What Wilson's
Failure Would
Mean toNati0n

{ If President Wilson fails to persuade
tho railroad men and their employers
to settle their differences and general
strike is called. 1t will be directed from
headquarters in New York. This an
nouncement was made Monday as the
leaders Of the four big railway BROTH
erhoods and the railroad managers
reached Washington for a conference
with the head of the nation.
At the brotherhood headquarters It
was said that all preparations had been
made for putting into operation a
strike that would stop every train,
passenger and freight, on the 22S rail-
way systems of the United States. The
critical state Of affairs was indicated
by the anxiety displayed in every big
industry which would be crippled by
the failure Of transportation.
Authorities here declared that while
the national labor laws gave the Pres
ident no right to interfere officially, the
broad police powers vested in him gave
him authority to put soldiers on the
trains and even to declare martial law
# he believed the peril Of the situation
called for such drastic measures.
CisveIands Action
Attention was called to the last ma
tional railroad strike in 1894 when Pres
fident Cleveland used the regular army
to guard locomotives and cars.
To Manufacturers
rhe %>os{op ~ h,,e;roee o;roYac haro
Monday showed a realization Of the
acute danger Of a national calamity.
It was to be remembered business
men said, that there Is scarcely a fac
tory Of any importance which does not
depend upon railroad for it's products.
"a strike. for instance, would mean that
the steel mills Of Pittsburg will be cut
off from their ore supplies in Michigan
and Wisconsin, the automobile indus
tries of Michigan from supplies of steel
from Pittsburg, the cotton mills Of New
England from the cotton from the
South. the garment manufacturers of
New York from their cloth from New
England, and every industry every
where will be cut off from coal to feed
the furnaces and dynamos.
The suspension Of the country's ex-
ports, the congestion Of imports at
Coast cities, the stranding Of hundreds
Of thousands Of travellers and summer
Visitors far from their homes-these are
other possibilities which the strike sit
uation presents, to say nothing Of its
effect on the railroads themselves and
their employees.
The total capitalization Of the rail-
roads in the country amounts to more
than $4,000. 0oo. 900 and their gross rev.
enue has been estimated at more than
@4,ooo, 900 900. on the basis of recent re-
ports.

A. B. Garretson. president Of the Order
Of Railway Conductors and spokesman for

clear today that under no circumstances
will the employees agree to arbitration un.
der the Newlands act.
The boards Of arbitration provided by
that act, they maintain. are too small

too close and as a result the employees
have suffered. Indications were that the

might propose a special board Of arbitra.

men, including representatives Of all the

less some agreement could be reached
