UNION HEADS DENY
TRA|NMEN Seeking
WAGE ARBITRATION
Claim That Offer Came
From Officials Of the
Railroads.

Indicating that a satisfactory settle
ment of the controversy now being
waged between officials and employees
of railroads in the Southeast could be
easily arranged IL conditions were as
represented by the railroads, but that
such is not the condition, Val Fitz-
patrick, vice president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, and A. b,
Garrettson, president of the Order OF
Railway Conductors, today gave out
the following statement:
"If the statement made by the rail-
road officials about the wages of brake
men in the Southeastern States Is cor
rect thcre should not be any serious
controversy about the wages OF the
men; Three dollars a DAY would be
The reference was to a statement
made yesterday by an official of the
Southern railroad and published In yes.
terday's Times, in which the official
less than 81 a day, as claimed by the
labor men, and that most of them re-
ceive a good deal nearer $3 day.
While the above quotation from Mr.
Fitzpatrick and Mr.. Garrettson was all
that could be learned officially, 1t was
intimated that there is no truth In the
report that the unions are seeking arbi-
tration. As matter of fact, the arbi-
tration proposal came from the railroad
managers last Saturday. and 1t Is ex-
tremely doubtful whether the trainmen
will accept 1t. 1t is said they will GER
tainly not accept II unless the terms
are entirely agreeable. N
BY midnight tonight the entire union
committee, composed of one represen-
tative from every division of every
railroad involved in the controversy,
will have arrived in this city and a
conference will be held tomorrow morn
ing. At 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
the managers will be met, and unless
something new delelops it Is probable
that the conferences that have been
held off and on for many months will
come to an end.
