Much of Ground Recovered From Monday’'s Session Is Surrendered. TRADING IS APATHETIO New York, June 28.—Much of the ground recovered yesterday from Monday's weak market was surrendered today and instances more besides. -Trading w: thetic except for the first hour, w! semblance of activity and firmness was maintained. For the balance of the session the list sagged slowly to lower levels, prices yielding more from sheer inertia than ac- tual liquidation. Short covering effected rallies of 1 to 2 points in some of the more speculative leaders just before thoe close. The Mexi tuation was again overshadowing feature, prival ceived by banking intere early declaration of hostiliti velopments were encouraging” in their im- plications, but these were ignored in the apprehension created by the paramont lssue of the day. Mexican Petroleum was the only its especial class to be serfously recording an extreme loss of 4 making a shrinkage of 17 points in fortnight. American Smelter t only 2 and Greene Cananea Copper made an ac- tual advance of more than a point. Motor stocks, the prominent industrials und equipments, as well as munitions, with few exceptions, were 1 to 3 points lower on comparatively light offerings, but cop- pers and shipping issues were firm when not subject to pressure. \ United States bonds were unchanged o call, but sales of coupon and registered 4 were made at declines of 3% and %, re- spectively. ‘Number of sales and quotations on leading TN Sates.

The three days' receipts amount to 34,766 , being 11,000 larger than last Week, almost twice as heavy as two weeks o, and a gain of 8,000 head over the cor- responding period of last year. So far this week receipts have been larger tor any similar period in some time. Spring lambs, as usual, made up the big end of the offerings this morning, and with a continued easler trend to pri points, packers started out after another 26c_reduction in prices. The general market was in many respects a repetition of the two previous days. Sell- ers. made a determined attempt to hold values up, and in some instances succeeded in bettering first offers a little, but when the bulk of the range stuff sold it was on a mostly 156@26c lower basis. Some of the fair stuff was not quoted by salesmen as more than 10@15c lower, but there were not enough sales of this sort to be hardly worthy of mention, Aged sheep, were in comparatively light supply, and prices did not ses much if any change. The be old at $6.760 6.90, while a ¢ range yearlings touched $7.75, and a few range wethers sold around $7.00.

Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be scttlcc! by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of the controversy is as follows: > “Our conferences have demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion, and that eventually the matters in controversy must be passed upon by other and disinter- ested agencies. ways be disposed of by one or t! herefore, we propose that your proposals and the proposition of the rail- ¢ other of the following methods: . ’ 1. Preferably by submission to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the only tribnnal which, by reason of its accumulated information bearing on railway conditions and its con- trol of t revenue of the railways, is in a position to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests affected, and to provide additional revenue necessary to mect the added cost of operation in case your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises, that we jointly request necessary to enable the Commission to consider involved: or C‘c:lfren to take such action as may be promptly dispose of the questions 2. By arbitration jn accordance with the provisions of the Federal law” (The Newlands Act), Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. : The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: No other body with such an intimate knowledge of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned position in the public con- _ fidence. The rates the railroads may charge the E:blic for transportation are now' largely ed by this Government board. Out of every dollar received by the rail- roads from the public nearly one-half is paid directly to the employes as wages; and the monez; no ot public. to payincreased wages cancome from er source than the rates paid by the The Interstate Commerce Commission, with its control over rates, is in a osition to make a complete investigation and render such decision as"would protect theinterests of the railroad employes, the owners of the railroads, and the public. A Question For the Public to Decide , . The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid ana constituting only one-ffth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts. The single issue before the country is whether this controversy 1s to be settled by an impartial Government inquiry or by, industrial warfare. h National Conference Commiittee of the Railways ELISHA LEE, Chairmen 1 g STLE R ~ €.
