Labor Settlement on B. & O.
Regarded as Far-Reaching.
FEDERAL BOARD MEDIATOR
Differences Between Trainmen and
Railway Company Adjusted
Amicably.

BALTIMORE, March 12.-The amcable
settlement of the controversy between the
conductors and trainmen of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad and the officials of
that road relative to wages and service
conditions last night Is understood to be
OF far-reaching Importance. When Presi-
dent Willard called upon the federal
board of mediation, composed. under the
Erdman act, OF Chairman Knapp of the
interstate commerce commission and
Labor Commissioner Neill. to take up
the matter OF differences between the rail-
road and those OF its employees represent
ed in the Order Of Conductors and
brotherhood of Trainmen. it was after
the men had laid before him their de-
mands. and after these had been refused
recognition, and he had in behalf Of the
road presented a counter proposition and
this in turn had been rejected as alto
gether unsatisfactory by the men.
Widespread Controversy.
It was then recognized that the con-
troversy was one which could not be
bounded by the confines of the Balti-
more and Ohio system. number OF
roads had been approached by the organi-
cations named with propositions as to
wages and service conditions similar to
those laid before the Baltimore and ONO
and either they had been turned down or
their consideration was still under way
It has been tacitiy understood that
whatever was done by the Baltimore ana
Ohio would be taken as the basis OF set
These include practically all railroads
east OF the Mississippi river. The Ca
madam Pacific and the Grand Trunk en-
ployes have already been voted and have
declared in favor OF strike II those
roads do not recede from their position
The negotiations on the Baltimore and
Ohio Southwestern have been broken Off
The men of the Delaware and Hudson
are now being polled and negotiations are
on with the New York, New Haven and
Hartford. These negotiations would 1t is
said. be followed by similar ones on most.
IL not all. of the roads In the eastern Sec
ton of the country.
Terms Not Made Public.
The terms of the settlement effected
here by the good offices of Dr. Neill were
not disclosed. Both sides made material
concessions. The settlement does not
bring the men in the east to a par with
the railroad men of the west. but 1t rep
resents a substantial increase in their
earnings. and-what the men value very
highly-it seems to insure the Standard
zation Of wages.
BY mutual agreement the question of
doubleheader freight trains, the aboli-
ton of which the men asked. was laid
aside for settlement in conjunction with
other roads.
Presidents Garretson and Lee of the
two organizations representing the men
are busy today preparing a statement to
be sent out to the members Of their Or

gained in the fight just closed

DR.. Flexner Congratulated.

The child was exhibited to the physi-
clans and subjected to critical examina-
ton DIR. Flexner, who was present, was
congratulated. In discussing DIR. Fisch-
er's successful use of the serum. he sail
that while there were on record several
instances of the tapping of the ventricles
in the treatment of cerebro-spinal menin-
gifts. he was happy to announce that this
was the first case in which complete re-
covery followed.
The intraventricular operation" he
said can be made without the slightest
danger in the case of infants, as DR.
Fischer has shown. That the recovery
of this child was due to the serum in
jected into the ventricle cannot be doubt
ed. That it may prove efficacious in
other cases as we'll time, perhaps, will
demonstrate.
The new treatment was the subject of
favorable discussion by Drs. Charles Gill
more Kerley, Godfrey r. Pisek Alfred N
Strouse and others. DIR. Sara Welt-Ka-
kels spoke of the danger of infection
from contagious diseases by children at
the various dispensaries and urged that
action be taken To force examination of
children at dispensaries before they are
allowed to mingle with other while await
ing treatment.

back was arched and froth came from

which threatened its life were pro-

was desperate.

Improvement was gradual. but pro-

the end of seven weeks its condition was

the grip of the malady the infant could

power of observation was marked. The
appetite was all that could be desired,
and the functions of the body were emf

Secretary Dickinson's Views.

The prices heretofore paid by the
quartermaster's department for re-

was practically the only way in which
they were purchased until within the
last two years, and which still prevails To
some extent but Is being less used as
the remount system Is developed, where
by young animals are purchased direct
from owners and trained and conditioned
at remount stations before being issued
to troops. Contractors will bid low, and

statutes. The successful contractor viii

No, there will be no more coupons print
ed, but it happened Yesterday that the
crowd Of The Star guests was so very
large tnat the Midway. spacious though it
may be, simply could not accommodate
all who sought admission. Hundreds were
turned away because there would have
been no opportunity for them to enjoy
themselves even if they had passed
through the doors. And the desire of
the management of the Midway that no
one be disappointed led to the announce
ment this morning that the coupons

vilion any afternoon next week, with the

A. Norman IsserteH, manager of the
Midway, wrote a letter 10 The Star last
evening. in which he expressed great ap-
probation of the success which was ex-
perienced in getting out big crowd

the crush yesterday he said:
Owing to the immense crowd this aft
ernoon, we were unable to accommodate
all, and were compelled for a while to
close our doors. In order that those still
holding coupons may not be disappointed,
We will honor the coupons any afternoon
of next week, Saturday excepted. We are
sorry that we were unable to take care
OF all your coupons today, but the crowd
simply overwhelmed us.

results of the past week, l wish to thank
you for the cooperation and interest you

There is no doubt that The Stars party
was a success in every way, and thou

folks, too, are all the better and nap
