Feeling is Growing That a
Satisfactory Agreement
Cannot Be Reached.
TO HOLD FINAL
CONFERENCE TODAY
Now Seems Virtually Ger
tain That This Will Be
Followed by Break.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Tentative
plans for a joint session of congress
to hear Wilson ask for legislation to
prevent the railroad strike were dis
cussed by the president with Senator
Kern, the Democratic leader, tonight.
It seemed virtually certain tonight
that a break between the railroads
and their employees must follow the
final conference at the White House
tomorrow.
President Wilson talked over the
situation with Senator Newlands, of
the interstate commerce committee,
and Secretary Lane during the day
and tonight made a quiet trip to SEN
ate offices to find Senator Kern who
was attending a meeting of the SEN
ate finance committee.
Since last night the feeling has
been growing that the railroads and
men could not agree. This feeling
was strengthened today when mem
bers of the brotherhood committee of
$40 departed for home, leaving a dele
cation of twenty-four instructed
under no circumstances to agree to
arbitration of the demand for an
eight hour day at the present rate
of pay of ten hours.
Unless the railroads recede from
their demands for arbitration of the
eight hour day one Of the brother
hood heads said tonight a strike af-
fecting more than 100000 men VIII
be called within ten days. The men
have made all plans for calling a
strike and are now awaiting tomor-
rows developments. The mems de-
termination was reached after strenu-
Gus session today.
It is reported here that the presi-
dent might ask the men to wait in
order that legislation be passed eff
fecting a settlement without tying uT
the nations transportation system.

PLANS SLOW
TO ADJOURN
Crisis in Railroad Situation
is Principal Obstacle En-
countered by Congress.
by ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Plans for
the adjournment of congress next Fri
day are not maturing as rapidly nor
as certainly as the majority leaders
cooperating with the minority chief
tains had contemplated. The crisis
in the railroad situation was the prin
cipal obatacle encountered at the
eleventh hour and no one tonight
would predict when the long and
arduous session would end.
The senate has begun the fnal
drive on the emergency revenue bill
and will continue the consideration of
amendments tomorrow. Senator IN
derwood, whose revolt against the In
come tax provision was defeated yes
terday, will make another protest
against the proposed increased tariffs
on dyestuffs. He intends to fight to
the last on the ground is is undemo-
cratic and resort on democracy's
part TO the republican principle of
protection. When the amendments
have been disposed of, the senate will
lay aside the revenue bill.
With the last of the appropriations
out of the way and conference re-
ports completed, administration lead
ers expect to pass the revenue bill, to
defeat motions made to take up the
corrupt practices and immigration
bills and then adjourn.
So far as known tonight, the only
legislation that may be pressed af-
fecting the railroad situation is a bill
to enlarge the interstate commerce
commission from seven to nine mem
bers.
The house Tuesday viii act on the
deficiency appropriation bill. 1t will
follow this with action on the amend
ed shipping bill which has been held
up because of the lack of quorum.
It then will wait for the senate reve-
nue. bill amendments and whatever
the railroad crisis may have in store.

ORDINANCE TO
BE CALLED UP TODAY

One of the important matters
scheduled to come up this afternoon
at the regular meeting of the city
commissioners viii be the ordinance
giving certain interests the right TO
construct a dry dock at a selected
point on the western bayfront.
This ordinance has been read twice
and this afternoon comes from the
hands of the city attorney, to whom
it was referred at the last MEETING,
in slightly amended form. It il IN
derstood that IN its present form it
is agreeable to the promoters and
should it be read today, there is lit
tie doubt of its passage unanimously.

VIII be more completely fitted for
aviation work than is the North Caro-
lima, for the experience which has
been gained with the latter vessel will
be used in remodeling the Washing
ton.
It is not certain where the Caro-
lima win go this year, and it is con-
sidered probable that she viii return
here also as the increased work at
the school win necessitate more ships
for maneuvers. The North Carolina
has the big observation balloon
aboard, besides several of the planes
from the station, and it is likely that
she viii return here, after the maneu-
vers of the Maine coast are COM

NORTH CAROLINA HAD
INTER RESTING CRUISE

The cruise of the North Carolina,
the mother ship of the flying school,
after she left Pensacola following the
hurricane of July 5, is shown in a
communication recently received
here. It win be remembered that the
North Carolina was detailed on neu-
trality duty o: the Virginia coast
when the German merchant subma-
rine Deutchsland left Baltimore.
Press dispatches at that time stated
that several aeroplanes were seen
lowering over the craft as she left
the docks, and authorities here stated
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-08-28

that it was possible aviators from the
North Carolina doing scout duty.
The account continues: while at
Norfolk we had the doubtful pleasure
of doing neutrality duty off the Vir-
ginia capes. The English cruisers
were keeping pretty close watch for
the German submarine. No sign OF
the submarine as far as the ship was
concerned.
Having joined the fleet at Newport
on the morning of the 5th we took up
the routiaa duty and wens sat for

STATEMENT BY
SWISS GOVERNMENT
Is Effective August 28th
i (Today)-Now Arrayed
Against Former Allies.
D. ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Rome, August 27.-Italy today de-
clared war on Germany.
According to official announcement
from Berlin, "the Italian government
declared through the Swiss govern
ment that it considers itself from
August 18th at war with Germany"
The Italian government has re-
quested the Swiss government to in
form the German government that
Italy considers herself at war with
Germany from and after August %.
Italy and Germany have been
drifting steadily toward war. Italy's
formal declaration amounts to little
more thnn an official recognition of
the state of affairs which already ex-
listed. The declaration became in
evitable when Italy recently sent
troops to Saloniki to cooperate in
the campaign on the Macedonian front
as Germany is directing the opposi-
ton forces on this battle line.
Italy's position has been anomal-
Gus since she withdrew from the
triple alliance and declared war on
Austria. Although by this act she
arrayed herself against her former
allies, Germany and Austria, she re-
manned officially at peace with Ger
many until yesterday.
