ARBITRATION WANTED.
A Move by Chicago Railroads to Compel
Labor Organizations to Submit DIFF
ferences to Board.

Chicago, May lathe Record-Her-
aid to-day says: A movement has
been begun by the management OF
Chicago railroads to compel labor
organizations to agree to submit
differences to arbitration whenever
negotiations between roads and EN-
ployes fail to end in agreements.
The lead in the movement is appar-
emily being taken by the Rock Is
land, the Burlington and one or two
other strong western lines. Thus
far, however, the proposition regard
ing ultimate arbitration has been
either refused or lodged by the la
Dor organizations. The arbitration
clause is being proposed with view
of insuring results and increasing
the probability of both sides begin
ming negotiations with case which
they are not afraid to submit to the
public. t..rr.'
