Alfred Walter. general manager of the
Erie Railroad Company. replying to the
letter of the State Board of Mediation and
Arbitration, asking if that road would ac-
cept arbitration of the differences between
the company and it's former employees
recites the fact that the men left
it's road while thef company WAS
considering their demands. and concludes
as follows: 1.-The relations existing betwe cen
those who were formerly in the company's
employ were, thereupon, severed by their
own voluntary action. their wages to date
paid and accepted by them. Therefore
this company does not see that there are
any differences to be adjusted by arbitra-
tiOn."
