Hope Lingers for
Industrial Peace

Washington Aug. 23-The answer Of more than 60
railroad presidents including those of western roads
newly arrived on President Wilson's proposed plan for
averting the threatening strike is being formulated
very utterance of the railway heads displayed oppos
ton to the presidents suggestion but was considered
possible cOunterprOp0Sal acceptable to the employees
would be made as the basis for further negotiations
committee had in charge the framing of reply and it
peared doubtful that it could be finished today The en-
ployes' committee of $40 continued to mark time.
AS the railroad executives were not ready for an
other conference this morning, President Wilson called
the cabinet to dispose Of the business which has accumu
lated while ne has been considering the strike problem
At 10 o'clock this morning the went into a meet
ing which attended by the leaders of all four brother
hoods. No special purpose attached to it and the
leaders said it would be just to keep the together
statement in reply to the arguments of the railroad
utves on the question of arbitration being prepared
by the leaders and probably will be issued for publication
The brotherhood officials described the situa
unchanged
The railroad executives made formal announce
that consideration of the situation had been turned
committee of eight and that conclusions had
been reached.
The following were announced as members Of the
committee which will work President Wilson's propo-
sal and make report to the assembled executives: Hale
Holden, Bulngton W. W. Atterbury, Pennsylvania;
Fairfax Harrison, Southern: Robert S. Lovett Union
Pacific; E. P Ripley, Santa Fe A. H. Smith, New York
Central; Frank Trumbull, Chesapeake & Ohio; Daniel
Willard, Baltimore & Ohio.
While the subcommittee working, the executives
got into touch with their boards of directors 1t
aersoOd that reply might ready for President Will
son tonight or tomorrow morning.
In administration circles it was said there was hope
for settlement.
The exact nature of the proposal to be submitted to
President Wilson not revealed but from the fact that
the executives in communication with their boards
f directors the conclusion drawn that it concerned
The concession of the eght-hour day.
The brotherhood meeting did nothing and adjourned
until o'clock this afternoon.
An invitation from Vice President Marshall to all Of
he representatives to visit the today ac
cepted.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-08-23

The turn has come in the tide Of
people. That is, there are now more
returns than departures, and the rela-
tive proportion of those going to those
coming will continue to increase from
this time on, until in about thirty days
most of the people viii be home again.
The departures this year for points
anywhere from the mountains or the
coast to points thousands of miles dis
tent have been fully up to the normal
%, summer, and those now coming
beck are bringing new zeal for their
&C, upations, and business from this
day on will show a constant improve
ment.
There are two reasons which will
impell people to return early. One is
that the cotton harvest is already
starting and the other is the need for
getting in an unusual acreage Of early
barley to help make good the short
age of other crops caused by the forty
days of drought

Directors Meet Tomorrow
TO Consider the Recall

The directors Of the irrigation dis
trict will meet tomorrow to consider
the petition for the recall Of Waiter O.
T!smilton from the directorate. To-
morrow will be the tenth and last day
allowed Secretary Graham to canvass
the petition, and he must tomorrow
certify either to the sIfficiency or in
sufficiency of the petition. While the
petition had large surplus Of names,
it is understood the majority dircc-
tors and attorney have been endeavor-
ing to find some excuse for throwing
it out, making a play for time.
If no such excuse is found, it will
,he obligatory on the board to imme-
diately call an election on recall to be
held within forty days and not within
thirty-five days, which implies that
the election will be held between Sep
tember 28 and October g. At that
time practically everybody will be
home from the coast and mountains,
and the vote will be representative of
the united will of the people Of this
