Hopes for Peace.
(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
San Francisco, Calf, Sept. g
julius Kruttschnitt, vice president of
the Hartman system, left for the east
at 8 O'Clock this morning over the
Santa Fe railroad. He had no fur
ther conference with the presidents Of
the respective unions of the COM
pany's shop employees before he left,
and SO far as the railroad is concern
Cd the situation is just as it was yes
terday at the close of a three hour
debate which ended in positive refu-
sal of Kruttschnitt to recognize the
Federation of shop Employees of the
Harrimanslines.
The labor leaders made no attempt
today to reopen the subject with the
company.
"The meeting yesterday was final,
SO far as we are concerned" said }.
w. Kline, president OF the Black
smiths Union and spokesman of the
labor leaders during yesterdays con-
ference.
Mr.. Kline intimated that call prob,
ably will be sent out at once for gen
eral conference of the executive com
mittees of the unions included in the
Federation.
| Apparently 1t is planned to hold
that meeting in this city. A joint
meeting of the craft unions in this city
will be held today, it is expected, and
/ the call from the general conference
| will be discussed.
For the employees, sentiment was
voiced by Secretary Kramer OF the
International Brotherhood of Black
smiths and Helpers.
/ He said: 1T can be truthfully
stated that negotiations are still pend
ing. Until peace efforts have ceased
see no reason for forecasting re
suits"
In addition to the 5000 shopmen in
volved on the Illinois Central, there
are 250OO affected on the Southern
Pacific and allied lines and the issues
have been made nearly if not quite al
acute on the Northwestern, the Rocl
Island and the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul.
Strike Not Imminent.
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 2.-Notwith
standing refusals by railroad official
/ to deal with any general federation o
shop employees, labor leaders in Chi
cago were inclined today to believ
that no strike was imminent.
Situation More Hopeful.
San Francisco, Calf, Sept, 2.-Tht
fact that opposing interests had resum
ed negotiations was carefully guarded
and neither side would disclose the ma
ture of the proceedings.
Not all of the men composing thu
committee were present at either con
ference and the meeting with Mr.. Gil
vim and that with Mr.. Kruttschnit
were held at different times. 1t wa
after Mr.. Kruttschnitt's departure tha
two or three of the labor leaders say
Mr.. Calvin.
| There seemed to be general feel
ing that the situation had cleared a Ii
tie. though neither side would disclos
the reason therefore.
Will Canvass Further.

the international presidents. the exc
cutive committees OF the various II
