I- -President Wilson appeared to the railroad of ficials today to abandon their Insis tence' on arbitration of the dispute threatening a nation-wide strike and to accept hie plaa of settlement, al ready agreed to by employes, be cause in his opinion the railroads are contending for a principle which It seemingly, is Impossible to apply to the present situation. In one of the most dramatic acenes known to the white bouse In recent years,: the president declared to the heads of five billion dollars worth of properties, assembled at his summons: "If a strike oomee. the public will know where the responsibility rests. It will not be upon me."

The Situation1 tOnirht was ArY,rA by a railroad president as .."not, hope less but grave. It wifl be at a atand. still until Monday at least.

The ' president's statement follow in full: "I have recommended the conces sion of 'the fight-hour day that is, the substitution of an eight-hour day for the present ten-hour day In all the existing practices and agreement. I made this recommendation because I believe the concession right. The eight-hour day now undoubtedly has tne sanction of the Judgment of socle ty in Its favor and should be adopted as a beats for wages even where tne actual work to be done cannot be completed within elcht hours.
