BENDER WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Presi- dent Wilson today, in a formal state- ment of his proposal for settlement of the difficulty between the railroads of the country and their employes, indi- cated his intention to stand pat on his insistence that the eight-hour day be granted the workers. “THIS SEEMS TO ME A THOR. OLY PRACTICAL AND ENTIRELY FAIR PROGRAM,” HE SAID, “AND I THINK THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO EXPECT ITS ACCEPT- ANCE.” The statement was issued just ater 33 railway heads had assembled at the White House to give their reply to the proposition. President Holden, of the Burlington, told the president that they continued to stand for arbitra- tion and did not believe it right to ask them to abandon that principle. While speaking, the president paced back and forth in front of the men, stirred by the situ- ation confronting him and showing plainly the strain he has undergone the last week.

Turow eR | \ OFF 1 MAIN \ f © Sarrertit/p gram Plan Is Fair He declared he would not be the court in this matter—that the people of the country were the judges and that when the “naked truth in the situ- ation” is laid before them the blame for any crisis will be placed by the people and will not fall upon him. Railway executives this afternoon denied posi- tively the president had at any time threatened government ownership of railroads as a possible result of their refusal to accept his proposal. He declared, they said, that he was opposed to govern- ment ownership of railroads and sincerely hoped it never would be necessary in the United States. He said, however, they added, that in some foreign countries situations such as are threatening the railroad industry today had served as stepping stones to government ownership and operation when peace otherwise had been found impossible. His statement on the strike follows: “I have recommended the concession of an eight-hour day—that is, the substitution of an eight-hour day at present for the ten-hour day in all the existing practices and agreements. I made this recommendation because | believed the concession right. “The eight-hour day now undoubtedly has the sanction of a judgment of society in its favor and should be adopted as a basis for wages, even where the actual work to be done cannot be completed within eight hours. Concerning the adjustment which should be made in justice to.the railroads 4 the payment and privileges to which their men are” now entitled (if such adjustments are necessary), there is a wide divergence of opinion, “The railroads which have already adopted the eight-hour day do not seem to be at any serious disadvantage in respect to their cost of operation, as compared with the railroads that have retained a . ten-hour day, and calculations as to the cost of the change must, if made now, be made without re- gard to any possible administration economies of readjustments. “Only experience can make it certain rear- rangements would be fair and equitable, either on behalf of the men or on behalf of the railroads. That experience would be a definite guide to the interstate commerce commission, for example, in determining whether, as a consequence of the change, it would be necessary and right to authorize an increase of rates for the handling and carriage of freight (for passenger service is not affected). “I therefore proposed that the demand for extra pay for overtime made by the men and the contingent proposal of the railroad authorities be postponed until facts shall have taken the place of calculations and forecasts with regard to the effect of a change to the eight-hour day; that, in the meantime, while experience was developing the facts, | should seek, and if need be, obtain authority from the congress to appoint a small body of im- partial men to observe and thoroly acquaint them- selves with the results with a view to reporting to congress at the earliest possible time the facts dis- closed by their inquirjés, but without recommenda tion of any kind; and’that it should then be entirely open to either or both parties to the present con- troversy to give notice of a termination of the present agreements with a view to inviting in- quiries into suggested readjustment of pay or practice, “THIS SEEMS TO ME A THOROLY PRAC- TICAL AND ENTIRELY FAIR PROGRAM, AND 1 THINK THAT THE PUBLIC HAS THE RIGHT TO EXPECT ITS ACCEPTANCE.” - BOY TRIES HARD TO SAVE HIS PAL PORTLAND, Aug 19.—-After to ave jto save Bonbright.
