HEARING TO-DAY
ON RAIL WAGES
Onion Chiefs and Owners
To Start First Conference
Under New Law.
EXPECTED TO AGREE
Bipartisan Board May Set
tie Dispute Without Help
From Pubic.

Settlement of the railroad wsgs
controversy without calling in the
public as final arbiter is the hope of
the railroad executives and union
leaders. who will sit down in Wash
fngton today at the first bipartisan
wage conference under the new
transportation law. There Is every
indication that both sides win make
a genuine effort at satisfactory ad-
justment. Neither relishes the idea
Of lengthy negotiations. which will
result IL the Railway Labor Board,
to be set up under the law. is forced
to take charge Of the situation.
Conference Initial step.
The meeting today, called under
provisions OF the law which provide
for preliminary attempts to settle
labor disputes. will be attended by
the heads of the seventeen railroad
organization involved and q COM
mittee of ten, headed by c. L. Bartio,
of the New York, New Haven a.
Hartford Railway Company, repre-
senting the railroad owners.
1t is expected that the conferences
will determine upon a board of ad-
justmeut which viii take up the
wage controversy. The adjustment
board also is bipartisan. Its per-
sonnel is chosen by the railroad
owners and the labor organizations.
Labor Seeks Settlement.
Should the adjustment board fail.
the dispute will go to the railroad
labor board. which is a tri-partisan
organization, to be appointed by the
President. and composed of nine
members - three representing the
railroads. three the unions, and
three the public.
The railroad labor organizations
opposed labor sections of the new
transportation law on the ground
that representatives of the public
were unnecessary to the settlement
Of disputes. They now propose to
prove their point by reaching an
agreement with the railroads that
the public will feel bound to accept
abroad interests also have favor
ed the bipartisan arrangement
