MEDIATORS HOLD
FIRST CONFERENCE
Board Takes First Step to Pre-
vent Rail Strike.
RAIL MANAGERS GIVE TERMS
Deliberations Held Secret Judge
Knapp Says Settlement May Be
Reached soon-Employee op-
posed to Arbitration.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE United
states board of mediation and con-
ciliation held q conference with
committee representing the four broth
erhoods OF railway employees in their
attempt to mediate the controversy be-
tween the railroad men and the 225
railway systems over the demand tor
an eight-hour day and extra pay for
overtime.
The mediators held their first con-
ference with the national conference
committee OF railway managers. VIII
fiam = Chambers. one of the media
tors, said afterward that the railroad
managers told the board how far they
we're prepared to 30 In an attempt
to avoid strike and that the manu-
gers made their side of the argument
plain.
These deliberations were secret. Mr..
Chambers said the medintors would
have much better idea of the situa-
tion after talking with the employees
committee.
Three Possible Results.
There are three possible results Of
the mediation. One Is that the nan-
ayers and workers sign un agreement
Another Is that the mediatOrs will
be able to induce both parties to CON
sent to arbitration, II mediation fails.
The third possibility is that the fed
eral board will fall In both these en-
deavOrs.
Il was predicted that II the board
psould be unable to compose the diff
ferences, President Wilson would ask
representatives Of the contending fuc-
lions to meet him In Washington and
that he would ask them to arbltrate
their differences.
The mediators announced that no
statement would be forthcoming from
them until they either have succeeded
or failed.
F. Lose Faith in Arbitration.
IL Is understood that the labor lead
ers pin their hopes of settling the dis
Dute upon mediation rather than ar
bitration. now that the managers have
failed to agree with them. They are
opposed to arbitration.
w. s. Carter, president of the Broth
erhood OF Railway Enginemen and
Firemen, said:
Arbitration Is n gambling game,
even when the dice are not loaded.
Railway employees have lost faith In
the justice Of arbitration boards. They
believe arbitration is as tickle as
chance. II there Is arbitration of this
eight-hour demand and every effort is
made to appoint neutrals entirely free
from prejudice, II Is but tossing pen
MES to decide the question. Why has
no one suggested that the matter be
settled by pulling straws' and relieve
everybody Of the bother?"
After the meeting no formal suite.
ment was issued, but 1t was reported
that definite decision in some di
rectIon might be made within "a hours
Judge Martin A. Knapp was asked
II there was any prospect of an i'm
mediate settlement. He replied:
II cannot tell. We may be able to
effect an understanding within TWEEN
ty-f0ur hours or forty-eight hours OF
It may take the remainder of the
week."
