TWO ARBITRATORS SELECTED
These In Turn to Choose Neutral
Member, Whose Vote Will Decide
Matter = Employers Objected All
Along to Placing So Much Power In
Hands of Any One Man.

New York, Feb. 19.-There will be
no firemen's strike on the eastern
railroads. The railroads yielded and
agreed to arbitrate under the Erdman
act the controversy with the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginenen.
The firemen had stood, to a man,
for this method of arbitration ever
since the deadlock began; the rail-
roads had stood firm for arbitration
before a commission Of six or seven
men.
Three men, acting under the law,
will decide the firemen's claims. Their
decision will be binding.
TWO Arbitrators Selected.
The fremen selected their repre-
sentative on the board of arbitrator
as soon as the railroads decision was
announced. He is Albert Phillips of
Sacramento, CAL, vice president of
their organization. The railroads
selected as their man w. w. After

Within day or two these two men
will select a third or neutral mem

the arbitrators must render their
findings. Where they will meet was
not announced.

mems request, conducted the negoti.
ations which resulted in the agree
ment to arbitrate.
Opposed Erdman Act.
Throughout the mediation proceed
ings the railroad managers bitterly
opposed arbitration under the Erdman
act, on the ground it was unfair to
place so much responsibility on the
shoulders of the odd man on the
board.
They vehemently reiterated this
protest in giving ground, and declared
that their only reason for yielding
was that the public would not tolerate
a strike.
Claim 1900 Are on Strike.
Akron, O., Feb. 19.-According to
figures given out at strike headquar-
tiers 1000 men and girl rubber work
ers are on strike. The police esti-
mate the number at less than 5000.
History of Two Arbitrators.
William w. Atterbury, the arbitra-
tor representing the railroads. was
born at New Albany, Ind, in 1866. and
his boyhood was spent in Detroit. He
graduated from Yale university and
entered the service Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad as apprentice in the
Altoona shops. He rose through sew
eral gradations to be superintendent
of motive power on the Pennsylvania
lines east Of Pittsburg, and was ap-
pointed general manager Jan. /. 1908,
and was elected successfully fifth and
fourth vice president and finally vice
president in charge OF operation in
1912.
Albert Phillips, the arbitrator Sc
lect~1 by the firemen, is about forty
years of age. and became fireman
on the Sacramento division of the
Southern Pacific about fifteen years
ago. He was promoted to be an en-
gineer in 1908, but remained In the
of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, Of which he became

highways will do more to settle the
waste lands OF the state than any
other agency. The matter is now re-
ceiving the greatest amount OF at.
tention from both senators and repre-
sentatives and will soon be the sub
ject OF official consideration.
The department is asking for
$1,000,000 for the next two years
campaign, plus $3.50, 900 deficiency bill
and plus S250,OOQ as a starter on. the
proposed trunk highways. This makes
a total of nearly s1,5OO,O0O, a tidy
sum that looks big to the taxpayers,
but the importance of the plan pro-
posed is believed to warrant liberal
consideration and public approval is
believed certain.

MITCHELL'S CASE ARGUED
Test of Governors Power in
Making Appointments.

Albany. June l6.-The Court Of Appeals
was called upon to-day for the first time
10 interpret the Governors powers 20
make appointments TO state Offices. The
question IS involved in the action con-
corning the legality Of Governor Sulzer 3
appointment Of John Mitchell. Of Mount
Vernon. as State Labor Comml ssioner.
The Appellate Division, Sd Department.
affirmed an order Of Supreme Court JUS
tice Chester UNFOLDING the contention OF
Attorney General Carmody, that Gov
ernor Sulzer was without legal authority
to appoint Mr. Mitchell
The Attorney General appeared in per-
son to-day 10 ask the court 10 sustain
the lower courts. Former Justice d. Cady
Herrick. OF Albany, by designation Of the
Governor. represented Mr. Mitchell.
The statute in this case said Mr..
Carmody. requires the confirmation Of
the Senate. This is in accordance with
the theory OF our state and federal gov
eminent. pursuant to which checks and
balances are established 10 prevent con-
centrated and arbitrary exercise OF
power. The Governor himself is given
check upon legislation by his veto power.
The Senate is given a check upon the
Governor i'm regard TO his appointments"
The Attorney General contended that
the office IS declared to be vacant by law
az the expiration OF the vacancy periods
mentioned in the statute. and that in
this case the vacancy occurred in De-
cember 81. 1912: that the Senate con-
vened the following day. and therefore
the Governor had an opportunity Of
sending I'm name. and that until he did
so and his nominee was confirmed the
last incumbent held over. pursuant TO
the express provisions OF statute.
Justice Herrick argued that the resis-
nation Of Mr.. Williams as Commission.
err after the Legislature had adjourned.
created a vacancy which the Governor
was authorized 20 fiji without the con-
currence of the Senate.

This will call attention TO what IS rees,s.
ed as the wise course Of getting the part

Senator Cummins is at the head n,

gressive Republicans take the view tia,
the party is working out its own reorgar.
ization more rapidly than the leaders n
Washington realize. and that the problem
Of smoothing the way for the next rev.
lar convention can be disposed Of withou,
difficulty when the time comes.
Questions of reducing Southern repre-.

Republican National Committee author
lied the chairman TO call meeting OF
the full committee within sixty days after
the adjournment of Congress, decision
which at the time appeared to meet With
the approval OF all factions Of the Re-
publican party.
II currency legislation is taken up .
is possible that Congress will remain untl
December. In this event the meeting Of
the Republican National Committee woua
probably not be called until next year.
and still further time would slapse before
the convention could meet.
