By the Trainmen Where a Vote
is Being Taken on the
Presidents Plan.
CONFERENCE is DELAYED
Railroad Presidents Are Not
Inclined to Assent as They
Want Arbitration.

WASHINGTON, Aug lS.-While
46O representatives Of the railway
employees assembled in secret session
Friday morning to vote on President
Wilson's plan for averting a nation
wide strike, the railroad presidents
and their managers held final con
ference before going to the Whlte
House later in the day
There were indications that the em-
ployes would vote to accept President
wilson's proposal of basic eight
hour day and settlement OF other IS
sues by special commission. but the
hope for settlement was endangered
by evidence that the railroad presi-
dents were not inclined to grant an
eight-hour day unless 1t be decided
by arbitration, and in any event they
might ask President Wilson for a lit
tie time to think over his proposition.
The time for his conference with
the railroad presidents had been set
for 1880 this morning but they
found it impossible to be prepared
with their statement at that hour and
he time was changed to 2 o'clock this
afternoon,
The railroad presidents want arbi-
tration under the Newlands act with
two arbitrators for the rOals, two
for the men and two for the public.
The disposition said Friday to be
TO insist upon ac, of that character
and not yield to President wilson's
plan for an eight-hour day unless it
comes from an arbitration board.
Some Of the presidents are said to
feel that the public will support their
offer to arbitrate everything in dis
pute. Some others, however, were
of the opinion that If President Will
son chose to execute his power and
refuses to press the men for arbitra-
tion it will be difficult for the rail
road executives to continue opposition
to his plan,
After the meeting of the brother
hoods had been in session for an
hour one OF the leaders came out and
said sentiment for the presidents
proposal was by no means unanimous
but no organized opposition to the
nlan had appeared Most of them
thought the proposition good in the
main but number found objections
to it.
''There are about 500 men in there
,lamoring for chance to speak, " said
the leader who came out, "and if
thev are heard as many of them
doubtless will be there is no telling
when we will get to vote. !"
Soon after 12 O'Clock vote on the
president's proposition was begun in
the mems meeting. 1t was expected
that more than an hour would be
required to take the vote and count
It.

PHTLADELPHIA, Aug II. = Tho
health authorities having charge Of
the fight against infantile paralysis
were notified Friday that the author
tiles OF Trenton. N. j., have quaran-
tined against merchants who send
goods to merchants on approval. The
Trenton authorities say they realize
that the practice of merchants send

because OF the possibility OF such
goods carrying disease upon their re-
turn journey. They accordingly have
ordered the practice discontinued un-
til there is some definite finding as to
what carrier ts responsible for the
