WASliiNGTON. November l4.-Oncc
again President Wilson has undertaken
personally to prevent a general rail-
road strike. He has called the heads
Of tho four great railroad brothcrhoods
to meet him in conference on November
-, and VIII insist that patriotism be
put ahead Of private interest: that
there be no attempt to handicap the
operation of vital part of tho ma
| tion's warmakinS machinery
The President is confident that moth
inG unpa,riotic will be done. but if tho
necessity arises. he is prepared To take
the required steps to prevent a tic-up
of transportation
In announcing to-day the coming
conference with the union chiefs, Judge
William l.. Chambers, chairman Of tho
Board Of Mediation and Cancellation.
made public a letter from the prcsi-
dent. which said:
1T is inconceivablc to me that
patriotic men should now for a mo-
ment contemplate the interruption Of
the transportation which is so abso-
iutely necessary to the safety OF tho
nation. The last thing ] should
wish TO contemplate would be tho pos
sibility of being obliged to take any
unusual measure 10 operate the rail
ways and ] have so much confidence
that the men YOU arc dealing with will
appreciate the patriotic motives under
lying your efforts that shall took
forward with assurance to your sue

GOVERNMENT HAS PLANS
FOR EMERGENCY OPERATION

At the time of the threatened strike
avcrted by the cight-hour law last
year, it was understood that the gov
ernment had developed plans for cmer-
gency operation Of the railroads, IL
that became necessary. Al that time
the United States was not at war.
President Wilson's letter was sent TO
Judge Chambers two weeks ago. be-
fore tho Mediation Board chairman LETT
for Cleveland. Ohio, to confer with the
union leaders. II is understood the
conferences held there were productive
OF substantial agreements. but that the
engineers. conductors. traiNmen and
flremcn were unwilling to commit
themselves Internationally to arbitra-
ton. although welcoming mediation.
An adjustment at the White House
conference next week is hoped for
which will dispose of the possibility of
a strike. at least for the duration Of
the war. either by an agreement to
submit the difficulties TO an arbitration
board. whose findings would be bind
ing, or by postponing wage contest
until the enemy overseas has been de-
fcatcd.
The Switchmen's Union of North
America has agreed to arbitration. and
IL is understood the order OF Railroad
Telegraphcrs also is willing 10 put
+heir case in the hands OF an impartial
tribunal
The new demands by the railroad
workers would add si03.000.oo0 yearly
% their pa1 envelopes, according to
calculations OF the railway manage
ments.
PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE
REVEALED TO CHAMBERS
The following letter from President
Wilson to Judge Chambers expresses
the Presidents attitude toward the
situation:
"My Dear Judge Chambers.-May ]
not express my very q cp and serious
interest in Your efforts to bring the
railroad executives and the brother
hoods engaged in train operation to
an agreement that there shall be no
interruption H. their relations on either
side until ample opportunity shall have
been afforded tho United States Board
of Mediation and Cancellation to bring
about, If possible, an amicable agree
mcnt. and that. in tho event of fail
ure. to bring about such an agreement
any controversy that may have arisen
will be submitted to arbitration in ac-
cordancc with the provisions of the
Ncwlands law?
81 take it for granted that your
efforts will succeed. because IL is in
conceivable to inc that patriotic men
should now for moment contemplate
tho interruption OF the transportation
which is so absolutely necessary TO
the safety Of the nation, and to it's
success in arms. Is we'll as to it's whole
Industrial life; but I wanted, never
thclcss, to express my deep personal
interest in the matter and TO wish
you Godspccd.
The last thing | should wish to con-
template would he tho possibility of
being obliged TO take any unusual
measures TO operate the railways. and
have so much confidence that the
men YOU arc dealing with will ap-
preciatc the patriotic motives under
lying your efforts that shall look
forward with assurance TO your success
CORDIALLY and sincerely yours,

section of the country has its favored
woods and these are said to be, in gener-
al, the right ones to use. Hickory, of
the non -resinous woods, has the highest
fuel value per unit volume of wood, and
has other advantages. 1t burns evenly,
and, as housewives say, holds the heat.
The oaks come next, followed by beech.
birch and maple. The white pines have
a relatively low heat value per unit
volume, but have other advantages. They
ignite readily and give out a quick hot
flame, but one that soon dies down. This
makes them favorites with rural house
keepers as summer wood, because they
are particularly adapted for hot days in
the kitchen. The same is true of gray
birch. or white BIRCH as it is often
called, in the regions in which it abounds.
With the resinous pines drawback is
their oily black smoke.
