day"
In these words one of the railroad
presidents who attended the conference
with President Wilson over the rail-
road situation summarized the results
of the meeting last night.
1.-THE situation is grave, but not
hopeless, so far as i can see, ;" he
added. awe went over the whole
ground with Mr.. Wilson, but, I am
sorry to say, did not reach any conclu.
sion.''
Both sides and not a few govern.
ment officials openly discussed the pos
sibility of governmental operation in
case of a strike.
Government Would Control
1t was pointed out that the general
feeling is that the situation would not
permit of the paralyZing of the entire
transportation system in the United
States, and that the government would
adopt measures to take over the com
Plete control of the railroads as soon
us the strike was declared
Both sides admitted yesterday that
in no case would the strike last long.
Most persons, asked for a statement as
t. their opinion, declared that a week
is the longest probable period, but all
united in asserting that untold damage
would be done to American industry in
even that short space of time.
Great Opposition to Demands
1t was asserted by several of the
railroad presidents who conferred with
Mr.. Wilson that the manufacturers and
shippers of the United States would
register their opposition to the eight.

and they added that they expected
heavy pressure to be brought to bear
upon senators and represe natives
along the same line.
The strike crisis continues practically
as tense as at any time within the past
week. Both the railroads and the EN-
ploycs are manCu"ering for the support
OF the public and Of public opinion.
Each side is, issuing statements di.
rectcd to the public setting forth its
case.
Long Conference Held
For an hour the President conferred
with party of thirty.three railroad
presidents, discussing the situation and
also his attitude with regard to it,
when the big railroad men left the
White House it was with no indication
that they have abandoned their stand
that the controversy shall be submit
ted to arbitration.
They give assurances, however, that
the negotiations are not ended.
Responsibility VIII Be Fixed
After the conference the President
said:
"If there is "a strike the public will
know upon whom rests the responsi
bility, and that it does not rest upon
ME. -
The railroad men and the various
committees will continue their DELHI
