The telegram says: "Discussion of the matters involved ia the threatened railroad strike has reached a point which ssakes it highly desirable that I should personally con fer with you at the earliest possible, moment and with the president of any ether of the railways affected who may be immediately accessible. Hope you can make it convenient to come to Washington." Before sending the telegrnm the presi dent talked with President Willard of the .Baltimore & Ohio by long dis tance telephone and was assured by Willard that the railroad heads would come to Washington immediately. Kef use Eight Hour Day. The president's action resulted from the attitude taken by the railroad man agers in a statement left at the White House last night by Elisha Leo, chair man of their committee. In this they strongly indicated they would not con cede the eight hour principle even for the proposed trial period and that the strongest coacession they would make would be to submit the whole matter to arbitration, the president to nnue the arbitrators. Today the managers showed no dis position to recede from this position. Several of them declared they saw poli tics in the president's effort, since ac cepting this plan would mean putting the whole matter over until after elec tions. The commission could not ac complish anything tangible before next spring, they said. The managers apparently are unmoved by arguments of the president that his proposal would result in a system that would probably enable them to avoid sudden strikes in the future. Three ballots have been taken in the past two days, it was said, and each time the managers have voted down tHe president's proposal. These Axe Summoned. The railway presidents to whom the president addressed his message today were: Daniel Willard, Baltimore & Ohio. Samuel Bea, Pennsylvania. A. H. Smith, New York Central. F. D. Underwood, Erie.

The historical East room of the White House was ready today for the enactment of which may be one of the closing incidents in the titanic struggle between the four powerful brotherhoods of railway em ployes and the operators of the rail ways of the United States. Six hundred and forty district chair men of the railroad workers are here to meet the president this afternoon in the East room. The president has ready for them hia suggestion of a solution for the situation that has menaced the country for the past several weeks. The definite terms of the president 's proposal are not known, but the basic idea Is an agreement to be made be tween the railroads and the brother hoods, whereby the eight hour day shall go into effect at once. With this in effect, the question of methods of en forcing it whether by means of the time and a half overtime, or by some other means will be mnde the subject of investigation aud adjustment, with the federal government perhaps taking part in the adjustment, The railroad brotherhoods have in sisted steadily that there is no other effective method of enforcing the eight hour day. The Main Problem. The president's problem, if the rail roads definitely concede the eight hour principle to the extent of agreeing to give it a trial seems to be to convince the railroad men that the time and half overtime issue should be held in abey ance during the trial period. Iuterest rested chiefly in the solemn session this afternoon in the beautiful room celebrated only for affairs of so cial splendor, from the days when Dolly Madison duneed, down to the present. The gorgeous state furniture was remov ed and camp chairs crowded closely to gether on toe polished floor. The session beginning at 3 o'clock was expected to last one hour aud pos sibly two or three. The employers' representatives were serious and for the most part, silent as the time approached for their gathering at the White House. What they are pre pared to eoucede, none would say. borne of the leading members of the general committee iudicated their belief that a way was about to be found to prevent the clash that seemed inevitable less than a week ago. But what the way might be they would not discuss. Nothing to Debate. They jammed the corridors of the old time Pennsylvania Avenue hotels near the eanitol where they have made their headquarters and strolled back and forth along the avenue, keeping always SHIPLEY'S Week End Specials For Friday and Saturday One Grand Clean Up of Odds and Ends and Broken Lines Left from Our Mid-Summer Clearance Sale throughout the store.

