How would they answer it if it were asked about you?

One good test of responsibility is whether you have saved anything and the best proof of that is a savings account.

It's more than money, more than independence—it is the evidence that you have the right idea.

It shows that you are responsible.

that law, he reiterated, had demonstrated that the neutral arbitrators held the balance of power. He declared that any special arbitration into which the men might agree to enter would have to make provision for an extension of those arbitrators to give the men what they consider a fair chance.

Early today an hour for the conferences at the white house had not been sent, but the men were expecting to return to New York for further conferences with the managers tomorrow, and had re-engaged their hall, where they have been meeting, for tomorrow morning.

Wilson May Pick Board.

"The chief objection t:o 'the existing form of arbitration on the part of the brotherhoods," said Garretson, "centers on the difficulties that has been experienced in selecting neutrar )arbitrators who could do justice t'6 the cause of the men. In tho past there have been neutral arbitrators of high standing and intelligence such as John H. Finley„ of New York, and Seth Low, former mayor, but no matter how hq*iest their intention's, they could not bring to bear oo the questions at issue the disinterestedness necessary. Finley's future relies entirely on the direction of corporate influences while Low, although honest, was surely Influenced by the fact that he is a la^rge owner of stocks and bonds. "The appointments of neutral arbitrators in the past under the provisions of the Newlands act have damned arbitration as a practical pi*oposition in the minds of the men

W. L. Chambers,'of. the federal mediators, conferred with President' Wilson early this morning and arranged for the conferences'. 'There was a suggestion that th6 president might urge an arbitration by' a board ot twelve members so that "each of the Railroad brotherhoods could be represented. The president, it was indicated very clearly, would appeal to both employers and men on the highest patriotic grounds to meet and settle their differences without resorting to a strike.

President Wilson cancelled a long list of engagements in order to give all his time to the situation.

The tension in business circles here today showed a realization of the acute danger of the national calamity. The aggregate of financial losses running into hundreds of millions, labor idleness and food privation were some of the possibilities which a strike presented.

It was to be remembered, business men said, that there is scarcely a factory of any importance which does not depend on a railroad for its products. A strike, for instance, would mean that the steel mills of Pittsburgh would be cut off from .their ore supplies in Michigan and Wisconsin, the automobile industries of Michigan from supplies of steel from Pittsburgh, the cotton mills of New England from their

»y.

cotton from the south, the garment makers of New York'from their cloth from New England and every industry everywhere will be cut off from coal to feed their furnaces and dynamos.

Of more imnlediate seriousness would be the question of food supply. The' large communities which receive the bulk of their food from long distances would be forced to rely on what products could be brought in by wagon, automobile, trolley or vessel.

The suspension of the country's exports, the congestion of imports at coast cities, the stranding of hundreds of thousands of travelers and summer resort visitors afar from their homes— these are other possibilities which the strike situation presents, to say nothing of its effect on the railroads themselves and their employes.

The total capitalization of the railroads in the country amounts to more than $20,000,000,000 and their gross revenue has been estimated at more than $4,000,000,000 on the basis of recent reports.

The latest estimates available show that the railways operate 251,984 miles of tracks and transport annually 1,303,679,680 passengers. The passenger cars have been computed at 51,700 and other cars to 2,393,808.

EMPLOYES ARE HOPEFUL.

Pleased to Have President Wilson Cooperate With Them. NEW YORK, Aug., 14.—If President Wilson fails to persuade the rstitfoad men and their employers

settle their

differences and a general strike is called, it will be directed from headquarters in this city. -This announcement was made today, as the leaders of the four big railway brotherhoods and the railroad managers reached Washington for a conference with'the head of the nation.

At brotherhood headquarters it tfas said that all preparations had been made for putting into effect a striKe that would stop every train, passenger and freight, on the 225 railroad systems of the nation. The critical state of affairs was indicated by the anxiety displayed in every big industry which would be crippled by the failure of transportation. "Unless the president can find a road out, it means a strike," said A. B. Garretson, presideht of the Order of Railway Trainmen and Official spokesman of the employes, as be boarded the train for Washington. Elisha Lee, chairman of the conference committee of railroad managers, also was with the eighteen members of his committee who went to Washington on tjie same train that carried the thirty representatives of the brotherhood, placed responsibility upon the men for the failure of attempts at mediation. Mr. Garretson said that the unbending attitude of the railroad managers was to blame for the break.

The conference committee of the railroads and the leaders of the four brotherhoods went to Washington in answer to summons from the white house brougth here last night by Joseph P. Tumulty, the president's secretary. President Wilson in his letter pointed out that a general strike at this time might have a disastrous effect upon the country and Bald: "I feel that I have .the right there

•I.

fore to request, and I do hereby request, as the h'ead of the government that before any final decision is arrived at, I may have a personal conference with you here."
