Dyke continued. ITO be able to draw
up such a QUESTIONABLE tprobably with
the ability to answer 1t himselD shows
that Mr.. Edison must have nimble

Of questions can really serve as test
of mental capacity and vigor is TO mis-
take the mind for q storehouse OF dis
connected and unrelated facts. instead of

Secretary Davis Outlines
Trouble Encountered in Try
ing to Reach Agreement.

Special Despatch to The New YoRK HHraLD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., June 8.
Difficulties in bringing a settlement or
the marine strike that would close the
matter on a satisfactory basis were dis
cussed at the Cabinet meeting to-day.
Secretary OF Labor Davis went over the
long series of negotiations and outlined
the trouble encountered In getting an
agreement that would insure freedom OIL
and settle the situation Tor
at least a year.
1t was announced at the White House
following the meeting that an early
agreement was anticipated. 1t was In
dicated that settlement would come to-
morrow or early next week. 1t Is evil
dent that the Administration through
Secretary of Labor Davis will insist
upon some form of agreement between
the unions and the ship owners, 1nciud-
ing the Shipping Board
Ship owners and many Shipping Board
officials are not in accord with this
and 1t is this fact which
has caused much of the difficulty In
reaching an agreement. Should the
agreement be forced at least one resig-
nation from the board may be expected.
