The railroad presidents Indicated they would make a statement soon. All said the question was not closed and that the negotiations would be continued.

After the conference President Wilson tent the following telegram to 14 presidents of western railroads: "Discussion of the matters involved in the threatened railway strike is still continuing. It Is highly Important that I should personally confer with you or some one authorised to represent you at the earliest possible. Hope you can arrange matters so as to be able to come to Washington at once." STATEMENT ISSUED BY RAILWAY MANAGERS. Later the railroad managers made public the statement which President Holden of the Burlington made to President Wilson at the conference.

"A denial of the right to be heard does not exist under any form of government with which our race has ever been familiar and the common acceptance in international affairs, in the adjustment of public and private rights under our federal and State governments, of the principle of arbitration as an approved method for the friendly settlement of the serious contentions of the parties, has put the right to claim arbitration as a method of settling such controversies beyond question. For these reasons we have supported our committee In their continuous demand and in those important particulars upon which no agreement could be reached, arbitration should be accorded upon any reasonable basis that might be adopted.

August 19. After an hour's conference with President Wilson Saturday the SI railroad presidents left the White House without giving any indication that they had abandoned their stand for arbitration, but with assurances that the negotiations were not ended. The railroad executives gave no final answer to the president's proposal, but will deliberate and see President Wilson again, probably Monday. In his address to the officials President Wilson said: "If a strike comes the public will know where the responsibility rests. It will not be upon me.

"It seems to me a thoroughly practical and entirely fair program and I think the public has the right to expect its acceptance." While President Wilsop was conferring with the executives he made public a statement outlining his plan and declaring it seemed to him "thoroughly practical and entirely fair program ond I think the public has a right to expect its acceptance." One ray of hope that It might induce the railroad managers to make concessions stood out in a suggestion that the interstate commerce commission might rraetlcally every tent of the 900 sol diers here were blown down and the men were exposed to torrential rains for hou-s.

Several of the executives expressed disappointment over President Wilson's statement, but showed particular Interest in his mention of the possibility of the Interstate commerce commission considering an increase In- freight rates. President Wilson declared he was the spokesman for IUO.000.00'1 people, everyone of whi4jn had a deep interest in the present situation. Ills only object, hc said, was to avoid a strike, with its consequent disaster to the nation.

He spoke solemnly and often paused and faced the officials as he asked that they accept his plan. The railroad officials were equallv solemn and Mr. Holden told the president they realized tho seriousness of the situation. The employes' representatives held a meeting and after hearing President Wilson's statement read, adjourned until 10 o'clock Monday morning. Judge Chambers of the federal board of mediation, conferred with some or the leaders, but declined to make public his mission.

Reports were current among the employes arter the visit or Judge Chambers that a counter proposal was expected from the railroad managers. Mr. Chambers refused to confirm or deny, the report.

These exceptions have been worked out under local conditions, different often from the general conditions affecting the question.

"In several important arbitrations of railroad rates of pay and conditions of service within recent years the last within two years, involving 98 railroads serving-the entire territory between Chicago and the Pacific coast the 10-hour basic day was incorporated in the demands of the organizations parties thereto and made the basis by them of the rates and rules awarded by the federal board.
