PRESIDENT May
PREVENT STRIKE.
Wilson ConferS With Rail Man
ayers and Men.
CONCESSIONS ARE PROBABLE

Employees Insist That Railways Make
Some Definite Counter Proposition.
Impression Grows That Some Com.

Washington, Aug. 15.-President
Wilson conferred with both partie7
to the threatened countrywide rail.
way strike and it appeared that sum-
cient foundation had been laid to fur
nish working basis for settlement
of the differences of the employees and
employers.
The president will meet both sides
again.
At the conclusion of the conference
the president issued this statement:
II have met both sides and have
gone over the case with the utmost
frankness. shall not be able to
Judge until later whether we have
found Z feasible basis for settle
ment."
The foremost questions are what
shall be arbitrated, if arbitration Is
to be resorted to and what form Of
arbitration shall be adopted. Repre-
sentatives of the employees maintain
that their demand for an eight-hour
day and time and half for overtime
is the only concrete proposition under
discussion.
Demand Counter Proposal.
They insisted to the president In
their conference that the railroads
make some definite counter proposal.
If the railroads submitted some pro.
posed form of settlement, they said.
they would be ready to discuss nego-
tiations further.
The employees are understood to be
ready to consent to the principle Of
arbitration if the contingent propos.
ais of the managers, which the men
claim involve rights they have won
in thirty years effort, are eliminated
from consideration, and il arbitration
is conducted by board on which all
four brotherhoods are represented.
Immediately after learning the en-
ployes' position the president sum-
moned the committee Of managers and
held a long conference with them.
They left the White House to confer
among themselves and the general I'm,
derstanding is that they discussed the
ACCESSIBILITY of withdrawing their
contingency" proposals and submit
ting proposition without strings
as demanded by the men.
Nav Accent ArhiAration
While representatives Of the en-
ployes insisted that they had not yet
agreed to arbitrate any feature Of
their differences there was growing
impression that arbitration, or some
form Of compromise, would be agreed
upon.
At no time, it was said, did the rep
resentatives of the men indicate that
unless their demands were granted
unqualifedly they would go on strike.
Both sides refused absolutely to dis
cuss their meeting with the president
g. Venture any forecast on the prob.
able outcome of the negotiations, but
leaders of the two factions were OPP
timistic that strike would DO
avoided.
The president, it was declared.
made no compromise propositions to
either side. He merely listened to
the employees representatives and
then talked with the managers and
suggested that some concrete work
ing basis be agreed upon before pro-
ceeding further.
