Prospects of Settlement Revived
by Conference of Officers
and Men Held Here
FIRST MEETING THIS MORNING
Nothing Definite Resulted From the
Morning Session, and Second Con-
ference Was Held This Afternoon
Richard Mcclure, Former EmpIoye,
Brings Conference About.

Tho possibilities OF a settlement of
ployes We're revived this morning when
General Superintendent d. c. Noonan
and the general committee, represent
ing all of the unions involved in the
strike, met in conference at the
Trades and Labor Assembly hall. That
this conference was at least not with
out some result Is evidenced by the
fact that Mr.. Noonan was in confer
ence with the committee again this
afternoon.
The conference began at II o'clock,
and 1t was close to 1 o'clock before it
broke up to meet again an hour later.
After coming from DIT Mr.. Noonan said
that there was absolutely nothing that
could be said for a certainty regarding
d settlement, and in fact none of the
issues in controversy had been
broached. He intilnated that the time
spent with the committee had been de-
voted to abstract issues which had
only an indirect bearing on the strike.
The purpose of the conference is to eff
feet a settlement, if possible, of the
strike.
Employe Arranges Conference.
1t was thru arrangements made by
Richard Mcclure, a former employee
who has more recently been working
for the Illinois Central in Waterloo,
that the conference was brought about.
Mr.. Noonan said that Mr.. Mcclure had
written him more than Il month ago,
expressing his regret at the length to
which the strike had gone, and the
failure to effect a settlement. Cores
pondence. the details of which are not
known passed between Mr.. Noonan
and Mr. Mcguire, with the result that
eventually Mr.. Mcclure wrote that it
transportation was sent to him he
would go to Minneapolis and see Mr..
Noonan. The transportation was sent,
and as a result of that visit arrange
merits We're made FOR the conference
which began here this morning.
