WILL ASK GOVERNMENT TO PREVENT STRIKE
MONEY MARKET
IS RELIEVED
Effect of Action Of Treasury De.
partment Noticeable in
Financial CenterS

New York, March 27.-The money
market showed partial relief, which
was attributed to the measures that
were adopted by the United States
treasury department. The treasur-
er's action was much dwelt upon as
indicative of the determination of
the new head of the department to
afford any relief actually called for
by the situation.
The question was discussed in sew
era quarters of the market today
how far the recent developments in
the credit situation might have been
prompted by arrangements to con-
form to stricter Interpretation of
requirements of the national banking
act than has been insisted upon in
times past.
The profit taking which could be
done owing to higher prices was in
creased by the belief that the stock
exchange authorities would desire to
close the exchange from Thursday
until the following Monday The
days net changes are mostly small
and mingled gains and losses and the
closing tone was quite Irregular.

By Their Leader

Chicago, March 27.-Thc United

conductors and trainmen of the west
crn railroads, and II the plans of the
general managers do not miscarry,
the whole controversy will be submit
ted to arbitration for settlement. Late
tonight the general managers gave
out a statement declaring that they
will demand arbitration under the
Erdmann act. A strike of the men
would interfere with interstate COM
nncrce. The railroad officials believe
they can prevent a strike by asking
the government to step In and take
command of the situation.
The Erlmann act, passed in 1898,
provides for the arbitration of labor
difficulties where interstate commerce
is involved, by the chairman of the
interstate commerce commission and
the commissioner of labor.

trainmen of the western railroads
