All Disputes
Last Night
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 24.—
At noon today, the railroad situa
tion took a more favorable turn
than it has asumed since the confer
ences here, notwithstanding the ra
dical demands of the brotherhoods
at their committee meetings last
night when the militants wanted to
break off all further negotiations.
It is authoritatively reported
now that the basis of a settlement
has been reached and eight railroad
company presidents have been
named to formulate plans which
will be practically identical with
those proferred by Wilson some
days ago. These are the eight hour
day and overtime with present rates
of pay or arbitration of the matter.

having completed their labors upon
a settlement plan, convened the full
committee of presidents and they
have been now gathering together
for the past four hours discussing
the plans of such settlement. No
one has come out of the committee
room and there is reported to bo
considerable debating.

this refers to the railroad crisis.

has known that for the past montl
the Entente Allies have, had an agree
ment with Rumania, the cancella
tion of the commercial treaty witl
Germany fully proving the earlies
suspicions.
i PARIS, Aug. 24.—Beyond the
mobilization of her entire war foreo
by Rumania, there is no public

i is to be taken by that nation, one
way or another outside admissions
in Entente official quarters which
intimate that Rumania is fully pre
. pared to enter the war with the En*
tente Powers.
