WASHINGTON, April lS.-Prcsdcnt
Wilson has advised the Industrial
Board and the Railway Administration
to reopen negotiations regarding price
stabilzing. The advice was contained
IN cablegram received at Secretary

count Of the Secretary's absence its
text was not given out 1t was COM
municatod to the Industrial Board.
which authorized the statement that
the cablegram advised that the dis
putants make another effort to find
common ground. Secretary Eedhcld's
cablcgram to the President, which
elected this advice, asked whether the
industrial Board should disband now
or remain quicscent until his return.
The price stabilzing enterprise on
which Secretary Redfield set great
store has now made the complete cir
cult and is back right where it was
two months ago
Immediately on receipt Of the cable
gram Chairman Peek Of the Industrial
Board wrote to MIR Hines suggesting
a new conference with a view to max
ing an effort to find some common
ground. Mr. Hines Is absent from
Washington, and no one in the Rail
way Administration would speak for
him to-day,
Members Of the Industrial Board
arc inclined to take the Presidents
cablcgram as support of their po-
sition. Whereas they merely asked
him TO say whether they should dis
band at onco or 60 on the inactive
list until his return, ho directs them
to renew their efforts TO overcome
difficulties j is believed that the
President has been largely influenced
by the cablcgram sent to him by Or.

and 1s known to be strongly Of tho
opinion that the Industrial Board. if
not obs'1ucted within the government,
can accomplish much good.
According to reports IN Washington

AN imr ortant development of the

nevertheless certain that due attention
should be given TO the statement is
sued by the National Wholesale Dry
Goods Association, at It's meeting this
week, to the effect that the bottom
has been reached. The jobbers also
declare that scarcity is apparent in
several lines, and in view of this con
dition they predict not only the main
tnahce OF present prices but also q
movement toward higher levels
"Further weight is given to this pro.
nouncement by the Willingness of the
wholesalers, as evinced at their meet
