RAILROADS WILL
GIVE PRESIDENT
A FREE HAND

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.---Presi-
dent Wilson was given free hand
by the railroads in his effort to
avert a strike for higher wages by
engineers, conductors, trainmen and
brakemen, with whose representa-
tives he will confer here Thursday.
Final announcement by the rail
roads war board that the railroads
were ready, should any crisis arise,
to place their interests unreservedly
in the hands of the President for
such disposition as he may determine
is necessary in the public interests,
was expected to clear away misun-
derstandings of the four brother
hoods over the attitude of the roads
which had caused the unions to re-
fuse to arbitrate the dispute.
Possibility of stoppage in the
steady flow of commerce, thereby
paralyzing the nations war prepare
tons, was believed by officials to
have passed.
They had expected that an agree
ment to leave the wage question to
an impartial tribunal would result
from Thursdays conference, and al
ready suggestions for means to fore
stall any further agitation concern
ing wages and conditions of work
during the war, which at the same
time would protect the workers in
maintaining their standards of life
in the midst of war prices, are under
consideration. England's example of
allowing the board of trade to regu-
late wages at intervals of several
months, and at the same time adjust
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-11-22

rates to protect the railroads, is be-
ing given close study.
Some form of continuing arbitra-
ton, it is believed, will result from
the Presidents conference. The rail-
roads have indicated that they may
ask for some form of control of the
wages and rates similar to that in
effect to regulate coal wages and
prices.
Brotherhood officials have disclos-
ed a serious situation in their dis
cussions with Judge William L.
Chambers, chairman of the United
States board of mediation and con-
Citation, who has been President
Wilson's representative in prelimin-
AIRY conferences with both sides.
They said increased wages are nee
essary to maintain the operating per-
sonnet of the roads against the in
ducements of higher wages paid in
other industries which have govern
ment contracts.
Recruiting of railroad regiments
for service in France, enlistment in
the army, and the operation of the
draft law, also have aided in depict
ing the number of highly trained
railroad men.
