Employees Accept The
Offer Of Mediation
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Last even
ing the railway employees signified
their willingness to acccept media
tion along the same lines as the
railway managers. The managers
point out that the demands involve
such extraordinary changes in the
methods of operation and .surn a ra
dical wage revision, that any agree (
ment except through mediators was
improbable. This position was placed
before the brotherhoods by Chair
man Lee of the Railway managers.
The mediators will hold seperate
conferences with the both sides in
order to seek concessions while aid
ing in a settlement, and to learn de
finitely the final attitude of both
parties to the mediation.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—The rail
way mediation board held its first
meeting this morning in secret. It
is reported that President Wilson
is contemplating calling a meeting
of the conference board and medi
ators at the White House.
President W. S. Carter of the
Brotherhood of Enginemen and
Firemen does not like arbitration
and said so in plain language to
the mediators today. “Arbitration
is just made a gamble. You may
get men who will look at your sidt
and you may not. We know all
about that, and dont like it.. Foi
my part I say Why not draw
straws and settle it that way, il
you want to concede away youi
rights. It is quicker.”

ROME, Aug. 9.—The fall o
of Goritz the original Italian ob
jective opens up the road to tin

the most serious blow that the Aus

to menace Pola, as the Istrian rail
road is supplied not through any
lines running through Goritz at all
but through a well laid system of
roads through Carniola and Croatia.
