Arbitration Board

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller.)
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-A conference
between the representatives of the en-
gneers' union and the employers was
held this morning to attempt to avert
strike which would leave the greater
portion of Chicago's business popula-
ton without heat, light or elevator
service.
One hundred and fifty sky scrapers
would be the ones to suffer most.
The meeting failed to clear the sit
uation. The engineers while not re-
fusing arbitration declared that under
no circumstances would they accept as
arbitrators clergymen. judges or at
torneys as in the previous cases when
a rabbi, a minister and a priest COM
posed the board and the engineers lost
instead of gaining wages.
The engineers get % cents an horr
and demand 3712 cents an hour. The
teamsters are in sympathy.
