Tieup Probable in Very Near
Future.

ingtOn.-President Wilson not
ifie,- Director General Hines that he
was authorized to take up the demands
OF railroad shop employees for higher
wages and decide them on their merits.
The president said that the letter
sent him by Senator CumminS. chair
man of the committee on interstate
commerce, had set me free to deal
a. | think best with the difficult ques-
ton of the wages of certain classes of
the railroad employees" but added:
The chief obstacle TO a decision
has been created by the men them
selves. They have gone out on a
strike and repudiated the authority of
their officers at the very moment when
they We're urging action in regard 10
their interests"
The presidents decision was an
nOunced from the White House in the
form of letter sent by him to Mr..
Hines. The president said that until
the employees return to work and
again recognize the authority of their
organization. the whole matter must
be at a standstill."
