Washington, Aug. 23.-Two score
railroad presidents, representing the
world, were in conference here Mon
day framing the formal answer they
will make to the proposals advanced
by President Wilson in an effort to
avert a strike that would paralyze the
nation.
The heads of the great systems
went into secret session after hear
ing an impassioned appeal by the
President of the United States to
keep the railroads running, not only
in the interests of this country, but
in order to meet the demands OF the
entire world"
The President reinforced his previ-
Gus. argument by pointing out that
the railroads play an important part
in the military preparedness of the
country and that as they are vital
part of the industrial framework Of
the nation, it is absolutely necessary
to keep them running at the present
time.
Mr.. Wilson told the railroad execu-
tives he did not blame them for fight
ing for the principle of arbitration.
but that he believed under present
circumstances they should accept the
eight-hour day and leave the working
out of the principle Of arbitration un-
til later.
With all the world depending in a
measure upon the products of the
United States, he said it would be a
catastrophe for the railway systems
Of this country to be tied up.
The railroad executives did not en-
ter into an argument with the Presi-
dent, but afterward said they were
deeply impressed and would give full
weight to his proposals at their con-
ference.
1t is regarded as probable that the
carriers will yield after committing
the President definitely to an in
crease of freight rates which will re-
quire the consumers of the country to
foot the bills for the increase in
wages, estimated by the railroads at
s50.000,000 year.
