WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Attorney
General Palmer today was studying
the railroad situation to be prepared
to act in case he Is asked to inter
vene in the controversy between the
railroad administration and fourteen
railroad unions demanding 1mmedi-
ate wage increases.
The railroad administration re-
CARDS az illegal the order sent to
800 900 maintenance Of way workers
to hold themselves. in readiness to
quit work February II unless their
demands are met.
Officials Of the union here today
were planning an appeal to President
Wilson over the head Of Rail Director
Hines as a last resort. they said. be-
fore putting the strike into effect.
Meanwhile, Hines was to meet
with officials Of all the unions to
give them an answer to their com
munication handed him late yester-
day. .e..
Hines later was to have separate
conference with President w. G. Lee
OF the Brotherhood OF Railway Train
men, who refused to sign the COM
munication. Although Lee refused to
discuss the details of the communi-
cation, 1t Is understood he objected
to 1t on the grounds 1t might cause
delay in negotiations.
President Wilson has not given
Hines any advice as how to proceed,
it was learned today at the white
house. After his conferences with
the union representatives., Hines will
submit to the president a report on
the situation. 1t is thought likely
Hines will try to see the president
before night ..r
According to President L. e. Shep-
ard of the Order of Railway Conduc-
tors, the unions are determined to
act If their demands are not met.
Railroad administration officials
say privately they do not believe the
unions will strike. They are making
every preparation, however, to meet
a strike situation If 1t develops.
Hines answer to the demands OF
the union will be delivered at gen
eral conference late today, 1t Is
planned. Although Hines has given
no direct indication what the an
swer will be, the belief is entertained
that the full demands OF the workers
will not be met.
A delegation of maintenance Of
way employees who voted to strike
FEB. IT, arrived here today from De-
troit, Members Of the delegation
met with Vice President
Malloy, of their brotherhood, who Is
one Of the union leaders, to meet
Hines this afternoon at which time
the men expect to receive the answer
10 their demands.
