WASHINGTON, Aug. ll—eitaiiroad

deadlocked in negotiations which'
threaten a nation-wide railroad strikefl
loday laid their case before President
“’ilson.
h‘irst came thirly~flte represeplav
lives of the brotherhoods, who can-
i‘erred with the president shortly after
to o'clock. They were followed by
the committee of managers. |
The brotherhood mt went into the
conference firm in their determination
not to accept an arbitration under the
Newlands' Act, which they contend
has always furnished arbitrators be,
lure whom the men did not have an
nnprejudiced opportunity.
There were some indications that
the president, recognizing that view,
might propose a special arbitration
before a board of twelve members on
which the four brotherhooda could be
represented. t
The president‘s plan was to appeal
' to managers and men on the highest
patriotic grounds to find a way to
compose their differences without a
strike.
The president's conference with the
than was opened with a statement by
a A. -B. Garretson, of the Conductors.
He outlined the de-
and a half for overtime. He insisted
that "the demands were‘fair. Presl-
dont Wilson then addressed the men,
pointing out what disaster would fol-
low a general strike and insisting that
an agreement must be reached.
The president then asked to know
the specific things on which the em-
ployes were prepared to insist. Mr.
Harretson did most of the talking for
the men, and he and the president
disbussed the situation thoroughly; blr.
M’ilson promised to take the demands
up with the managers in an effort to
find a common ground on which the
two sides could meet. He said he
was anxious to settle the difficulty as
nulckly as possible and was prepared
to remain in continuous conference
all day if necessary.
After being with the president two
hours. the representatives of the men
left the White House and Mr. Garret-
son said they expected to see the
president again later in the day after
he had conferred with tho'managers.
tMr. Garretson refused to say whether
the. outlook was hopeful. _
9 “As long as the matter is in Presi-
dent Wilson‘s hands we will have no
statement to make," said Mr. Garret-
son.
The president immediately sent for
the railroad managers to lay before
them the position of the workmen.
It was arranged that the managers
should see the president at 3 o'clock'
this afternoon, and that meanwhile the 1
president would keep one or two other
important engagements, including one
with Mr. Chambers, of the Federal
Board. r .
