and NJ. road. was very promptly and cordially
responded to. The Board called on Mr.. Mac
Kinnon this forenoon. and wore met by Presi-
dent Tuttle. General Manager MacKinnon and
General Superintendent Sanborn. Tho
conference was ono of the most cordial
and pleasant we have ever participated
in. and resulted in readily reaching under
standings under which all questions will be
readily and satisfactorily adjusted between tho
committee OF employees and the officials OF the
road. The matter is thus disposed Of and
all possibility OF any serious misunder-
standing removed. The disposition OF
the management. as announced by Presi-
dent futile. Is eminently fair. unusu-
ally broad. and highly indicative OF a deep in
terest in tho welfare of the employees. When
tho disposition displayed BY this management
in this matter is entertained there Is not room
for serious differences or open rupture"
The officials OF the road would mako no
| statement to the press.
