GENERAL STRIKE
GOES ON SATURDAY
If EIGHT HOUR DAY IS NOT
GRANTED BY THE RAIL-
ROAD COMPANIES.

Washington, March 13:-Com-
plete plans of the four railroad
brotherhoods for nation wide
strike to be inaugurated next Satur-
day evening unless the railroads
grant their eight hour day demands
were ratified here today by local
union leaders from Southern terri
tory and by a similar conference of
representatives of the Southwest
held at St Louis.
The brotherhood heads will tell
the railroad conference committee in
New York Thursday that if an
agreement is not reached this week
for establishment of an eight-hou
basis day with time and a half for
overtime, strike orders already is-
sued to local organizations will be.
come effective. The demands are
just what they were last fall, when
President Wilson averted a strike
after the call was out by inducing
Congress to pass the Adamson law,
which never has been put into effect,
pending a decision on its constitu-
tionality by the supreme court.
There is every indication that TIE
President is prepared to move again
if it becomes apparent that the ma
ton, facing the gravest international
crisis of its history, is about to have
its transportation facilities paralyzed.
Although still confined to his bed
by cold, yet the President heard
reports during the day from Secre-
tary Wilson on the plans of the
brotherhoods. There was no state
ment as to what action he was con-
templating, but it is understood to
be probable that his first step may
be an appeal to the employers and
employees to reach an agreement as
a patriotic duty,
