threatened general railroad strike ap-

o'clock this afternoon. At this hour
eight subcommittee Of eight railroad
presidents, representing the greatest
systems of the country, met with the
full committee of 65 executives to put
up for discussion a tentative plan of
settlement. This included acceptance of
an eight-hour day proposition, similar,

Wilson.
Concession OF the eight hour day
was TO be Offset. II is understood, by
assurances OF immediate considera-

mission OF requests for rate increases,
remedial legislation for the railroads

permanent commission to settle fu-

A big clash among the presidents
was confidently predicted. The first
indication Of this broke out during
the sessions this morning. when a
discussion OF possible terms OF settle

from some Of the most prominent ex-
ecutives against acceptance Of any
