ARBITRATION BOARD
 HOLDS A HEARING
Is Attempting to Settle Diff ferences Between Engi-

New York. July 15.--Representatives of 80 railroads east of Chicago and north of the Ohio river met official heads of the local unions of the en- gineers today before the commerce and Ia bor commission in an effort to set tie differences which recently threat ened to result in strike that, 1t was claimed, would have paralyzed the in dustries of the country. Increased pay estimated at s70O.ooO per year, and bet ter working conditions are involved.
 Oscar s. Straus. former Secretary of Commerce and Labor presided. Other members of the commission are Charles R. Van Hise, president of the Univer- slty of Wisconsin; Frederick N. Judson of St Louis, Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of the Reviews of Reviews; otto M. Eidlitz of New York contractor; Daniel Willard. president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and P. II. Morrissey. for mer president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
 Warren S Stone, chief of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers. occupied the whole afternoon presenting the case of the men
 We accepted the offer 10 submit our claim to this board for arbitration' V said MT Stone, as we believe we can win before any fair minded tribunal on earth We expect to meet every ques- ton that may be raised and to present absolute facts. Not only are the eyes of capital and labor watching the out come of this hearing, but organized la bor the world over Is waiting to learn whether the dawn of a new era is at hand or if we are 10 take n step back ward"
 MT. Stone said the men based their claims chiefly upon two grounds, the responsibility of the engineers while on duty, and the skill required. He pointed out Chat the engineer must pass rigid examination and be pronounced phys lically perfect before he Is given charge Of m engine. Insurance statistics show, said Mir Stone, that the average work ing life of locomotive engineer is only II years and seven days, and he added that if man hns only that much labor to sell he should be paid more than living wage.
 He also gave the outline and ex- plained the responsibility of the en- gineers who run on passenger trains, as having hundreds of lives In their hands and the strain they are constant ly under.
