TO RENEW PRESENT
WAGE SCALES WITH
TWO BROTHERHOODS
Continued Peace Seen as Re-
suit of Expected Agree
ment With Employees.

NEW YORK. Sept. 14-(By A
P)-Continued peace between the
railways and at least two OF the big
four brotherhoods which man their
trains. seemed in sure prospect to
night when It was announced that
the New York Central lines had
practically agreed to renew their
present arrangements with the
trainmen and conductors.
This announcement, coming from
W. G. Lee, president Of the Broth
erhood OF Railway trainmen, was
followed by the report that the
Pennsylvania, Erie, Lackawanna,
and other eastern trunk lines also
were ready 10 continue the wage
scales, working conditions and rules
under which the trainmen and con-
ductors are now employed.

system probably viii sign the re-

Lee cdIu- 10 only uuubLeL IuAueu
question tonight, he explained, was
whether the new agreement would
be for one year or two.
The agreements in prospect will
automatically remove from the
United States Labor Board the task
OF deciding upon the pay and work
ing conditions for trainmen- When
the brotherhoods and the eastern
carriers several months ago failed
TO reach agreements, the matter
was put before the board. but now
the trainmen and conductors seem
about 10 settle the matter them
selves with the separate roads.
Mr. Lee said tonight he did not
know what plans for settling the
wage question had been made by the
other two big brotherhoods, the en-
gineers. and the hremen and en-
ginemen.
He and Mr. Sheppard arrived here
this morning from Cleveland and
with a committee OF brotherhood
leaders on the various roads max
ing up the New York Central lines,
went into secret conference with A.
