Dy OHllGu IIbSo,
Washington, Feb. Secretary
Tumulty conferred with Director
Hines of the railroads this morning
and obtained Hines statements a,
to the railroad controversy, which
statement he will place before the
president
President Wilson is not likely t.
reach decision on the matter be-
fore Thursday, it is indicated The
putting of the question before the
president will stop the strike OF 500,
coo maintenance employees, according
TO President John Malloy of the
brotherhood
"Tae oGlv thing that viii avert
strike is the granting of the demands
made by the workers" said Mallory
According to Mallory travel on the
reads will become dangerous as soon
as the strike becomes effective.
The appeal to the president is TAX
en- at the request Of the union lead
crs after they had conferred with
Mr.. Hines and after ae had informed
them there was no hope of an agree
lrent.
The president thus is called upon
10 determine whether the govern
1ent will grant the increased wages
or transfer the wage demand con
1roversy to the corporations soon t
regain control CT their properties.

Ments TO the president while tempo

planned Neither members of Mr..
Hines staff nor the union spokes-
men indicated they felt that dead

sions we're ended. Regardless Of
the presidents decision, the differ
ences could be ironed out after re-
turn of the railroads through ma
chinery likely to be set up by pend
ing legislation, it was explained.
Mr.. Hines said the union represen- (
tatives had presented their views
with ability and frankness,' and
that, while the conferences sad not !
solved the problems before it, the
real issues involved now were more
clearly developed than at any time
since the wage demands were first
presented last July. In explanation

the executives OF the labor organi
