Settlement of Differences Is Already in PrOspect--Measure May Be
 Law by Night
TRUCE DECLARED PENDING LEGISLATION
Mrs. Hartman an Important Factor In Ar- ranging Conference Yesterday at Which Way Our Disastrous Plight Became
 Clear-SItuatiOn Much Improved

Washington, July 15.-The next step in paving the way for a special settle ment of the wage dispute between the Eastern Railroads and their trainmen was in prospect today when the House assembled to pass the NewIands bill amending the Erdman act to provide arbitration in manner satisfactorily to the roads and men, and the Senate assembled to accept the changes which 1t had been agreed at the White House to make in the bill.
 All sides expected the Newlands bill would be out of Congress and become law by night. President Wilson has said he would sign the measure in- mediateIy. Meanwhile there is truce between the railroads and their men. Both sides have agreed to submit their differences to arbitration under the new terms that will be provided.
 With the passage of new law, the selection of a government commission CT of mediation is the next step. He and will hold office seven years. Among those whose names are being discussed for the place are Martin A. Knapp, now presiding judge of the Commerce Court; Dr. Chas. F. Neill former commissioner of labor, both of whom have been identified with the settlement of wage disputes under the
 
 Amber, who also has served as a. mediator under the law. His last ser vice was in the recent dispute between the Eastern roads and their firemen.
 Just how yesterdays White House conference was brought about became known today when officials there stat ed that Mrs. J. Borden Hartman of the New Industrial commission, had informed them that a strike was inn nninent unless an agreement on a. board of mediation could be secured. As result of her message both Presi- lent Wilson and Secretary Wilson were communicated with by Secretary Tumulty and the conference subse- quent1y was arranged with the help of Seth Low, president of the National Civic Federation.
 The arguments made by the train men and conductors representatives for an independent tribunal to settle labor disputes also became known to- day. A. R. Garretson of the Order of Railway Conductors declared that the demand for an independent com mission Tad been begun before the department of labor was created, and therefore the assertion meant ID re- neetlon c1 the secretary of labor in opre sing the proposal to have the

SaIesgirl Tells
 Police Story Of White Slave Threat

The story of Miss Amy Schindler, who through her father, Lincoln s. Schindler, has appealed to the police to investigate white slavery threats, is today being investigated thoroughly by the local police, who are inclined to scout the weird tale of the complain ant.
 Several days ago Schindler, whose daughter appears nearly prostrated by fear and fright at her experience, ap- pealed to Captain of Detectives George Arnold He said that while his daugh- ter, 'fwho works as a salesWoman III the DiIlon's millinery store was wait ing upon customers a woman of for eign birth approached her and asked that she visit a Water street residence and try on some hats. The request was refused and the woman left few days later she again appeared and seeking Miss schindler renewed her reauest. Again this was refused and Miss Schindler alleges that the woman then got very angry and said that if she did not go to Water street she would have trouble. The little mil liner was extremely upset and becom- ing more and more nervous and appre-
 Further investigation upon the part of MT. ,Schind1er confirmed his daugh- ter's statements and impressed him with the belief that white slavery ex- ists in this city. To Captain Arnold he stated in letter that he was con vinced that cadets were taking this method of securing their victims di- rectly from the shops and large de- partment stores, finding this method easier today than the old. fashioned kidnapping process.
 Detective Sergeant Peter Hall, whose familiarity with this class of cases makes him an authority. has been working upon the case since it's incep- tion, and has as yet been unable 10 locate the woman alleged to have

MORE MILK STATIONS
 NEEDED FOR INFANTS

More milk stations are needed in Bridgeport. This is the belief of the local officials of the Board of Health who, through the Visiting Nurse as- sociatton, keenly watch the good be- ing done for infants in the poorer section by the distribution of certified fluid.
 An instance has, been discovered in the North End where poverty stricken mother, too poor to buy need ed milk for her infant, had to send to the East Side station for her sup ply.
 It is believed that an attempt will be made to have the association es- tablish an additional station some where in the North End.

COTTON BROKERS ANGRY
Fear Tariff Bill Tax on Futures
Would Kill Trading.
PRINCIPAL and interest PAYABLE in London in Sterling, in

Members OF tho Cotton Exchange were
much aroused yesterday over the pro-
vision inserted In the new tariff bill levy
ing a tax OF one-tenth OF one cent a
pound on all cotton for future delivery.
A special committee was appointed TO
formulate a protest, which will be for
warded to Washington.
There was no effort 10 conceal the fact
that the proposed tax is regarded as
serious menace TO the business OF the
Cotton Exchange. Several members said
that powerful pressure In favor OF the
bill will undoubtedly be brought to bear
by the Southern faction In Congress. The
cotton grower. II was pointed out. Is bit
terly opposed to tho cotton future bust
ness as II is conducted on the New York
Cotton Exchange and TO a lesser degree
on the New Orleans exchange on ac-
count OF its effect on prices for the
staple.
The exchange is hopeful. however, that
the bill in its present form will fail On
account OF its discriminatory character
II is contended that trading in grain and
produce futures Is essentially the same as
that in cotton. II is estimated that all but
3 per cent of the business done by cotton
brokers is in futures. and should this
feature be eliminated II Is believed that
most of the cotton business now done
hero would be driven TO Liverpool.
