this city. came lengthy declaration
last night from Rev. w. Russell Bowie,
rector of St Paurs Episcopal Church,

ested In averting a strike Of l0OO 600

eastern railroads, word came to- night
from Washington that an attempt will
be made on Saturday to- put through the
House the bill amending the Erdman
&ct to provide for an enlargement Of
the board of arbitration authorized in
labor disputes on railroads
The bill already has passed the Sen
ate. and In amended form has been re-
ported by the House Judiciary Com
mittec. The bill was drawn up by a
committee including in Its member

bers OF the House have been impor-
tuned to hurry the bill in order that its
provisions may OFFER a solution of the
present dispute.
Both Sides Mark Time.
Both sides marked time to-day. Many

The trainmen and conductors were
busy assembling the general commit

city Saturday and Sunday to ratify

A marked diminution of confidence
was noticed in the attitude of the train
men and conductors delegates at the
Broadway Central and Herald Square

statements to-day.
President w. c.. lee. of the train
men, advanced figures of earnings of
employees on railroads in less produc-

poorer railroads OF the West and South
pay higher wages than the wealthy
Eastern roads.
Elisha Lee. chairman OF the confer

that these higher wages were secured
by coertion-the same methods at pres

railroads.
President Lee, of the trainmen, saws
that 1t Is no concern OF his that the
cost of the increases In wages the
conductors and trainmen ask will
