With these employes, whoie efficient service is acknowle riRcd, the railroadi have no diflerences 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 o) the controversy it as follows: "Our confrrrntct hart demonstrated that we cannot harmonize our differences of opinion and that eventually tha matter ia controversy must be pitted upon hy other and disinterested aew-ies Therefore, we propose tliat your pruoeal and the propotition o) the railways be ilitiocd of by one or the other of the following methods: I.

Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June l l.S, 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 at the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: PI Mrs Bowser was aroing to spend the tiny out of town, Mr. li-iv-ser quietly decided to come Ivr.ne nt t" -n anj t.ickle the h iuse-rlc.-inlnic. which was sehetluUd to hi kai tl:e nxt monies, and finish It all up himself before .Mrs. ll-nvs.-r rot home that even ing. 8o at noon he was h"ine, anil after eatinK the iunih the cook prepared be sot Into aa old suit of ci the ' und wan siitung on his nanus ana looking riruunrj i tee m.u ns snouiu mc ! flrt, when there was a ring at the front iloor. tin: :ie o;er.;.l it to find a t. 11, semirvatiecUiMe man standing there with a erin on l.i.s fULO.
