BIG RAILROAD
STRIKE AvERTED
rRAiNMEN ACCEPT OFFER or U. s.
BOARD OF MEDIATION AN0
CANCELLATION.
AGREE ON ARBITRATION
HEARINGS TO AMICA8LY ADJUST
DIFFERENCES TO BE HELD
IN NEW YORK.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New rk.-Representatiyes of the
railroad employees announced on the
9th that they would accept the offer
OF the United States Board of medi-
alton and Cancellation to submit their
demands TO mediation provided imme-
diate action was taken.
Acceptance of mediation by the em-
ployes came as a surprise. It had been
officially stated by Brotherhood Off
GERS that they would discuss the diff
ferences with tine railroad managers
but that third party was unneces-
sary.'
II is believed the personal pleas OF
members of the United States board
brought about the acceptance by the
trsinmen. 1t means at least postpone
Inent OF the strike that would have
called out 100000 men and tied up
100000 miles of railway on 225 rail-
roads of the country.
Armed with power to call strike,
union heads expressed Willingness to
discuss the questions involve with
railway officials, but would Il, con
sent to calling the federal board. No
tice to this effect was served upon the
railway managers by A b. Garretson.
head of the Conductors Brotherhood.
IT brought the situation to a deadlock
within an hour after the first of the
scheduled conferences between the EN-
ployers and employees was called. Eli
sha Lee. spokesman for the railway
managers, declared the railroads would
insist upon mediation. The meeting
then broke up, and the railway man
ayers set out in search of the govern
ment mediators.
Chairman Lee, in rejecting the
Brotherhood's demands and proposing
mediation made a statement in part
as follows: After such consideration
1t is our Judgment that the propos-
ais which the men have supported by
their vote involve such extraordinary
changes in operating methods and
such radical revision in established
bases OF compensation as to make it
apparent that there is little probabil-
ity of our being able to harmoniZe
our differences of opinion unless this
result can be brought about through
the Federal Board of Mediation and
Cancellation, which was created to as
sist the parties in Just such circum-
stances as now confront u.s. The ma
tional conference committee OF the
railways is as sincerely anxious as
your committee can be to reach some
amicable adjustment of the matters
involved in the present controversy.
hut we are convinced that in the end
We shall have to invoke the friendly
offices of the Federal Board of Me-
diation."

BIG MAJORITY FAVOR STRIKE.
Conference Adjourns Until Managers
Confer on Crisis That May Para
I'VE Rail Traffic of Nation

New York, Aug. 9.-Representatives
of several hundred thousand train en-
ployes on 100000 miles of steam rail
ways covering the United States came
back to New York stiffened by an
overwhelming vote favoring a strike
taken by the four big brotherhoods-
ranging from S5 per cent by the con-
ductors to 81 per cent by the brake
men and 1873 per cent by the firemen.
The total of the engineers vote has
not been compiled. The men, headed
by Grand Chief Austin B. Garretson
of the Order of Railway Conductors,
put the strike vote up to the commit
tee of railroad managers with whom
they had broken June Is. The man
ayers, through Chairman Elisha Lee
of the Pennsylvania, asked for an ad-
journment until today to consider
their renewed demand for an eight
hour day and time and half for over
time in the freight service.
The request for recess was grant.
ed after Mr.. Garretson had said the
time for answers made up of "contin-
gencies based on contingencies" is
past, and that definite counter
proposal or refusal of the demands
alone will be received.
