iONDON TIMES STANDS BY
WILSON AS TO ADRIATIC
London, March 10.?President
Vilson's reasons for refusing to esape
from Adriatic questions by the
?ack door which the allied rainisers
held open for him, are very
trong ones, says the London Times
n commenting on Mr. Wilson's latist
note to the premiers. This news>aper,
which is the only one comnenting
on the American president's
jonimunication, commends him for
laving "always been consistent,
fhile the allies'have wobbled feebly
rom one impossible solution to an>ther."
Notwithstanding its continued sup>ort
of Mr. Wilson. however, the
lewspaper generally chides him for
proclaiming himself immaculate on
he score of delay" and adds "had
te always exhibited the firmness afid
learness of view he now shows, the
Adriatic and many other questions
night have been settled long ago"

RAILWAY WAGES
BEFORE MEETING,
First Time In Two Years. That.. Snohj
Discussion Has Been Encaged
In.
1
Washington, March 10?Representa-j
tives of railroad labor and railroad!
officials will confer tomorrew on the!
question of wages for the first time In I
more than two years. Committees act-j
ing for the recognized railroad laborl
unions and the associations of Railway!
Executives will meet to' arrange the
preliminaries for the formation of a
jo;nt board which will thresh out pending
and future wage controversies.
The first work of the joint board
when permanently organized will be
to deal with the demand for a wage
increase by all rail workers which has
been before President Wilson and
which was the subject of negotiations
between the labor representatives and
Director General Hines for a month
immediately prior to the termination
of federal control. As a basis for this
discussion, the board will have the
suggestion of President Wilson that
consideration should .be given the advance
in the cost of living and the
rolatinnqhin nf railroad labor Dav to
that in other lines of industry.
Mr. Hines saw the president today
but it was said the meeting was only
for the purpose of showing him what

progress had been made.
While declaring that they would enter
the negotiations 'with a spirit of
cooperation" railroad officials explained
that any wage increase must be
predicted of course on the revenue
they can gain through increased rates
It was eviderit tonight that neither
committee desired to allow the disputed
questions to be taken from the
joint board to the railroad labor board
created by the transportation act, if
such could be avoided. The railroad
labor board?the court of appealssoon
will be formed and empowered to
call all controversies before it when
there is danger of a deadlock in the
joint body.
All of the labor groups were said
tonight to have made their nominations
to the railroad labor board, and
three groups into which the 16 affiliated
organizations were divided by the
Interstate Commerce commission being
required to submit the names of at
least two men from each group. The
shop crafts, comprising the third
group, have chosen, A. 0. Wharton
president of'the railway employee department
of the American Federation!
of Labor and B. M. Jewell who, while
Mr Wharton has been serving on the
wage adjustment board under the railroad
administration has been acting
president of the affiliated railroad employees.
Spokesmen for the two other
groups probably will make them public
tomorrow.
