InY Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. C., June ).
President Wilson in telegram to
officials of the railroad brotherhoods
criticized congress for failing to
take action with regard to the high
cost of living, conclusion peace and
important domestic legislation. The
telegram was in reply TO a message
asking the president to prevent al.

president said that in the light of the
record Of the present congress q
have no reason whatever to hope
that its continuance in session would
result in constructive measures for
the relief OF economic conditions to
which you call attention 1t must
be evident to all that the dominating
motive which has actuated this
congress is political expediency
rather than a lofty purpose to serve
