(By Review Leased Wire. )

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-If the United States board of mediation and con ciliation, which was called in today fails to adjust the differences between the railways of the country and their 100000 employees, President Wilson will be asked to use his personal in- fiuence to avert a general strike. This statement was made today by rep resentative of the railway managers who have. been negotiating with the men since June for a peaceful settle ment.
 Late tonight officials of the federal mediators to bring the contending fac tons together were well under way. Six hours after the railway managers had served notice on the men that they would not withdraw their formal rejection of the workers demands and had proposed federal mediation. the mediators ana the managers were closeted in secret session. Mediation was suggested in lieu of arbitration under the Newlands act or by the in- terstate commerce commission pro posals, which had been rejected by the brotherhoods.
 What was discussed at the confer ence could not be divulged hy any Of those attending it, under the media

ton rules, but it was understood that the railroad representatives outlined their position in full and indicated how far they were willing to go il meeting the demands of the men. II was reported that the railways stood steadfastly for the main features of their contingent proposition made . the June conference, which conceded the shorter day but eliminated double compensation for different classes Hf services during the same working day.
 It was the failure of the representa- tives of the railways and the union to agree on double compensation clause that brought the June conference to a sudden end and resulted in the strike vote.
 The railroad managers. in present ing their case to the mediators were assisted by three experts on wages and rates, !. W. Higgins, former secre- tary of the association of western railways; G. c. Walber. secretary of the bureau of information of the east ern railways, and St Charles P. Neill, manager of the bureau of information of the southeastern railways.
 Tomorrow, it was announced by G. w. W. Hanger. member of the boari of mediators will hear the railroad employees side of the case, then the board will hold alternate conferences with the opposing factions
 When a basis for an understanding has been reached the railroads and men will be separately asked if they desire to place their cases in the hands of the board for final adjust ment. f~Ss
 Tt was pointed out by MT Hanger, however, that acceptance of boards offer of services is not obligatory on either side and if the brotherhoods refuse to accept the good offices of the mediators in reaching a settle ment then the situation will stand just as it was before the mediators stepped in.

PETROGRAD, Aug. 9.-General Let ichitschky, who a week ago, in spite of flooded rivers and heavy roads, be- gan anew his hammering of the right flank of Genera Count yon Bothmer's army, and by cavalry attack rook Ezerzany, has scored a ney victory by the capture of Tlumach, 10 miles farther to the northwest There has been little news from that section, but it is apparent that General Leti- chitschky has been following up his success along a front of 10 miles south of the Dneister in the face of German endorsements sent to stiyen von Bothmer's right wing.
 The taking of Tlumach cuts the railway between Stanislau, Tvs mientsa and Buczacz which has been utilized by the Austrians for supply ing the southern end of von Bothmer's s front, and gives the Russians another direct avenue of attack Sn Stanislau.
 The Austrians tried to offset the force of Letichitschky's assault by fierce attacks along the Koropice Riv- CT, northward, but without avail. They were repulsed with severe losses.
