Some senators held the opinion that the country was rushing fast into crisis far more grave than has yet developed, and that when the House reassembled on Tuesday, government operation of the railroads, if not of the coal mines, would confront Con gress and the administration as the only way to save the country from acute distress.
 Senators See President.
 Republican leaders fresh from con- ferences with the President made no effort to disguise the pessimism win which they regarded the outlook. Re- 1uctant to talk publicly, they admit ted frankly however, that they were not expecting the Presidents latest proposal for a settlement of the rail- road strike to meet with success, and were prepared for him to appear be-. fore Congress next week, and ask for immediate legislative authority to keep trains moving.
 Some senators declared that the railways should be given a further pportunity to demonstrate whether they were able to run. themselves, before the government interfered, but even they conceded that it was not likely that any member of Congress would attempt to stand in the way of government operation once it were sh own that only by the President taking the roads over they could be kept going.
