CHICAGO. Oct. 1L-After the adjournment Of the
street-car mems conference, at an early hour this
morning, Mayor Roche made the following state
with the West Side company called at
my ONCE this morning and asked
me shortly afterward TO the eject that the men
would like to see me. The result was that a COM
o mifsee Of ten , representing re- the West Division
stated 70 them that all could do would be TO con-
ciliate the opposing parties, but that was power
They said they did not care to meet
Yerkes. but told me Just what they could
DO. While 1t would not be fair at this
sitiOns were may say that they showed a dispo-
sition 10 YIELD In fact they did yield two or three
points With that as basis for further guidance
sent word to the attorney OF Mr. Yerkes, and told
him that would Ike to see Mr.. Yerkes. A room
at the Union League Club was secured, and there
hours. l urged him to make some concessions and
proposition, but could not get him TO do It. He
said he thought more OF the fact that he would
the money. He said that the West Side men would
nrss have TO show willingness 70 go back. He
told me that he did not contemplate any reduc-
far as to say that he would agree 10 make no re-
duction, but / could not get him TO make any pro-
position In regard TO the North Side men that would
come up 10 what he had said before. DO not
mean what he said at the former conference, for
he renewed that proposition OF 20, 2l and % cents
After the other conference went up TO his house
and he seemed disposed TO yield more at that time
Last night, however, he would not go beyond his
former offer for the North Side men. That is all
could get out OF him."
