ian contingent of troops landing at
Saloniki is of really important proper
lions, according to information here.
In addition the Temps today alludes
to the presence of Russian troops
along the Vardar river which if con-
firmed would make five allied con-
tingents engaged in the entente cam
paign in the Balkans.
The announcement of the landing of
Italian troops at Saloniki is regarded
here as deeply significant, indicating
ready large enemy of the entente allies
composed mainly of French, British
and Serbian troops. The Italian move
ment also is construed as showing that
comprehensive political agreements
already have been arranged in ad-
vance as hitherto it was understood
that Italy withheld from participation
in the Balkan campaign out of con-
sideration for Greek sensibilities over
the predominance of their influence
/ in the eastern Mediterranean.
The participation of the Italians in
the Balkan campaign also is consid-
cred another evidence of international
spirit prevailing among the allies and
is compared to the sending of the
Russian contingents to France BY
this movement the allies are distribut-
ing their effectives far beyond their
own borders.

President Wilson feels the public is
with him. the executives must-and
will-yield.
There is no doubt, however. that the
roads will stand out to the end for
some concessions.
They want the president to define
strongly and practically some means
for avoiding future trouble. To this
end there have been many sugges-
tions. one of the foremost of which
provides for the creation of an investi-
cation commission; similar to that I'M
der the Canadian disputes act. In the
discussion of adequate compensation"
for yielding the eight-hour day the
railroad executives are expected to
urge the president to recommend some
congressional action to unity control
of railroad operation. They want the
roads placed entirely under federal reg
ulation, eliminating state control. The
executives are now said to be con-
WINGED that they can get rate increases
from the interstate commerce commits
sion and with this one of their princi-
pal objections has been removed.
Hill Not Insurgent.
Talk of violent individual opposi-
ton to any general acquiescence to
President Wilson's proposal was quiet
ed by Louis W. Hill. of the Hill lines,
who denied he had insurged against
the others.
I'm in agreement with everybody"
he said today.
Incidentally he and others proved
not to be moved by President Wilson'S
plea for peace in view of the need for
moving crops and general supplies
both for this country and foreign ma
tions.
THE crop in our country is very
short" Hill said. They're not even
cutting it, much less moving it. A
strike would not affect us as it would
eastern roads. We actually have four
thousand or five thousand cars idle.
The only lines seriously affected would
be those around Pittsburg, transport
ing steel and iron"
Turning Point Today.
The last word on the negotiations
will be said by the managers commit
tee. The executives after comforting
together, were to call on the presi-
dent, explain the decision reached and
tell him they would confer with the
managers committee. This committee
was to formulate the final decision.
Therefore, it appears the turning
point in negotiations might be rea ched
today.

gineer on the run mentioned should
work twelve hours, he would be paid
1891, an increase of s27S over the
amount he is paid for the same work
at the present time, which is equiva-
lent to 46 per cent increase.
1t will be seen from these figures
that the presidents proposition means
a large increased expense to the rail-
roads, and it is not surprising that
the presidents and managers have de-
clined to accept that proposition.
which leaves for further consideration
by arbitrators the question of whether
time and O1e-hal1 shall in addition be
paid for all time over eight hours.
One question which the railroads in
their negotiations have put to the men
is whether they would be willing to
give a fuli-eight hour day for eight
hours pay. 1t would put train SER
vice employees on the same footing as
all mechanics instead of continuing
the "so-called" eight-hour day, which,
in fact, is for the purpose of fixing
compensation only and does not stipu-
late the exact time each man must
work Der day

what he termed the immobile opln-
ion" of the railroad powers. 1t is now
known that the b. & o. and the
Southern railway executives are ready
to make concessions and President

whose hands Louis w. Hill has placed
power for negotiating for the Hill
lines. is opposed to unequlvocaliy re-

ON the other hand, early this morn
ing the Pennsylvania and the New
Central were holding out strong
against Welding the point of arbitra-
ton. A majority of the great systems
appeared to be with them.
Thruout the night kilograms Kept
pouring into the headquarters of the
executives and managers-appeals
from merchants and manufacturing
organizations in all the big cities of
the country-urging the chiefs to
stand pat on arbitration.
Our of today's situation belief grows
that the roads will yield in the end.
Employees Are Optimistic.
The employees had a brief meeting
his morning and found themselves at
1 loss to size up the situation accurate
ly, tho inclined to optimism.
Their meeting adjourned until
O'Clock
meantime many of them VISITED the
capitol as the guests OF Vice PRESIDENT

Al 10 o'clock this morning the men
went into a meeting which was at
tended by the leaders of all four
hrotherhoods No special purpose was
attached to it and the leaders said 1t
was lust to keep the men together.
A statement in reply to the argu-
rnents of the railroad executives on
the question of arbitration was being
prepared by the leaders and probably
will be issued for publication tomor-
row. The brotherhood officials de-
scribed the situation as unchanged.
The railroad executives made formal
announcement that consideration OF
situation had been turned over to a
committee Of eight and that no con-
illusions had been reached.
The following were announced as
members of the committee, which will
work on President Wilson's proposal
and make a report to the assembled
executives: Hale Holden, Burlington;

said the executives would stick to thC
