the railway presidents to rotifer as:ain

invitation unwillingly, as tliey hail
other plans. Fourteen western execu

Forty railroad presidents met l'resi-1
dent Wilson at 2:3" tins nfternuun. !
The conference lasied hair an Hour, i
I mill ili.ittly Afterward the railroad
presidents conferred privately ami
Lamed a final answer to Wilson's pro-i
posit Is. It is understood that Wilson
made an impassioned appeal and ;
urged the magnates to "keep the rail-i
roads running, not only in this coun-
try".; interests, but in order to meet'
the entire world's demands." It is un-
derstood the railway presidents were'
not unanimous in favor of flatly ref us-j
ins Wilson's proposition. A large
sentiment favors such action, but j
others counsel the acceptance of the
eight-hour day. pending the interstate j
" commerce commission's investigation.!
Manufacturers Make Appeal.
Yesterday the President received an
appeal from George Pope, president j
of the National Association of manu-l
faciuiers. urging that the principle of
arbitration be preserved. Mr. Pope's,
telegram follows: j
Hartford. C.r.r... Ay 10.. 1!16.
The President, the While House: Un
behalf of 37011 manufacturing organi
zations employing 3.himu persons
and utterly dependent upon uninter
rupted railrond service in their con
tinued operation. I beg now to express
our deep appreciation of your efforts
to prevent the threatened destructive
stoppage of National railroad service
and to urge respectively that you will,
with all the power of your great office
personally assert and maintain th
principle of arbitration affecting Na
tional interests. No just demand can
fear such a test: no unfair demand
mm or should survive it. I sincerely
beit e no man in our history has pos-?t--;sed
such an opportunity to fortify
this essential principle nf public se
curity arainst future attack by em
plover or employe."
President Sends Reply.
The president replied:
"Allow me to acknowledge the re
ceint of vour telegram of Augpst 10.
and say in reply that 1 hold to the
principle nf arbitration with as clear
a conviction and as firm a purposi
nnyr.-.p. but that unfortunately then
is no means now in existence by
w hich arbitral ion can he secured. Kx
Istine means have been tried and have
failed. This situation must never be 1
allowed to arise again, but it has
ari.-en. Some means must be found to
prevent its recurrence, but no means
f an be found off hand or in a hurry or
in season to meet the present Nation
al emergency."
"What I am prnnosinc does no'
weaken or descredit the principle of
arbitration. It sf lengthens ft. ra'her.
It propoioOhat nothine be conceded
except the eight -hour dav. to whi"h
the whole economic movement of thp
, lime seems to point, and th1 immedi
ate creation of agency for deterrnin
ine all th arbitrable elements in this
case in th light, not of the pp . In Hon
or forrra-ts. but of stabli-hetl find
ascertained facts. This i the f ir-"t
stace on the direct nmd to the di
roerv of the best permanent bai
for arbitration when no o'h'T man
than thoc now available ar up-ptifM."

the highways instead of the train.
They were 5 weeks enroute. and ac
cording to Mr. Worley persons travel
ing across the continent if desirous ot
seeing the country should always go
by automobile. They experienced lit
tle trouble and great I v enjoyed the

spending one week In Washington.
Speaking of the roads, Mr. Worlcv
found that Umglas County is entitled
to considerable distinction, for while
many of the country highways com
