the leaders of the four great brother
hoods OF railway employees represent
ing 100000 men, the majority of whom

on 20 railway systems, were held
here today. These meetings were to
enable the leaders TO decide upon
their course of action if the represen-
tatives of the railroads again refuse
their demand for an eight-hour day
and other changes. The labor leaders
declined to discuss the appeal to Pres
ldent Wilson TO prevent the threaten
ed strike
Washington, Aug. 4-Judge William
l.. Chambers, commissioner Of the
United States board of mediation and
Cancellation, conferred with President
Wilson today over the threatened
strike of 100000 railroad employees.
Judge Chambers told the president
he believed there was nothing formal
that the federal government could do
until the railroad managers and the
representatives of the employees meet
again next week after counting of the
strike vote has been completed.
Judge Chambers thinks there is still
a chance that an agreement will be
reached. The board of mediation and
Cancellation expects to be called in

BRITISH VESSEL
SINKS SUB,CLAIM
German Undersea Craft is Worsted in
Battle With Steamer Strath-
ness, Captain Asserts.

Baltimore, Md, Aug. captain
David Thomson, master of the British
steamship Strathness, which arrived
here today from Mediterranean ports,
told of an engagement which he de-
cIared his vessel had with a German
submarine on July Is in which the
SubmerSible was sunk.
Two gunners from the British navy,
who were in charge of a six-pound
gun mounted on the after deck of the
Strathness for defense purposes sank
the submarine, according to Captain
Thomson, when a ball struck it amid
ships, causing an explosion. He said
the under water boat dived suddenly
and was not seen again.
While the Strathness was struck
several times, once by a torpedo, no
great damage was done and the
freighter escaped with severa! denied
plates and portions OF her superstruc-
ture demolished.

APPROVE PROMOTION
OF Won HTNDENBURG

Amsterdam. Aug 4.-The appoint
ment or Field Marshal Won Hindenburg
to the supreme command on the east
ern front is hailed by the German pa
pers as a masterful stroke.
The Hamburger Nachrichten says;
"Eie is the right man in the right
place. A desire long since cherished
by our people, but never directly ex-
pressed is now fulfilled. In the pres
emit rrisis on the eastern front the con-
solidation Of the army groups was a
necessity. All commanders Of the
eastern armies will readily and IN
grudgingly submit to Won linden
burg's authority"
The KOelnische Volks Zeitung says:
"Germany's confidence in her army
leaders in the east was never shaken
but the appointment of Won linden
burg increases this confidence to GER
tanIty"

BLACK LIST WILL
NOT Be ENFORCED
Great Britain Gives Evidence of Intent
to Alleviate NOxiOus Features
of Embargo.
CBy John CaIlan OLaughIin in Chi
Cago Tribune)

CBy John CaI1an OTaughIin in Chi
Cago TribuneD
Washington, Aug. 4.-Great Britain
has given evidence to the state depart
ment of her purpose not to enforce the
''black list" against the United States.
An answer to the recent protest
presented to the London government
by direction of the president is being
drafted, and, while it is expected to
uphold the principle back of the Brit
ish action, there will be assurances
that the policy proclaimed will not be
generally applied and that due consid-
Grafton will be given to American in
tereSts.
Even in the cases of the firms
blacklisted the understanding of the
department is that the rigorous meas
ures ordered against most of them
will not be carried out Wherever dam
age is caused illegitimately payment
therefor will be made.
Keep Within Limitations.
With Great Britain's purpose to
cripple the trade of her enemies the
United States can have no quarrel,
provided, of course, the action taken
is in accordance with the require
ments of international law.
British control of the operations of
British subjects is unquestionable.
Only where such control affects Amer
lean interests can this government
properly complain and require redress.
1t is within these limitations that the
president directed the recent protest
to be handed to the British govern
ment.
The "black list measure is i'm
portant in itself, but it is only fea-
ture of the policy of restriction upon
enemy trade which has been applied
by Great Britain. Against this gen
eral policy the United States will pro-
test in no uncertain language.
