PRESIDENT MEETS
R.R. CHIEFS TOMORROW
To Tell Labor Leaders He Wants
Better transportation.

Washington. Dec. IS. - President
Wilson has summoned the chiefs ana
legislative agents of the four railroad
brotherhoods TO a conference at the
White House tomorrow.
1t is expected that the president
will outline to the representatives OF
the railroad workers whatever action
he has decided Is necessary to obtain
more efficient transportation in the
war crisis.
Both the chiefs and the legislative
agents have conferred with the presi.
dent recently, the chiefs soon after
their demands were made on the rail-
roads for increased wages and the
legislative agents several days ago
when they asked for assurances that
war demands should not relax the
safety restrictions imposed on rail-
road operation. They were told that
nothing Of that kind was contemplate
ed
The new conference came as a sur
prise in the railroad situation Priest,
dent Wilson has been studvinr all
phases of the question and 1t has been
understood that he intended to adj
dress congress on tho euhiect aftei
the holidays. While sentiment i'm
vor Of governmental operations of the
roads apparently has been growing
no intimation Of what the president
would recommend has been given and,
pending his address. it was thought
no further action was contemplated.

Air Warriors Predlcament.

An accident, without precedent in
warfare, occurred to a French bomb
Ing plane, and death was averted by a
feat Of daring which will long be re-
membered. The airplane was about to
descend after a raid, when the pilot
discovered that two Of his bombs had
caught in the rigging below the car.
1t was impossible to land without ex-
ploding them and blowing the frail
craft to fragments. The gasoline was
already running low and some desper-
ate expedient must be attemptd within
the next two seconds. While the pilot
held his craft to an even keel the pas
senger crawled from his seat to the
wing and thence to the rigging below
The bombs must be released with the
greatest delicacy to prevent their ex-
ploding. Impossible as the feat seem
ed, 1t was at last accomplished and
the passenger regained his seat In
Bafety.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Dec. 26.-Speedy

enough labor In sight to gather one

of so much loss, the people appealed

there said that would result in two
