CRISIS USED AS CLUB TO STAVE OFF RAIL STRIKE

(By Asaoclated Press) NEW YORK, March 15. The critic

il international situation ic the most Important factor in tho conference of

railroad labor chiefs and railroad managers that met here today to prevent. If possible, a national strike. Both sides use It as an argument, and it is expected that if the conference fais to achieve its purpose. President WiU

son will appeal to employes and em

ployers to settle their differences on the same ground. The 400,000 railroad brotherhood men, according to their spokesman, W, O. Lee, are determined to get the eight-hour day now because should war come patriotism would make them feel to stay. "Wo feel confident," says a statement issued by the managers, "that the patriotism and loyalty of our men will not countenance any rash move mcnt which may seriously embarrass tho government give the impression outside our border that this country Is torn by industrial strife and therefore is easy prey to any foreign foe." Too Late Now to Pose. "It is too late for them to now pose as patriots, hoping thereby to defeat the Just contentions of their employes," says a statement issued by the brotherhood leaders in answer to this appeal. The railroad managers entered the conference today with the declaration that they would make no bargain until the supreme court had ruled on the constitutionality of the Adamson eight-hour law. The brotherhoods insist that the provisions of the Adam-

son law be put into effect at once as

of January 1. They demand ten hours

pay for eight hours work and pro rata pay for all overtime. The important

difference between these demands and these submitted last December when the railroad situation first reached a crisis is that tho latter called for time and a half pay for overtime work. Were lot Granted Strike. The position of the employes when the cenferenco opened was that if the demands were not granted a strike would begin next Saturday night and extend through the country within the next three weeks. "Onr position," said a statement issued by the brotherhoods last night, "is the same as if there ' were no Adamson law and no decision pending. Whether the decision is for or against the law our demands, which we shall j present tomorrow will be unaltered. If the law is upheld it would give us! what we will ask for tomorrow. If it

is thrown out we will stand pat and j Y. M. C. A

REVOLUTION IN PETROGRAD DESCRIBED BY BERLIN PRESS

(By Associalcd Press) . BERLIN. March 15. There has been a successful revolution in Russia, a cording to the Overseas News Agency (the official German news bureau). The following statement was given cut today: "The following official report was issued in Petrograd on March 14, about the successful revolution: "The population of Petrograd Incensed by the complete disorganization of transport services and of alienation had been irritated for a long time against the government and had become restless. Tfce population held tho government responsible for all its sufferings. The government expecting trouble took measures on a large scale in order to maintain order, and among other things ordered the dissolution of the council of the empire and the duma. Duma Rejects Imperial Ukase. "The duma, however, on March 11 decided not to accept the Imperial ukase but to continue its. meetings. The duma immediately instituted an executive committee, presided over by M. Rodzianko, president of the duma. The committee declared it self to be a provisional government and issued the following appeal. "Considering the difficulties in regard to domestic tranquility, which are due to the policy of the- former government the executive committee of the duma feels compelled to take public order in its own hands. Fully conscious of the responsibility arising from this decision the committee expresses the certainty that the population and the artny will lend their assistance for the difficult task of creating a new government which will acc-pt the wishes of the people and enjoy their confidences. Committee Rests on People. "The executive committee rested Itself upon the population of the capitol which was in full revolution, and upon the army completely united with the revolutionists. It iirrested all the ministers and sent them to jail. The duma declared that the ministerial cabinet no longer existed. , "Today on the third day of the revo

lution the capitol, where order is returning swiftly is completely in the hands of the executive committee of thb duma and of the troops which garrisoned Petrograd and numbered more than thirty thousand which troops support the revolution. Deputy Engelhard,- colonel of the great general staff has been appointed commander of Petrograd. "Yesterday evening the committee issued a proclamation to the population, to the troops, railroads and banks, asking them to resume their usual activities. Deputy Gronski was chosen by the duma committee for provisional management of the Petrograd telegraphic agency (this probably refers to the semi-official Russian news agency)."
