ESTABLISHED 1 ‘RAILROADSREJECT MEN’S WAGE SCALE . Dispute Now Goes to U. S. Board of Me-| diation and Strike is| Averted for a Time > New York, Aug. 9—The national con- ference of railroad managers today again rejected the demands of the four railroad brother hoods for an eight hour day and time and a half for over- time and proposed submission of their differences with the men to the United States board of mediation and concili- ation. This proposal A. B. Garretson in behalf of the Brotherhoods rejected. Elisha Lee, chairman of the railroad conference, in proposing that their dif- ferences be mediated called attention to the fact that the brotherhoods had previously dedlined arbitration under the Newlands act, but that the railroads saw no other way out of their 'difficulties than through mediation. Mr. Garretson, reiterating the con- tention of the brotherhoods that in previous attempts to settle differences with the railroads through the federal boards, the brotherhoods had failed to obtain satisfactory awards, said that the unions believed they could reach a settlement by dealing directly with the roads. Wants No Third Party. “I believe,” he said, “settlement of our differences can be much better at- tained by dealing directly with you without the interference of a third party.” Chairman Lee then announced that he would, nevertheless, appeal to the federal board of mediation and con- ciliation. This board was at the time in session at a nearby hotel. Mr. Lee's announcement came after Mr. Garretson had expressed his will- ingness to have the railroads make the appeal. In that event, he said, the unions could make a reply as to their attitude to the federal board. This reply, Mr. Garretson indicated after adjournment of the meeting, would probably be favorable. Judge W. L. Chambers, chairman of the United States board of mediation and cnnciliation, announced after the meeting that the railroad had formal- ly appealed to the board to mediate their differences with the unions. The board immediately prepared a communication to the brotherhoods of- fering its services, which it was an- rounced would be dispatched to the brotherhood chiefs at once. Meantime it was stated the board would Temain in session to await the brotherhoods’ reply. It was indicated the board that the was being sent on that the brotherhoods their offer, Both sides, after adjournment, went into executive session. Mr. Garretson explained to news- paper men that the unions had not declined mediation unequivoeally but had refused to join with the railroads in asking for it because they did not belleve in it at this time. The broth- . _erhoods’ chief, together with his col- “league, Warren S. Stone, reiterated | that their position was that they had| not yet exhausted all the possibilities | by *dealing directly with the railroad managers. “However,” said Mr. Garretson, “our position is something like barkis, —‘we are walting and willing.”” Statement By Lee. Chairman Lee, in rejecting the brotherhoods’ demands and propas- ing medlation, made a statement in part as follows: “The national conference commit- tea of the railways has again given most careful consideration to the mat- ters in controversy between us and to all that has been said in our various conferences. We have also carefully considered the serious situation pre- sented by the result of the strike vote of emplayes and the grave responsi- bility which rests on both parties to the conference to exhaust every hon- orable means to avold the public in- jury which must inevitably result should you decide to exercise the power which the strike vate has placed in your hands. “After such consideration, it is our judgment that the proposals which the men have supported by their vote, involve such extraordinahry changes in operating methods and such radical revision in established bases of com- pensation as to make it apparent that there Is little probability of our being | sble to harmonize our differences of opinion unless this result can be brought about through the federal * board of mediation .and conciliation. | “The natfonal conference commit-; tee of the railways as sincerely | anxious as your committee can be ta | reach some amicable adjustment m’_{ | T c by members of communication the assumption would accept the matters involved in the present controversy, but we are convinced that in the end we shall have to in- voke the friendly offices of the federal board of mediation.” The railroad brotherhoods later ac- cepted a proffer of the United States board of mediation and conciliation to mediate their differencés with the railroads, Wilson in New York.

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. The strain of unaccustomed campaigning had told upon Charles E. Hughes when he reached here toda He was fatigued and his voice was hoarse. The throat specialist accompanying him urged him to save his voice for the Twin City meetings, and Mr. Hughes conse- quently refrained, except in one in- stance, from making back platform speeches at five scheduled stops in Minnesota before reaching this city. At Winona, Minn,, Mr. Hughes made a three minute talk with his wife standing beside him. He ex- pressed gratification at the interest of the crowd which had brought them so early to the station, and continued: “I have found this interest prevalent wherever I have gone, and to me it is a very hopeful sign. It means that we want in this country a revival of the true American spirit. It means that we look to the future and we want to safeguard all the interests of this countr™ by wise upbuilding and poli- cles.? Mr. Hughes declined today to com- ment on the telegram sent him yester- day.by Acting Secretary Sweet of the department of commerce denying charges made in the nominee’s Detroit speech with reference to the retire- ment of E. Dana Durand of the census bureau and ‘“‘an eminent scientist” of the coast and geodetic survey who, Mr, Hughes asserted, had been dis- placed by “an excellent stock breeder and veterinary surgeon.” Members of the nominee’s official party said he probably would reply to the telegram in a speech.

SHIPPING BILL T0 HURRY BY SENATE Ways Are Greased and Launching Will Be Formality REPUBLIGANS EXPECT DEFEAT Harding, Leader of Opposition, Week—All Be- liecves It Will Pass in Members Anxious for Adjournment of Congress. ‘Washington, Aug. 9.—The second attempt of the administration to create a government shipping board to undertake rehabilitation of the American merchant marine began in the senate today under conditions in marked contrast to those which characterized the hotly fought losing struggle in the last congress. With democrats united on the amended bill and no party revolt in prospect such as accomplished defeat for the bill before, interest in the issue was apathetic. Informal conferences cans and democrats early regarding the prospect of adjourn- ment of congress disclosed that re- publicans were anxious to dispose of the shipping bill and all other pend- ing legislation as rapidly as possible. | Senator Harding of Ohio, wWho will di< rect opposition to the shipping bill for the minority, thought the measure could be disposed of in less than a week. Senator Kern informed him that a sincere effort would be made to dispose of all pending business that congress might adjourn 1. Senator Harding hoped adjourn- ment might be as early as Aug. 26. Leaders of both sides, it was dis- closed, have been urged by campaign leaders to hasten adjournment. In urging the shipping bill Sena- tor Simmons outlined the great need of country for commercial prepared- ness hand in hand with military pre- paredne FORTY TRAPPED IN MINE After Workmen of republi- in the da so by Sept.
