New York, April 80.—The threatened strike of engineers of the fifty rail- roads east of Chicago was averted to- night by the signing of an arbitra- tion agreement between the two com- mittees representing the railreads and the engineers.

Brought About by Federal Officials. sottlement was brought about by the efforts of Charles P. Neill, U. S. commissioner of labor, and Judge Martin A. Knapp of the Unlted States court. They first offered | their services as mediators on April n the differences between the rail- roads and their engineers over the question of wages. An increase of from 15 to 1 Sper cent. was asked by the men. officials failing to bring the parties to the dispute to- gether for a settlement on definite terms, took up the alternative of ar- bitration. Result of Comprom Their efforts in this direction proved successful tonight after lengthy con- ferences with both sides during the day | and evening. The form which the ar- | bitration takes represents a compro- mise. The railroad officials originally asked for an arbitral board of thir- | teen, while the engineers insisted upon | three or at the most rot more than The railroads then proposed a rd of seven members, of whom one was to be selecd by each side, these | two to choose the other five.

McCormick, president of the Harvester company, and all of the rest of the 18 individuals and seven corporations who are named in the petition are return- able May 6. The defendants must enter thelr ap- pearance in court by June 3, but it probably will be July 1 before they will be required to answer the govern- | ment’s petition.
