tor Newlands had asked members Of

morrow morning. The meeting yester-
day was so discouraging that an ad-

amounted to compulsory arbitration.
The railroad managers, where they have

WILSON RAILROAD
PROGRAM OPPOSED
Senate Committee BaIks at
Plan to Suspend Strike
Orders.

President Wilson's two bills to pre-
vent strikes and lockouts which were
to be the part of the compromise OF
last September in the interest of the
public and the carriers, the brother
hoods having been given their share
at the time in the passage, of the
eight-hour law, are now in fair way
to fail unless the strong arm of the
Chief Executive is, interposed as it
was to put through the eight-hour
bill.
1t has been intimated from time to
time that the Presidents program
was in bad way. But his visit to
Chairman Newlands one afternoon re-
Gently and the long conference in the
latter's committee room was supposed
to have given a new impetus to the
program. But Congress has not re-
sponded to the Presidents supposed in
terest in the public's and the carriers
side of the question with the same
alacrity that it did to the Presidents
supposed interest in the eight-hour
bill.
How Far VIII Wilson Go.
The first meeting of the Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce, held
yesterday, to consider the two bills,
failed to muster a quorum. Only eight
of the seventeen members of the COM
mittee Came to the meeting. These
sat around and informally discussed
the bills and before long it was per.
fectly manifest that neither c6uld be
favorably reported unless some strong
influence is brought to bear in the
matter, and it is now being conjec-
tured just how far the President will
be willing to go to drive through this
program.
1t was said after the meeting by
some of the Senators who were pres
ent that 1t would be impossible to get
a favorable report from the committee
on any plan for suspension of strike
orders and that the same spirit of
hostility prevailed as to the Under
wood bill authorizing the Interstate
Commerce Commission to fix wages
and hours of service and to the bill
giving the President authority to take
over and operate the railroads in time
