He also made clear his position on arbitration. He said: \'What I am proposing does not weaken or discredit the principle of arbitration, it strengthens it, rather. \It proposes that nothing be conceded except the eight- hour day which the whole economic movement of the time seems td point* and the immediate creation of an agency for determining all arbitrable elements in this case in the light jiot of predictions or forecasts but of esablished and ascer- tained facts.\ - The statement was. contained in a telegram signed by the President and forwarded from the White House to George Pope,, president of the National Association of Manufactur- •iJ^-jIN^ii^:.^ .^^J^ii;^^ ;tfie President, con* THE WtlSfDENT WANTS PUBLIC TO '/ KNOW HE IS SAFEGUARDING RIGHTS Montreal, Any, 20 -Eight llai fl.uliMi \|.-. \\ .'» \ixlt .-w I'ai m '•!<• am.ill In ii iiiilav in mill a feehle lomliiuut ili.ii In l\i•utiil M ilil llllll 111 Ulll|i U 11 hull I HIT III !|> III' ,| l - _ iililimM Hi i ai m mi IMI.HII Iii'. i Mil ' The cause of the explosion > a ,i,, smr .. tl ui,„i, i,. i,a. i„.„.... is unknown.

The direct effect of this strategic •move from the White House was somewhat bewildering to the railway executives. They have heard from leaders of the brotherhoods and con- gressional- sources that 'as a last re- sort the President will appeal to con-j gress for temporary federal receiver- ships. The Only Means. According to several members of congress such a move may possibly be the only means of preventing a tieup of railway traffic that would be most disastrous to the country. Some bel,ievo it means tne beginning of gov eminent control over all the great trunk lines which thread the coun- try. In discussing the situation, Senator Marcus A. Smith, of Arizona, a Dem- ocrat and member of the Senate Com- mittee of Railroads, said: \I a m un- alterably opposed to government con- trol of railroads but a strike might result in something worse. I do not construe the attitude attributed to the President by the published reports of the conference a s a threat of perman- ent control. Temporary Receiverships. \My own analysis of the President's plan in the event the railroad officials i efuse to heed his suggestions is that he will ask for temporary receiver- ships.
