BIC RAILROAD STRIKE
IS TIMELY hVERTED
Management Of the Pennsylvania
Road West of Pittsburg
Comes to Time.
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers and the Company
Reach an Agreement.

WASHINGTON Dec. 10-The threat
ened strike of x the members of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
on the lines Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road west Of Pittsburg was averted
yesterday by an agreement reached
between the Brotherhood and the
Pennsylvania officials through the ef-
forts Of the Board Of Meditation, con-
snsting of Chairman Knapp Of the
Interstate Commerce commission, and
DR.. Charles P. Neill, commissioner of
labor. ...
Effect Of Agreement.
The agreement is victory for the
engineers, as they gained recognition
from General Manager G. L. Peck of
the Pennsylvania lines, who had re-
fused obstinately to meet them. It
was the arbitrary stand of Peck that
had provoked threats Of strike. The
Brotherhood wished to confer with
Peck on a list of grievances, and he
refused to receive a committee. The
Brotherhood, then desirous Of avoiding
q strike, applied for mediation, and
Knapp and Neill sat on the case. Their
finding was submitted to both sides q
few days ago, and at meeting here
the Brotherhood and the railroad de-
cided to accept it, 4 ".
h.. i. Decision Of. Mediators. -.
The mediators set forth that Peck
had refused to listen to the grievances
on the ground that the rules Of the
Pennsylvania provided that they first
must pass through the hands OF sub
ordinate officials. He held that, fol-
lowing the action Of the subordinates,
they could be appealed to him. and
when he insisted upon this procedure
the deadlock arose which almost pre-
cipitated 4 strike. The mediators
found that certain OF the grievances
had been submitted to subordinate Of
hcials. and that others had been car
ried direct to Peck. They recommend.
ed that in the present instance the
rule 80 vigorously upheld by Peck
should he waived. and that the gen
eral manager should grant forthwith
q hearing on all the grievances. This
recommendation was satisfactory to
both Sides, and the Endorsement Of it
in writing meant that the way had
been cleared for q final threshing out
of the requests of the engineers. 1T 10
expected that these grievances will he
adjusted annicably. u

i Old Age Pensions.
"As far as concerns those who have
been worn out, call your attention to
the fact that definite steps toward pro
viding old-age pensions have been
taken in many of our private indus
tries. These may be indefinitely ex-
tended through voluntary association
and contributory schemes, or through
the agency Of savings banks, as under
the recent Massachusetts plan To
strengthen these practical measures
should be our immediate duty; it is
not at present necessary to consider
the larger and more general govern
mental schemes that most European
governments have found themselves
obliged to adopt. d
Legislation Now Urgent,
Pending a thoroughgoing investiga-
ton and action there is certain legisla-
ton which should be enacted at once.
The law, passed at the last session Of
~OA-oNS SS0s 9AoASAAA6 IOAApCAo0\lOAA ~
certain classes of employees of the gov
ernment, should be extended to in
clude all employees of the government
and should be made more liberal in its
terms. There Is no good ground for
the distinction made I'M the law be-
tween those engage din hazardous oc-
cupations ana those not so engaged.
perhaps one Of the most striking
omissions in the law is that it does
not embrace peace officers and others
whose lives may be sacrificed in en-
forcing the laws of the United States.
The terms Of the act providing COM
pensation should be made more liberal
than in the present act. A years COM
pensatton is. not adequate for wage
earner's fa1nil yin the event of his
death by accident in the course of his
employnnnt. And in the event Of death
occurring SAY, ten or eleven months
after the accident, the family would
only receive as compensation the
equivalent of one or two months earn
ings. =
THE terms of the act are also a
hardship in prohibiting payment in
cases whre the accident is in any way
due to the negligence of the employed.
Sundry Recommendations.
"The congress should without fur
ther delay pass a model employers
liability act recently declared uncon-
| stitutional, on account Of apparently
including in Its provisions employees
engaged in intrastate commerce as
those engaged in Interstate commerce
has been held by tn local courts to be
still in effect SO far as it's provisions
apply to the District of Columbia. ]
renew my recommendation made In q
previous message that half-holidays be
granted during summer to- all wage
workers in government employ.
IT also renew my Recommendation
that the principle Of the eight-hour
days, should as rapidly, and as far as
practicable be extended to the entire
work being carried on by the govern
fment; the present law =, should be
amended to embrace contracts on those
public works which the present word
ing Of the act seems to exclude"
