Washington, March 15.-President
Wilson was notified Immediately to-
night of the calling of the strike, and
he began consideration of the steps
which might be taken to avert it.
Although the president has been

vealed had made no definite plans for

would be made as soon as officials
were full advised.

is that the president will make an ap-
peal to the patriotism of the men, urg-
ing them not to tie up transportation
facilities with the country facing a
great international crisis.
