The brotherhoods would then be required to delay any actual strike until the special board had reported. Only one such board has been cre- ated in the history of the present medi- ation organization, and successfully averted a strike on the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient. It is said that a num- ber of railroad controversies in the last two or three years have developed to a point of crisis similar to that pro- duced by the trainmen and conductors in the Western territory at present, but have nevertheless been adjudicated sat- | isfactorily without the appeal to the President The board is still continuing its ne- gotiations with the railroad officials and the leaders of the brotherhoods, out the appeal to the President is also under consideration. ‘There | managers are wondering already if sufficient space will be available for the visitors.
