Laying Plans far Strike.
Ptvm vupatcni
Washington. Aug. 30,—-Congress
weut to work under pressure today to
prevent by legislation the railway
strike called for next Munduy.
It was not assured that even tf
measure proposed by President Wil-
son In his address to congress yester-
day can be passed in the five .lays re-
maining, they will be effective in
forestalling the walkout.
In general, hr.4herh.Ksl lenders In-
truded to fight the legislative program
and railway managements existed to
support It but both sides laid |»ians for
the strike quite as If Its coining were
beyond ail doubt.
President Wilson still hoped the
brotherhood leaders now In Washing-
ton would find means of rescinding
the Strike order which they maintain
lias gone beyond their jurisdiction.
There was ho unanlmlly of opinion
among tlicm as to whether the sug-
gested measure to forldd a strike pend-
ing Investigation by a public eomuils-
■loti tf passed and made effective Ik*.
fore next Monday could apply validly
to the present situation. Railway ex-
ecutives believed, however, that the
legislation pro)s>se<t would enfotx-c a
suspension of the strike, possibly only
by the pressure of public opinion.
While government machinery was
humming today with strike plans,
there poured in from all sections of
the country reports that railroads
were declaring embargoes on perish-
able stuff, refusing to accept freight
w 1th guarantee of prompt delivery and
warning against passenger travel ex-
tending past 7 s. in. Monday, the hour
set for the strike. The reports gave
a bint of the rigors which might be
expected from a general strike.
Aa a sequel to the conference tn
b|«aker Clark's office at the capitol
last night between the president aud
congressional leaders of both parties,
these leaders planned another meeting
for early today. Arrangements also
were made for a meeting of the senate
interstate commerce committee for It
was In the upper,house that strike leg-
islation was to be threshed out first.
Members of congress were not full}
agreed on methods, but they were rets
resented as lu entire accord with ttie
purpose to prevent In some way the
threatened tieup. Some measures to
be agreed on probably will be attach-
ed to the bill pending In the senate to
increase membership of the Interstate
Commerce Commission from seven to
bine. i
The eight hour «lny law for Inter-
state traffic suggested by the presi-
dent Is not entirely agreeable to the
brotherhoods, for they want with the
eight hour day ten hours pay, and con-
gress has no authority to presertlie
wages. The employes, expect, the prin-
cipal fight against this to be made by
the railroads, however.
The proposal for Investigation b:
n presidential commission Is welcome,
by the railroads but not by the men.
The suggestion that congress cm
power the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to grunt higher rates as re-
compense for increased wages L-
frowned upon by the railroads in th.
liellef that shippers would object an.
the good will of these Interest would U
lost. Most violent objection of thi
brotherhoods is to the proposed law
to enforce arbitration of future lnboi
disputes and the prohibition of striker
or lockouts during 'the conferences
Many legislators believe the presl
dent’s recommendation of a law au
tborlsiug forced governmental opera
tlon of certain roads for military rea
sou Is superflous; they insist that the
other action contemplated will fore-
stall the strike of Itself.

where Immense quantities of perish-
able foodstuffs are kept, depend on
coal to generate power for their re-
frigerating plants. Lacking the power,
the food stored In the warehouses
would quickly spoil.
Another serious problem Is the pos-
sible failure of the water supply. Un-
less coat shipments continue, the city
pumping plants would he forced to
shut down and the city’s water supply
tumid be shut off.

