Before the conference began r \talked things over\ again with »mnmissioner W. L,. Chambers, of the deral Board of Conciliation - and ediation. The latter has led in all ; the efforts to bring about a recon- lation of the differences between e railroads and Big Four unions and day he professed still to be supreme confident that the threatened gen- al strike yet will be averted. The representatives of the railway anagers were in conference in their stels until after three o'clock this oming talking over the suggestions - fat were made to them by the Presi- jut. It is understood that there was wide difference of opinion among ' fe representatives of the roads as to e means that should be followed. number of the managers took the sition that the President's action amanding that they make further opromise to prevent a strike had aced them in a false light before the kinky. After a lengthy discussion, ywever, a plan of procedure was ar ged which was to be placed before le President when he received them By agreement al; details re irding the plan were withheld out | respect to the President. , Meanwhile the representatives of 'e brotherhoods quietly waited - at eir hotels in the other end of the ty for word from the White House. he majority of the unfon represen- tives admitted that they expected way out would be found but declin- I to discuss what the president was ring. The concensus of opinion is that me general plan of arbitration will » the mutual solution. This will take e form, unless one side or the other cks over the traces at the last mo ent, of either a board completely. »pointed by the President, or one hich he will name the neutral mem- ars. It was hoped that the President ould be able to influence the rail ay managers to withdraw their 'de ands that in any arbitration that is ;reed on the entire question of over me and pay generally be considered > 1 direct questions. That up to the + resent has been the great stumbling i' ock the brotherhood men insisting rat only the eight hour question and 16 wage advance were in dispute as he other questions already had been fnceded by the roads during the last ; 51m years. ii {The President is admittedly espe {lally worried by reports that practic ly all of the big railroads are agreed lat if the strike finally materializes, fey will make no effort to enforce 'peration of trains by employing rikebreakers. It was estimated at 'de offices of the board of mediation conciliation that about ten wer 'but. of the railroads would lose their 'harter by failure to make any ef orts to run trains. At the same time i -- cll 'pived on reliable authority that the ' hilroads stil insist that they have het all demands for wage increases pat they could without increased Ates. \Twenty-four hours of such a strike fould cause more suffering than an rvading army.\ said Judge W. L hambers head of the Mediation loard, in commenting on the situa fon. \I recall a twenty-four hour rike on one comparatively small road. Half a dozen important hos itals were without milk, and great juffering resulted before that short <p shoulder the awful responsibility £ bringing about such a state of af ars.\ \In President Cleveland's adminis- ration there was a serious strike . ehich threatened to tie up the mails,\ ~ faid Judge Chambers. \On that occas don the President said that if neces .clary he would use the entire United States army to take one post card ~.
