BrotherhoodS and Railroad
Managers Alike Oppose
Presidents Plan for Com
puISory Arbitration,
WANT NO ABRlDGMENT
OF RIGHT TO STRIKE
Underwood Seeks to Have
Power to Fix Wages Con-
ferred on Interstate Com
merCe Commission,

Washington, Jan. Upon the re-
convening of congress tomorrow, chief
interest will center in hearings before
the senate commerce committee on
President Wilson'S recommendations
for legislation to supplement the
Adamson law, which was er acted to
become effective today and the con-
stitutionality of which is to be argued
in the supreme court next week.
Representatives of the employees
brotherhoods, the railroads of the
country and the general public have
been invited 10 appear before the COM
mittee by Chairman Newlands to ex-
press their views on the presidents
proposals and suggestions that have
been made by members of congress.
The attitude of the brotherhood Off
cials is known to be antagonistic to the
presidents recommendation that con-
gress enact a law which would nlat7e
railroad strikes unlawful pending a
period of investigation of disputes by
an official board of inquiry, should
mediation by a board of conciliation
fail to settle threatened trouble. Rail-
road. employees say that such a law,
modelled after the Canadian disputes
act, would mean compulsory arbitra
ton and involuntary servitude, and
that it would operate as a legal ban
on the right to strike.
Investigation Only.
An alternative suggestion is expected
in the form of law which would pro-
vide for compulsory investigation of
disputes between railroad managers
and their employees, but which would
not deny the right to strike pending
the outcome of an inquiry.
Besides the original arbitration and
strike prevention bill which the presi
dent / s urging, and which Senator
Newlands champions, the committee
also will have before it a proposal by
Senator Underwood which would give
the Interstate Commerce commission
the right to fix wages and conditions
of employment of railway workers.
Opposition to the general legislative
scheme is developing in both branches
of congress, so much so as to arouse
misgivings whether anything can be
accomplished by March A. If nothing
is done, some members of congress
believe that the president will call an
extra session to deal with the prob
lem.

REGARD REPLY OF
ALLIES AS REFUSAL


Berlin, Jan. (Wireless to Sayville)
1.-THE text of the entente note reply
ing to the peace offer of the central
powers" says the semi -official Over
seas News agency, reached Berlin as
transmitted from Paris by the Havas
News agency. The general impression
here is--if this version is correct-that
the entente answer to the sincere Ger
man offer, while verbose, nevertheless
is flat refusal to end the war. This
is especially regretted for the sake OF
the neutral countries suffering from
the consequences of the war.
ut is pointed out as especially re-
markable that the entente note men
tions the right of nationalities, al
though one of the avowed war pur-
poses Of the entente is the conquest OF
Constantinople and the straits"

Washington, Jan. President Will
son late today went to the capitol and
spent an hour discussing the country $
foreign affairs with Senator Stone,
chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee. Their talk covered wide
range, but it is understood that much
of the time was devoted to the situa-
ton growing out of the unfavorable
entente reply to the peace proposals
of the central powers.
Aside from transmitting the entente
note to Germany and her allies, the
United States will take no further for
NAL action in the peace movement, at
least until the entente governments
have replied to the communication of
President Wilson addressed to them.
II the note to the Teutonic nations had
been forwarded tonight the state de-
partment did not disclose the fact.
Little Chance for Peace.
Cable reports from Paris indicating
that the entente answer to President
Wilson had been prepared and would
be the same in effect as that to the
oSilSeIeillst ulu nOl increase nope
here for favorable outcome of the
negotiations. 1t is known that the
German embassy believes that unless
the note to President Wilson opens the
door for further advance by its gov
ernment, the war will go on another
year at least.
So far as could be learned, the presi-
dent during his visit today to Senator
Stone sought no action from congress
relating to the peace movement. Af-
terward, however, it was learned that
administration leaders in the senate
were preparing to sound sentiment on
resolutions introduced just before the
holiday adjournment which would de-
clare it to be the sense of the senate
that the action of the president in ad-
dressing his note to the belligerent
powers represented "the overwhelm-
ing public sentiment and earnest de-
sires of the people of the United
States.
Want President Sustained.
Senator Hitchcock submitted two
resolutions on the subject on success
sive days, one of which was referred to
the committee on foreign relations and
the other permitted to lie on the SEN
called up for action tomorrow. 1t is
understood that the president would
