company the bill, but there would be a
statement when the bill was called up.

OMAHA, March 20-The conference be-

selves. Meantime Clark summoned the
trainmen to present their case. If the
engineers fail to reach an agreement they
will await the coming of Judge Caldwell.
The telegraphers continue their confer
ence with Superintendent Korty, but had
reached no agreement at the noon recess.
Developments this evening put much
more favorable aspect on the wage confer
ence. 1t now seems that compromise may
be reached. The engineers were in secret
consultation all the afternoon and at 8
o. CLOCK had decided that they would sub
E1it compromise schedule 10 Mr. Clark.
The chairman said it would take all night
10 prepare The schedule.
The tranmen have also decided to pre-
pare compromise schedule and will have
il ready Tor submission as soon as the en-
gineers and firemen are out OF the way.
This change is the result of suggestion
made to The men by S. ii. II. Clark, who
said that an agreement was hopeless, and
that he did not relish the idea of the con-
ference ending in failure. The train
men were conceded their demands in the
matter OF overtime this afternoon and will
hereafter run on a schedule of ten miles an
hour. They could not agree TO the courts
report in the matter of extra mileage on
mountain divisions, and this is left open.
The telegraphers have been busy all day
with Mr.. Korty on the wage schedule,
taking up the stations one by one. They
are making good progress In this way.
