Hurt While Helping
Another, Worker Will
Get No Compensation

Do not aid, your employer in any
manner other than that for which
you have been specifically hired and
are paid This is the lesson taught
in the decision handed down by Com
pensation Z Commissioner Edward T
Buckingham yesterday when he de-
MED compensation to Nicolo Ghiomin-
dow in the, case against the Burns
Co.
Ghiomindo employed as a laborer
to shovel dirt from q cart, found the
driver absent. With the view OF
keeping the efficiency Of the work
at a high standard GhioKnindo at
tempted to drive the wagon for load
Of dirt but fell between the wheels
and was injured.
"It is impossible says the COM
mission, 'tto lay down hard and fast
rules that can be applied to all cases
Of this kind s. but it seems to
me that if an employe attempts to do
something entirely outside his regular
employment which is more hazard
Gus than his regular duties, there we
just draw a line to show that it is
outside of his regular employment. F"

PRESIDENT, IN NATIONS
NAME, ASKS UNIONS AND
ROADS TO AVERT STRIKE

Should a genera! tie-up be ordered,
no man can tell how serious it's eff
fects would be. 1t was urged. Within
short time work on the large num-
Der OF battle ships, destroyers, sub
marines and other vessels now laid
down would cease. The entire build
ing plan of the navy would be disar-
ranged and preparedness would be
held back indefinitely at time when
there is the greatest necessity for
speeding up the work of construction
all along the line.
What is true of material entering
into ship construction, applies also to
the steel castings for projectiles, ma
terial for the construction of naval
guns at the big factories and mater
ial absolutely required in all of the
arsenals Of the country for construc-
ton of munitions for the SHIFTED States
army. In short, the President and
the Cabinet held that big railroad
strike at this time would be calam-
ity from the national defense stand
point.
For these reasons. members of the
Cabinet felt, they said. that the Presi-
dent would be justified in demanding
that the railroads and their employees
compose existing differences, even if
industries generally would not be par
alyzed and the poor made to suffer
through the failure Of the railroads
to move the necessaries Of life.

Most Earnest and Solemn
Protest" Entered BY the
President, Who Points
Out That Interruption to
Traffic Would ENTAIL a
Danger to the Nation"
Governor Cox of Ohio
Threatens Martial Law
Suggestion at Cabinet
Meeting to Put Mail Car
on Every Freight Train.

New York, March 17-President
Wilson,, in the name of the nation,
appealed yesterday to the railroads
and the trainmen's brotherhoods to
settle their differences and avert the
nationwide strike set for tonight.
The President sent to this city a
special commission Of the Council or
National Defense, composed OF Cecre-
tary Of the Interior Franklin K. Lane,
Secretary of Labor William B. Will
son, President Samuel Gompers Of the
American Federation of Labor, and
President Daniel Willard Of the abb
timore & Ohio Railroad.
Secretary Lane and Mr.. Willard
were the first to arrive and they went
into conference with the four Broth
erhood chiefs at $3.50 p. m. at the
Biltmore Hotel, Secretary Wilson
joined them at 1880.
All over the country yesterday the
voice of public protest was raised
dent Wilson led the mighty chorus,
saying in his personal appeal to both
sides in the controversy:
"a general interruption of the
railway traffic Of the country at this
time would entail a danger to the
nation, against which have the right
to enter my most solemn and earnest
protest."
Appeals for Government interven-
ton poured into Washington from Or
CARNATIONS of business men and citi-
zens in every city of any consequence
in the entire country.
Gov. Whitman and President Smith
Of the New York Central talked last
night on the strike problem.
Gov. Cox Of Ohio issued this state
ment at Columbus:
These are perilous times, and in
Ohio, if it becomes necessary to avert
a food famine, or to give the President
of the United States that cooperation
in a crisis which he deserves, will
make martial law OF the law Of the
State and take over the railroads and
run them.
In an emergency such as this we
are looking for precedent. The law
of the human heart becomes the law
of the land. Martial law disp1aces all
to our people and help to our Presi-
that when the call is made on our
citizenship the response will be sat
isfactory."
President Wilson and his Cabinet
gave all day to a study of the situa-
ton. resulting in his appeal to both
sides for peace, and resulting also, in
letter from Secretary of War Baker
to the Presidents Special Commission,
urging on them the grave peril in
volved in a general strike at this
time.
The proposition to equip all freight
trains with a mail coach was one
feature Of the situation brought up in
the Cabinet conference It was con-
ceded by the President and his adj
visers that there is all the needed au-
thority on the statute books to pre-
vent interruption Of the United States
mails While no decision was reach
ed on the suggestion it found favor
among many members OF the Presi-
dents official family
The President and his advisers face
the fact that all the United States
navy yards are constructing ships up
to the limit Of existing facilities, and
would be greatly EN- barrassed by the
failure Of material to arrive on sched-
ule time.

that he (the Grand Duke) and Gen.
