HE Promises That Congress- VIII Pass

Out.

sign t-sscretary Wilecn Loses
Out.
The house and the senate 9;
Washington promptly passed the
Newlands amendment to the Erd-
man act. In accordance with the
agreement which was reached at
Mondays White House conference
and hte president affixed his sigma
ture to the new act. This means that
the governments pledge to the repre-
sentatiyes Of the railroads and Of the
employees at the conference has been
carried out and II only remains now
for the president TO appoint the board
OF mediation and Cancellation for the
wheels TO set In operation for the ar
bitration OF the controversy between
the eastern railroads and their con-
ductors and trainmen. The White
House issued this statement immedi-
ately after the president had signed
the bill:
THE president signed the Newlands
act as soon as II reached the White
House and announced through his
secretary Mr.. Tumuty that he would
proceed as soon as possibly con-
sistent with the Importance of the APP
pointments with the selection OF the
commissioner OF mediation as provid
ed in the Newlands act"
The railroad and labor representa-
tiyes thereupon promised TO submit
their contentious to arbitration. and
there will be no strike OF the train
men OF the Eastern roads. at least un-
til after such arbitration has taken
place.
President Wilson characterized the
conference as Simple and satisfGc-
tory"
Secretary Wilson Loses.
The Clayton amendment to the bill,
which was fathered In the house by
Secretary of Labor Wilson, and which
OF his department, now becomes a
dead letter, and the arbitration board
will BE entirely Independent OF depart
mental interference in its delibera-
lions.
The strike has already been ordered
by the Brotherhood OF Railroad Train
men and the Order OF Railway Con-
ductors. The roads having refused 10
arbitrate under the Erdman act in It's
present form, and the employees hay-
ing refused to modify their demands,
apparently the only compromise pos
sible lay In alteration OF the Law by
increasing the number OF arbitrators
from three to six. thus removing the
railroads chief objection to the act.
