 Trainmen.
International News Special

It is also be- lieved that the wage scale for 75,00C members of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainmen and Order of Railway Conductors on the same lines will be settled at the same time.
 This unexpected change came to- night after it became known that the general managers had increased their offer of an advance to ten per cent for all the employees involved This unexpected outcome came out after day suspense. This after noon Grand Chief Engineer Warren $. Stone could not see any chance of settlement. The conferences had been going on daily since Saturday morning. Sometimes two and three sessions would be held daily, but up to today not move had been made by either side to open the way for peace.
 At meeting of the engineers to- day with Commissioner of Labor C. P. Neill, the governments mediator the engineers made certain proposals that, if accepted by the general managers, would make new align ment of the proposition under con- sideration. Then the general mana gers altered to increase the wage offer to ten per cent.
 The engineers will meet Commia- sioner Neill tomorrow and give all answer to the offer.
 During the meeting with Dr Neill the entire question of what ii meant to call such strike as that contemplated by the engineers, was discussed. Grand Chief Stone said that the engineers were thoroughly aware Of the tremendous pOSSlblll- ties in such a struggle, but that the matter had been thoroughly con- sidered in all it's phases by the en- gineers before they had voted to strike.
 The conference between the con- ductors and trainmen and general managers have been going on for two weeks. The labor officials are meet with the engineers. The railroad officials offered the trainmen and conductors about nine per cent on Tuesday and today they increased fl to ten per cent.
