STRIKE AVERTED
Demands OF Rail Firemen Are
Sent to Arbitration.
TWO ARBlTERs ARE NAMED
Managers Of Eastern Lines Announce
Willingness to Submit Troubles
With Brotherhood to Eruman
Act Body.

New York, Feb. 19.-There will be
no tremen's strike on the eastern
railroads. The railroads have yielded
and agree to arbitrate under the Erd.
man act the controversy with the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen -.,u
The firemen had stood to a man for
this method of arbitration ever since
the deadlock began. The railroads
had stood firm for arbitration before
commission of ok or seven men.
Three men. acting under the law, will
decide the firemen's claims. Their
decision will be binding
Two Arbitrators Are Selected.
The firemen selected their represen-
tstve on the board of arbitrator as
soon as the railroads decision was an
nounced. He is Albert Philips of
Sacramento. Cal, vice-president of
their organization, The railroads Sc
lected as their man W. w. Atterbury,
vice-president and general manager Of
the Pennsylvania lines east Within
day or two these two men will sc.
leCt the third or neutral member
Within thirty days thereafter, the ar
bitrators must render their findings
Where they will meet was not an.
nounced.
Judge Martin A. Knapp of the
United States commerce court and G.
W, w. Hanger. acting federal commits
sioner of labor. acting as medfators
under the Erdman act, at the fire
mems request, conducted the negotia
tions which resulted in the agreement
to srbitrate.
Roads Oppose Erdman Act.
Throughout the mediation proceed
ings the railroad managers, bitterly OPP
posed arbitration under the Erdman
act. on the ground it was unfair 10
Llaoe SO much responsibility on the
shoulders of the odd man on the
board. They vehemently iterated this
protest in giving ground and declared
their their only reason for yielding
was that the public would not tolerate
a strike.
The firemen themselves admit the
defects of the Erdman act, and while
the present dispute will be settled un-
der the existing law. afterward the
firemen's president. w. s. Carter, will
meet with the. heads of other railway
organizations and representatives Of
the railroads to request congress to
amend the law In certain respects.
Question One Of Wages.
The question to come before the ar
bitrators is principally one Of wages
The firemen ask for increases, depend
ing on the size Of the locomotives,
giving them a wage varying from
1856 10 81 hundred miles. They ask
also for two firemen on the heavier
locomotives. The railroads already
had expressed a willingness to raise
wages, but not to the maximum de.
manded. To grant this, they assert,
would cost 'sl2 100000 year.
