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.

"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 ly without the bickering that might foHow a general conference In the preliminary stages. -OR Ttlfc wr JIXIN?
