1 I MAJORITY OF CHAIR3IET IXCLFV. ED TO SETTLEMENT FLAN. HO STRIKE ANTICIPATED Railway Manners Admit They Will Concede 8-Hour Principle and Overtime Question Likely Will Rc Settled on President's Plan. International News Service. WASHINGTON, Aug.

17. A majority of the 640 trainmen, representing the big four brotherhoods, are in fav- or of accepting the plan of strike set- tlement proposed to them by Presl- wtienn ir thp onet rnnm of the 11 1 1 llOUU AAA- fc- I White House this afternoon. The chairmen met in the Bijou theater and discussed the question informally, finally adjourning until 9 o'clock tomorrow morning when a votewill be taken. At tonight's meeting only a minority of extremists held out for the original or nothing provision. The railway managers admit that they will concede the principle of an 8-hour day as exclusively announced by the International News Service today.

The big fight is to come over the overtime question, but the general feeling tonight is that this will ho ultimately settled Recording to the President's plan and that there wili be no strike. It was authoritatively stated tonight that the program submitted to the labor leaders-by the-President provided: (1) That both sides shall accept the 8-hour day on the present basis of pay. (2) That the collateral question shall be submitted to a commission to be authorized by congress. At the White House it was stated that until the union leaders have voted on the suggestion and the railway executives have passed upon it, the White House could not discuss the existing situation. It was stated by a person close to the White House that if the unioi agreed to this plan and the railway presidents finally hold out, President Wilson will call representatives of the railway stockohlders and big banking interest to Washington, and deal directly with them.

The temper of the railway managers tonight was clearly indicated by one of the most prominent of thera, who said: "So far as the 8-hour principle is concerned, there is little opposition to it. The chief problem arises in the details described as collateral questions. Without these details being simultaneously put on a payment basis, the railway managers, while agreeing in principle, could continue to oppose the 8-hour day plan until it was accompanied by such a binding agreement as would be reasonably fair to all." Up to a late hour tonight, telegrams of acceptance from all the railway presidents had been received at the White House, with the exception of President Felton of the C. G. President Felton fthe C.
