Monday was predicted tonight at the

A final decision was not reached

President Wilson, who has been con-
suited, feel the purpose sought can be
accomplished from now on by con-
tiruance of preferential coal trans
portatioa and distribution and by
railroad embargoes now in force.
At the conclusion of the confer
ence tonight the following statement
was issued jointly by DR.. Garfield
and Mr.. Nc Adbc:
"We have nhder consideration the
question of suspending after Monday

have not reached final conclusion
about it. We shall have another

"The record of war service pre-

that the Federation of Women's

is to desert our viral relations with
