In a Last Effort TO Prevent Tie Up Judge
Knapp Suggests That the Hour and Wage
Controversy be Submitted to Arbitration
But BrOtherhOOdS Announce Before Con.
ference That Plan is Not Satisfactory.
WILSON WANTS TO TALK TO MEN
BEFORE THEY ISSUE STRIKE ORDER

TO enforce their demand for an eight
hour day and time and half time for
overtime, went into session to con-
slider the suggestion.
From statements made a short time
before, the board had declared un-
equivocally that they never would
consent TO arbitration. Admitted
failure Of mediation, II was believed
in railroad brotherhood circles, de-
veloped the most ominous situation
since the trainmen first made their
demands on the roads.
This seriousness was emphasized by
the statement Of a prominent retired
railroad president that the roads
would face a strike rather than give
up their plan TO settle all differences
by arbitration.
1T is now a question Of whether the
big hrotherhoods will arbitrate,' said
one official, who Is acting with the

EATON SEES GRACE GEORGE TEACH
BROADWAY LESSON OF REPERTORY
The Actress-Manager Acquires Clientele, Trained
Company and Three Successes Including Poprl-
lar Mr. Shaw's major Barbara"
BY WALTER PRICHARD EATON

THE outstanding feature OF the au-
i tumn theatrical season in New York
is now pretty clearly seen to be Miss
Grace Georges experiment at the Play
house, on West 4Sth street This expert
ment consists of nothing more radical, to
me. than the establishment of n good res
ident company and the production in
repertoire Of first-class plays suited to the
company. AS Miss George herself is at
the head of the company, it stands to rea,
son that the emphasis must be placed
on comedy, preferably what we call
high comedy" to distinguish it from
Charlie Chaplin. But. though such an
experiment has about as little of radical
ism In II as you could well imagine,
nevertheless the wise ones of the Rialto
wagged their heads and predicted failure.
It has been a long, long time. as the
memories OF our butterflies go, since New
York has had anything like u stock COM
pany. (Actually, 1t is less than a decade
and a half, but that is almost butter
fy's whole lifetimeD Moreover they
said, people won't go to revivals, and
people won't stand for repertoire. How
