Tho demands nro so extraordinary that wo feel thero Is little probability of reaching a settle ment through the medium of confer ences We, therefore! belloo the only course to bo pursued Is to submit the whole question to tho Federal Media tion Board, nnd wo respectfully InUte you to join us In making such an appli cation. The leaders of tho men declined to ac cept this proposition at present, declaring their belief that more could bo accomplished "by conferences. In reply to tho proposition, A. B. Garret son, spokesman for the four brotherhoods, said that the men did not believe that Inter vention of a third party was necessary, and that they declined to Join In the request for mediation.

Mr. Lee, replying to Mr. Oarreston, Bald that If he (Garreston) and his associations declined to Join the railroads In application for mediation, he (Lee) and his colleagues would proceed at once to make such an application.

Mediation and Conciliation, by Mr. Lee, who refused to give out the text of the communication, saying it was just a formal document. Baby Scalded to Death SMYRNA, Del, Aug. 9.
