STRIKE PENDING.
Wilson and Railway Employees De-
mand More Than Railways
Can Give.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Eight pres
idents of important railway systems
who have been designated to draft the
railway officials reply to President
Wilson's plea that they accept his
plans for averting national strike.
were almost in continual session to-
day and tonight, but without solving
their problem.
Late tonight three of the commit
tee, Hale Holden, of the Burlington,
R. S. Lovctt, of the Union Pacific, and
Daniel Willard of the Baltimore &
Ohio, discussed the situation with
President Wilson. They were at the
White House more than an hour, but
upon leaving declined to talk about
their visit other than to say that they
had asked for the conference for the
purpose of discussing certain phases
of the general situation, and that they
expected to see the president again.
/ Cannot Daily Much Longer.
Although some of the 60 or more
railway presidents are assuming the
disposition to prolong negotiations
in the hope that the sentiment of the
business men of the country will be
shown to be in opposition to the eight
hour day, there was the general feel
ing tonight that definite answer tt
President Wilson's demands cannot BIZ
much longer postponed.
Are Still Insistent
So far as the presidents would dis
cuss the situation tonight, they are
still insistcnt upon arbitration of thu
eight hour day and all other issues
pending between them and their en-
ployes.
