IAHNOClttNQ
NEW YORK, y. u, Aug. 9.-
Hope for q peaceful settlement OF
the railroad controversy, menae-
ing every trans-coltinental line
with a tiesup. came today when
the chiefs of the four great broth
erhoods Of railway employees
agreed 10 accept the good Offices
of the federal government in an
attempt 10 adjust the differences.
For weeks federal mediators
have been attempting to get the
controversy before federal board
for arbitration and until today
the brotherhoods refused to yield.
But with the situation at sharp
crisis. and with the employers
still declining TO yield to the de
mands for an eight.hour day and
time and q half for overtime, the
union leaders, instead of declar-
ing for an immediate strike, have
ttlrned To the federal government
10 provide a hoard before which
the discussion will be taken up.
The acceptance of the principle
of federal mediation by the rail
way brotherhoods is virtually GER
tain to avert q strike for the pres
ent, provided the railroads live up
to their announcements. They
have cone on record in advertise
ments and circulars as declaring
that they desire public inquiry and
arbitration. They made formal
proposal to the employees of set.
Element of the controversy pre-
ferably by submission to the Inter.
state Commerce Commission At
the joint conference in New York
last June the brotherhoods de-
clined to accept mediation by an
outside public board.
