THE SITUATION IS GRAVE
Administration Is Faced BY the

Has Threatened the Country

WASHINGTON, March f6.-
Faced by the gravest domestic situa-
tion that has threatened the country
for many months President Wilson
called his cabinet into session at
2.3O this afternoon to determine
course OF action in the fight between
the railways and their employees.
The presidents hands, it is adj
mitted, are tied in so far as being
able to adopt any drastic measures
To ward off the threatened strike
OF the brotherhoods.
courses oren--a patriotic appeal to
both sides in the controversy To
make concessions. I'm view of the
grave internationa! crisis, TO pre-
vent the impending tieup of the
country's railway transportation sys-
tens, or the sunmoning into con-
ference with him of representatives
OF the railways and brotherhoods
in an effort to mediate their differ
enccS.
An announcement as to the presi-
dents course Is expected at the
conclusion of the cabinet meeting
this afternoon.
The administration regards the
strike situation as an extremely
grave question in which each side
OF tho controversy Is partly to
position.
Inquiry win probably be made in
to the possibility OF the government
bringing injunction proceedings To
prevent the strike IL peaceful set
tlement is impossible. or perhaps
asking for receiyership for the rail-
ways and operating them in this way.
The president is expected to make
clear to the people OF the country
his opinion of the situation should
all efforts To avert strike fall. Al
80 there Is possibility of fastening
the special session OF congress, II
necessary, In order to secure power
for the president 10 bring the gov
ernment forces into play To handle
the crisis.
The president is still weakened
from his protracted illness and will
leave his room for the first time In
nine days to attend his cabinet scs-
sion this afternoon.

BASEBALL IS IN
BAD FIX TO-DAY
PLAYERS MILES AWAY FROM
HOME AND RAILWAY MEN
SAY TRAINS TO STOP.
How The Clubs are to Get Home in
Time for the Opening OF the
Season New the problem
For solution.

NEW YORK. March. 16.--Base-
ball. just recovering from terri
hle struggle with Dave Fultz and
his fraternizers, is in a fine fix TO-
day. Every major league club in
the country is miles and miles
away from home and the railway
men say they are going TO stop run
ming trains.
Thus is thrown right up to them
the prospect OF no trains for the
axes victims and no trains for
those vino will stick.
Also there Is a prospect of the
middle west worrying along with
cut having seen the Red sox and
Dodgers stage a repetition of last
autumn's world series, although it
Is generally believed the middle west
can stand it without any trouble.
