NO CHANGE IN SITUATION System Heads Apparently Determined to Resist Mr. Wilson's Proposal for an Eight-Hour Day, Other Points to Be Decided by Commission. Washington, Aug. 22. — With the arrival here of Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Northern, and other Western railway executives, in response to President Wilson’s summons, important developments in the threatened nationwide railway strike situation were looked for. While the railroad officials have tentatively refused to accept the settlement plan proposed by President Wilson that they grant an eight-hour day with pro rata pay for overtime and submit other issues to investigation by a federal commission, they are said to be considering counter proposals said to include arbitration of some of the points in dispute, with the granting of others. Mr. Hill and E. P. Ripley, veteran president of the Santa Fe, were among the first Western presidents to arrive. Neither had any statement to make. The incoming executives conferred with those already here and with the managers' committee. One Hundred Rail Heads Present. All the Western presidents are expected to arrive with a few hours, when it is expected 100 railway heads, representing properties valued at $110,000,000,000, will be assembled for the next conference with the president. The brotherhood representatives held a brief meeting in their hall. Their meeting decided that brotherhood members should call on senators and representatives from their own states and acquaint them with the details of the men’s side of the situation. President Carter of the firemen was the only official who attended the session. Several of the incoming railway presidents were more optimistic about the situation than those already here. One of the Western men said that if his road alone were involved, he unquestionably would resist the demands of the men to the last, but he considered the question a national one and for that reason was sure a common ground would be found on which to base a settlement. HOPES THE MEN WILL STRIKE President Ripley of the Santa Fe Discusses Rail Wage Dispute. Chicago, Aug. 22. — President Wilson's plan for adjustment of the question is no more than an invitation to the railroads to surrender. E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, said here before leaving for Washington. When asked if he had any hope of a settlement, Mr. Ripley said: "Yes, I have hopes— I hope the men will strike. If a small number of men can block the country's business, the country ought to know it. The sooner the better. That condition ought to be defeated at once, and decisively" Mr. and Mrs. C. J.

(Continued from Page 1) out the north road and make a very easy grade through the big coulee. James E. Reed, road supervisor in the Silver Bow district, is putting in a bridge across Woody Island creek a mile east of the W. R. Fitz ranch. This will give the farmers living north of this creek an outlet to the south, so that they can get across with their loads without any trouble or danger of getting stuck. Mr. Reed is also grading up several miles of road south from this bridge, which connects with the Grigg road, and from there has a straight shoot to Harlem on the road that was graded last fall. Mr. Skiffington states that the Board of Commissioners has received the right-of-way for the extension to the Gorsuch road over which the mail stage travels from Harlem to Twete. As soon as this road is surveyed they will be ready to do some work on it. In regards to laying out the roads on section lines in the Polley district, Mr. Skiffington states that the date for hearing objections from non-consenting land owners has been set for September 7. After that date the roads will all be allowed as petitioned for, with the exception of where the road goes through Harry Asher’s place. The board has agreed to accept the viewer's report and the roadway Mr. Asher has offered to donate. As soon as the contractors can get at it, a pile bridge will be put in at the loop-the-loop, and then this will be graded up the way it ought to be. This has always been a bad place and since the flood in July when the bridge was washed out, it has been almost impassable. The first of the week the bridge contractors started work on the pile bridge between here and Matador. They have put up their false work, but can go no further on account of the pile driver and bridge timbers not having arrived. J. L.

This bridge is now in good shape. Automobiles have had a hard time getting around this place and many large cars were stuck there last week. Road Supervisor Buckley put in several days last week fixing up the road between here and Madras and has that fixed up in good shape. He also filled in a couple of low spots and dragged the road well. The past few days he has had a crew of men and twelve horses going over the roads north of here. They have been using the grader to level off the bumps and a crew behind the grader has been filling up the holes that the grader could not reach. There has been a lot of activity on the roads south of here in the Snake creek country. Last Saturday the farmers all got together and fixed up the Christenson flat in good shape. They also put in a good day's work yesterday. This work was all donated by the farmers, and the county furnished the tools. I. J. Phillips did quite a stroke of shoes and hose.

Those people have been fenced up so of late that they have no outlet. This piece of graded road will get them through all the low places in wet weather without any trouble. Mr. Skiffington has been trying to get Mr. Phillips to use his engine to grade up the Cowan lane, but Mr. Phillips is so busy harvesting that he has not yet made any promises. At Coburg part of the steel for the new bridge across Milk river has been unloaded and as soon as all the material gets there, that work will be rushed to completion. The work on the road north from Coburg has progressed nicely and considerable work has been done on the south end. Some trouble has been encountered at the north end in securing a right-of-way through certain places, but Mr. Skiffington has interviewed most of the parties concerned and he expects to go. Out there to look into the matter personally. He states that he hopes to settle the matter in a way that will be satisfactory to all.
