President Wilson requesting him to
inform them whom he would appoint

NO announcement was made concern

AT a joint meeting this afternoon no
decision was reached, so far as an
nounccmcnt was made. as 10 whether
the trainmen purpose to yield to the
railroads demands that "ail questions
of dispute be submitted To arbitra-
ton.
This demand constitutes one of the
most uncertain points in controversy
as the trainmen regard IL with anxiety
and may bitterly oppose granting il.
Telegram to Wilson.
The telegram sent to President Will
son reads in part:
The conductors and trainmen and
the conference committee of managers
OF the Eastern railroads are jointly
desiriouS of the immediate services of
the board Of mediation and concilia-

While nothing official has developed
to indicate that the Erie may eventual
~ consent to become a party of the

an officer of the road declared that
while the Erie's position at present is
unchanged. the roads representatives
here are waiting for the return OF

purifier. S. s. S.. Will start activities in
the cellular tissues of the body and
soon show decided changes In the skin.
The skin is but fine network of tiny
blood vessels, and the specific action Of
6. g. S. is declared to be a pronounced
stimulation of the activity OF these
cells. Certain 1t is that in a surpris-
ingly short time any skin eruption
shows a most remarkable change; 1t
begins to dry up; the skin scales OF
in tiny fecks. and soon a layer Of
clear. healthy and firm tissue results.
The reason for this Is In tho peculiar
stimulation Of s. s. s., which enables
the cells in the skin to select from the
blood the nutriment 1t requires for
regeneration.
You can obtain S. 8. s. at any we'll

Demands of Raiironds.
The roads demands tonight were
issued in the form OF a letter made
public shortly after IT was sent TO the
strike leaders.
The demands Of the roads are eight in
number. The letter containing II reads:
referring TO our letter OF July a.
and TO our conference this morning.
we hand YOU herewith for your in
formation. a list of these questions con
corning rates of pay and working con
ditions OF conductors and trainmen
which the railroads intend To have In
corporated In the agreement TO arbi-
trate:
u. When a minimum days wage is
paid In any class of service. IL shall on
title the railroad TO the full mileage
or hours Of service paid for.
80. In no case shall double compen-
sation be paid.
%. For liking the basis OF compen-
sation-that is, whether passenger.
through or local freight, yard, ctc.--the
same classification shall be- applied TO
all members OF the train crew
"A All monthly guarantees shall be
abolished
70 That consideration be given to
IL reduction of existing rates OF pay
on yard brakeInen and OF passenger
conductors and trainmen on long, CON
tunity TO make excessive mileage in
limited number of hours
% Employees in two or more classes
OF service on continuous duty or under
continuous pay shall be paid the rates
applicable TO the different services per-
formed with n minimum equal 10 ten
hours at the lowest paid service
''7. On passenger and freight trains,
where, under extra crew law, addi-
tional men are required. the rate for all
brakemen shall be 20 per cent below
rates established for brakemen on
trains not affected by such laws.
IS. The rates and rules awarded by
this arbitration shall supcrsede rates
and rules now in effect which are in
conflict herewith"
Unoflicially. trainmen leaders to-
night declared that each OF the rules
the roads want arbitrated is ono which
the Union Pacific succeeded in having
recognized only after a hong struggle,
and several of them are regarded by
the men as being important as their
wage demand.
1t would cause no surprise in quar-
tiers where the progress OF the dispute
is being properly watched. if the train
men were 10 assert emphatically to-
morrow their unwillingness TO submit
10 arbitration any but their own wage
increase demands. Before any arbi =
tration stipulation can be signed, both
sides must agree as to what matters
are to be arbitrated. If the railroads
refuse to agree TO the framing of a
stipulation that does not provide for
arbitrating their demands, and II tho
trainmen decide to insist upon con-
sideration OF only the items in their
wage dispute, u deadlock of the whole
arbitration proceeding is tho certain
result. representatives of both roads
and trainmen pointed out tonight.
