to the prediction Of settlement arc
the firm stands taken this afternoon
by Mayor Dunno. when In conference
with President Shea and officials Of

striBe would certainly make it neces-
sarw for him to call for troops and the
ariyal of President Gompers of the
tmerican Federation Of Labor, who
cached the city this evening.
Although not in possession OF execu
tive power in the settlement of a
strike, President Gompers declared

was not far distant, Early tonight
President Gompers went into confer
ence with President Shea and local
officials Of the Teamsters' union.
The conference lasted until late
hour
The Employers association and ex-
press companies increased their scope
Of delivery still further today. Some.
thing over 1000 wagons were in use
and business fcr the most part was
transacted without hinderance of any
