RAIL BRoTHERHooDS REFUSE
TO ARBITRATE DEMANDS
New York, Aug. e.-Representa-
tives of 100000 trainmen employed
on 225 railroads of the United States
will not arbitrate demands for an
eight-hour day and other conces-
sions.
Armed with power to call a strike
tying up 100000 miles of railways of
the country, the union heads will dis
cuss the questions involved with rail
way officials, but will not consent to
calling an intermediary.
This was the notice served upon
railway managers today by A. B. Gar
rettson, head of the conductors
brotherhood. It brought the situa-
ton between the employers and en-
ployes to a deadlock within an hour
after the first of their scheduled con-
forences was called.
Elisha Lee, spokesman for the rail-
way managers, insisted the railroads
would demand arbitration.
The railroads proposed mediation.
Members of the federal mediation
and Cancellation board are now here,
but the brotherhood heads declare
they have no desire to see them.
With the deadlocking of the con-
ference, a recess was called. Rail
way managers Immediately went in
search of the government men, in
the hope that mediation might even
yet be possible.
