PRESIDENT TOOK HAND.
Issued an Appeal to the Patriotism Of
Disputants.

Washington, ID. c., March l7.-Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday called upon the
railroad managers and chiefs of the EN-,
ployes' brotherhoods as patriotic men to
reopen the questions at issue between
them and prevent general interruption
of railway traffic sin this time of ma
tional peril"
The presidents message, an appeal for
adjustment of differences and a solemn
protest against strike, was sent after
he and the cabinet had approved a pro-
posal of the Council of National Defense
that it send committee to New York to
undertake mediation between the rail
roads and their employees. At the same
time, the committee, Secretaries Lane
and Wilson. Daniel Willard, president of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and Sam
uel Gompers, president OF the American
Federation of Labor, started for New
York to seek immediate conferences with
representatives of both sides.
The president is confident that there
will be no strike. However, he already
is considering what may be done if his
appeal TO the patriotism of the men in
volved is futile. Legal officers of the
government are studying the problem to
determine what measures will be lawful
not only in an effort to keep food sup
plies and the mails moving, but to deal
with an even more serious situation il
the country should be drawn into war.
The latter phase is being given only mi
nor attention, however, as officials are
satisfied that if war came the loyalty OF
all the railroad men could be depended
upon.
Prior to taking up the question with
the Council of National Defense, the
president had been informed that the
leaders of the employers and employees
were waiting in New York to see wheth-
ar he would take action, and had also
been told of reports that at least some
Of the brotherhood members were not |
ready to abide by last years strike vote.
President Wilson's appeal to the rail |
-oad men and managers was as follows:
81 deem il my duty and right to ap- |
PEAL to YOU in this time of national per-
! to open again the questions at issue
between the railroads and their opera
ives with a view to accommodation or
settlement.
with my approval a committee of the
Iouncil of National Defense-is about to
eek conference with you with that end
n view.
"A general interruption of the railway
raffic Of the country at this time would
ntail a danger TO the nation against
which | have the right to enter my most
olemn and earnest protest.
ut is now the duty of every patriotic
nan to bring matters of this sort TO i'm
Mediate accommodation. The safety of {
he country against the manifest perils
fecting its own peace and the peace of
he whole world makes accommodation ,
bsolutely imperative and seems to me ,
o render any other choice or action in 1
nncnirah he . :.

BOMB CARRIER WAS
PROBABLY A VICTIM
Other Man Killed in Boston Courthouse
Explosion Was the Janitor of
the Building.

I Boston, March 1.-THE mystery of the
bomb explosion in the Suffolk county
courthouse late yesterday afternoon was
as deep mystery as ever to-day One
OF the two men killed is known to have
been Louis A. Zelnger, the janitor of the
building, but the other is still unidenti-
fled. After working all night on the case,
the police officials expressed the belief
that the unidentified victim was the one
who brought the bomb to the courthouse.
The State House and the city hall were
guarded with unusual vigilance to-day.
The object of the bomber is uncertain,
but the fact that Judge William A. Lor-
ing's session of the supreme judicial
court was only 25 feet removed from the
ante-room in which the explosion oc-
CURED indicated to the authorities that
this may have been the mark for which
the bomb was intended. 1t Is thought
the explosion was premature and that
the bomb was dropped while being car.
ried to the door which opened into the
supreme court corridor.
Except for the shattering of windows
no damage was done in Judge Loring's
court, which was in session. The ante
room where the explosion occurred and
the lavatory adjoining were the only
parts of the structure to suffer material
lv. There was great excitement through
out the structure, where many court
were sitting, but order was quickly re-
stored. Girl stenographers tainted,
jury which was locked up for deliberation
in room over the explosion clamored
for release. and court officer collapsed.
The unidentified dead man apparently
was foreigner, probably of southern
European origin, Associate Medical Ex-
aminer w. T. Waters announced The
clothing contained nothing which would
assist in identifying him in any way.

the expense attached thereto will Sc

The action affects the railroads
throughout the state, according to the
trainmen. They believe that not more

waIk-out. The bill alleges that the joint
