Washington, Aug. 2l.-Big rail-
way men arriving here today answer
ing the presidents summons, had but
one word and that was arbitration.
President Wilson met this with
claim that his plan of an eight-hour
day and commission to investigate
the arbitration points was the surest
means of bringing about permanent
workable arbitration for the future.
Brotherhoods Satisfied.
Apparently the brotherhoods are
satisfied that they have won Presi-
dent Wilson's approval of an eight
hour day.
It is rumored here this afternoon
the presidents of the railways are di-
vided on standing pat and may put up
counter proposals.
The situation today was described
by railroad president as mot hope
less, but grave:' sSM "a
Two Points Found.
The railroad officials found two
points in Presidents Wilson's public
statement of his settlement plan that
comforted them and lead to belief
that eventually there will be an
agreement averting strike. The
first was hint that If the facts war
ranted, the interstate commerce COM
mission might grant an increase in
freight rates, and the second was a
suggestion that the eight-hour base
would be accepted only tentatively,
and might be terminated after In
vestigation by the commission pro-
vided under the presidents plan.
The companies would be under adj
ditional expense while the investiga-
tion was in progress but in provision
of Mr.. Wilson a report might be ex-
pected in a few months.
.. Federal Ownership.
1t was reported today that the at
torney general, at the presidents re-
quest, has drafted a. bill for the TAX
ing over of the railroads If a strike
comes. It is considered justified un-
der the welfare clause Of the Con-
stitution. It is reported that the bill,
if enforced, will draft employees as
the country drafts soldiers in time Of
war.
Hill to Conference.
St. Paul, Aug. 21.-Louis w. Hill,
president Of the Great Northern rail-
way, and Edmund Pennington, presi-
dent of the Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Sault st. Marie railroad, left the
Twin Cities for Washington In re-
sponse to President Wilson's invita-
ton to western railroad heads to join
in the strike conferences at the
White House.
Both Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Pennington
have expressed their opposition to
the eight-hour day principle advo-
Gated by the president. James Hama
ford, president of the Northern Pa
cific railway, arrived at st. Paul to-
day from Canada, where he has been
on a vacation. His view on the mat
ter has not been known.
