Wilson's Proclamation Prepared
and Will Be Made Public After
Talk with Brotherhood Chiefs
TRANSPORTATION MEN
ENTER NO OBJECTION
Quoted as Saying the Sooner Step
Is Taken Better 1t VIII Be for All
Concerned

The nations transportation facili-
ties will be taken over by the president
of the United States on December 81,
is the statement made Tuesday night
in high circles. While no confirmation
was forthcoming from the White
House. the information given the New
York Times is that the president has
finallyNdecided upon this step to solve
the increasing railroad congestion. His
proclamation has been prepared, it
is said, and is ready to be made public
after his conference with representa-
tives Of the big four brotherhoods and
railroad presidents later in this week
Obstacles to Meet
While there are several obstacles
that still exist against the carrying
out Of the plan as proposed, 1t is au-
.thoritatively said that the president is
hopeful of overcoming still existing diff
ficulties by next Friday. The presi-
dent is reported to be confident that
the railroad presidents will agree to
the conversations the railroad shall
receive before he acts under authority
conferred into the act Of August 20,
1915, and if such an agreement can be
obtained the financial questions that
must be settled by additional legisla-
ton will be comparatively easy.
An immediate problem before the
government is the demand of the big
brotherhoods for increased wages. The
president proposes to obtain a COM
piete agreement with the officials OF
the brotherhoods when they go to
Washington Thursday at his request
as to their attitude on wages when
the roads come under government con-
troll.
Will Be Loyal
The report in Washington Tuesday
night was that these officials are pre-
pared to assure the president that they
will Loyalty support the government
and that a satisfactory adjustment
over wages can be made without en-
barrassing the governments manage
ment Of the roads.
