from Tuesdays Daily.

FROM lueSdayS Daily.
New York, March 13.-Information
was received by the national confer
ence committee, composed of the
managers of the great railway sys-
TENS and made public by that body
today, which indicates that the four
brotherhoods have completed arrange
ments for progressive series OF
strikes to begin at six o'clock east
ern time Saturday night if the con-
ference on the eight-hour question
here Thursday fails to reach sat-
isfactory agreement. The proposed
strike program, according to this in
formation, calls for a daily widening.
Beginning Saturday the eastern freight
men will be called out. Tuesday the
call extends to the northwestern
group, including the Hill roads and al.
those entering Chicago. II the mems
demands are not granted by Wednes-
day all freight and passenger train
men on every road in the country will
be called out.
Letter to the President.
Washington, March 13.-The rail-
road brotherhoods on March wrote
President Wilson, it became known
today, formally notifying him of the
conference with the railroad represen-
tatives scheduled for March Is. In
the letter the brotherhood leaders
said they were hopeful of making a
satisfactory adjustment pending the
questions, and if while negotiating
with the railroads the nation became
involved in war they would cooperate
to the fullest extent with the govern
ment.
Strike Order Issued.
UNITED Press Dispatch.]
Bellevue, Ohio, March ia strike
order, calling out the men operating
the Nickel Plate railroad, next Satur-
day night at six o'clock, has been
printed and is in the hands of the To-
cal brotherhood officials here.
Washington, March 13.-The
United States board of Cancellation
and mediation, which last summer
failed to effect an agreement between
the two sides in the railroad wage
controversy, is on hand and will try
again to bring about an agreement
that will avert a strike.
No information at Washington.
Neither President Wilson nor Sec
rotary Wilson of the department of
labor had any official information to-
day regarding the intention of the
brotherhoods to strike unless salts
factory agreement was reached at
Thursdays conference, An investi-
cation will be begun through govern
mental agencies, however. Govern
ment officials regarded it as incon-
ceiYable that there should be a nation
wide strike at this time. While no
plans have been mapped out it is gen.
orally taken for granted that the
president will use his utmost efforts
to prevent such strike.
New York, March 13-It is MOTTO
ed that the railroads have been MAX
ing no preparations for the big
strike that is threatened to begin
next Monday.
