Secretary Lane and Mr. Willard held

arrival of their conferees.
The brotherhood chiefs refused to dis
cuss for publication their probable at
titude They admitted however, that
they had sent no message to President
Wilson in response to his plea that

The managers committee made public
however, telegram sent the president
n which they assured him they would
cooperate in IAN earnest effort to
avert the national calamity which
would result from an interruption of
railroad service"
Both sides to the conflict continued
the policy of reticence they had main
tanned all day. The managers We're
making plans to combat the strike if it
IS not to be averted through the eff
'orts of President Wilson's representa-
lives, and the brotherhood leaders were

have been made to meet any emer-

Both sides expressed willingness to
renew their joint conferences but Meth

lines at 7 o'clock, eastern time, tomor
row night unless the council of defense
mediators could bring to bear suffi

the declaration of freight embargoes
designed to clear their lines in prepara-
ton for emergencies.
One of the most drastic embargoes
was announced by the New York, New
Haven and Hartford, whose lines are
not included among those on which
freight employees, yard men and host
lers will be called out tomorrow and
Sunday. Not only was an embargo
placed in effect on all freight, but it
was announced that beginning tomor-
row night steering and dining car ser
vice would be abandoned and all pas
senger traffic carried in day coaches.
Reports of disaffection among the
members of the brotherhoods because
OF patriotic objections to involving the
government in difficulties through a
strike were denied by L. G. Griffing,
vice president of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. He said that as
far as the eastern territory was con-
cerned he was in a position to state
that the railroad men had resolved to
strike for an eight hour day and pro
rata overtime pay and that no dissen-
sion existed.

when We are on the verge of a de-
cision respecting the legality of the
Adamson law and when We stand face
to face with the probability OF a war
which will tax all our energy, it seems
to me that in speaking of the plans of
the brotherhood leaders to tie up the
transportation industry of the country
the people are justified in using a
stronger term than 'ill-advised.
ITO me it seems incredible that the
rank and file of brotherhood members
would respond to a strike call which
must have the universal condemnation
of the patriotic citizens of this coun-

KENTUCKY FEUDISTS

From the hills of Breathitt county,
Ky" Bloody Breathitt"- thou
sand stalwart sons have gone forth
to war. Three times as many are
ready to go if they are needed. Since
the great war began, the county
made famous by feudists has given
one-fourth of its voters. Families
that have fought one another for
years have given their sons to march
side by side in the common cause
of civilization.
The old feud spirit of Breathitt
is gone. From its ashes has arisen
the spirit of patriotism and the peo-
pie of the Kentucky hills "want to
see Germany and the kaiser licked"
They have no sympathy for the Ger
man people. "The people of coun-
try amt no better than their ruler"
remarked one old mountaineer, eff
they don't like the way he rules they
orter have the gumption to kick him

More Volunteers Than Some States.
Breathitt county, with a population
of only $4,000, has given more vol
unteers than Arizona, Delaware, New
Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont
or Wyoming. The mothers love their
sons the same as do any other moth
ers, but they watch the boys go and
say, "Take ker yerself and shoot
straight" The fathers follow the Gus
tom of the mountains and say moth
ing.
One of the remarkable things
about Breathitt county is that prac-
tically every man who has offered
his services has been accepted as ply
sically fit. The rugged life of the
mountains has kept them in perfect
condition. There are many persons
in that section whose ages reach the
hundred mark. The families contain
from 10 to Is healthy children. The
mountain people declare that the
men from Breathitt will give a good
account of themselves.
