Aug. 28—Labor day, Monday, Septembr 4, is the date fixed for .the strike in the tentative orders prepared by the railroad Brother- hoods and carried home by the mem- bers of sthe committee of 640 when they left Washington yesterday.

Stand by Eight-Hour Day. W. G. Lee, head of the trainmen, to- day issued a statement declaring that the brotherhoods had no intention of arbitrating the eight-hour day. “It seems evident,” the statement said, “from press reports thIIS morning that the railway companies repre- sented here-are determined to force a strike rather than accept the com- promise settlement offered by Presi- dent Wilson. 'y “The organizations refuse positively to arbitrate the question of an eight- hour day because we now have an eight-hour day in effect on many of the southern and southwestern roads and do not. propose to arbitrate whether we shall retain something that we have had for years and that we secured peacefully. . “The railways’ former claim that our request would cost $100,000,000 has been split fifty-fifty and we are reminded of the statement that ‘figures won’t lie, but liars will figure.’ “The railroads know full well that the eight-hour day as offered by President Wilson would not .cost 320,000,000 per annum if properly ap- phed. “We are still the guests of Presi- dent Wilson and will remain here.” “William Walsh, Towa Railroad | Builder, is Dead San¢ Francisco, Aug. 28.—William Walsh, who with his sons built the Rock Island Southern railway, a small system in Iowa, died here yesterday while members of his family were rushing west to be with him in his ill- ness..

CONGRESS STAYS ON JOB | BULLETIN. | Washington, Aug. 28 —After a conference'at the senate office build- | ing with members of ‘the senate| steering. committee, President Wilson announced late today that the object of his visit was to consider the ad- visability of his appearing before a| joint sesosnion of congress .on the| railroad situation. It is expected he | will appear either tomorrow or Wed- | nesday. BULLETIN. | | Washington, Aug. 28—The com-| | mittee of eight conferred with Presi- | | dent Wilson an hour and afterward | Hale Holden, as spokesman, said that a statement would be given out by the executives inside of an hour, but that it would not be a final statement. Mr. Holden indicated that the plan of the executives to present the Pres-| ident a written statement, practically | turning down his plan, had been changed. Mr. Holden refused to state whether the executives planned to see the president again or to indi- cate their plans in any way. = Washington, Aug. 28.—President Wilson's plan for breaking the dead- lock between the railroads and their employes, which was discussed in con- ference today, was as follows: “An eight-hour law for railroads, to become effective at a date far enough in the future to give the railroads opportunity to prepare for it. “A law, patterned after the Cana- | dian act, which createst.a commission of investigation and prevents lock- outs/and strikes while disputes are being investigated.” “This plan was discussed by the president with his party leadeérs in congress as the basis for the next step after the railroad managers have formally announced their refusal to accept the plan of settlement the preg- ident previougly proposed; Tidy were expected to this at 2:30 o'clock this‘afternoon at a White House con- ference. Congress Prepares to Stay. Meanwhile congressional leaders gave up hope of adjournment this week and settled down to stay here as long as necessary to provide leg- |islation to meéet the strike situation. 1 Senator Newlands and Commissioner Chambers of the federal mediation board conferred today with Acting Attornéy General Todd about the leg- islative program, but all* denied that any legal measures for preventing a strike had been discussed. While the president has not finally given up hope of bringing about an agreement theough direct negotia- tions, he is going forward with his reparations for taking his plan for egislation before congress. | Magnates Firm for-Arbitration. | Up to the present the railroad ex- ecutives have based their objections to the president's plan on the ground that the entire controversy should be submitted to arbitration It was understood today that many proposals of different forms have been presented to the railway execu- tives through the White House, but they have all been met with the state- ment that the railroads stood for ar- | bitrating the whole controversy. If all the negotiations fail and the president goes before congress, prob- ably tomorrow, it is said ‘he will re- veal the details of all the negotiations in his address and his plan for leg- islation. Wilson Will Go to Capitol. At 4 o'clock this afternoon and after | his conference with the railway ex- ecutives President Wilson plans to go to the capitol again to confer with| the democratic steering committees to discuss the proposed legislation. Brotherhoods Answer Rea. The four brotherhood heads issued a statement replying to President Rea of the Pennsylvania, who last night made an announcement that rather than give up arbitration the roads preferred to face a strike. The state- ment charged the Pennsylvania with inconsistency in that two years ago it fought the efforts of its shopmen to organize and arbitrate. It also de- clared that as the controlling interest in five roads it has refused them rep- resentation on the managers’ confer- ence committee and that if arbitration were agreed upon it would not apply to these roads.

A later message from the same source says word has been received from Berlin that the German govern- ment will hand his passports to the Roumanian. minister today. Decision Made Sunday. Paris, Aug. 28-—Roumania de-' clared war against Austria-Hun, last night, says a Havas dispatch from Berne, Switzerland, which déclaree that the Wolff agency at Berlin made the official announcement. Roumania’s decision to enter the war was reached at a meeting of the crown council held at Bucharest yes- terday morning, says a Havas dis« patch from Geneva. Fourteenth Natlon in War, . Bucharest dispatches received ye te gg“mtfl that i{xuf Ferdinan Rb d convened a tonferen of representatives of all ‘the polif parties, former premiers, former dents of the legislative chambers, ministers and government representa- tives, with:the idea 'of ascertai the views of all sections of public opinion. . « The Wolff bureau, which first made’ the announcement that Rouniania has’ cast its fortunes with the entente al- lies is a semi-official! German agency, which frequently is used as an avenue for making public official announce- ments. Roumania thus becomes the four~ teenth nation to join' in the war. Its intervention either on the side of the entente allies or the central powers has been awaited with symptoms of concern by both since the beginning of the great conflict. This is due not entirely to Roumania's milit:rdy strength, but also to the strategic ad- vantages of its geographical position and the fact that its entry into the: struggle ogenno the Russian army a gateway through which to attack the Bulgarians from the north, while the | allied army having its base at Sa- | loniki attacks them and theit German } allies from the south, Army Over Half Million.. Nevertheless, Roumania’s military strength is. by no means inconsider- able. The country has a population of 6,800,000 and its army has been es- timated at 580,000. Itioften has been ° described as one of the most thor- oughly equipped and disciplined armies in Europe, but recent informa- tion from Bucharest has thrown som. doubt upon its quality. Lately it has | been stated that Roumanian officers | are ill-trained and undisciplined, that Roumania has no heavy artillery and | that its flying service is inferior. Some | advocates of Roumania's participa- | tion in the war have asserted that it could mobilize as many as 1,000,000 men, The mobilization of its army has been in progress for months, and a few days ago was reported to be complete. Wants Three Slices of Land. The motive which prompts Rou- mania to enter the war is the satis- faction of its “national aspirations” | described by Take Jonescu; the Rou- | manian liberal leader, as the “policy | of national instinct.” Concisely this | means national expansion.
