Washington” June iB, “With
a view to averting the threaten
ed strike of 90,000 railway em
ployes east of Chicago, the sen
ate today rushed through the
passage of amendments to the
Erdman Mediation act sought
by the railways and railway em
ployes as affording suitable ma
chinery for settlement of their
pending aisagreements.
Action came only after deter
mined fighting for unanimous
consent to consider the measure
by both the Democratic and Re
publican members of the inter
state commerce committee led by
Senitor Newlands.
The amendment enlarges the
board of arbitration provided
under the Erdman act from
three to six. The railways have
declined to submit the present
disputes to a board composed of
only three members. It also
provides for appointment by the
President of an official mediator,
independent of all goverment
bureaus, at a salary of $7,500.
