Representatives of the Drotherhoods
declined to discuss the possibility OF
the presidents appeal in any way.
They asserted the blame for the
present deadlock lies in the deter
mination of the railway managers to
drag into the argument contentious
unrelated to their demands. They
also declared the railroads were
indifferent" In their attitude, and
not inclined to meet the employees
half way.
Representatives OF the railways
were equally non-conmittal over the
prospect Of peace. They declared
they had offered to mediate OF arbi-
trate without success.

rived at the same time. After con-
ference with the president, he said
all engagements at the white house
had geen cancelled for the day, and
the president would give his undivid-
ed attention TO the claims of the con-
fIicting interests. Before meeting
the men. the president planned to
hear from Judge Chambers OF the
federal board OF mediation and con-
Citation a full report OF the hearings
in New York which resulted in rail
road employees refusing mediation or
arbitration, or, as Judge Knapp of
the board said, ANY, other plan or
method for a peaceful settlement OF
the controversy"
In spite of the apparent absolute
deadlock in the negotiations, there
was a strong belief among admins
tration officials that the president
would be able to work out a solution
of the problem.
President Has Powers.
Judge Chambers said:
"The president is vested with
greater powers than we. He has
sources of direct appeal which only
he can use with full effect. / am
hopeful and confident that when he
talks to the men interested in this
dispute. he will bring about a sat
isfactory settlement. l believe he
will"
AS to the relative merits of the
contentious of the parties, Judge
Chambers would not commit him.

eral board did not come to Washing
