In his talk to the executives today, President Wilson told them they werd facing a condition, not a principle.

Cannot Sit as Judge. “I have been asked to sit as judge,” said the president in sub. stance. “I cannot do that, I simpl can suggest a plan, a way in whicl 1 believe this question can be settled fairly to all sides.” President Wilson urged again tha | the railroads accept the plan, adop the eight-hour day at least tempor: arily, and then allow the proposed commission to fully investigate thd facts. He pointed out that the rail roads brought forward one set of statements and the employes another, and it was impossible for him to tell which was correct. In conclusion, President Wilson said he believed his plan was the onl, equitable way of settling the contro versy and that under it, both side would be treated fairly. Mr. Holden gave the president esti; mates of the cost of the eight-hous day to the railroads.
