TRYING TO AGREE.
Machinists and Southern Railway
officials in Conference.

A settlement of the-strike of the South
ern railway machinists within the next
twenty-four hours is said to be probable.
Committees representing the striking ma
chinists are in conference with the officials
of the Southern railway, and, while no in
formation is given out from the conference
room, it is known that the causes leading
up to the strike are being discussed and
an effort is being made to reach settle
ment
The committees from the various shops
Of the Southern arrived here last night and
early this morning. All the shops were
represented, and at noon the men were in
conference with President OConnell of the
International Machinists Association in
the headquarters of the association in the
McGill building on G street. The visiting
machinists shortly after l o'clock proceed
ed to the headquarters Of the Southern rail-
way 18th street and Pennsylvania avenue.
and engaged in conference with General
Manager Spencer and Mechanical Superin-
tendent Stewart of the Southern. The re-
suit of this conference will determine
whether the men will return to work or
whether the strike is to be continued. 1t
is understood that the machinists sub
mitted a proposition somewhat different
from their original demand, and it Is said
to be generally believed that the confer
ence will result in an agreement. Sixteen
or eighteen men represent the machinists
in the conference.
