Rail executives press Wilson on arbitration eight hour day
Eight presidents of major railways, drafting a reply to President Wilson on averting a nationwide strike, meet in Washington. They seek arbitration for the eight hour day and other issues, while some executives urge delaying action and others fight any plan forcing the change without arbitration. Public opinion and commercial groups favor arbitration. The White House conference seeks Wilson's explicit views on deadlines and cost implications.

President Wilson warned yesterday that he would veto the immigration bill if the literacy test remains part of it, a pledge that swayed Democratic senators and kept party unity strong. The measure was returned to the calendar as the fight over immigration overshadowed the revenue bill, with organized labor insisting on the literacy test and several insurgent Democrats rebuking party discipline.
