almost continuous session Tuesday

Late Tuesday night three Of the

the Baltimore 4 Ohio, dicusssed the
situation with President Wilson.
They were at the White House for
more than an hour and on leaving do
clined to talk about their visit further
than to say they had "asked for the
conference to discuss the general situ-
alton" and expected to SEQ the Presi-
dent again.
Although some OF the 60 or more
are showing a disposition to
prolong the negotiations In the hope
that the sentiment of business men OF
the country will be shown TO be op-
posed TO the idea Of an eight-hour day,
there was a general feeling that q def
