Western Union President
 May Be Summoned to
 Washington by Wilson

Washington June 1S-President Will son may summon Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union Tele- graph company to Washington for q conference on the controversy which has arisen between the company and the Commercial Photographers Union of Amer ica This was intimated after today S cabinet meeting, at which the matter was considered.
 The President is understood to have laid before the cabinet the letter of Pres ident Carlton, made public in New York today, in which the telegraph company reiterates it's opposition to allowing it's employees to affiliate with the telegraph CTS union.
 One of the portions of President Carl tcn's letter given consideration was that in which it was contended that the na tional war labor board which reviewed the case failed to reach a unanimous decision on it's recommendations In view of this it was considered possible the President after comforting with Presi- dent Carlton, might ask the labor board to reconsider the matter.
 The possibility of taking over the tele- graph lines in event of failure to settle the dispute, and . resultant strike. also is understood to have been considered Differences of opinion on the authority necessary for such action is known to exist among the Presidents advisers. some contending that special Legislation would have to be enacted, while others hold that the President could take over the lines as a war time necessity.

sued by the Southern railroad prohib- ting cotton buyers hereafter from us- ing the railroads platforms for the pur- pose of weighing and marketing cotton.
 WOULD MEAN EXPENSE
 It was urged upon the officials that the enforcement of this order would necessitate the construction of platforms in many small towns at an expense which would finally be shifted to the farmer and that the lumber and labor necessary to construct these platforms could be used for better purpose more directly connected with the prosecution of the war. Since the government has taken over the railroads it has decided that it will no longer be responsible for cotton left on it's platforms unless there is a bill of lading issued, and the cotton intended for immediate shipment. At many places in the south there has been an old custom or allowing buyers and others to use the platform to suit thels but this will now be stopped unless the order referred to is rescinded.
 Officials here have taken the matter under advisement and may modify the order so as to avoid if possible incon- venience to both the farmer and the buyer and to prevent the cost of con structing these platforms being placed on the cotton producer.

 These men, many of whom were anna teurs in the game of soliciting war con- tracts, promised to use their influence with government officials, army officers or members of Congress to assure the awarding of contracts to special con- cerns, and in turn were to receive com pensation if the contracts were landed
