Railroads Agreed to Grant
Demands From Patriotic Motives
Hailed AS LabOrs
Greatest Victory
(By Associated Press.)

New York, March 19.-The railroad
strike has been averted. Yielding to
the appeal Of President Wilson and
facing the probability of this country's
entrance into the world war, the rail-
roads early today granted the demand
of the four employees brotherhoods
for a basic eight-hour day. Telegra ph
wires this morning carried through
out the United States messages from
the brotherhood chiefs resembling the
orders for the inauguration OF the
great progressive strike at Z o'clock
tonight.
The decision is regarded as a COM
plete surrender to the brotherhoods,
brought about, however, after the
had been put to the test. The presi-
dents mediators playing what they
considered their last trump card were
not successful in their mission until
after more than 80 hours of anxious
conferences all Of which pointed with
in a short time before the decision
was announced to an inevitable dead
lock.
Secretary of the interior Lane
and the other mediators were Vis-
IDLY affected when told Of the ac-
tion of the railroad managers. Mr..
Lane sent Immediately for the
committee of the railroads, and
turning to Elisha Lee, their
spokesman, said:
"This is a magnificent thing that
you have done for your country.
Il will 90 down In history as one of
the greatest things you ever did,"
w. G. Lee, head Of the trainmen,
announced that orders would go for
ward at once informing all district
chairmen Of the brotherhoods Of the
successful. outcome of the conferences.
BY the terms Of the settlement the
combined salary list of the railroads
will be increased $60,00O,OO0 a year.
according to conservative estimates.
The number of workmen proflting by
this increase will be more than Soo'-
900.
That the crisis resulting from the
sinking Of three American ships by
German submarines was the prime
factor in clearing the situation and
restoring the country to normal con-
ditions insofar as its transportation
facilities were concerned was con-
ceded by all. The presidents mediators
had made no secret Of the fact that
mism. It was evident that the strike
undoubtedly would become effective
unless something more intervened
than the more suggestion that the sew
erance of diplomatic relations with
Germany might lead to open hostili-
ties.
The presidents mediators again
communicated with the railroad man
ayers, however, with the result that
they are said to have voted unanim-
ously to yield to the demands Of the
brotherhoods in order that neither at
home nor abroad should there be fear
