I am for business honestly ad ministrated. We have had abundant surgery, but nobody can live on sur aery alone; the patients body must be nuiit up. We must foster enterprise and make the man of business feel he has free avenues to success. "I do not believe in, nor do I know any panacea for our governmental ills. 1 believe in cost sheets and getting down to hard facts by a study of our problems and then solving them on that basis. The administration of our government should be an ex ample to business men. "T like to sec where we can do for America, not to look, to cut off and destroy."

MEETING FOR MONDAY Executives of Roads Fail ' to Give Answer to Proposi tion Submitted. MATTER NOT CLOSED WasliinKt'iii, Auk. W. Representa tives of the fnnr brotherhoods of rail way employes liehl a meeting; this afternoon anil after hearins Presidnt Wilson's statement read, adjourned until 111 n'eloek Monday morning. .Indr Chambers of the federal board of mediation, conferred with -ome of the leaders, hut declined to make public his mission. Reports were eurrent amcng the employes after the visit of Judge Chambers that a counter-proposal was expected froui the railroad managers. Mr. Chambers refused to confirm or denv the renort. President Wilson sent the following telegram to fourteen presidents of wer.tern railroads: "Discussion of the matter involved in the threatened railway strike is still continuing. It is highly important that I should personally ennter wttn von or some one authorized to repre sent yon at the earliest possible mo ment. Hone vou can arrange mat- terr so as to be able to come to Washington at once." Give No Final Answer. After an hour's conference with President Wilson today the thirty three railroad presidents left the White House without giving any in dication that they had abandoned their stand for arbitration but with assurance that the negotiations were not ended. The railroad executives gave no final answer to tne president's propo sals, but will deliberate on them to day and see President Wilson again probably Monday, While President Wilson was eon ferring with the executives he made public a statement outlining his plan. In his address to the officials President Wilson said: "If a strike comes the public will know where the responsibility rests. It will not Be on me. Question Is Not Closed. All the railroad presidents said he question was not closed and that the! negotiations would be continued. President Holden of the Burlington, spokesman for the officials, said no time had been set for them to see President Wilson again, but that it was necessary to confer with the com mittee of managers, which has the au thority to accept or reject plans. Several of the executives indicated disappointment over President Wil son's statement, but showed particu lar interest in his mention of the pos sibility of the Interstate Commerce commission considering an increase in freight rates. In his talk to the executives today. President Wilson told them they were! facing a condition, not a principle. Hei asked why they should demand arbi tration when there was no law fori compulsory arbitration and he knew sory arbitration law through congressJ the employes, he recalled, had con sistently refused arbitration and hei believed it was impossible to gain in in the present controversy. Cannot Sit as Judge. I have been asked to sit as a judge, said the president in sub- stance. "I cannot do that, I simply I can suggest a plan, a way in which : I believe this question can be settled 1 fairly to all sides. President Wilson urged again thai the railroads accept the plan, adopt i the eight-hour day at least tempor I arily, and then allow the proposed commission to fully investigate the tacts, tie pointed out that the rail roads brought forward one set oi statements and the employes another, : and it was impossible tor him to tel : which was correct. t In conclusion. President Wilsor , said he believed his plan was the on!) I equitable way of settling the contro ; versy and that under it, both sides ! would be treated tairlv. Mr. Holden gave the president esti . mates of the cost of the eight-hous day to the railroads. President Wll ( son. in reply, urged that the railrqad otticiais. with the committee of mana gers, very careiully consider his plan hetore giving any final answer.