For the most part they wore the manner of men who had reached a conclusion and there was little debating among themselves. Occasional groups developed argu ments all on one side over the merits of their fight, but the greater num ber of the district chairmen seemed con cerned with the task of seeing as much of Washington as could be seen from the sidewalks of the avenue. The employes' sub-committee went into secret conference at the National hotel this foreaoon. Judge W. L. Cham bers of the United States Board of Me diation and Conciliation was present for part of the conference but left early. Judge Chambers brought to the brotherhood heads during the morning a question from President Wilson, based, it is said, on the last communica tion from the railroad mauagers, oppos ing the eight hour day. He remained only seven or eight minutes during which time he was given his reply. At 11 o'clock, after conferring with the employes, Judge Chambers went to the White House. He took some addi tional statistics to the president, further data showing the effect of the applica tion of the eight hour day to railway revenues. He says the president, in formulating the proposition he will make to both sides, desired full details of the possible effect on both the work ing conditions aud railroad incomes. Want Responsibility Placed. As to the outlook Chambers would not express himself. Chambers' message from the presi dent to the employes today asked how the men understood his proposal. This was carefully explained and Chambers informed them that they had not mis-. taken the chief executive's position. One of the foremost leaders of the employes said: "It appears very much as though the mauagers intend to stand pat. We are perfectly willing theyi should do that, as long as the president stands as judge between the parties. One little statement from him placiag the responsibility for any failure to get ! together would be something that neith er side can afford to face. As for us we came here with the idea of accept-1 iug what President Wilsoin regarded as . fair." The employes will accept no tempo rary settlement of major issues, another leader said. The question of the eight hour day, he said, must be determined finally, though he admitted that per haps a board of investigation on other subjects of less importance, would be acceptable to the men. When informed that the president had summoned the railroad presidents to appear, one of the leaders said: "I had been expecting that." May Appeal to Stockholders. A meeting of the district chairmen was called for 1 o'clock this afternoon at the Bijou theatre. In this meeting it was planned to consider fully the presi dent s position. That the president, in summoning the railway heads by telegraph did not con sider that he has yet appealed to -the "ultimate authority," was learned aft er a long conference he had with Judge Chambers of the United States Board of Mediation and Conciliation this aft ernoon. The expression "ultimate authority" was used by Chambers. Exactly what the president has in mind is not known, but it was thought possible that he may appeal over the heads of the railway presidents to the stockholders them selves, or ask a new referendum vote by the employes on the proposals he has made for a settlement.

Is Against Settlement Chicago, Aug. 17. Western railroad heads invited to attend a confcrcii-'f with President Wilson at Washington, were out of town today with the excep tiou of E. P. Bipley, president of the Santa Fe. Bipley said ha had not made up his mind as to whether he would ac cept the invitation. A. J. Earling, ot the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. aul was reported in California, and B. H. Ash ton, of the Chicago & Northwestern, and Samuel Felton, of the Chicago Great Western, .were out of town. President Aishton, of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad, was handed President Wilson's invitation when he arrived at his office from his borne at. Evanston. Two hours later he was on his way to Washington. John M. Glenn, publisher of the Manufacturers' News, today directed an appeal to manufacturers to message President Wilson, upholding the atti tude of the railroads. "The Unions took advantage of the situation existing at tbe time of the breaking out of the European war and were given concessions and they now take udvnntage of the peculiar condi tions which our country faces. Bight must be maintained. The issue is a prin ciple. It may cost something to enforce) it but it must be enforced sooner or Int er," the appeal reads. Railway Officials Go. New York, Aug. 17. A dozen presi dents of big railway systems will leave here at 4 o'clock this afternoon for Washington in response to President WilBon's telegram, asking them to the White House to discuss the controversy with their employes. Headquarters of the railway manag ers also announced that other railroad heads will leave Chicago today, arriving in Washington tomorrow. In addition to the presidents hav ing their headquarters in New York, several others happened to be bore to day aud immediately arranged to go di rect to Washington. A majority will leave at i o'clock. Among those who will leave here arc : R. Lovett, Union Pacific; Julii.s Kruttschiiitt, Southern Pacific; Hale Holden, Burlington; W. W.

Pierson, vice-president of the New Haven; G. W. Stevens, C. & O., and B. F. Buih, receiver of the Missouri Pa cific. Bea Will Not Attend. San Fraucisco, Aug. 17. Samuel Ren, 'president of the Pennsylvania railroad, will not attend the conference of rail road presidents in Washington called by President Wilson in an effort to avert a nation wide strike. . Rea is here on his vacation. His sec retary said today that W. W. Atterbury, vice-president, would represent tbe Pennsylvania at the conference. William Sproule, president of the Southern Pacific, said he had not yef received the president's invitation and was uncertain whether he would go to. Washington. President Charles M. Levy of the Western Pacific heartily indorsed i ine president s efforts to avert a strike.
