Washington, Aug. 14. Prospects for averting a nation-wide railway strike or at least for the formulation of some program which will.be the groundwork for further negotiations ongntened up today after President Wilson had conferred with 36 chiefa of the brotherhood. After the conference the brother hood men declared , the president's grasp of the situation and the posi tion ox toe men might result In an understanding being reached and oth ers said the representatives of the men showed a disposition to avoid a strike by co-operation. Arter hearing the men for two hours the president sent for the managers for a conference at 3 p. m. The president according to those who attended the conference showed a familiarity with the situation that was surprising. 'TThe president was most sympathe tic," said one of the leaders, "and his surprising knowledge ot the situation may result in an understanding being reached." The impression prevails that as a last resort the president might ask congress for eight hour day legisla tion. , The leaders explained to the president their stand against arbitra tion by saying that they were carry ing out the wishes of the 600 dele gates who sat with them at -their meeting with the federal mediators. The delegates in voting on whether they should accept or reject the med iation voted unanimously tor reject ion. -.. The brotherhood leaders presented to the president detailed reports of the vote on the strike question. The discussion this morning, it was learned, tended largely to the possibility of reaching some agree ment, on the subject of arbitration and particularly the subjects to be ar bitrated. It was considered possible that a tentative agreement would would provide for arbitartlon of the de mands of the men on an eight hour day and pay for overtime with elim ination of counter proposals of employers. The railroads have wanted to ar bitrate their counter proposals and this thementelaLTby-.were,Jirat inclined 'to arbitrate their own de mands but later changed their mind. Shortly after 2:30 this afternoon the managers' committee, at the con clusion of a half hour conference, went to the White House to meet the president. There were 19 -managers In the party and all were silent over the conference earlier in the day.
