WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. On all
sides the railroad outlook is viewed as
practically devoid of hope that a
peaceable settlement will be reached
and I’resident Wilson is preparing to
lay the entire situation before con
gress and to propose congressional as
sistance m preventing the strike which
now seems a forgone conclusion.
II was announced at the White
House this morning that Wilson has
sent a message to congress stating'
his intention to appear before a joint
session at 2:30 this afternoon.
Wilson is plainly out of patience
With the railroads and told the com
mittee yesterday that the public will
not countenance their attitude toward
the prospects of a great strike.
It is also said that he threatened the
railroadmen with the passage of leg
islation which will make the strike im
possible.
The brotherhoods are also at the
i nd of their patience and announced
last evening that they will strike on
Scptcmhei I unless their demands are
met in full.
II is slated that the next move of
the ptesidenl will be to lay before con
gress tin efforts he has made and the
. .
reasons for the* complete failure to
bring'about . settlement and will then
demand that an m< ndjtn nl he made
to the eonribatioll act along the lines
of the- t’anadian law, providing fur tin
establishment ot permanent eommis
sion with power to investigate similar
situations, nn.iiiwhih forcing the men
to remain at work. Ii is stated that
the full outlines of the proposed com
mission plan have been placed in the
hands of Senator N<-wlunds, chairman
of th* senate intersta 11 eornmoio
