tiations in His Endeavors to Pre-
vent Threatened Rail Strike.

vent Threatened Rail Strike.
Washington, Aug 1S.-President
Wilson has invited the presidents of
the principal railroads of the country
to come to Washington Immediately to
confer with him on the threatened
railroad strike.
Pending their arrival he does not
plan to see the committee of man
ayers here. with whom he has been
meeting.
The presidents action in asking for
the conference with railroad presi-
dents is interpreted as meaning that
the managers committee had refused
finally to concede the eight-hour day
as the presidents plan proposed. and
the question now is to be taken up
with the heads of the railroads them
selves.
In case President Wilson finds that
any of the railroad presidents cannot
4 speak absolutely for their roads he
may invite to the White House the
/ financiers who control them.
1 Officials said that the president
wants to deal with the ultimate au-
I therity" on both sides, that negotia-
/ tions may be conducted here
The situation as it stands now is

/ The railroads fatty refuse to con
cede the eieht-hour day, but are will
ing TO arbitfate that question and all
others before any tribunal the presi-
7 dent or the men may decide on.
The men are willing to arbitrate
some questions under certain condi-
tions and are unwilling to arbitrate
others.
