Wi Wilson Breaks
Precedent to
Greet Envoys
Saturday, Hitherto Kept
Free of Appointments,
Devoted to Reception of
Diplomats Credentials

WASHINGTON, May 15.-President
Wilson established another White
House precedent to-day when he re-
ceived two members of the diplomatic
corps. Previous to the Presidents ILL
ness, Saturdays invariably have been
held free of appointments
The President received the japanese
Ambassador, Kijuro Shidehara, at II
O'Clock this morning. During the ff-
teen minutes given the ambassador his
official credentials as the Mikado's 3
representatives here were rendered to
Nh. Wilson. Ambassador Shdehara
was presented by Secretary Of State
Colby.
Immediately thereafter the Presi-
dent received Prince Casimir Lubomir-
ski the. Polish Minister, who was pre-
sented by Assistant Secretary of State
Long. This meeting also continued for
fifteen minutes.
Shows knowledge of Events
The President received the diplo-
mats in the Blue Room on the main
floor of the White House After formal
greetings were exchanged, the Presi-
dent still sitting, launched into an
animated discussion Of current events,
with particular reference to develop
ments in Japan and Poland. Both
diplomats were said to have been i'm
pressed with the accurate knowledge
the President displayed of current
topics, denoting that whatever changes
his illness may have wrought. it had
not lessened his grasp of internatio ional
affairs.
1T is with deepest. lasting affec-
ton, indeed" Prince Lubomrski de-
clared in his speech to the President,
that the people of Poland look to you.
who was the first statesman publicly
my country to be united, to be indie
pendent and to have access to the sea,
in those state papers whose solemn
phrases will be uttered for generations
to come with gratitude and with rev.
erence."
In earlier days, the minister said, the
United States had offered "boundless
hospitality" to Polish nationals who
sought to 'be free to work out their
destinies as they desired" They found
here ne added, warm and genuine re-
cen.lon in the memory of Kosciusko's
courage and Pulasli's sacrifice" and
IN turn demonstrated an intense 10y
atty "to the flag, the customs and the
institutions of the nation that had
opened its arms to the exied and the
oppressed"
Receptions to Continue
The President will continue to re-
ceive the members of the Diplomatic
corps until all who have been prevented
from personally presenting their ere
oentials because of his Hines have been
received: Two days week probably will
be decided upon by the President to
devote to receptions of ambassadors
and ministers. The order in which
the foreign representatives are re-
celved by Mr.. Wilson is determined by
the length of time they have been serv-
ing IN Washington as ambassadors
appointed" and ministers "appointe l."

Railroads Ask
I. C.. C.. to End
Freight Tieup
fCsntinued from pxse eps)

ton. ut was stated that more than
100000 freight ears loaded with mer-
chandise were at present stalled in the
environs of the city.
The situation in the vicinity Of New
York has inspired the prediction by
Edward I. Hannah, president of the
Central Federated Union, that at least
300 900 men will be thrown out of work
if the commercial interests do not soon
obtain their wares. Already, he said,
$500 cement workers. are idle and
others are being laid off in large num-
bers as stocks give out.
Railroad offic ais, however, say they
are moving freight as quickly az pos
sible, considering the alleged shortage
of cars, and that they are in some cases
moving as much and more than before
the strike trouble. The New York
Central reports that conditions on its
lines are practically normal, full yard

bitter -anders Of the insurgents. The
conditions on the New Jersey side.
however, were not so favorable. two of
the roads reporjing that only about
80 per cent Of the normal amount of
freight handled was being moved. This
was attributed to the lack Of floating
equipment, which has been tied up by
the marine strike.
Conflicting opinions were expressed
by authorities as to the effect of the
strikes here on the price and quantity
of foodstuffs. The Merchants Associa-
tion issued statement that the inter
ruption Of steamship, railway and truck
service has sent the price of food prod
ucts skyrocketing, while A. w. Frost,
chairman Of he transportation commit
tee of the Fruit and Produce Trade
Association, said the disturbances were
prices.
Fears No Food Famine
The Merchants Association points

Is they were selling for SIS bushel.
Mr.. Frost says that because of the
longshoremen strike on the piers of
the Clyde Line, potatoes have been ar
riving from the South by rail. The
difference in cost between the two
methods Of transportation was a mat
ter Of about 20 cents barrel. There
fore. he contended, the high prices
asked certainly cannot be blamed upon
the strike.
Mr. Frost added that there was alb
solutely no danger of food famine.
Receipts Of fruit and produce, he said,
are now 100 per cent normal and
the higher prices could only be attrib-
uted to hsortage of crops and in
creased cost of production.
AS evidence of the great wastage and
boost in prices that is resulting from
the chaotic transportation conditions,
the Merchants Association cited the
case of a Norfolk farmer who lost
10000 barrels of spinach when the
Old Dominion Line went out Of bust
ness because of the longshoremen' 5
strike" They further pointed o2t that
California cartaloupe growers are ap-
pealing for cars and assert that unless
these are forthcoming the Imperial
Valley crops will be lost
