When the cabinet met on October
5, Joseph P. Tumulty, private secre-
tary to the president, issued formal
statement explaining the reasons for
the conference. He said:
"The cabinet was called to consider
questions in which more than one de-
partment was concerned and also to
discuss the industrial conference. He
referred to the first conference called
by the president with the hope of al
laying the industrial unrest"
In his statement, Mr.. Tumulty said
that Rear Admiral Grayson, Mr.. Will
sons physician, was present and 'sug-
gested that only urgent matters be
brought to- the presidents attention.
Thereafter until this week, the cabi-
net met more or less regularly. Dur
ing the coal strike it met twice a
week in an effort to avert the walk
out of the miners and several weeks
ago it was decided to have meetings
every Tuesday and Friday.
During the coal wage controversy
the president was said at the White
House to have been advised of the
meetings and to have been kept in
formed as to the progress his advis.
ers were making towards a settle.

took the matter out of the cabinets
hands and suggested a settlement
which the miners accepted.

BROTHERHOOD REPLY
AND WILSON'S PLAN
ARE BOTH ANNOUNCED

Washington, Feb. 14.-Followine
delivery of the reply of the brother
hood chiefs to President Wilson, the
labor conference telegraphed inme'
diately to A. E. Barker, president Of
the maintenance of way employees and
shop men, and advised him to call of
the strike.
It is understood Mr.. Barker was
informed the proposed strike would
gravely embarrass the position Of
the other railroad organizations.
Washington, Feb. 14.-The rail-
road employees representatives have
agreed to accept the recommesda-
tion of President Wilson to hold
their wage demands in allegiance tenn
porarily, it was announced today.
President Wilson informed the
men of his intention to appoint a
commission of wage experts to 60
thoroughly into their claims. On
this basis, the, union leaders agreed
to delay further demands for in
creased wages and called a conven-
tion of their general committeeman
to be held in Washington Febru-
ary %.
The union leaders reply to the
Presidents proposal to handle the
controversy in this manner did not
end the question finally. They made
it; clear that they desired word from
officials who are in closer touch with
their membership than they, the
delegates who have been conferring
with Director General Hines since
February 8.
AS one part of his reply the pres
ident requested the maintenance of
way men to withdraw their strike
order. -, q
The PRESIDENT set forth these
principles" asaNering the manner
III which the grievances of the union
could be dealth with:
Wilson's Plan.
''In event that in connection with
the return to private control provi-
sion shall be made by law for ma
chinery for dealing with railroad
wage matters. shall promptly use
my influence. and so far as such
law confers power upon me I shall
promptly exercise that power to
bring about the earliest practicable
organization of the machinery thus
provided.
"In the even that no such pro-
vision is made by law for dealing
with these matters, I shall employ
the influence of the executive to get
the railroad companies and the rail-
read employees to join promptly in
the creation of a tribunal to take up
these problems and carry them to
a conclusion"
The union answer to this proposal
was reiteration of their previous
statement demanding immediate re-
lief. They urged that the president
not require them to await the crea-
tion of a tribunal by legislation.
They warned that they did not be-
lieve the railroad employees would be
willing to accept any plan which
contemplated delay.

DENIAL OF GENERAL
WAGE INCREASE is
BELIEF IN CAPITAL

Washington, Feb. 13.-"President
Wilson gave no indications, as far as
appearance was concerned, of a man
who has been i'll for MONTHS" said
Timothey Shea, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers, after the conference
at the White House.
"His gestures were decided, his
enunciation absolutely clear, and he
frequently smiled"
Mr.. Wilson shook hands with the
committeeman before and after the
brief conference. They said his grip
was firm.
Mr.. Shea, who conferred with Mr.
Wilson when the strike of 1917 was
threatened said the president look
ed much the same today as he did
then. His face is full, his color heal
thy and his eyes clear, said Mr.. Shea.
Washington, Feb. 13. 3.-Indications
that there would be no independent
strike of railroad trainmen were
given late today when President w.
G.. Lee announced after a lengthy
conversation with Director General
Hines, that his organization "was
bound by the White House decision" :,
applicable to all the railroad unions.
The trainmen had acted independent
ly in cancelling their wage contract,
Elective February 25.
Mr. Lee said he had given Mr..
Hines the trainmen's reply in the
wage negotiations and would not see
the director general again. There will
by meeting later of the trainmen's
committee, after which they will go
home.
An "unalterable" decision in the
railorad wage controversy was made
today by President Wilson in con-
ference with representatives of the
brotherhoods. The president said the
governments policy twas based on
justice to all interests"
The presidents decision was not
announced at the White House. Of
ficials said it was "a decision con-
tanning a proposal" From this it was
assumed the president had refused
to grant general wage increases, but
had made a counter-proposition to
the men.
The brotherhood men would not
say what the proposal was, Timothy
Shea, acting president of the Broth
erhood of Firn1en and Enginemen,
announcing that they would make no
statement today.
To "Put 1t Up to Men"
B. M. Jewell, president of the rail-
way department of the American
Federation of Labor, announced that
the presidents proposal would have
to be "put up to the men" before any
announcement could be made by the
union representatives.
The White House was expected to
issue a statement later in the day.
Meanwhile there was no intimation
whether the president had offered a
substitute for an increase in wages
in the nature of a continuation OF
the fight on the high cost of living
or whether he has asked the -yor':cr
to delay pressing their demands IL
til the railroads were returned to ~:
private owners March /.
Besides Mr.. Jewell and Mr.. Shea,
E. j. Manion, president of the Or
der of Railway Telegraphers, was
present at the conference. The pres
ident met the representatives on the
south portico of the White House and
read a statement which he had pre-
pared after a study of the report on
the wage negotiations presented to
him by Director General Hines.
