GREAT RAILROAD STRIKE
(Continued From Page One.)
by complete -stagnation may be deter
mined before night.
For hours in a room at the Willurd
hotel the heads of the American rail
ways argued over the language in which
they should declare to the president
their "final stand." They worked over
the paragraphs of a proposal for set
tlement which they had little reason
to believe the brotherhoods would ac
cept, but which they desired to be un
unanswerable brief of their side of the
case.
At the White House the president de
ferred meeting with the brotherhood
representatives until this proposition of
the executives had reached hint.
The word went out that regardless
of the belief of the railroad presidents
in the finnlity of their own action, the
president was not prepared to allow the
negotiations to drop. He will insist on
continuing efforts to prevent the break,
n wus suid.
"If the propoi-ul forecast by the ruil
roads is made," an ndiiiiiiistrntinn of
ficial close to the president said, "the
situation is bad but it is not final."
The president spent some time tmluy
with Secretary of the Interior Lane,
who, because of his lung service on the
interstate commerce commission, has
been one of the president's most im
portant advisors in the railroad situa
tion. Lane declined to discuss the mut
ter wheu he left the White House.
Senator New lands, chairman of the sen
ate interstate commerce commission,
nho earlier hud advised .the president
that uction could not be taken by the
present congress on legislation desired
by the railroads if they grant uny con
cessions to the men, also called at the
White House. He left a urittcu com
munication but its contents nere kept
secret.
The brotherhoods' (540 representa
tives held an hour's session, discussing
various phases of the issue nnd "kill
ing time." Afterward many of them
paid their hotel bills nnd gave up their
rooms. They believed it would be pos
sible to leave the city tonight. None
of the brotherhood presidents, how
ever, would express such a belief.
WHAT THE ROADS PROPOSED i
By Robert J. Bender.
. (I'nited Press staff correspondent.)
Washington, Aug. JO With dramatic
nnd sinister suddenness a crisis came
today in the negotiations to prevent
the threatened lailroad strike. A break
. between the railroad brotherhoods.
representing four hundred thousand men
aud the railroad presidents, representing
twelve billion of capital, seemed cer
tain. Sixty executives called here a week
ago by President Wilson, have ignored
his peace proposal and decided to sub
mit a substitute proposition which even
the most optimistic feel the brother
hoods will turn down. It nrnvide;
That an eight hour day, inasmuch as
theory and practice on this question
differ widely, must not be tried until
Our Furniture Moves
We have just received the very latest in Furniture
Bedroom Sets made in Adam's design, of heavy Maple

spirit of buying at home.
after arbitration and investigation.
That the question of wages, overtime
and other collateral details, being by
their nature arbitrable, un impartial
board or commission should be desig
nated to pass on all these mutters.
That the roads will abide by the de
cision of such an impartial body, the
findings of the board or commission to
take effect from the time arbitration
begins.
The roads in the proposal now agreed
on among themselves request no bene
ficial legislation ami no increased rates.
They sngger-t only that in the event of
arbitration and investigation of the
eight hour working day, un impartial
commission do the work.
The proposition is less than 400
words long. It is the first concrete plan
that has been voted on at any time by
the executives and met with unanimous
approval.
It is the only proposal that will come
from the rouds, according to one of the
lending executives today and, he added,
"it is better than the brotherhood
leaders deserve. If they don't like it,
they know what they can do."
With this action unnnimoiisly ngreed
upon at a (onferenee lust night, the
roads pussed the question of a strike
or peace back to 1'resident Wilson and
the brotherhoods. Ratification of the
proposition was to be voted by the ex
