SLOW PROGRESS BY
MEDIATION BOARD
Government Officials Are En-
deavoring to Settle Troubles
of the Switchmen
Railroads Entering St. Paul Re-
fuse to Make Vacancies
for the Strikers

WASHINGTON, Dec. Silt is a
waiting game tonight in negotiations
for mediation of the swftchmen's strike
on railroads entering st. Paul.
All day the government mediation
board, consisting of Chairman Knapp
of the interstate commerce commission
and Commissioner of Labor Neil, to-
gether with II. B. Perham of the Or
der of Railway Telegraphers. head of
the railroad branch of the American
federation of labor, wrestled with the
problem of what to do in behalf of the
interests affected by the strike. but
without definite action
Meantime Perham has made no ap-
pointment with President Taft, who, it
is stated at the White House. has not
taken up the matter in any way.
The conference with the media tion
board was solicited by Perham, follow
ing the railroads refusal to make va
cancies for strikers, but other matters
including general conditions affecting
the men were considered.
Perham said that there would be no
conference tomorrow, unless some
thing extraordinary Develops, and tina /
he did not expect to confer again until
Monday, and that he did not expect in
the interval to do any telegraphic ne
gotiation.
The railroads say they have the sit
uation well in hand; strikers hold the
contrary. Switchmen want all of the
strikers reinstated without prejudice;
railroads which have employed strike
breakers refuse to make vacancies for
the strikers Something like $500
switchmen were said 10 be affected by
the strike originally, and the under
standing here is that nearly all that
number are still out.
