TO HEAR WILSON'S VIEW

Presidents of twenty-four interna-

as to whether to call a strike on the

1t was learned today. that this con-

of the message by President Gompers
and the steel workers committee to
President Wilson. asking him to report
what success he had achieved toward
efrecting a conference between the
workers representatives and Judge

In this connection It was stated that

President Gompers declined again to-

Presidents reply to the steel workers
committee and it was said at the
White House that the President had
sent no word there regarding his reply.
OF different theories advanced here
today as to the contents of the Presi-

as the most likely was that the Presi-
dent had suggested to Gompers that
the matter of securing a conference
rested between Gompers and Judge
