Wilson Has Firmer Grasp.

At any rate, the Presidents friends
believe that he has firmer grasp Of
the situation than since his confer
ences started four days ago. His plan
of settlement is before the people.
The President, although realizing
the gravity of the crisis, is certain
that public opinion will support his
proposition. He is prepared to stand
or fall on this plan.
The union delegates-the six hum
dred and forty-listened, visibly i'm
pressed, to the Presidents exposition
of his plan in the big east room Of
the White House this afternoon. The
meeting lasted fifty minutes. 1t was
a smiling, cheerful, thoroughly salts
fed six hundred that marched down
Pennsylvania Avenue later and as
sembled in the Bijou Theatre to con-
slider the proposal. They could not
agree in their hour and half con-
ference, so they adjourned until 9
o'clock tomorrow morning, when a
vote Of approval, undoubtedly, will
be announced to the President.
Two Plans in Sight.
1t is difficult to believe that what
ever row developed in the union
meeting meant serious opposition to
the proposed settlement. Two ex-
plantations were offered for IT.: One,
that it would not be wise to accept
too readily; the other that an oppor-
tunity was to be offered for every one
to have his say before the union
leaders wade in and win for the
President. But few could see what
objection the men could have to the
plan, inasmuch as they would get an
eight-hour day and two-thirds Of the
overtime they asked.
The situation in the railroad camp
was different. The managers commit
tee disciplined by the President for
seeming to be rude TO his offer went
about other business during the day
and waited for the railroad heads to
arrive. They remained determined, but
there were thinly veiled signs of proba-
bic wavering. Tonight many Of the
Presidents friends are in earnest con-
ference with the committee, and the
Presidents chances Of winning them
over depend on what goes on behind
their meeting room door.
IL is certain, however, that IL the
President fails to bring them to terms
he will not stop there in his determined
attempt to avert the threatened strike.
