piles OF the same grade shall be packed
in any one package. This would prevent
the packers from placing good fruit at
the top Of the package and inferior fruit

brought out that owing to dishonest
methods OF the fruit packers, the apple
trade with Germany, amounting 10 S22.-

ference. United States Labor Commission
er Neil. the government mediator and A.
B. Garretson and W. c. Lee. chiefs Of tho
dissatisfied trainmen's organizations Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. entered
upon what Is believed to be the last day
Of the meetings in an effort 10 arrange
settlement between the trainmens
unions and the officials Of the road over
the question Of working conditions. Fol
lowing the meeting with the labor lead
ers. DIT. Nefl will confer with the officials
OF the road. At the conclusion Of tho lat
ter session # is believed an announcement
viii be forthcoming Of some decisive ac-
tion. There Is no denying the fact that the
breach between the road and its emploses
has widened.
The bone Of contention between the men
and officials is believed to lie in the firm
stand taken by the men demanding the
aboHshment OF the double-headed freight
trains. II is believed by those who have
been watching the developments that The
officials have made certain concessions 10
tho demands for an increased wage scale.
In the question Of the double headed
freight trains. it is the outside impression
that the officials have been unwilling to
make concessions while the representa-
tives Of the men stick 10 their original de-
mands along this line. There can, IL r.
said be no compromise on this subject,
since the double headed freight trains
must either be abolished or run as at
present. The men maintain that the run
ming Of such trains is unfair to them, and
the break may come on this point.
