PERPETRATORS ARE
 WORKING SLOWLY

Washington, June 15.-A further con- ference was held today In the offices of the interstate commerce commission by the arbitrators of the Georgia rail- road strike, former Secretary of tho Navy Hilary A. Herbert and Repre- sentative Hardwick of Georgia. An eff fort was made to agree upon the ap- pointment of the third arbitrator but 1t was unsuccessful.
 Several names were suggested, but none of them was satisfactory to the two arbitrartors.
 It Is likely that by the terms of the Erdman act the appointment of the third arbitrator will have to be made by the board of mediation, Chair man Knapp and Dr. Neill.
 It developed today that the arbi- trators were In communication with the powers which appointed them and that the probabilities are that no third arbitrator who Is not satisfactory to the parties in the controversy will be appointed.
 MT. Herbert said tonight that the names of the men considered and re- jected cannot be made public at this time. He declared that if the third arbitrator is not agreed upon by Sat urday he will be selected by the mediation board.
