The trouble between Mauer and The

ana flTtmtn was put upon the SIounu
that the former lacked mechanical skill.

strictly frst-class mechanic. He was. il

Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers.

organization.
In connection with the subject under
discussion 50 may be stated th7t the feel
ing existing between the Chesapeake and
Ohio management and its employees is
of the most cordial character. and Il is
but seldom that any questions arise
which cannot be settled by arbitration.
Central Manager Stevens In an inter-
view yesterday. emphasized the friendly
feeling which exists and declared that
90 was not at all likely that any serious
disagreement would occur.
