gathered around the president and
talked earnestly with him about the
situation in their respective unions
The president jOked with them and
seemed in excellent spirits.
His visitors told him they had been
missing him in the last six months and
hoped he would be getting back into
active work soon.
Mr.. Wilson, appreciative of their So
lleltude said he hoped so, too, as, he
was eager to summon all the strength
he could for all the battles ahead of
him in the next few months.
Mr.. Wilson had his decision prepared
IN writing and read it to the represent
tatives of the brotherhood. They took
1t away with them for consideration
promising an answer in "a hours.
The railroad men told correspondents
afterWard that the president looked
well" and seemed alert mentally. Their
interview was a brief one-not more
than five or ten minutes-and the first
conference Mr. Wilson has had in many
weeks. 1t has been months since he
received any delegation, his visits hav-
ing been confined TO cabinet officers
and one or two senators.

Not Much of a Strain.

The visit of the railroad men was
not much of a strain however, as the
president, in consultation with Direc-
tor-General Hines. had a memorandum
ready for the spokesman Of the broth
cThoOdS.
AS a matter of fact, the whole rail-
road controversy has the. appearance
Of stage play. Within a fortnight the
railroads are to go back to private
control. The railroad employees fear
reduction in wages, or at least no fur
Their advances in wages.
They have succeeded in persuadng
the cOnferees of the senate and house
to omit the antistrike provisions Of
railroad legislation and provide for vol
untary settlement of future disputes.
But they fail to see why congress
should be providing high guarantee
of dividends to the owners OF railroad
stocks and at the same time no pro-
vision is made for increases in wages TO
them.
The. unsoundness of the claim is,
however explained by officials Of the
railroad administration, who say the
owners of securities will be getting
relatively less for the money they get
on dividends than are the railroad
brotherhoods out of their wages.
There is, indeed, a good deal of rest
leSSneSs among the snop laborers and
classes Of WOrkmen engaged in main
tenance of way, and a strike among
them is still possible, though that
would not necessarily tie up all the

Completion Of the agricultural census

another two months.
