The settlement Of all disputes be-
tween the Brotherhood of Firemen and
the western railroads was signed the
latter part of last week after a confer.
ence lasting all day and nearly al
night. The signing of the agreement
averts for the present all danger of g
general strike OF engineers, fremen and

being kept secret, but it is believed
that the companies have conceded to
the men the greater part Of their de-
mands.
