brotherhood Leaders .HopefuI.v ,

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 13.--
An authorized announcement today
sets forth that on March 7th, officials
of the four railroad brotherhoods
wrote President Wilson, formally no.
tifying him of the conference with the
railroad managers scheduled to occur
March 18th. These officials declared
in their letter to the president they
are hopeful of making a satisfactory
settlement with the railroads.
The communication also informed
the president that if the nation should
become involved in war while negotia-
tions between the railroads and the
brotherhoods were still pending the
latter organizations stand prepared %
cooperate fully with the government
in any way desired.
Neither President Wilson nor Sec
retary of Labor Wilson had official in
formation this afternoon that the rail-
road brotherhoods intend to strike un-
less some satisfactory arrangement is
reached at Thursdays conference in
New York An investigation has been
begun, however, and officials regard it
as inconceivable that no action will
be taken to prevent a walk-out. This
time it is taken for granted President
Wilson will use his utmost efforts to
bring about a solution of the differ
ences between the men and the oper-
ators, and that in no event will he
consent to tie-up of the nations
railroads for any cause whatever.

This has been a long and tedious
case, and from a piece of testimony
introduced you are aware there has
been previous trial.
The only mode provided by law for
a case of this character to be decided
Is by the verdict of the jury, and if
ever decided it must eventually be
done by a jury, and it is your duty %
decide the case, if you can conscien-
tiously do so. You should listen to
the argument of each other with dis
position to be convinced, and to that
endAyou should deliberate together
with calmness. Jurors should not al
low the pride. Oh opln1on or Judgement
to prevent them from giving carefui
and conscientious consideration to the
views his fellow jurymen may have
to present upon the testimony in the
case. and if possible agree upon a
verdict, if they can do so without
violating their conscious convictions"
