difficulty may be bridged.

occasional Journeys with their father

demands OF the men. 1t is for the
purpose Of receiving the reports Of
these committees that the present
conference Is held.
Though the conference is being
held behind closed doors enough has
been learned from the participants
to give grounds for the hope that
an anicable settlement will be reach
ed with the railroads. Some of the
roads have anticipated the demands
OF the labor organizations by volun-
tarily increasing wages and others
have announced their intention of
following suit. While these increases
do not quite come up to the figures
asked by the employees. 1t is believed
that a compromise satisfactory to
both sides will be reached.
