Washington, Aug. Is. - Prospects
for averting a nationwide railway
strike or at least for the formulation
OF some tentative program which will
be the groundwork for further nego
tiation frightened after President
Wilson had conferred with thirty.five
chiefs of the great brotherhoods.
After the conference the brother

grasp OF the situation and OF the posi-
ton OF the men might result in an
understanding, and others in touch
with the conference said the repre-
scntatives of the men showed q dis.
position to cooperate. to avoid a
strike.
After hearing the leaders Of the
men for two hours. the President sent
for the managers for a conference.
The President, according to those who
attended the conference. showed a IA
miliarity with the situation that sur
prised the men. The President, 1t
was said. submitted no counter prop
osition to the men, but he held out
hope for an adjustment by Legislation

a brief public statement: Il have met

morrow whether we have found a
feasible basis of settlement"
Today the President will meet with
the committee of railroad managers
for the second time. 1t is expected
he will submit to them the ideas
which occur to him for the settlement
OF the dispute without strike. If
the carriers receive these suggestions
fs.vorably the President then will call
in the representatives of the brother
hoods and submit his proposals to
them. If they in turn accept them he
will call a joint conference and push
the work of getting employers and
employees together as rapidly as pos
sitle.
According to high authorities there
is good reason to believe the Prest-
dent will suggest to the carriers the
advisability in the publics interest Of
conceding the mems demand for an
eight-hour day. Then. in turn. he will
propose arbitration Of the demand for
