Whether 100000 Railroad
Employees Will Accept
Arbitration
PROPOSITION TO BE
MADE CLEAR TO-DAY
1t Is Proposed to Increase
Membership OF Arbi-
tration Board

New York, Aug. l2.-The settlement OF
the differences between the managers OF
the railroads and their 100000 employees
is understood to depend upon whether the
representatives of the four brotherhoods
will consent to the new form of arbitra-
tion.
The brotherhood men who assembled
this morning for another conference with
the federal mediation board expected the
mediators to make a proposition involv-
ing this plan The method suggested is
to increase the membership of the board
OF arbitration defined by the Newlands
act.
Leaders of the brotherhoods have con.
sistently declared they would not consid
er arbitration under the Newlands act, as
it now stands. The railroads have reject
ed the mems demands and have stood out
firmly for arbitration, The men have
served notice that rather than arbitrate
they will strike. With both sides taking
such an unbending attitude there is no
solution to the problem except the new
arbitration plan, according to respon
sible authority,
The principal feature Of the new plan
is said TO be the formation of a board Of
arbitration that viii give each OF the four
brotherhoods representative on the
board, while the arbitrators of the rail
roads will be increased to an equal mum
Der, with four neutral arbtrators, max.
ing a total membership of II.

Neighbors in Berlin

tente allies but by the Barre Board OF

result was a mutual surrender of each to
the hospitality of the other. The occa-
sion was the third trip in the better ac-
quaintanee tours conducted by the local
Board of Trade, and nearly one hundred
people took advantage Of the opportunity
to get acquainted with the people of the
neighboring town on the hill. The run
was considerably shorter than the two
previous trips to Marshfeld and Chelsea,
and consequently the start was later
than usual. the cars not getting away
until after o'clock, The route chosen
was by way of River street in Mont
pelier, all the climbing being confined
to long pull just after leaving Mont
pelier.
On arrival in Berlin Corner, the Barre
people found the people waiting to re-
ceive them and the members of Mirror
Lake grange in particular prepared to

tured Stanislau, victory which indicates
that they are fast approaching Lemberg.

by recent defeats.

was officially announced by the war office
yesterday afternoon. The announcement
stated that the Russians captured Stanis-
lau on Thursday.

ca river and on the railway that runs all
