishing of the average
sized stream. TOO many cooks spoil the
broth" And too many fishermen on SUCH
a stream at one time spoil the fishing.
The reasons are many.

DETERMINED QUARTET

1t was a determined quartet from the
brotherhoods that visited the President
today to deliver their ultimatum. On
Wednesday evidence of unrest among the
committee of GAO became SO apparent that
their leaders considered the situation
grave, and it required their best efforts
to prevent vote on proposal to with
draw from the negotiations Immediately.
Reports of this situation stirred the
White House to such an extent that

mediation and arbitration, was sent
to the brotherhood heads by the President
to urge them to restrain their men from
taking any hasty step which might wreck
all chances of an amicable settlement
The judge is said to have told the men
previously that an ansewr from the rail-
road heads probably would be forthcom-
ing by last night or today at the latest.

time, but today when no answer came,
the insurrection broke out anew. Then

ATTACKING AT ST. MIHIEL
The usual period of comparative in
activity has followed the western front
gains reported by Paris and London,
and partially confirmed by Berlin. The
Germans have, however, attempted
new blow at the French at the point
of the famous ST. Mihiel salient This
salient juts far into the French line

scene of some of the bloodiest fight
