URGED MANAGERS

continue discussion of President Will
son 8 proposals looking toward peace.
An outstanding feature of the gather
ing of railway presidents today was
that there appeared no organized plan
afoot to meet the situation created by
the president IS firm refusal to recede
from his demands on them.
Up to the Railroads.
Their tentative plan was to have the
new group of presidents coming in to-
day see the president separately and
hear from him the same argument they
heard Saturday. They anticipated, too,
that still other railway executives may
be called to Washington by the presi'
dent, they said.
For their part, the brotherhood rep
resentatives, through A. B. GarertsOn,
made it known today that they do not
intend to deviate from the president Is
plan.
Answering persistent suggestions that
the executive will offer compromise
solution, Garretson told the United
Press:
"The president has announced what
he regards fair plan Of settlement. If
there is to be any deviation, it will not
be from our side. +"
Upon the final decision of the rail
road executives and the final action
taken by the president it would appear
from Garretson s statement, depends
whether that the thousands of mills are
likely to stop, cities face food and fuel
shortages and the entire country be-
come prostrated before what it is be-
lieved would be the greatest struggle
between capital and labor in history.
Various cities have estimated they
would face food and fuel shortages
within a week after a general transpor-
tation tie-up.
Loss to producers of perishable and
semi-perishable commodities would. be
so great that approximation is simply
impossible, it was said at the depart
ment of agriculture today.
Beyond Comprehension.
"Any computation Of figures, how
ever conservative, would be so enormous
that the average citizen could not com
prehend it, said G. C. White, acting
chief of the office of markets of the
department today.
A strike within the next few weeks,
even if it lasted less than a week, ac-
cording to White, would work an almost

the millions would rot in the fields or

stop.
Very few cities, according to Chief
White, have sufficient commodities
and delicacies Of this kind to last more
than few weeks at most.
Pittsburg, he said, is typical case.
The territory within 100 miles of the
smokey city doesn't produce two per
cent of the amount used there. Within
two or three days such commodities
would be used up. 1t would be out of
the question, White believes, to relieve
the situation with horse drawn or motor
prOpell vehicles.
Hundreds of cities" said White,

in some localities"

White declared industrial plants in

"At this time some 100000 bushels

And instantly. as they had ten years
before, Barbara Allison's eyes swung
in instant scrutiny of the one who was
seated at Calebs feet. She hesitated
and recovered herself. But when with
quite dignified deliberation she finally
came forward to pass that motionless
figure upon the steps every pulse in
her body was beating consciousness of
his nearness. And yet at that when
she paused at Caleb's side and bobbed
her head with characteristic impet

GOOD WORK DONE

Volga Tribune: The work that has
been done on the south road to Brook
ings the past few weeks is the kind of
road work that counts. The ap
proaches to the bridges have been
raised, widened and put in excellent
shape. The approaches to the river
bridge, particularly, have been greatly
improved. A spillway has been con-
structed along the government mile"
and 1t is now believed that whenever
there is a food from the north the
water will pass over the road and not
wash out the grade as has happened
frequently in past years. The road
close to Brookings still needs consider
able work, but as the crew is working
east, that part of the road will be put
In good shape before winter. This
week the new county grader for this
district arrived and Commissioner Hal

north and south roads east Of this city.
