dent Wilson's mediators to make
whatever arrangements were neces-
sary with the railroad brotherhoods

national crisis precipitated by events
of which we heard this afternoon, the
national conference committee of rail-
roads join with you Ia the conviction
that neither at home nor abroad
should there be fear or hope that the
efficient operation of tho railroads OF
the country will be hampered or i'm
paired. Therefore you are authorized
to assure the nation there will be no
strike, and as a basis for such assur-
ance we hereby authorize the commit
tee of the Council of National De-
tense to grant to the employees who
are about to strike whatever adjust
ment your committee deems neces-
sary to guarantee uninterrupted and
efficient operations of the railroads
as an Indispensable arm of national
defense"
The decision reached by the man.
ayers at their midnight conference
means that the brotherhoods have
won an important victory, although 1t
does not bring them all their original
demands. By the agreement, It Is as
sumed they will be awarded pro-rata
time for overtime on the basic eight
hour day. which they have been as
sured.
Their original demands called for
time and half for overtime on the
same basic day.
Secretary Lane issued this state
ment: Regardless of the decision OF
the Supreme Court on the Adamson
law, the basic eight-hour day will go
into effect"

Washington. March 21.-President
Wilson today called Congress in ex-
ira session on April 2. The purpose
of the extra session is to take action
on the state of war which admitted
ly exists between the United States
and Germany
Congress probably will be asked to
declare that state of war has ex-
listed since some recent date when
German submarines began conduct
ing their most warlike operations
against American commerce.
Face to face with the gravest inter
national crisis of years, President
Wilson, by executive order, today ad
vanced the date of the extra session
of the sixty-fifth Congress.
1t had been planned to have the
extra session convene on April 16.
bdt, in view of the serious turn of af
fairs brought about by the sinking of
three American merchant ships, with
resultant loss of American lives, the
President and HE advisers deemed 1t
advisable to summon the senators and
representatives back to Washington
at once, in order to be prepared to
meet any emergency.
In his proclamation calling Con
gress together the President states
that it is for the purpose of receiving
communication from him concern
ing grave questions of international
policy"
The proclamation does not state
specifically that the President consid-
ers state of war exists. but leaves
the question for discussion in his ad-
dress and for action by Congress.
