RAILROAD WAGE
DISPUTE BEFORE
WILSON AGAIN

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
whole railroad wage controversy
was placed before President Wilson
today for the third time since rail-
road labor filed it's demands for a
general increase in wages last sum-
mer.
In letter to the president, B. M.
Jewell, chairman of the railway
committee which constitutes the
labor party on the railway wage
board, said he regretted very much
''to advise you of our failure to OBJ
tain any beneficial results from these
conferences%
The employees, Mr.. Jewell said,
were keenly disappointed at the po-
sition taken by the railway execu-
tives' committee which announced
last night a deadlock and the with
the conference.
Mr.. Jewell did not ask the presi-
dent to lay the wage controversy
before the railway labor board,
which is to be nominated by the
president as provided in the trans
portation act and on which the pub
lie will have representation.
Attached to Mr.. JEWELS letter
was correspondence setting forth the
attitude of the men and the eXecu-
tives committee. E. T. Whittier, for
the railway executives, wrote that
while an agreement as to wages
might be reached by direct negotia-
ton between representatives of the
roads and the men, the executives
did not believe congress contemplated
a settlement involving so great an
addition to transportation costs with
out the public being represented In
the conferences.
Replying to this letter, Mr.. Jewell
said he believed the reason given
by the managers for terminating the
negotiations was mot in accord with
our understanding of the law"
1.-THE attitude of your committee
IN falling TO carry out the wis os
of the president Of the United States
comes as a surprise to u.s." Mr..
Jewell wrote to Mr.. Whittier. ct
will result in keen disappointment
to our constituents as we'll as the
general public, both of whom are
parties at interest and entitled to
more consideration from the bf-par-
tisan board than you have elected
give.
I'VE understand from this that
YOUR committee HAS Infinitely uo
clined to asumef the responsibility
and perform the duty which is So
clearly desired in the public inter-
est, and which the transportation
act, as we understand it, contem-
plates, that of agreeing in confer
ence upon rates of pay for railroad
employees which are just and reason
able"
Union Officials reiterated that, at
the request of the president, they
were going along to give the trans
portation act a fair trial. although
they did not indorse any Of it's pro-
visions. They took the position that
with the breaking up of the joint
conference, the whole wage matter
was made more difficult since the
union membership was becoming

WASHINGTON, April .2.--Republi-
can leaders in congress will not be
able to muster enough votes to pass
their peace resolution over veto of
the president, leading house Demo
Gratis declared today after a can
vass.
Both Champ Clark, Missouri, Dem
ocratic floor leader, and Representa-
tive Flood, Virginia, ranking minor
ity member of the foreign affairs
committee, stated it would be impos-
sib1e for the Republicans to force the
resolution through by a two-thirds
majority necessary to- override a
veto.
President Wilson has indicated to
close advisers that he will not sign
the resolution, which, If Democratic
predictions as to the house vote are
true, means that a legal peace will
not come until the Senate and the
president have agreed on some kind
Of a treaty. This probably will not
be until after the elections. unless
the president yields to the senate
reservations.
Democrats Massing Forces
Democrats are massing their forces
for an attack on the resolution, when
it comes up in the house.
Pressure is being exerted by ad-
ministration leaders outside congress.
Homer Cummings, CHAIRMAN of the
Democratic national comnitte. is ex-
pected to confer with house leaders
during the next few days and urge
them to stand by the president.
\ The determination Of Democratic
party leaders to use the Republican
peace resolution against It's authors
as campaign material was evidenced
Democrats said today, by the state
ment Of Homer Cummings, chairman
Of the Democratic national commit

Attempt to Usurp Powers
Mr. Cummings, who said he had no
difficulty" finding out what Presi-
dent Wilson thought about things.
declared the peace resolution was
the lowest ebb of moral ineapacity
to which Republican leadership has
yet. sunk ,.i 49,.
He said it was an attempt to sur
render American honor and to usurp
powers which congress does not pos

Both parties therefore count on
making the peace resolution one of
their strong talking points in the
campaign. The Republicans intend
to pass it and then, if it is vetoed
