IEE INDICATES COMPROMISE
OF RAILROAD WAGE DISCDTE
Pennsylvania Man Sees Adjustment
Basis and Men Approve
NEW YORK, Juno 7. A clash between
representatives of the railroads of the
United States and tho "Big Four" brother
hoods, In session here to discuss the new
schedules demanded by the railway em
ployes, camo near breaking up the confer
ence. It resulted over a discussion whether
the Western schedule adopted 18 months
ago should be used as a basis In making
up the new schedule, the brotherhood men
contending that It should.
After a discussion tho managers gave In
on the point raised, and the conference con
tinued. A compromise Is the railroad's view of the
way the differences between them and their
250,000 employes should be settled. This
was hinted at yesterday's session of the con
ference of railroad and union representa
tives, when, on tho completion of the presen
tation of the men's case, the railroads de
fined their position.
Speaking for tho railroads, Klisha Lee.
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, chairman of
tho conference, said: "Tho present sched
ules of pay and conditions are the lowest
possible rate: your proposition Is the high
level. Now between those two levels this
thins Is bound to be Bettled."
Asked what significance they attached to
Chairman Leo's utterances, Mr. Stone and
Mr. Qarretson, representing the employes,
declared that It was plain the railroads
were striving to effect a compromise. They
eatd that If a compromise offer is mada It
would be put to a vote of the employes.
In the event of tho offer being voted down,
Mr. Garretson explained, it will then be in
cumbent on the brotherhoods to vote on a
general strike.
The railroad managers authorized a
statement that In the event of a' general
strike they are prepared to cope with the
situation. They announced that If efforts
to move the United States malls and food
products fall they -will seek Government
aid.

Chester avonue, last night, a committco
was appointed to call upon Mayor Smith
for tho purpose of learning from him the

An ordinance of Councils providing for
this line was recalled from tho Mayor at

said, must bo changed. John McQnrvey
was appointed chairman of tho committee.
No date was set for tho call upon the

The University Hospital, through Its re
cently established' occupational clinic, has
found that, in munition plants, men en
gaged In the manufacture of shrapnel are
subject to unusual forms of skin diseases.
"Shrapnel" dlsense. according to Doctor
Stengel, takes tho form of a rash on tho
skin and of bolls and Irritations, but does
not Incapacitate tho person who contracts
it. it is not dimcult of treatment if taken
In hand nt the outset. By protecting tho
part affected temporary relief can bo ob
tained at once It does not have a tendency
tp spread nnd can easily be confined to tho
local part
Doctor Stengel says that It Is caused by
the continuous grinding of brass under oil,
and that tho disease Is not peculiar to tho
particular occupation of shrdpnel making,
but Its present prevalence Is no doubt
caused by the largo number of workmen
engaged In various parts of tho country In
tho manufacture of shrapnel shells. Ho it
also of tho opinion that no serious after
effocts nro to be anticipated if the disease
Is properly treated Protection of tho part
and cessation from work for a brief period
must bo tho most effective measures
employed.
In view of tho hundreds of thousands of
men now employed In the making of muni
tions for tho warring countries of Europe,
tho discovery gives grcntor force to the pur
pose of tho University clinic, which Dr.
Alfred Stengel said yesterday was to get
convincing knowledge for the use of tho
Legislature In making laws regarding In
dustries "Tlio moro Important reason,"
Dr. Stengel added, "Is to be nblo to give
manufacturers the true facts regarding tho
relation of their particular activities to tho
health of their employes, in order to cn
ablo thorn to avoid troublo and establish
preventive measures for safeguarding their
workmen, and thus add to tho economical
and efficient management of their plants."
Tho clinic Is open to ovory industry in tho
city. Its purposo Is to study every form
of employment and ascertain, If possible,
tho causes of the ailment of employes
England and Germany havo found such
clinics Invaluablo Safeguards ngalnst lead
and phosphorous poisoning of employes
have been definitely demonstrated.
