President Wil son this nftcrnoon suddenly called a halt on all further dclny In tho negotiations ho la conducting with tho representatives of tho railroads of the country to avert the threatened nntlon-wldo strike. Tho President called tho railroad heads to tho Whlto House nt 2:30 this afternoon, dcsplto their efforts to present further con ferences until tomorrow. Tho executles finally agreed. The railroad heads. In heated conference, had previously decided to wait until all of tholr number had i cached Washington. This decision did not suit the President. Ho de manded that the; nppcar before him today. The executives then proposed that ho lay his settlement plan before thoso railroad men -who had reached "Washington since last week's conference. But tho President Insisted that ho wished all of them to hear what he had to say. Tho railroad presidents mado it clear that several of their colleagues would riot reach Washington beforo lato tonight, but tho President declared emphatically he could wait no longer, and they agreed to go to the Whlto House.

Pressure from tho men for Immediate action met with a determined atmosphere of delay among tho railroad executives.

Even as they started for tho White House the presidents Insisted that so far as they wcro concerned the conference would de velop nothing. They declared that they would once more listen to the President's proposals and take them under considera tion. The circumstances of tha call led to a report that tha President was prepared to set a time limit on tho consideration of the proposal by the railroads, but White House officials aserted that tho conference was called merely Jto "talk things over" and that no drastic movo was contemplated, Dissensions were evident In the ranks of the railway managers who are opposing settlement of tho controversy on the basis of President WiUon's eight-hour plan. A number of the presidents now hers have taken the position that there Is nothing they can do but accept the Wilson ulti matum. And while they are in a minority, the men close to the White House beltev that eventually they will have their way. "There is no intention of putting the railroads before the good of the country," one official declared. "No one has ever been known to break the President's conviction on a point once his mind Is made up," another said. The President has peculiar powers, of course, and he may be able to force the railroads to knuckle down," a third stated. All of which is taken to Indicate that the position of tha railway heads Is not one . from which they cannot be moved. Additional railway presidents were reach" Ing Washington in two and threes today. With those already here they held a con ference, hoping to develop some counter proposal that would be acceptable.
