The threatened strike of the locomo-

the present.

United States commerce court. and

the presidents of the railroads having
approved this action.
AS the engineers. after having voted
to strike. agreed to the mediation
proposition on Monday night. this
means that the amicable adjustment
of the differences between the engi.
neers and the roads rests with the
federal representatives who offered
their services. Should mediation fail.
there Is still a chance for arbitration,
making the possibilities OF q strike
even more remote.
Captain James c. Stuart, vice presi-
man OF the conference committee or
the railroads which has been nego-
tiating with the engineers since jan
uary. accepted the offer OF Judge
Knapp and Commissioner Neill in
short note which was handed to Com
missioner Neill at the Hotel Manhat-
tain. Soon after that Chief w. 8.
Stone and Deputy Chiefs Burgess and
Cadie called on Commissioner Neill.
who informed them officially that the
railroads had agreed TO mediation.
There had been some fear on the part
Of the leaders of the engineers that
the railroads would insist upon arbi-
tration or nothing
According to the plans made. Com
missioner Neill will have a conference
with the conference committee OF the
railroad managers. Later Commits
sioner Neill and Judge Knapp will
meet Chief Stone and the advisory
committee of fifty chairmen. From the
railroad managers Mr.. Neill will OBJ

the engineers will make known the
terms they are willing to accept.
The railroad presidents and manag-

convince the arbtrators that they can
not advance the wages of the locomo-
tive engineers without giving ear to
appeals OF other employees. and that
to pay the men more would necessi-
tate higher freight rates.
The Brotherhood has asserted its
confidence in Judke Knapp and Com
missioner Neill and credits them with
ability to settle the controversy hon.
orably for both sides.

manned in the background. delegating
