Two of the Grand Masters Sent for by
the Trainmen.
The Trainmen's Grievances Commits
was in session all day yesterday, but ncs
having received the company's answer To
its demands, submitted for official co sideia
ton on Saturday, the men have held but one
meeting with Messrs. Fillmore and Pratt.
From very dark but perfectly authentic
source comes the information that at this
conference, which was held on Wednesday,
violent dispute arose, which the good
judgment Of a few conservative members
found it impossible to keep within the four
walls Of the council chamber 1t leaked out
somehow-probably through the key-hole-
that there was terrific storm raging inSide.
When the men lett the room, however, and
were questioned concerning the outcome Of
the meeting they with one accord pro-
nOanced 1t harmonious, but barren of re-
sui" There was nothing to give this stale
n.ent the lie, excepting il few flushed faces,
several whispered consultations among the
men. the fact that they had decided TO teie-
graph Tor Grand Master Howard OF the Gun
ductors' order and ). L. Wilkinson of the
trainmen-aud a key-hole.
In speaking OF the proposed adjustment
both sides are using tie word "amicable" to
Il very suspicious extent. and trying 10
SEckeD over the angry mood i'll which they
ind themselves with boneyed phrases aud
pretended mutual admiration. Despitc
these professions there Is an undercurrenJ
which sayors strongly OF serious trouble.
The fact that the men refuse to ackuO wlelgs
having sent for Wilkinson and Howard is in
Itself very suspicious circumstance ard in
pursuance of a policy which always guides
railroad strikes. On the eve of the recent
trouble on the New York Central the Off
Gals of The road slept quietly after tsIe-
gram from one Of the "agtia.ors" that In
uieaiionS point to peaceable settlement
Alter quieting matters in this manner the

! order for the thousands of employees on the
New York Central to leave their trains.
