The first development of the day was a declaration by A. B. Garretson, brotherhoods, that the men were through with the prop- osition of arbitrating under the New- lands Act. Previous arbitrations un- der that law, he reiterated, had dem- onstrated that the neutral arbitrators held the balance of power. He de- clared that any special arbitration in- to which the men might agree to enter would have to make provision for an extension of those arbitrators to give the men what they consider a fair chance. The representatives of the were - expecting to return to York for further conferences with the manager tomorrow, and had re- engaged the hall they have been meeting for morning. Officially, Mr. Garretson said tod the brotherhoods haa knowled of Secretary Tumulty's flyin trip New York, nor of the message carried from the president. “The chief objection to the exist- ing form of arbitration on the part of the brotherhoods,” sald Garretson today, ‘“‘centers on the difficulty that has been experienced in selecting neu- tral arbitrators who could do justice to the cause of the men. In the past there have been neutral arbitrators of high standing and intelligence, such as John H. Finley of New York, and Seth Low, former mayor. No matter how honest their intentions they could not bring to bear on the ques- tions at issue the disinterestedness necessary. Finley's future relies en- tirely on the direction of corporate influences, while Low, although hon- est, was surely influenced by the fact that he is a large owner of stocks and bonds. “The appointments of neutral arbi- trators in the past under the pro- visions of the Newlands Act have damned arbitration as a practical proposition in the minds of the men.” Unorganized Men With Wilson. Representatives of unorganized rail- road employes, outside of the four big brotherhoods involved in the strike negotiations, called at the White House early this morning and left word for the president that they stood behind him in his efforts to avert a nation-wide railroad strike. P. K. Walden, representing the un- organized workmen on roads running out of Chicago, presented a petition signed by 16,000 men opposing a strike. Shortly after 2:30 o’clock the man- agers’ committee, at the conclusion of a half hour conference, went to the White House to meet the presi- dent. There were 19 managers in the party and all were silent over the de- velopments of the conference of the men and the president earliar in the day. speaking for tke men New where tomorro no to he ASPHALT PLANT READY.
