ARBITRATION
WILL END STRIKE
But Boston Had Second Day
of Tie-Up of Car
Service
BOTH SIDES ACCEPT
MEDIATION IDEA
Extra Train Service Is
Handling the Congestion
Better

Boston, July lS.-Adiustment of the
controversy between employees and the
Boston Elevated Railway Co., which re-
suited yesterday in the complete tie-up
of the system, looked probable to-day,
although it was not believed ear sery-
ice could be resumed before tomorrow
even if settlement were effected.
The union officials and public trustees
of the railway having agreed that local
arbitration would be acceptable, Gov.
Coolidge conferred with representatives
of both sides for the purpose of assist
ing in selecting board OF arbitration,
James H. Vahey, counsel for the car
men, and w. H. Barnum, general counsel
for the railway, were accepted yesterday
as members Of this board and the gov
neror was expected to-day to name the
third member
With the exception of powerhouse men
and drawbridge tenders, the 5000 en-
ployes of the system remained out to-
day. They struck because the war labor
board, which received their demands for
an eight hour day and 1874 cents an
hour, had not announced an award after
three weeks consideration.
While traffic on all the company's
lines remained suspended, commuters,
many of whom were forced to walk to
work yesterday, found transportation fa-
cilities greatly improved to-day by in
creased steam train service and the es-
tablishment Of scores OF new bus" lines
about the city.
Nearly 100 extra trains between out
lying points and the central terminals
besides added coaches on the regular
trains of the Boston and Albany, Bos-
ton and Maine, and New York, New Ha
ven and Hartford railroads, eliminated
many Of the delays and inconveniences
suffered yesterday. 1t was estimated the
railroads handled double the amount of
their normal traffic,
Industrial plants and mercantile
houses, handicapped yesterday by tardy
or absent workers, were running under
nearly normal conditions to-day. Many
of them furnished transportation to and
from the railroad stations and suburban
centers for their employees.
The conference of the morning ended
without agreement on the third mem
ber OF the proposed arbitration board.
Until the third man is named, union
men say, no steps can be taken toward
calling off the strike The man 60 back
to work only by their own vote and it is
said they will not be called into mass
meeting until it is possible to submit
complete board for their decision.
Although the demands Of the union
are for wage of 1874 cents an hour,
union leaders said that 60 cents an hour
probably would be acceptable to the men
in view of the financial difficulties Of
the road
