President Wilson Seen Likely To Act On Rail Strike
Washington reports say the president may intervene to enforce the railroad strike order. Some expect action after tomorrow's New York session while others expect an earlier announcement. Wilson's condition is improving but still frail from illness and strain. Brotherhoods and unions push to carry out or modify strike orders with minimal public disruption while pursuing their goals.
Dual camps form as railroad strike talks begin in New York
Two negotiating fronts emerged in New York as Brotherhood chiefs arrived from Washington to meet the railroad conference committee. They urged peaceful settlement if possible but warned a settlement is needed even if a labor war follows. Strike orders remain in effect, with re call only if managers meet terms as President Wilson and Labor Secretary monitor developments.
