day before he had heard the railway
executives the latter were made to
believe that he was prejudiced in ad-
vance against their side of the case.
Nothing that the President has done
since has served to change that i'm
preston. The railway men firmly be-
iieve that it was the sympathy Of the
White House that strengthened the
determination of the brotherhoods to
persist in their demands and thus pre-
vent mutual concessions.
The railway executives have been
strengthened in their belief by the
declaration of Chairman Adamson.
President Wilson determined his pres
ent course, the House chairman said,
more than four months ago. On what
his deductions were based is a question
that is interesting many executives
just now. IL has been credibly re-
ported that they were founded on sew
eral things:
The advice of Frank P. Walsh,
former chairman of the Industrial Re-
lations Commission, on the question
OF the eight-hour day; opinions from
Louis d. Brandeis and from Judge
Chambers, of the Mediation Board, as
to the ability of the railroads to bear
the increased cost of such a day; and
the declaration of the Democratic plat
form on the subject.
From these scanty materials, or
others equally slim at best, the Presi-
dent has created the situation now on
the point Of breaking from his control

SAM THE PEDLER
Raise $4,000 in Secret
Meeting to Defend
SLAYER.

Brotherhoods Of the underworld are
may result from District Attorney
Swann's campaign against white
slavers. The pickpockets of New York
have raised $4,000 for the defence OF
Sam the Pedler, and promise Of as
sistance has come from ChicagO's old
North Side Penderloin, according &c
information which reached James L.
Smith. Assistant District Attorney,
yesterday.
The meeting at which the money
was raised was held Friday night IN
the Darkroom of "a Rivington Street
saloon. The word had gone out days
before, and when the fares Of the
pushcart men began to blaze through
the East Side, dozens OF sleek crooks
were threading their way to the rem
devious.
II was / stormy r.eeting, according
to all accounts. Scarcely did the high
words abate when the measured tread
of the patrolman on post sounded be-
meath the half open transom Of the
family entrance"
Ties between the traffickers in flesh
and the sly fraternity which makes
its living from other peoples pockets
are as close as any in crookdom. In
times of dixie necessity the most re-
fulgent Of white slavers will pick
pockets for a living nor think his es-
tate demeaned. Some gravitate be-
tween the two professions and some
practise both at once.
Although there were dissenters, and
bitter ones, who objected strongly 70
Quitting in," the majority finally pre-
vailed, and it was decided that Sam
the Pedler and the rest Of the luckless
crew must be befriended. The frank
methods of the gunner who promptly
announce a benefit ball" when one OF
their trade gets into Jail are not for
such as gathered in the Rivington
Street saloon on Friday night. Such
advertising CT their object, with the
necessary Accompaniment Of I'M
ashamed blackmailing necessary to
sell tickets to timid merchants is not
to the taste of the retiring white
SLAYER. So. after further argument,
il was decided to redistribute the
rich fields of the railroad terminals.
