Butlj roads Are Anxious
For a Settlement.
Prospects Of a Strike Is Con.
sidered Very Doubtful.
Conferences Now in Order, Which
Will Take Several Weeks.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 21-Plans for nego-
tiating with the railroad systems of the
eastern part Of the United States and
Canada for a wage increase and uni
form working conditions We're formu-
lated at the headquarters of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen here to-
day. President w. G.. Lee Of the train
men said that substantially all OF the
railroads had been heard from either
formally or informally with renpect to
the proposition submitted by the train
men and Order of Railroad Conductors.
Late answers received today did not
change the complexion of the general
situation. None granted any of the
terms proposed by the employees but
each has expressed a willingness to he
gotiate a settlement. Prospects of a
strike are considered meagra. 1t is eX-
pected by Mr.. Lee that the negotiations
viii last several weeks Points seriously
disputed will be taken up by all of the
committees in general meeting. If the
important points are refused by the
railroad companies, then there will be
talk of n strike. Each road will then
be dealt with individually by a COM
mittee of its employees.

A SCHOOL FOR GOVERNORS.
State Executive So Consider the Gov
ernors' Conferences.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The majority
of the state heads consider the gov
errors conference as school for
governors rather than as a body to
recommend legislation or to take def
mite action on any of the subjects dis
cCssed This fact was made plain at
the concluding session of the confer
erce late yesterday, when 1t was de-
cided that all resolutions calling for a
formal EXPRESSION of opinion by the
governors should he left in allegiance.
Several governors thought the body
should take a definite stand on great
public questions
Further, the governors showed that
it was their purpose to deal with state
problems and to leave to the federal
government questions which concerned
the nation as a whole. This decision
was evidenced when a committee APP
pointed to consider resolution intro
dpced by Governor Eberhardt OF Min
nasota, relative to recommendations to
Congress concerning jurisdiction of
federal and state courts. reported that
such Jurisdiction belonged to the Pres
ident OF the United States and did not
come within the scope of the confer
ence.

Another Report.

Montreal, Jan. 21.-The following
statement in regard to the wreck on
the 500 branch was given out by the
Canadian Pacific tonight:
THE last half of the train from
Montreal to Minneapolis left the track
Friday afternoon near Algoma. The
cause is reported to be a broken rail.
One coach went into the Spanish river
and several passengers are reported to
be in it. The dining car was partly
submerged, but the passengers escaped.
The sleeping car turned over on its
side. There are about 10 injured pas
sengers, two somewhat seriously. They
We're taken to Sudbury hospital. Spe-
cial trains have been sent to the scene
of the accident.

THE NEGOTIATIONS
Between Railroads and Employees Will
Begin Monday in the East.

Cleveland, Jan. 21.-President Lee of the
brotherhood of Railway Trainmen ana
Grand Chief A. B. Garretson of the. Order
of Railroad Conductors will meet in the
East Monday to enter formally upon the
negotiations which will determine the out
come of the present dispute between the
railroads and their employees President
Lee announced tonight before leaving for
Chicago that he has already picked out
one railroad on which test of the train
mems demands will be made. Neither he
nor Grand Chief Garretson, however, have
intimated to the employees committee
which road this is.
Owing to the fact that the replies re-
ceived are practically uniform the two
brotherhood leaders believe that a set
tlement on the one road will lead to a
similar adjustment on all the others.
1t is known to the employees committee
that the railroads are prepared to grant
an advance of wages. Whether the men
will receive the $2.52 on the basis of a 10
hour day, 1OO-mle run, is less certain. The
real dispute, it is conceded, will be over
the question of payment to train crews
for the work done before the days run is
started.

A FIRM REFUSAL
BY Erie Road to Grant Demands
Conferences Now in Order.

New York, Jan. 21.-The Erie Railroad
this afternoon formally rejected the de-
mands of their trainmen and conductors
for increased wages. The rejection fol-
lowed friendly conference of the road
officials and a committee of employees.
Forty-one railroads, mostly subsidiary
roads of the big trunk lines east Of the
Mississippi, have yet to act on the de-
mands of their men, but by an understood
arrangement they will reject them. Con-
ferences will follow the reflections.
General discussion of the wage demands
made by the trainmen and conductors of
the railroads east of the Mississippi will
now follow the tentative refusals which
have been made to the demands by sew
eral of the Eastern railroads. 1t was
generally understood by the employees
| and railroads that further conferences
| should follow the refusals. These confer
| ences will last several weeks and in the
| determination of the wage scale the ques-
ton of advanced cost of living will be
| thoroughly inquired into.

The sleeper and second class cars
stopped on the embankment and the
second class car caught fire.
The wreck occurred about 81 miles
west of Sudbury where the tracks cut
into the side of a steep hill which is
skirted by the river The forward part
of the train passed over the break,
whatever it was, in safety.
The day coach, which was the fourth
from the end of the train, was the
first to leave the rails. The train was
running about 40 miles an hour and
the momentum carried the car Gown

About % passengers were in this car
and it is practically certain that none
escaped
Two minutes after the first crash on
ly the roof of the day coach showed
above the flowing ice in the river. The
second class car, the next in the train,
was smashed against the end of Gull

crushed like an egg shell. Some of the

err at the time and they escaped with
slight injuries.
Every man which was able to stand
at once turned to the work of rescue.
Snow was piled upon the burning sec
ond class car and the train crew and
unnjured passengers did heroic work
in trying to rescue those pinned in the
burning wreckage. Physicians were
hurried to the scene from Sudbury as
soon as word was received and

Arrangements were made to bring a
