P. Shea and associated, agreed to Sc
cure terms of some for the former en-
ployes of the railway express compa-
nies, all other matters in controversy
having apparently been settled. At the
solicitation of the union leaders the ex-

had agreed, however, to communicate
with the offices in New York as to
possible concessions, this phase of the
situation threatened today to prove
rock upon which possibly the peace
plans might be wrecked Anticipating
refusal by the New York officials of
the express companies to modify the
stand taken by Chicago representa-

Labor leaders might endeavor to cen

lifting the ban from all other con
Germs, but definite steps in that
direction were taken, however, pending
a reply from the higher officials of the
express companies
Opinions vary as to the number of

is ended, but the general belief is that
35 per cent is a conservative figure.

According to Attorney Levy Mayer,
of the Employers association, a union

by Attorney Mayer during a conference
Of the Employers executive committee.
Formal announcement that the strike is
off, he said, was expected in a short

Confirmation of Mr.. Mayors state
