But (he way is open to further negotiations, which probably will be held in New York, with the 600 committee chairmen comprising the General Board ot the allied unions and the committee of the managers partici-ating. The union leaders called at the White House this afternoon probably will be the final conference with the President, it that an announcement from President Wilson outlining what accomplished and what remains to be done will be fssued tc During a two hours conference with the President to-day speaking for the railway systems, frankly told him that afte: with the subject all night issue between the 400,000 union railroad employees and the manager tr what is possible has veem slight, Elisha Lee, struggling nd well Into the morning, the managers were of the opinion that an eight-hour day Is {mpracticable, but that they do not ' ih fs Committee that helped reduce tele-| Health Department until after 10 i ee of the order, whieb| Phone rater, and Itichard H, Mitcholl| o'clock Mosees arian: they wo in Tesard tho demand as unreasonable.
