WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Marked
evidences of uneasiness began to ap-
pear today among the sixty railway
presidents gathered here. They have
no solution for the situation Presi-
dent Wilson called them here to help
solve They are divided among them
selves and unable to agree on pro-
posal that might soften the effect of
the presidents plan for averting a
national railroad strike. Still holding
out against acceptance Of the eight
hour day, they do not exhibit the
belligerence or defiance that was not
able when President Wilson first an
nounced his scheme for settling the
question.
: Some even are talking among them
selves of agreeing to the eight hour
day and letting the consequences
take care of themselves. "Let the
result be on the presidents head"
they say. These however include few
of the presidents Of the bigger rail
way systems.
The latter are working as hard as
they ever worked in their lives to
avoid making the concession. They

night and were at it again in the hot
haze of early morning today. Their
object as a result of their effort is a
tangible proposition that will embody
some Of the presidents purposes and
the brotherhoods' demand and yet
save the situation for the railroads.
They face the fact that, failing to find
such a counter proposition, they can
expect only strong insistence from
the white house that they accede
fully to the presidents own plan.
Late last night Hale Holden of the
Burlington, r. S. Lovett of the Union
Pacific and Daniel Willard of the B.
and O., saw President Wilson for an
hour. Willard alone Of the three has
been inclined the past two days to
accept the presidents proposition. He
has been aligned to some extent with
the railroads of the southeastern
states including the Southern, in this
respect.
Unless headway is made today,
there are indications that some OF the
railroads may act independently In
accepting or rejecting the presidents
proposal. Against precipitous action
of this nature, every effort was being
made late yesterday and last night.
n was pointed out that such action
would result eventually in a COM
rlete victory for the president. II
the B. and o. or the Southern, or
both. should agree to the presidents
plan. it would practically force east
ern and southern roads at least to do
likewise.
Willard, particularly, is said to feel
that rather than endanger the busi-
