NEW POSSIBILITY
FOR PEACE BETWEEN
ROADS AND F|REMEN
Railroad Officials Agree to
Arbitration Proceedings
Under Erdman Act.
May Avert Strike

New York, February l4.A new possi-
bility of peace between the 81 eastern
railroads and their $4,000 firemen who
have threatened to strike for higher wages
ana revised working conditions, appeared
tonight with fresh arbitration proposal
by the railroads and the break that
seemed Imminent during the day was
averted. temporarily, at least
The railroads, which have insisted upon
arbitration by a board OF seven men,
similar to tEat which decided the dis
pute with the engineers last year, while
the firemen demanded arbitration under
the Erdman act. now propose arbitration
by a board of six members, two represen-
tatiyes of the roads. two of the firemer
and two dstinterested members. to be ap-
pointed as the Erdman act provides
The roads offer also to retain, in the
arbitration proceedings all other fea-
lures of the Erdnan act, which the fire
men may desire.
The railroads proposition, given out
by the conference committee of man
agers, was Immediately submitted TO the
federal government officials who have
been trying to bring the parties together
and at once placed by the mediators be-
fore representatives of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Fireuen and Enginemen.
The roads made their new move after
day of many conferences. When break
seemed almost inevitable and the firemen
made It known that they had a strike
order in readiness and intimated they
would wait TO longer than midnight for
some concession. President Brown of the
New York Central sent out a hurry call
TO such presidents of the other affected
roads as could be reached. Several re-
sponded and conferred with MIR. Brown.
When the presidents adjourned they said
they would rot take the matter out of
the managers hands.
Thus fortified by the action of the PIES
idents the mana gers resumed their con-
ference tonight
A representative of the managers eN-
planned that one point for which the fire.
men particularly have contended was en-
bodied in the offer made. Under the Erd-
man act witnesses may be subpoenaed
and penalties for false testimony en-
forced. These provisions, it was stated,
the roads were willing to adopt.
At late hour Judge Knapp of the
United States commerce court and G..
w. w Hanger, acting commissioner OF
labor. the federal mediators, were still
in conference with President Carter OF
the Brotherhood of Firemen and Engine
men and other representatives of the fire
men.
