There is no present possibility that
Rumania's entrance into the war will
open the Dardanelles and permit Rus

Turkey declares war against Rumania
the latter's attitude must be a defen-

1t is not probable that Rumania for
the present will engage in a major Of

Pennsylvania. There is a large Ru-

to the railroads of the country by
which he hopes to avert the threaten

1t was this new plan of the presi
dent s, it became known this afternoon
that resulted in deferring the confer
ence with the railroad presidents sched
uled for 10 o clock at the White House.
1t was likely to defer this conference
again beyond the hour of 2:30, the new
time set, it was indicated. 1t has be.
come apparent the president did not in
tend to hear the so-called final terms of
the railway heads, while he considered
there was possibility of obtaining
radical changes in the terms.
If the present effort fails, the pres
ident will appeal to congress and If
possible secure the passage of two laws
that will delay and possibly avert the
threatened strike, and prevent recur-
renee of such situation.
The president still stands pat on his
demand for concession by the railroads
of the principle of the eight hour day.
He is willing, however, that sufficient
time should elapse before it is put into
effect to enable q commission Of five
men to investigate and work out all
details regarding the application of

Insists On Eight Hour Day
