of_which 33.000,000 feet, was pri

value of timber destroyed was less
than $300,000. of which close to
$50,000 was privately owned. The.
loss of the year before was about
$450,000. Damage done to repro

Chicago, March 17. ? That a strike
of 30.000 men employed on the west
ern railroads hangs by a thread and
that the government mediators, Mar
tin A. Knapp and Charles p. Nell!,
are confronted by the most difficult
?problem ever presented In wage dis
putes was made evident today before
the conferences of representative)? of
the Brotherbu'-d of l^ocontotlvi- Fire
men and Engineermen of the general
association ami of the two federal
aegnu bo^an.'
"Our committee has small hope
that any settlement will result from
the efforts of the government med
iators." said President Carter, of the
firemen, "but we are willing to see."
"We cannot arbitrate with the
firemen the question of rules to gov
ern the, engineers." said O. L. Dicke
son, of the managers association.
"The engineers belong to a different
organization which has an agreement
with the railroads. Nevertheless we
believe that a satisfactory settlement*
will be reached."
The jurisdiction dispute develop
ing between the bremen and engi
neers as a result of the former's de
mands on the railroads has been the
stumbling block of the whole serins
of negotiations. The engineers are
said to have Indirectly promised to
'support the ^railroads lu the stand
they have taken.
- It was arranged that there should
i>e two conferences, the flrat between
the firemen and mediators and the
second between the managers and
federal agents to let the mediators
get the situation sized up Immediate

Fifteen cases, brought In lower
