WILSON WILL MAKE FINAL PLEA TO-MORROW (Special from a Staff Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—The Presidents of the great railroad systems of the United States formally declined this afternoon, in con- ference with President Wilson at the White House, to accept his sug- gestion that the railroads adopt the eight-hour day and allow an in- vestigation by a commission of the other Issues involved in the men's demand for time and a half for overtime. At the request of President Wilson, the railroad executives agreed to confer with their managers and visit the White House for another conference to-morrow, While the railroad presidents were turning down the President's plan to avert a strike the 640 representatives of the railway employees’ unions accepted it in a formal ballot held at a meeting in a theatre not far from the White House. The situation is, then, that the representatives of the unions bh agreed to the President's plan, waiving their demand for pay and a half for overtime until the question can be investigated, and the railroad preai- dents havo refused to agree to any part of the proposal, maintaining that the whole question of an eight-hour day and overtime should be submitted to arbitration, |pect that President.
