There is only slight difference be-
tween the opposing sides on the wage
question. The engineers will arbi-
trate this difference, but the railroads,
il is said, now want the whole matter
to go to arbitration under the Erd-
man act. II was learned that despite
the fact that the two parties at issue
were only trifing percentage of
wage schedule apart, each side saw
I'm the efforts of the other a matter OF
grave import, which overshadowed
more than the dollars and cents in
volved, and hence each was unwilling
to come farther.

they were when Mediator Neih was
called in. Then the engineers were
asking for an approximate increase
I'm wages OF 10 per cent and the rail-
roads were Offering approximately 9h
per cent. II was unofficially admitted
