Southern RAILWAYS.

The outcome of the mediation negotia-
tions in the controversy between prac-
tically all of the railroads in the terri
tory south of the Potomac and east Of
the Mississippi and their conductors and
trainmen seems problematical. 1t is un-
derstood that the situation has reached a
critical stage and that there is no as
surance of a peaceful settlement.
Chairman Knapp of the interstate COM
merce commission and DIR. Charles P.
Neill, commissioner of labor. the media
tors under the Erdman act, have been
endeavoring to settle the dispute for the
past ten days. The matter is a stubborn
one, but the fact that negotiations are
still continuing seems to indicate that
the mediators are hopeful Asked yes
terday however, If they expected peace
full settlement they declined to express
any opinion whatever.
The demands Of the men are for large
increases in wages and numerous changes
in working conditions.
