OF freight throughout the
country, but would be useless if the
railroad workers decided they would
stop.
Leaders Of the workers located here
reiterated to-day that delay in grant
ing the men substantial increases is to
blame for the unrest among them and
their desertlons to other lines of work.
They say unless conditions are changed
the situation Will grow continually
worse. Gripping business and perhaps
causing hardship TO the public. TIE
coal mines even now are suffering be-
cause they cannot get cars. they said,
and, as a result, consumers are pay
ing more for their coal, are unable to
lay in reserves for winter and are
threatened with d shutdown OF the
utilities that serve them.
W. \. Doak, e-president Of the
Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen
went to Chicago to-day 20 confer with
other brotherhood officials there.
The Laboard alone can head off
nationwide tie-up of freight transpor-
tation.' said McMenimenfi after his
visit TO the White House
"Oficiais of the railroad employees
will be helpless to hold the men if an
award is not handed down by the
board by the end of this week" ne
added. The patience of the employees
has been exhausted We have resorted
to every device. 1t is now up to she

Sensing trouble. Mr. McMnimen
says. he went personally to members
OF Congress just before adjournment
and laid the facts before them.
No Excuse for Delay
Il succeeded in having so members
Of the House and Senate send as many
kilograms to the Labor Board urging
speedy action on the wage awards, "
McMenimen said. The Labor Board
denies telegram was received from
President Wilson. saw the telegram
that was sent to the board urging early
action on the awards.
There is no excuse for delay. The
board has in its possession all facts,
figures and other data gathered by the
railroad administration on the subject
o fwages. The only thing left for them
to do is to make final decision.
"Our hands will be clean if the coun-
try is tied up next week because of

mold mass meeting TO lay before the
public the true side OF The present
railroad situation and just what means
have been employed to bring the pres
ent controversy to a successful con-
clusion."
The City Council, Board of Trade
Chamber of Comm merce, Railway Club
and Manufacturers Association have
been invited to send representatives to,
the meeting.
Judge Parton denied reports that
the board faced deadlock because OF
the widely divergent opinions Of the
members representing the roads and
the men. Admitting that there was a
natural difference Of opinion as to
what increases should be granted, the
chairman said no unsulmountable dif-
ticulties had been encopntered
Publication in Washington Of the
text Of President Wilson's message ask
ing the board to expedite its award
cleared up the mystery which had sur
rounded the telegram, receipt Of which
board. Judge Barton, after reading
the published text, announced that the
message was sent to him last Monday
marked personal and confidential" "
and that he had therefore withheld it
from the rest of the board
Judge Barton declined to make pub
lie his answer, but said he would be
glad to have the President do so.
The request embodied in the Prcsi-
dents message that, if a complete
award could not be made at this time,
a partial settlement" be announced,
could not be asted on, Judge Barton
said, as the hundred or more separate
schedules are all related and it may
be necessary to revise awards tenta-
lively decided on when an the figures
are compiled.
Strikes Largely in East
Reports compiled here show that the
present wave of strikes, unauthorized
by the brotherhood chiefs, is confined
largely to the Atlantic seaboard. In
the Central West there have been helf
a dozen minor wakouts during the
past ten days with less than 100 men
involved in each case, and without eX-
ception the strikers have returned 10
work after a day or two. Chicago.
Burlington &, Quincy men, who struck
at Quincy. H., Wednesday returned to
work to-day
The question of what to do with
the strikers will be one of the sub
jects considered at the meeting of
brotherhood chiefs tomorrow. When
the walkouts started here April the
brotherhoods retaliated by forfeiting
the charters of the unions affected In
this manner more than 10000 railroad
workers have been expelled from the
unions, brotherhood heads say, and
they consider it useless to consider
