 WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.--It is re- ported that the action of President Wilson in making public the facts at tending the conference this morning has greatly peeved the visiting rail- road presidents, indicating that the sincerity of their intentions is not be- yond question. It is said that the railroaders have now entered the ob- jection that their agreement to the presidents plan was tentative and de- pendant on the agreement of the sev- eral railroad heads who were not pre- sent at the conferences.
 President Wilson IS evidently bent on pressing matters to a final conclu- sion as it was announced at the White House, shortly after news of the new attitude of the railroad heads was noised around. that the absent railway presidents will be asked to come to Washington immediately.
