Ask Legislation Which Will Prevent
the Recurrence Of Similar
Situation.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The subcom-
mittee Of the railway executives ap-

q reply to President Wilson's demand
fol concessions to the men that will
prevent a general strike have made
report.
1t Is understood they have recon-
mended the granting Of the eight-hour
day, but with a string tied to 1t.
The purpose of the string, 1t Is said,
Is to make possible withdrawal or
the concession If the president does
not give satisfactory guarantees OF
much desired new legislation.
The announcement Of the prelimin-
airy report of the committee OF eight
members followed within few hours
after u cabinet meeting on Tuesday ut
which President Wilson's attitude on
the controversy was given unanimous
approval by his official family.

now Is to commit the president and
the government to definite assurances
providing two things:
l. Legislation which will prevent
recurrence of similar occurrence be-
fore all the processes of judicial in
vestigation have been exhausted.
2. practical guaranty that the rail-
roads will be compensated for the
money loss they claim they will >sus-
tain by granting an eight-hour day.
