d
eight-hour truce between the four
railroad brotherhoods and the rail-
roads had been declared here late
Saturday, thus averting the great
progressive strike that was to have
begun at o'clock Saturday night, w.
G. Lee, chief of the trainmen and
spokesman for the brotherhood chiefs,
asserted that he believed an amicable
settlement Of all the differences would
be reached by Monday.
New York, March 19-The confer
ence committee of railroad managers
early this morning authorized Presi-
dent Wilson's mediators to make
whatever arrangements were neces-
sary with the railroad brotherhoods
to call off the threatened strike. The
formal letter in which this authorize
ton was made was signed by Elisha
Lee, chairman of the managers, COM
mittee, and was as follows: "In the
national crisis precipitated by events
of which we heard this afternoon, the
national conference committee of rail
roads join with you in the conviction
that neither at home nor abroad
should there be fear or hope that the
efficient operation of the railroads of
the country will be hampered or i'm
paired. Therefore you are authorized
to assure the nation there will be no
strike, and as basis for such assur-
ance we hereby authorize the commit
tee of the Council of National De-
fense to grant to the employees who
are about to strike whatever adjust
ment your committee deems neces-
sary to guarantee uninterrupted and
efficient operations of the railroads
as an Indispensable arm OF national
defense"
The decision reached by the man
ayers at their midnight conference
means that the brotherhoods have
won an important victory, although it
does not bring them all their original
demands. By the agreement, it is as
sumed they will be awarded pro-rata
time for overtime on the basic eight
hour day, which. they have been as
sured.
Their original demands called for
time and half for overtime on the
same basic day.
Secretary Lane issued this state
ment: Regardless of the decision of
the Supreme Court on the Adamson
law, the basic eight-hour day will go
into effect"
Immediately after Secretary Lane
had made his announcement, the
brotherhood members sent kilograms
to all the general chairmen informing
them that the strike had been de-
clared off.
