SIDES PREPARE
FOR MEDIATION
Trainmen and Railway Officials
Spend Day Going Over
Peace Plans.

Representatives of the two parties to
the dispute over demands made by 1900
conductors and trainmen of the railway
companies operating in the Southeastern
States for an increase in wages OF from
Is to 25 per cent spent yesterday and
last night preparing their cases for SUBJ
mission to Chief Justice Martin A.
Knapp. of the Commerce Court. and
who. It is expected, will be prepared to
undertake mediation under the provisions
Of the Erdman act Monday.
That Chief Justice Knapp and Mr..
Neill will be here Monday is not yet
certain. The latter is in Norfolk for the
purpose OF mediating between officials
and employees OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio. the Norfolk and Western. and the
Virginian Railway over a question of
wages. Chief Justice Knapp is in New
York. Both men, however, have accept
ed the Office Of mediator. and it is be-
Eeved will commence mediation as soon
as possible.
The Erdman act. under which the me-
diation step was agreed to yesterday,
provides for the creation of a board OF
two mediators, who may. at the request
of either or both parties to a labor
dispute, be called upon to act as me-
diators between the disputing parties.
In the event that one side or the other,
or both sides, refuses to accept the rec
ommendation OF the mediators, then the
controversy reverts to the stage at which
II was when mediation was agreed upon.
The theory OF mediation is that outside
parties. unbiased and nonpartisan, can
probably suggest a way out of the diff
Guilty which, If made by one side to the
controversy, would be looked upon with
suspicion by the other side.
When the mediators have made their
recommendations their work is done, and
it is left entirely to the contending par
ties to accept or reject the propositions.
Experience shows. II is claimed, that in
labor controversies where mediators have
been named a peaceful settlement of the
dispute has invar6bly followed.
Since the Erdman act went into effect
in 1895 about fifty big railroad wage dis
putes have been settled by mediation
and arbitration and costly strikes svert-

justification for the American Fedora

the campaign of that year. the princi-

Labor Representatives Elected.
six Republicans trade unionists. with
paid-up union cards. were elected.
In 1910 the political complexion Of the
House of Representatives was changed
and fifteen trade unionists were elected
to Congress. but in addition to the cleo

a large number of antagonistic Republi-

organized labor campaign when they
sought reelection. and men pledged to

New York, Nov. 2-The Countess Of

she had found the noise OF New York

that there Is any one alive at all in

The only thing the countess did like
was a baseball game she witnessed. 1t
is an experience that she never wants to
forget. she said. She says she considers
baseball vastly superior to cricket be-

Oysters for
tuberculosis,
Say Physicians

London. Nov. 2-Oysters are recon-
mended as a tonic for tuberculosis pa
tents by no less an authority than the
Lancet. 1t has been known that the
drinking Of a small quantity OF sea water
before meals Is Of great benefit to suf-
ferers from the white plague. but to
most OF them It il distasteful. This diff
hculty. the Lancet points out, may be
overcome by the use OF oysters. and
NJ. J. Charles and NJ. B. Laquet strongly
recommend II. Six large oysters. fresh
or previously impregnated with sea
water. contain in their shells from fifty
Eve to sixty grams Of this liquid. This
amount closely approximates that usual
ly prescribed. The clinical results thus
obtained have been most satisfactory
and quito comparable to those following
the simple ingestion of sea water.
