MUST MAKE TERMS
Employees of Western Railroads Re-
fuse to Consider Propositions
for Arbitration.
THE SITUATION is CRAVE
The Men Assert Only Way a Strike Can
Be Averted is For the Of
ficiais to Come to
Their Terms.

Chicago, March 20. - The contro.
versy over wage scale between the
general managers of the Western rail
roads and their employees in the train
service can not be arbitrated. The
only way in which strike can be
averted is for the officials of the roads
to make terms with the men. This is
the ultimatum issued by the represen-
tatives of the two unions involved in
the difficulty after a meeting Thurs
day night to consider the action of
the railroads in asking the federal gov
eminent to try to bring about set
Element by mediation, along the lines
provided by the Erdmann act. The
arbitration move of the general man
ayers was considered at considerable
length by the> union representatives,
but the proposition was finally re-
iected and a resolution passed refus-
ing to arbtrate the wage scale ques-
ton.
The general managers Thursday
night for the first time admitted the
situation was grave. The crisis was
intensified by the fact that no COM
premise had been effected with the
representatives of the $4,000 locomo-
tive firemen, who are here negotiating
for higher wages and an S-hour day.
Another conference was held between
the general managers association and
a committee representing the firemen,
but nothing in the way of settlement
was accomplished.
Secretary Slason Thompson, of the
General Managers Association said
Thursday night:
1--WE are waiting to see what the
government will do. We do not ex-
pect to hear directly in answer to our
request that the whole difficulty
should be arbitrated along the lines
suggested by the Erdman act, but we
believe when the labor leaders involv-
ed received word from Washington
that the government has been asked
to take hand in the matter, that they
will look at the matter in different
light and will be willing to submit the
question to arbitration. We are not
looking for trouble, but we have made
all the concessions we can afford I'M
der the present conditions and the
sooner the men become reconciled to
this the better it will be for everyone
concerned"
