Develops New Phase.
NEW YORK, July 15.-With to-
days passage by Congress OF the New
lands bill to provide an arbitration
medium Tor settling wage differences
between the eastern railroads and
their $4,000 conductors and trainmen,
new phase of the controversy de-
veioped through announcement by the
railroads that they will ask the board
which considers the demands OF the
employees TO take up also the griev-
ances OF the roads against the men,.
This angle OF the situation ovefshad-
ows for the moment at least even the
determined stand taken by the Erie
system that IT will not in any event
submit its cause TO arbitration.
Chairman Elisha Lee, OF the con-
ference committee of managers tonight!
said that the railroads would demand
arbitration which would take into con-
sideration all questions OF differences
between the employer and the em-l
ployed. ii
He alluded TO the wording OF the let
ter in which the conference committee
agreed to arbitrate under the New
lands legislation. The roads we're will
ing TO submit to arbitration by a;
bed board; as provided in the Newlandsi
bill. the letter read, "all questions OF
rates OF pay and working conditions
OF their conductors and trainmen
Grievances OF Both Sides.
The language or our letter is very
clear said Mr.. Lee tonight. I'VE
meant, and we mean, just what iii
says. We feel that IL is right to ask
for arbitration which takes into con-
sideration the grievances OF the rail-
roads as well as the grievances of the
employees"
Mr.. Lee declared that the men had
always been urgent for arbitration up
ward, but never had been willing to
have the railroads questions arbitra-
ted together with their own demands
He said the conference committee
would demand that the whole question
OF differences between the companies
and the employees be gone into with
out reserve.
When Chairman Elisha Lees state
ment in behalf OF the roads was con-
xeyed TO Messrs. a. b. Garrettson and
W. G.. Lee, heads of the conductors
and trainmen's organizations. respec-
lively. they would not comment upon
the matter. but said they might have
statement 10 make later.
