expected to be clncacious but seldom
This feature, however. hns proven the

obviously, cannot be made public. but nm
inkling, at least, Is permitted of the man

For example, tnko the case In Chicago,

willing to concedc little more than 1t

the questions IN dispute wcrc taken up
systematically. But tho conference bore
no fruit The negotiations fniled, after
two whole months had been consumed ip
discussions. Tho situation became moro
strained than before All tho Western
railroads had to face the fact that the
men had. by ballot. decided that they
would strike unless the roads madc reas-
onable concessions. Such au act would
mean that one hundred thousand men oil
over tho West would go out Mt mo-
ment's notice. tying mp all traf1c for an
Indefinite length OF time. The matter
seemed almost hopeless.
But not quite. Everything else having
been tried. the railroads asked for tho
services OF the governments professional
peoccmakers. Commissioners knapp and
Nelll responded Immediately. A meeting
w0s arranged for between tho hostile
leaders 10 Chicago. After a week of
the most strenuous work. they submitted
to both sides a form Of agreement TINT
was promptly accepted. But, even to
this day, the exact terms OF that agree
ment nre not known. No one knows
what each fnction conceded. But both
siues were evidently content, IL not eat-
lsoed. for the labor organisations ex-
pressed their pleasure that strike had
been avoided. aod several OF the rail-
road officials let Uncle Sans pcnccmnk-
ers know TINT the matter bad been well
disposed Of
After this the professional peacemukcrs
settled three cases satisfactorily by me-
dlntlon. They were ono on tho Rio
Grnnde ond two ON the Missouri.

Mako Hnste Slowly.
The pcaccmakers listened patiently nj
ways. Sometimes they argued away fall
lacious claims: sometimes they agreed
with fncts advanced But always they
preserved open and unbiased minds and
considered only the equities OF the cnse.
All day long. every day, and fnr into the
night. they were at work. Gradually,
tdt by bit, the points OF difference were
whitfield down and ooc point nearer
solution gained But always, absolutely
always, they preserved an lnvtolate So
crccy. never letting one aide know, by
word, implication or gesture, what the
other side had said or agreed to.

was beginning 10 stream In through the
windows OF the conference room. a basis
of agreement had been formulated. II
wos then presented to the trninmen's rep

just.
In nil the cases the two pcncem0kcrs
have handled the proceedings have been
much the same Many labor leaders and
been found by which industrial disputes
mny be settled without arbitration or
strikes. Needless to say. the personality
of the penccmakers themselves hns much
to do with the success OF their endenyors.
The mediation plan Is. apparently, the
common ground upon which both sides
may meet bonorably and freely.
The work of the medintors Is not so
much au obligation TO determine what
settlement ought TO be made or what
settlement they think ought to be made.
but to mud out what settlement can be
made. Every cmpioyc is entitled to what
be can get, aud every employer has the
right to secure the services OF bis em-
ployes as cheaply as he Gnu. Hence 1t
IL not a question Of what someone may
