Officials of‘Rainay«épnductors and Trainmen’s Brotherhoods Authorized to Delay It TO AWAIT OVERTURE OF e TODAY’S CONFERENCE Representatives of the Men to be Present With Railroad Re- pressntatives at White House Today—Belief That it may Result in Wlthdnwd of Managers’ Refusal to Arbitrate — No Furthér Overtures to be Made by Employes. ew York, July 13.—Whether or not a strike of 80,000 conductors and train- men on forty five eastern raflroads shail be declared within the next few days depends upon whether the rail- roads withdraw from their refusal to arbitrate the wage and other differ- ences between the companies and the men. Strike Vots Ratified. This declaration was made tonight in statements by the men’s representa- tives after the grievance committees from the various roads in conference had ratified the strike vote of the men recently taken and authorized A. B Garretson, president of the Brother- hood of Railway Conductors and W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of TRatiway Trainmen, to issue the formal strike order to their respective organi- zatijons. Strike Order Delayed. Peace prospects centered upon the attitude of the roads, the men declared, with the possibility that a way out of | the deadlock will be supplied by to- | morrow's conference in Washihgton where amendments to the Erdman law, under which previous disputes between the roads and their employes have been arbitrated, will be considered with a view to pressing their speedy pass- | | age upon ‘congress. The general com- mittee of the two organizations au- thorized President Garretson and | President Lee to delay the strike order | Jong enough to permit them to attend the Washington conference. Will Take Part in Conference. The men's representatives will take part in the conference in the hope that it will yesult in passage of the Erd- man law amendments increasing from thres to six, or more, the number of | arbitrators amthorized to act in dis- | putes between the railroads and their | employes. It has been made plain that |man act arbitration was that too much responsibility rested upon the third or neutral arbitrator. Statement of Union Officials. President Garretson and Lee, before their departure for Washington tonight issued a signed statement explaining the action of the committee today and thelr attitude with regard to the Wash- ington conference. “The committees of the various roads, acting independently of each other,” says the statement, ‘“unani- mously ratified the strike vote of the membership on their respective lines and empowered ‘the executive officers of the organizations to fix the date for retirement from the service should the attitude of the managers committee remain unchanged and after taking such action, returned to their homes. Delay Authorized. “With the purpose in view that no reasonable means for a friendly set- tlement should be pegotiated by u: they authorized sufficient delay in making the strike order effective to permit the undersigned to attend the conference arranged for tomorrow in ‘Washington with President Wilson called for the consideration of the amendments to the Erdman act as embodied in the Newlands bill, in the hope that if such amendments were made effective immediately it might induce the companies to abandon the position heretofore fnaintained by the conference committee of managers and lead to a withdrawal of their former refusal of our propesition to arbitrate under the provisions of the federal law. No Further Overtures by Men, Mr, Les announced that the railroads would be notified tomorrow of the aet- ion of the men's committee in ratifying the strike order, The labor leaders declared emphatically that ne further overtures weuld be made to the roads ibe reads’ chief objectiqn to the Erd- WILSON MEARS SERMON i ON THE STMPLE LIFE President’s Family Attends a Small Church at Cornish.
