Wilson. The Brotherhood represen-
tatives were heard first followed by
the railroad managers The Presi-

on the highest patriotic ground
Judge William L. Chambers, of the
United States board of mediation and
counciliation, said he believed the
chances were brighter now for set
tlement than they were when the case
was before the board.
President GarretSon, of the order
CT Railway Conductors, outlined to
President Wilson the demands of the
employees for an eight hour day and
time and half for overtime. He
contended the demands were fair. The
president then pointed out the disas-
ter which would result from a gene
raj strike and asked the men to

men left after comforting with the
president two hours.
One of the brotherhood leaders
characterized the conference as most
encouraging and declared that the
outlook for preventing general
strike was hopeful.
Administration officials expressed
confidence in the presidents ability
to avert the strike and from a source
in close touch with both sides came
the informal suggestion that the men
were regarding the possibility of ar
filtration with President Wilson him
self as the chief arbitrator. Brother
hoods have been firm in their con-
viction not to accept arbitration under
the Newlands act. contending that
it was impossible to get unprecedented
arbitrator.
President Wilson today showed sur
prising knowledge of the situation and
the mems side, according to one of the
Brotherhood leaders who said this
made him hopeful of a settlement. Tho
impression seemed tc prevail anon"
the brotherhood representatives that
as a last res )ft r"osident Wilson
might ask congress to pass eight-hour
