 Chicago, March 28-After fruitless session between the managers of western railroads and representatives of trainmen unions the managers notified the unions that they would appeal to the national government under the Erdmann act to compel the men to accept arbitration on the points demanded by them. The men, believing that they had made their demands upon the railroads as lenient as possible, were opposed to arbitration, which at best would result in compromise of the disputed points. Seeing that hopes of peace full understanding were futile, the managers notified the men that they would appeal directly to President Roosevelt who has the power under the Erdmann law to compel arbitra- tion. The men are not very well satisfied over the prospect, as they know the attitude of the president in the matter and fear that they will be compelled to accept conditions which appear unfair to them.
