The union leaders refused to say
whether the president granted the

however, that Wilson refused to
grant the complete demands for in
crcases Of approximately 40 per cent
for 100000 employees.
'"The president gave no indication,
as far as appearance was concerned
of a man who has been i'll for
MONTHS said Shea. "His gestures
were decided, his enunciation abso-
.lutely clear. He frequently smiled"
President Wilson shook hands
with the committeeman before and
after the brief conference. They
said his grip was firm. Shea, who
conferred with the president when
a strike was threatened in 1917, said
the president looks much the same
as he did then. His face is full, his
color healthy and his eyes clear,
Shea said.
A meeting of railroad men who
represent the IA railroad unions is
expected to frame a reply to Will
sons proposal. This reply, which
they hope will be sent to the White
house today, probably will be made
public simultaneously with the text
of the presidents proposal tomor-
row.
Railroad brotherhood officials
were not disappointed at the failure
OF the president to grant their wage
demands, it was generally believed,
since none of the union leaders, it
was said had believed that tie
president would do otherwise than
follow the suggestions outlined in
Director Hines letter to the presi-
dent.
Hines, in his conference with the
union heads yesterday, frankly told
the union men he would not grant
their wage demands because of the
early termination of federal control
of the railroads. He explained that
legislation was pending which, he
said, would establish an impartial
and unbiased" method of handling
wage claims.
The union officials were out
spoken in their denunciation of the
attitude of Director Hines and the
government officials generally, ex-
pressing the feeling that the work
ers had been betrayed. To comply
with Hines plan and await settle
ment of the wage question after the
roads were returned to their private
owners, it was said, would be tanta-
mount to setting aside the interests
of the workers for the present and
engaging in another long wait with
the possibility that every step to-
ward justice afor the men would be
gained only after bitter controversy.