stock and perishable goods may re-

was said today. Tills would affect

Anxiety in New Yorit
AsaoctalaA Crest Dispatch]
New York. Aug. 30.—Rnllroad traf-
fic both to and from New York City
showed feverish activity today in an-
ticipation of a general strike. It is
estimated that before Set*. 4 the
threatened date of the ticup, this city
will rid itself of u flouting population
of nearly 330.000 uml receive home
alsmt the same number of residents
who have Ihtii on vacations.
The management of the New York
t'eutrul will consider an embargo to-
day on the return of President A. II.
Smith from Washington. Railroad ex-
ecutives here expressed hope today
that If a strike were called they could
ruu enough food trains to keep the
city from privation. This city’s milk
supply, they promised, would be the
first lo receive consideration. The big
milk companies have been organising
to meet the situation ever since the
strike became Imminent. Drivers of
milk wagons have lieen instructed to
take a census of babies on tliclr routes
and they will be attended to first.
The milk companies have arranged to
obtalu hundred* of motor trucks to
collect milk from the territory sur
rounding New York If the regular milk
train service fails. New York con-
sumes 3,500.000 quarts of ndlk a day
and It ts estimated that 25 tier cent
oF this goes to babies and another 25
per cent to children who deiiend large-
ly on milk for food.
The police deprtmout. It was an-
nounced today. Is prepared If need
arises lo assume virtual control of the
food and fuel supplies. For this pur-
pose it has made a canvass to ascer-
tain the stock of foodstuffs now avail-
able here nd It has a list of all mo
tor trucks and other vehicles that can
be used to carry freight and of light
ors, towlHwts and other vessels that
can -be prewed Into sendee tn the
waters surrounding the city.
In tlie wholesale grocery and com-
mission districts today It was reported
that restaurunts, hotels and boarding
houses were licgimihig to lay tn huge
stocks of foods. Wholesale grocers
ore not disposed to agree with the pre-
diction that In the eveut of a railroad
loup there would be a food famine
here In a week. If the milk supply for
•lilldren could be assured. It was said
hat the rest of New York could find
enough food here or In easy reach to
oat for months.

Chicago,- Aug. 30.—Approximately
six thousand union freight handlers

The federal migratory bird law pro-
tects the blue winged teal, and the
shovellor ducks for several weeks yet.

of Texas. From sunrise oil the morn-
ing of Sept. 1 until sunset on the hist

ful to kill doves throughout the state.
It may be well for hunters to remem-
ber that there Is Is a closed season on
plover for five years. Beginning Feb-
ruary 1. 191(1, u closed season of five
years lias been placed on this hand
some and valuable game bird. Until
1921, therefore, it will lie unlawful to
kill, ensnare, trap or otherwise de-
stroy the plover in Texas. Tills law
was iiasKcd because of the fact tliat the
bird Is threatened' with extinction, and
all true sportsmen will Join In uphold-
ing any measure calculated to restore
this bird to the hills and uplands.

rie chickens has expired and the open

uary, hut no other months tn the year.

gun and dog may lie seen most any day

<rf the bureau of railway
news a ■‘Statistics, said today that
flgureS .'lily could attempt to produce
plctur/of the Immensity of a strike
such as that threatened by the rail-
road by- jBherboods.
“It Ts really too stupendous to com-
prehend but here are some of the out-
standing farts.’’, he said. "Strike
would affect railway oiieratlon on
200.000 i-tiles of main truck and over
390.000 i dies of all track, which in-
cludes alxlllury tracks, yard tracks
and sU)iijb'. Tlie companies operating
tills mlHvfgc own over 65.000 locomo-
tives, 5C,‘)00 passenger coaches and 2,-
400.000 freight cars—representing
alone an Investment of over three und
three quarter billion dollars.
“The net railway capltuliaatiou In-
volved Is about $10,500,000,000, or
about one-eleventh of the entire wealth
of the United States.
“The human elements Involved In-
clude more or less directly the peace,
happhtes8 and dally subsistence of a
people numbering, according to the
latest official estimates, 102,574,000
the Investments of over 630.000 owners
of railway stocks aud probably as many
more holders of railway bonds and tlie
wages of some 1.700.000 employes
whose yearly compensation amounts
to something like $1,400,000.
“The freight movement In Septein-
lier and October is always the heav-
iest of aay' period of the year. Nor-
mally nearly oue-flfth of the entire
freight traffic of the year la con-
densed Into tlicse two months. It is
then that the movement of grain reach-
es its greatest proportions.
“The freight revenue of all the rail-
