committee in Trades Council hall from
10 o'clock yesterday morning until S

not be learned because both Mr.. Ham

was nothing to be said at this time
other than the prospects Of an arlic-
able settlement looked bright.

so and that on the contrary the officials
of the railroad have been exceedinglY
courteous Iii all their dealings win
them.

road stated yesterday afternoon that
Messrs. Hannahan and Shea were to be
scomplimented on the efficient manner
