MEDIATION STARTS

The United States board of media
ton and Cancellation will meet today
to take up the differences between
the western railroads and representa-
tives Of engineers and firemen. The
hearings will be held at the Congress
Hotel.
Pending the action of the board the
negotiations between the men and
the roads are off. The men have en-

their willingness to prevent a strike.
However, they are vastly suspicious

One labor official said:
Eve do not intend to bind ourselves
in an agreement which will defeat our
efforts to gain an increase in wages,
Our experiences in the past have
shown us that the railroads have fail
ed to live up to the awards of the
mediators. We will meet with the
managers and the mediators Monday.
''If the meeting, results satisfactory
it is possible we may agree to submit
the matter to arbitration. We are firm
in our demands ald unless the man
ayers show some evidence of grant
