STRIKE CRBIS Both Sides Accept Offer of Na- ~ tional Board to Seek Com- promise Action Chicago, Aug. 27.—(P)—A threat- ened strike of 350,000 workers who operate the nation’s trains faded Fri- day as federal mediators tackled the Job of settling a wage dispute. The strike threat was precipitated when representatives of 86 major railroads rejected the demands of the “big five” railroad brotherhoods for 3 20 percent wage increase. An offer by the national mediation board to seek a compromise was ac- cepted by both sides Thursday, thus forestalling a strike in the immediate future, A nationwide walkout of conductors, engineers, switchmen, trainmen, and firemen was still a possibility al- though the agreement to accept fed- ral mediation precluded such action for 30 days or more. Should: the board fail to adjust the differences it was held likely the dis- pute would be placed before Presi- dent Roosevelt. Under the federal railway labor act he may appoint an arbitration commission which would have 30 days in which to render a decision. Neither party to the dis- pute would be permitted to act for 30 ‘days after the decision. Union representatives and a car- tiers committee discussed the wage demands for three weeks at confer- ences here. The negotiations broke down Wednesday when the commit- tee rejected the demands on the grounds the railroads could not stand the cost—estimated at $116,000,000 annually. Spokesmen for the broth- erhoods, who contended higher living costs made a pay hike imperative, then declared a strike was their only recourse. Edward Wanner, 19, Buried at Dickinson Dickinson, N.
