Manaoers Make concessions.

New York, July 19.-The Eastern
railroads engaged in a wage contro-
versy with their $4,000 trainmen and
conductors, indicated last night their
willingness to leave with the board Of
mediation and conciliation appointed
by President Wilson the decision as
to which questions are to be submitted
for arbitration under the Newlands
act
In a letter to the leaders of the train
men, the conference committee of man
ayers said it seemed to them that the
immediate difference of opinion relat-
ing to the points to be submitted for
arbitration is matter to be consid-
cred by the board of mediation and con-
ciliation."
The managers had referred to their
demands that "all questions Of pay and
working conditions" be settled along
with the mems demands for better
wages.
The managers in the letter of July
l6 setting forth their eight grievances,
referred to them as the ones which the
railroads intend" to have incorporat-
ed in the agreement to arbitrate. The
roads, in their letter to the men last
night, while describing their position
as unchanged, expressed themselves as
willing" to refer their demands to
the mediation board.
President Lee of the brotherhood OF
Trainment commented upon the change
in wording. He expressed belief that
a comparison of the phraseology OF
the two letters indicated that a modi-
, fication of the roads position has taken
place within the last forty-eight hours.
In their letter the managers quoted
from the record of the meeting os-
tween the conference committee and
the trainmen's officials July 1S when
A. B. Garretson, president of the
Order of Railway Conductors, had been
asked the mems attitude. I'VE, our
SELVES, the record quoted Mr.. Garret-
son as saying, have not discussed the
! question of bringing mediators in. !
will say to you frankly that this condi.
Etion might readily arise; that if dis
agreement arose between us i. the
matter of formulating the stipulations
which the Newlands bin calls for that
it would undoubtedly be a desirable
thing to do"
The managers apparently quoted
this with the intention of showing thai
the trainmen themselves had suggest
ed possible differences in framing tn,
arbitration stipulations and had regard
ed the mediative body as the prope
one TO which such differences shoul
be referred.
