RAILROAD HEAD
FOR ARBITRATION
Declares Belief Wilson Should Appoint
Board to Settle Crisis-Can Not
Grant Demands.

Portland. Ore, Aug. 14.-Samuel
Rea, president of the Pennsylvania
lines, who is here today, declared his
belief that the most practical way to
prevent the impending railroad strike
would be for President Wilson to ap-
point a board of arbitration. composed
of disinterested persons, who should
hear all the facts and then give de-
cision which should be made binding
by prearrangement of the railroads
and their employees.
Il am opposed to further attempts
at mediation between the interested
parties said Mr.. Rea. What is need
ed is arbitration by a board composed
of persons outside the controversy.
I'VE want to do everything possible
to avert the threatened. strike but it is
economically and practically impos-
sible to grant the demands of the men.
One thing is certain, the railroads will
not be coerced into making conces-
SiOnS."
