Dor union representatives could have been
expected than was given by Presi6ent
Wilson. when upon being urged to inyes-
tigate the claims Of the railroad exseu-
tives or TO submit them TO congress he
declined to do either. 1t is alainly sxi-
dent that there is no reason fer the eFes-
ident to take action IN a matter which it
does not appear as yet cannot be ID
iusted otherwise There have been ss7
tablished means under the lay fer the
settlement Of just such questions. 1t is
true that the railway executives Do net
desire to await the time that will be re-
quired for such a seiutien. maintaining
that quick action in ending the national
agreements is needed in order to s4piS
bankruptcy. but Il is perhaps quite as
unreasonable that there should be 4 de-
