WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Presi- dent Wilson today was given a free hand by the railroads in his effort to avert strike for higher wages by engineers, conductors, trainnen and brakemen, with whose repre- sentatives he will confer here Thurs day.
 Formal 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 interest, was expected to clear away misun- derstandings of the four brotherhoods over the attitude of the roads, which has caused the unions to refuse to arbitrate the dispute.
 Possibility of a stoppage in the steady flow of commerce, thereby paralyzing the nations war prepara- tions, was believed by officials to have passed. They expected that an agreement to leave the wage question to an impartial tribunal would re- suit from Thursdays conference and already suggestions for means to forestall any further agitation con- corning wages and conditions of work during the war which at the same time would protect the workers in

ARGUMENTS CLOSE IN EASTERN ROADS
 PLEAFOR INCREASE
tRepublican A. p. Leased wire1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Argu- ments in the eastern railroads fifteen per cent advance rate case before the interstate commerce commission closed today with a statement of counsel for the roads that even if this increase is granted they soon will ask for another advance of approximately fifteen per cent in class and commodity rates and ten per cent on coal and coke.
 What is the intention of the rail- roads?" asked Commissioner McChord, ito make the sky the limit ?'
 'As cost increases rates must go up if we are to proceed-on a sound basis, answered John $. Patters of counsel fer the railroads.
 With both sides agreed that the rail- roads income had increased the chief point of contention was whether the additional revenue had offset the in- creastd cost of operation. MT. Pat terson, the only attorney speaking for the roads, said the last advance had 1 failed by about $120,000,000 to cover the increased expenses of the thirty eight systems. Counsel for the ship pers maintained that by use of the additional revenues and surplus the | railroads would not be in worse con- dition than other businesses and that
 
 not expect to impose additional burden on the shippers. MT. Patterson re- piled that the railroads had no desire to make money out of the war but that they recognized industry had 6 great | burden to bear and believed that it should be divided rather than placed l in one branch of business.
 Clifford Thorne, leading counsel for | the shippers, said an increase in | freight rates is essentially tax and that this is no time for an organized set of business men to ask the Amer ican people to increase their burden. Additional demands of the railroads, he continued, are almost keeping pace with the government in adding bur- dens to the people" Mir. Thorne con- tended that the surplus of the eastern railroads and their operating revenues this year were ample to maintain them on a sound basis, pay reasonable l dividend and preserve their credit.
 Higher rates were attacked by lum Der interests through J. V. Norman representing the Southern Hardwood Traffic association, and l.. C. Boyle representing the National Lumber i Manufacturers association. S. H Cowan, for the National Livestock Shippers Protective association, also

FOOD PROBLEMS|S NOW MORE PRESSING
 THAN REVOLUTION
rRepubIIcan A.P. Leased wire1


 LONDON, Nov. 1s.-The food prob 'em in Russia suddenly has become more pressing than the question of rev. nlution or counter-revolution not only In Petrograd and Moscow. but also at the front, according to telegrams from Petrograd, Moscow and Odessa.
 The spectre of famine appears to have done more than the force of armies to bring about quiet. At many places the Bolsheviki and bourgeoise, the paci- lists and the military cadets and the kerenskyites and the Leninites have Joined forces against the common ene- my-hunger-in a concentrated effort to slave off disaster, which seems al- most inevitable in view of the disor- Eanized state of transportation and widespread destruction of stores and supplies.
 The political situation, roughly speaking, is that the Bolshevikis have been victorious everywhere. A Mos COW telegram says:
 Fighting lasted in the city from the seventh to the fifteenth and ended in ! complete victory for the Bolsheviki. The casualties amounted to several thousand and the property damage was heavy All now is quiet and excellent order is being maintained"
 An Odessa dispatch dealing with the situation in Kiev says:
 "All is quiet now after 8 period of berious disorders
 Dispatches from Petrograd say the Bolshevikis were victorious but add that there is evidence reaction already Is setting in against the Bolsheyiki.

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Messages from Ambassador Francis at Petro- grad and Conusl General Summers at Moscow, dated last Friday and Satur- day and received today at the state de- partment said all Americans in the principal Russian cities were safe. Conitions in both places were reported as quieter, but still chaotic.
 Ambassador Francis reported that he had obtained transportation from Petrograd to Harbin over the trans Siberian railroad for Americans who wished to depart from the capital. He had recommended that all unattached women and men accompanied by wom- en anA children leave. Officials have estimated that there were about 200 Ar8ricans in Petrograd
 No suggestion was made Of moving the Americans from Moscow. although the fighting in that city appeared to have been more general and sangui- nary than that in Petrograd. During the fiercest of the street battling many Americans were gathered in the Hotel Metropole.
 Ambassador Frapcis' dispatch said the Petrograd city duma had not rec ognized the Lenine Trotzky faction and that many of the government de- partments weresS closed while others were operating under subordinate of ficials. A few Bolsheviki newspapers were appearing at intervals with ire quent changes of names. and banks were open part of the time. Dispatches from the state department were begin ming to reach MT.

 Officials at the Russian embassy said today they had received no late news but that the mention in press dis patches of the name of Captain Paw loff a social democrat workmen's leader, as being at the head of the troops opposing the Bolsheviki was encouraging as indicating that one of the strongest factions of the opposi- ton had gone over to the moderates.
 The prediction was made that the Bolsheviki would be overthrown by a military victory or fall by internal dis sension owing to the evident incapacity of the radical leaders to obtain the re- forms embodied in their program.

Tonight it seemed probable tha, most of tomorrow's sessions would be occupied with the selection of the other eight jurymen and that the examina- tion of witnesses would not be begun until Wednesday,
 As a basis for the insanity plea it is understood the defense will maintain she became mentally deranged when De Saulles broke a promise which she declares he made to return their son to her custody early the night of the shooting; that she motored to De Saulles' home, and, further excited by his refusal to let her see Little Jack, drew revolver from her pocket and shot him.
 The four jurors accepted today are married and have children.
