Philadelphia. March IS. The fact
that representatives of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Co. and the official of
the central labor union and the Anal
gamated association of Street and
Electric railway employees was brought
together late yesterday afternoon for
a friendly talk" and to become ''bet-
ter acquainted" Is expected to lead to
some definite proposition upon which
negotiations can be opened looking to
a speedy settlement of the strike.
Yesterdays conference came so sud
denly that everybody was taken COM
pletely by surprise. That the opposing
sides got together for an exchange of
views is looked upon as a. sign that the
transit officials are willing to concede
a point, and discuss peace plans with
the strikers. The company had re-
peatedly announced to various commit
tees seeking a settlement that it would
not talk over details until the strikers
returned to work and opened negotia-
tons as employees of the company.

Under the present statehood bill neither the president or congress would be called on to give any reason for disapprov- ing our constitution. It Is not e ques- ton of whether the constitution con tains provision not in accordance with a republican form of govern ment. Of course that would be fa- tai. Under the statehood bill either the president or congress may dis approve the constitution for any req son or without giving any reason. If the delegates to the constitutional convention are wise they will go no further in the matter of placing new features or innovations in the con stituton than the instructions given by their constituents demand. To our mind the recall of judges should not be included and many able law yers. both democrats and republicans. believe that President Taft would seize upon that as paramount req
