The FYderal board of mediation and conciliation expects to hold its first conference to day with the representatives of the four brotherhoods in an attempt to mediate the differences between them and the 22i systems of railway. managers over the demand for an ft-hour day and over time. The mediators held their the Tai' vay CAR SHORTAGE IS time and first conference with inanairers on yesterday. William L. Chambers, one of the '. mediators, said after the conference with the railway managers that the managers explained how far they ' would fro to avoid a strike. The re- ' suit of these conferences will remain a secret. There are three possible results of mediation. One is that the Federal Tm board will be able to get the two sides trouble to sign an .agreement, another is to more. get them to agree to mediation and the final hope is that the President may call them to the White House and succeed in getting them after all other methods have failed, to arbi trate their differences. The mediators announce that noth ing will be given out until there han been a success or a failure. It is un derstood that the later leaders place more hope in mediation than arbitra tion. They are opposed to arbitration. Status Remains Unchanged. , New York, Aug. 10. The United States Board of Mediation and Con ciliation had its first conference to day with representatives of the four railroad brotherhoods of employes in an effort to prevent a country-wide strike. Nothing official was disclosed as to the success of the meeting but it was learned on good authority that the brotherhoods had shown no disposi tion to modify their demands. f"The status is unchanged," was the only comment A. B. Garrettson, of the conductors' brotherhood, was willing to make after the conference. "We have only scratched the sur fa'.' said George W. W. Hanger, one of the mediators. "The situation may be cleared up in 24 hours, and then negotiations may continue a week," he said. The mediators have arranged for a second conference with the rail road managers this afternoon and will meet the brotherhood represen tatives again .tomorrow morning.

Today's meet ing was held in a downtown assem bly hall and was attended not only by the chiefs of the four brotherhood, the employes spokesmen, but by the 6Q0 .delegates of the union who are here. The conference lasted less than an hour. """ Hie brotherhood chiefs told the mediators, it was learned, that they were still firm for their demand? as originally presented. It is saii they men since June 1 tr a peaceful set tlement. Late tonight efforts of the federal mediators to bring th? contending factions together were well under way. Six hours after the rail.'oad managers had served notice on 'i.e mien that they would not with v their formal rejection of the workers' demands and had promised federal mediation, the mediators and the managers were closeted in secret session. Mediation was suggested in lieu of arbitration under the New lands act or by the Interstate Com merce commission proposal Which had been rejected by the brother hoods. What was discussed ft the confer ence could not be divulged by any of those attending it, under mtdiation rules, but it was understood that the railroad representatives outlined their position in full, and indicated how far tihey were willing to go in meeting the demands of the men. It was re ported tjhat the railroads stood stead fastly for the ma'n feature of their "contingent proposition," mad at the June conference, which conceded the shorter day but eliminated double compensation for different classes of services during the same work day. It was the failure of the represen tatives of the railroads, and the un ions to agree on the double compen sation clause that brought the June conference to a sudden end and re sulted in the strike vote. The railroad managers, in present ing their case to the mediators, were assisted by three experts on rates and wages, J. W. Higgins, former sec retary of the Association of Westefrn railroads; G. G. Wlalber, secretary of the bureau of information of the east ern railroads and St. Charles P. Ne'll, manager of the bureau of in formation of the southeastern rail ways.

Most of the meeting was devoted "by Mr. Garretson to detailed explana tions of the brotherhoods demands, upoit which it was made clear, it is understood, that - they would stand flrtn.' NOT BINDING BUT IS OFFERING HOPE. Men Are Not Obligated to the Arbi tration But Progress Towards a Settlement is Offered in the Devel opment of Yesterday. New York, Aug. 9. If the United States board of mediation and concil iation which was called in today fails to adjust tfie differences between the railroads of the country and their 400,000 employes, President Wilson be asked to use his personal in fluence to avert general strike. This rtatement was made today Try a rep tile mediators will hear the railroai employes' side of the case. Then the board will hold alternate conferences wth the opposing forces. Mr. Hanger said: When a basis for an under standing has been reached, the rail roads and men will be sefperately ask ed if they desire to place the'r cases in the hands of the board for final ad judgication. If the answer is in the affirmative, the contending forces will have to abide by the decision of the board. "It was pointed out by Mr. Hanger, however, that acceptance of the board's proffer of services is-not ob ligatory on either sideband if the brotherhoods refuse to aecvpt the good offices of the mediators in reach ing a settlement, then the situation will stand just as it , was before the mediators stepped in.' iA. B.
