CHIEFS TO REVERSE STAND Wants Thorn to Accept Eight- Hour Day, Regular Time and Appointment of Commission BROTHERHOODS VOTING Balloting on President's Pro posals to Avert a Strike B\ Associated Press Washington, D. C., Aug. IS.—While tha railroad employes' committee of 6*o was this afternoon casting secret ballots on President Wilson's pro posal to avert the threatened strike, the committee of railroad presidents was in conference with President Wil son in the blue room at the White House. To the presidents. Mr. Wilson appealed to reverse the stand of their managers' committee and accept the proposal to concede the eight-hour day, regular time for overtime and have a commission appointed by Con gress to investigate the collateral is sues. It was plain that the railroad presi dents were prepared to refuse the proposition or ask for time to consider it There were some indications, how ever. that President Wilson might move them and failing in that, call in the financial powers which control the roads. When the White House conference began, brotherhood leaders said the men still were balloting. It was expected that they would accept President Wilson's plan. Hale Holden. president of the Bur lington, acted as spokesman. It was agreed in advance that the railroad officials would listen to President Wil son's presentation of his plan, Mr. Holden should ask questions in order to make the situation clear and the railroad presidents should return to their hotel to hold a meeting and de cide on their action. It was tentatively arranged that when the answer was sent to Presi dent Wilson, it would be given to the public. President Wilson was considering going over the heads even of the rail way presidents it was intimated if they should refuse the concessions he sug gested, and appeal direct to the S nciers who control the railroads. The President's proposal was that the railroads establish the eight-hour day principle and grant pay at usual rates for overtime, instead of the P»y a " d a half demanded by the men. All other issues then might be referred to a commission of probably three members one of whom would be named by the President or some other public representative and the other two by the employers and employes respectively.

Hummel, 87 North Seventeenth street, and sneaked a brand new ten-dollar bill from the sideboard, had just taken !the money and had gone on his way, the members of the House of Hum mel wouldn't have felt so hurt at the visit, perhaps. That the theft of the $lO was in jury enough goeo without saying; but, Mrs. Hummel and her relatives and friends who know her city-wide repu tation as a real apple pie baker, do not think there was any necessity for adding insult. Whyfore? Listen, and you shall i hear and judge for yourself: MARIAX ZIMMERMAN girls who would "enlist" by August 15 Instead of one little recruit, two un known to each other, of course, en listed at the same time.
