New York. June 14.-Forced by
w. G. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Trainmen, into admitting that
the demands of the $4,000 railroad
men of the United States had been
rejected, the railroad managers at
the conference called here to avert a
general strike, to-day declared 1t was
up to the men to decide whether
they should continue the conference.
The union leaders, after stating that
the railroads counter proposition was
not acceptable, decided to continue
the conference but indicated they ex-
pected 1t to end later to-day or to-
morrow.
Labor leaders said the next step
would be to submit to the unions n
vote as to whether the
officials should be empowered to exer-
else their own judgment in calling a
strike. If that were decided in the
Affirmative, another conference of the
would be called.

Philadelphia, June 14.-Businessmen

vention began its first session shortly
after noon to-day with not a single
element in sight to disturb the har-
monious renomInation of President
Wilson and Vice-President Marshall.
When National Chairman McCombs
called the convention to order 10000
delegates, alternates and spectators
packed the big Coliseum to the roof.
Members OF the national committee,
members of President Wilson's Cabi-
net and party leaders from all over
the country had places on the plat
form. Plaster medallions of Washing
ton, Jackson, Jefferson and Cleveland
looked down upon the delegates from
the decorations. which consisted uni
formly of nothing but the American
nag. The only picture of President
Wilson in the hall hung in front of
the speakers desk, inscribed America

a message to all the world that will

Reviewing President Wilson's con-
duct of foreign affairs, he declared the
President bad stood with Washington,
Adams and Grant, who had preserved
peace with honor.
For vainglory or for selfish pur-
pose" he declared. "others may cry
for policy of blood and iron, but the
President has acted on the belief that

his people into an unnecessary war

hands of innocent blood while the
