STRIKE SITUATION
CONTINUED from Page One)

Of the Senate Democratic legislative
steering committee in their room in the
Senate Office building, President Will
son not only asked advice regarding
the desirability of his laying the whole
railroad situation before Congress in
a personal address, but discussed with
them problems of legislation to pre-
vent a nation wide strike or in the
event Of strike to keep the roads in
operation for national necessities.
Presidents Statement
The conference continued for two
hours and a half. AS the President
left the committee room at half past
six, he passed a group of newspaper
correspondents, and was about to leave
the building. He turned suddenly,
however, and summoned the news
paper men.
II will have to tell you some time"
he said, land / might just as we'll tell
you now that I came here today to
consult with the steering committee Of
the Senate and to get their advice on
my appearing before Congress on the
railroad situation. I have just asked
their advice and my decision will be
announced later"
Senator Kern, chairman Of the COM
mittee, said that the committee was
in full accord with the President re-
garding the advisab bility Of his ad-
dressing Congress and that joint
session would be arranged to hear him
either tomorrow or Wednesday.
I'VE have undertaken the framing
Of general BILL" said Senator New
lands tonight, regarding various
phases OF legislation that will be nee
essary to meet this railroad situation.
The purpose is to take as a basis for
this legislation the bill to enlarge the
Interstate Commerce Commission. To
meet the emergency we are consider
ing also legislation for fixing an eight
hour workday for railroad employees,
an increase in revenue to the railroads
to meet greater expense Of operation
due to adoption Of the eight-hour day
and an amendment to the existing ar
bitration laws.
We are considering applying to the
arbitration law the Canadian principle
which would prohibit a strike OF lock-
out pending negotiations and for
ptIlCu OI " OdyS AO1iOWlHS OcClsiOI
in any controversy.
with reference to the eight-hour
day. there Is being discussed the ad-
visibility of making legislation pro-
viding for making it effective at
time far enough in the future to per-
NIT the railroads to adjust their af-
fairs. Just how all these things will
be worked out finally we cannot say"
In addition to this proposed con-
structive legislation. the President
and his advisers have also under dis
cussion the problem of legislation in
event Of strike to keep the railroads
in operation.
