railroads agreed at the White House
yesterday to submit their differences
to arbitration under the provisions of

ident Wilson and congressional lead
ers promised to make law by night.
In the meantime no strike will be de-
clared, officials of the employees
brotherhoods agreeing to an armistice
until Wednesday night.
This victory for arbitration over the
strike was the result of two-hour
conference at the White House be-
tween President Wilson and congress
sional leaders, both Republicans and
Democrats, the presidents and man.
ayers of the railroads and representa-
tives of the Tainmen and conductors.
The agreement not only averted, tenn

out differences of opinion that had
arisen in both houses as to the compo-
sition of the board OF mediation and
provided a permanent commission to
deal with railroad disputes.
The President announced that he
would sign measure such as agreed
upon, and described the conference as
