R. H. Ingram, general superintendent
of the southern division of the South

dent of the Order Of Railroad Teleg-
raphers, arrived yesterday from Santa
Barbara, where they had met and failed
to arrive at decision as TO the third
person who should assist them In set
tling differences between the order and
the railroad company. A conference
held on February IL had ended with
the understanding that the dispute be
referred to a board of arbitration. 1t
was agreed that Ingram should repre-
sent the Southern Pacific and Perham
the telegraphers, and they were given
five days to select the third member Of
the board. The limit expired yesterday

They have finally agreed to ask the
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the United States La
Dor Commissioner to act Jointly in Sc
leoting the third member of the arbi-
tration committee. Tt Is understood
that the only disagreement is over the
question of seniority. The order asks
that length of service be recognized in
making promotions, and the company
argues that this would be an Injustice
to men who are deserving of promotion,
but who would be held back because
of a length-of-service clause.
