President MAKES
KNOWN PLAN FOR
RAILROAD peace
contInued trom First Fac.

power Of attorney to reject or accept
the Presidents plan lay finally with
the railway managers committee who
are still in the city but who have not
participated In any Of the confer
ences with the President since the
railway presidents arrived. II is ex-
pected that before the crisis has been
reached the railroad managers will
be asked to the White House to indi-
cate whether they will accept or re-
ject the Presidents plan.
There is strong indications today
that rather than reject it and precip-
itate a strike, they will ask for more
time and further conferences.
The Presidents intimation that the
Interstate Commerce Commission
might be expected to give very fair
consideration to rate increases. II the
eight hour day change is made. is one
of the things the managers wish TO
clear up.
The President closed the confer
ence with a thirty minute address TO
the presidents. He said that II was
"a condition. not a principle which
lis at stake in the present negotia-
lions. II would be unfair and imprac-
teal to insist upon arbitration when
the men have repeatedly refused II
and when there is no system or law
TO compel II, he added.
He said he could not act as judge
but only make suggestions. He Of
fered. he Baid. what he believed was
practical means OF meeting the sit
uation and urged the executives to put
Il into effect.
When the commission has been ap-
pointed II can see how II works and
then the real facts in the case will
come TO light he said. Pending an
investigation by this commission, the
President said that he was forced by
wide difference Of opinion on the
part OF the men and the managers as
to the task OF applying the s-houT
principle to railway operation and that
he himself was obviously unable tC
Judge which contention was right.
