WAGE DISPUTE
Up TO WILSON
Two Million Railroad Employees Put
Their Case in the Presidents
Hands
CAssoc1ated Press)

Washington, Feb. 12.-The DISPOSE
ton of the wage demands of two mil
lion railroad employees is in President
Wilson's hands today. The matter was
referred to the president after Direc-
ter General Hines of the railroad ad-
ministration and representatives of
the men failed to reach an agree
ment. How long the president will
require to consider the matter is
probIematical, but it is believed he
will take but short time.
The matters referred to the presi-
Gcnt didn't include the grievances of
the trainment and Mr.. Hines has ar
ranged to confer further today with
President Lee of the trainmen's broth
erhood, and will also meet a commit
tee representing maintenance of way
employees, whose officers have called a
strike effective February 18th.

denly sharp breeze blew some o. his
papers down the mountainside. As
these were some of his most treasured
works he picked up his painting ma
terials and rushed after them. Swift
Iy, but cautiously, he made his way

eye. He became discouraged and wa>

The Wilson warbler is the champion
dy.catcher Of the United States. His
method of getting most of his food is
to dash out from the limb Of tree
and snatch passing insects on the
wing, says the American Forestry as

other insects which are fitting about
or sitting on the foliage or blossoms Of
the trees. You will often find these
little birds in apple trees when in
bloom. Their olive green and yellow
plumage harmonizes with the green
leaves of the tree. The male bird
has a black crown patch on the top
Of It's head. while on the female this
cap is greenish like the back. This
bird IS found throughout the eastern
