session all day considering the rules
and regulations recommended by the
committee appointed several days ago.
Considerable delay has been caused by
the Atchlson, Topeka 81 Santa Fe peo-
pie, who insist that the arbitration
clause shall be so worded as to avoid
any such misunderstanding as recently
arose in the Western Passenger asSocia-
ton. The rules of the latter assocla-
ton provide that when member is not
satisfied with decision of the chair
man the case may be appealed to the
association or to arbitration. short
time ago the AtchisOn appealed
question to the association and
when the association sustained the
chairman it claimed the right to take
a further appeal TO arbitration. Chair
man Finley decided that 1t could not be
done, but board of arbitration reversed
his decision. The Atchison desires that
the new rules of the TransMisSourl as
ISOLATION shall provide that after the
chairman has decided q question an
appeal may De taken to the association
and TO arbitration on both. Other roads
object to this claiming appeals should
not be allowed more than once in any
case. the appealing roads to choose

strength.
