Washington, July 13.-One of the OBJ
stacles in the way of the settlement OF
the proposed strike of the conductors ana
trainnen Of the Eastern railroads wll
probably be obviated tomorrow at the
conference which the President Will hold
at the White House with representatives
Of the railroads. railroad employees and
the Civic Federation.
The President will consider the proposed
substitute for the Erdman act which Will
pave the way for the appointment of an
arbitration board adequate TO consider
and pass upon the question of wages
upon which the present controversy turns
The White House conference will not be
neld until late in the afternoon. II seems
probable tonight that the House Will
pass the substitute measure on Tuesday.
though Secretary Wilson. who proposed
the amendments which have caused the
delay said tonight that he had not
changed his mind.
The Board Of Mediation and Conciia-
ton, under the Senate bill, is not associ-
ated in any way with the Department of
Labor Those opposed to the House bill
hold that If the board is removed from
the influence of any department the like
Hhood of friction will be minimized. and
vet there will be less suspicion that polit-
!cal influence may be eXerted.

CONSERVATION
BOARD MAKES
APPROPRIATIONS

The supreme court will be asked TO
decide on the division of S224,2o2.0S,
the balance of the special income tax
receipts on hand in the territorial.
treasury when the new special income
tax law went into effect. This was
determined at a meeting OF the con-
servation committee at Governor
Frear's Office yesterday. Such action
was forecasted in the Star-Bulletin
last week. - -...:.. -. ~.
The question, to be submitted on
an agreed statement OF facts, is wheth-
er the division shall be made accord
ing to the old law or the new one.
The former statute, superseded by the
new one April 80 of the present year,
gave the conservation board 25 per
cent CT the receipts and the immigra-
lion board 70 per cent The new takes
IS per cent from immigration and
gives it to agriculture and forestry.
The conservation board yesterday
apportioned most of it's share of the
receipts for the next year, giving $15,-
900 to the federal agriculture expert
ment station to help conduct the mar
heting division, which was transferred
by the last legislature from the board
of immigration to the experiment sta
ton. An additional $500 was award
ed the station for experimental agri
cultural work.
Fifteen thousand dollars was set
aside for the topographic survey,
which is expected to finish its maps
for the islands of Oahu and Hawaii.
As told yesterday in the StarBulletin,
about $4,000 is saved to the territory
by the action of the war department
in permitting the use of the topograph-
ic maps of Oahu already finished by
the army engineers.
The sum of $24uU was set aside for
the investigation of water sources and
$4,000 for the live stock experimental
work of the College of Hawaii The
latter allotment, for the biennial pc
Rod, is to be available in lump sum
and will go principally to the construc-
ton of new buildings
