Federal MediatOrs VIII Take
Up Wage Question in
Chicago.

CHICAGO, July is.-The agreement OF
the englnemen and tralnmen OF the West
ern railroads to the request OF the man
ayers that they submit their demands for
wage increases to the United States Board
Of Mediation and Cancellation has greatly
relieved the situation.
The board will meet here on Monday
to consider the controversy.
The offer of mediation was made by
William l.. Chambers. chairman of the
Federal Board of Mediation and Concilia-
ton and came as a result of a request by
A. w. Trenholm. chairman OF the COM
mittee OF general managers. which was
made In spite of formal announcement
that the employees would decline to ac-
ccpt mediation. The latter charged that
in the past the railroads had refused to
abide by the findings OF arbitration boards.
Tie refusal and statement were con-
tanned in letter signed by W. :. Stone
for the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
glners and w. :. Carter for the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Firemen and Engine
