LABOR SETTLEMENT
SEEMS NO CLOSER
Southern Railways and Employees
Are in an Apparent
Deadlock.

The controversy between the trainmen
and conductors and the managers Of
Southern railways. which has been refer
red to Judge Knapp, of the Commerce
Court. and Commissioner Neil of the
Department of Commerce and Labor. re-
mains far from settlement. In fact. 1t
was learned last night from an au-
thoritative source that the matters under
contention are practically deadlocked.
and that neither side to the controversy
seems willing to make any material con-
cessions, without which the arbitrators
ere practically helpless.
Neither the laboring men approached on
the subject nor the managers who were
in the city would talk for publication
about the matter, further than to say
that they had presented their side to
the arbitrators and the decision lay with
them. Both Judge Knapp and Com
missioner Neil said no decision had been
reached, and that further conference
would follow In the hope of finding
basis of settlement.
1t was evident as the delegation of
railroad men filed out of the conference
room yesterday afternoon that they were
cot in a hopeful frame OF mind.

HAMILTON STATES
CAPITALS ATTITUDE
President of Traction Company in
Statement Adds to History of
Utilities Merger.

The chief development in the merger
Of utilities question yesterday was an
authorized statement by President Ham,
ilton, of the Capital Traction Company,
that neither the directors nor officials OF
that company were affiliated with the
Maryland-Virginia Company. President
Hamilton desired to make II clear that
the Capital Traction Company's securi-
ties might be bought in the open market
until control of the system might pass
to new hands. but that the present direc-
tors and officers had not and would not
enter into any stock arrangement with
holding corporation whereby control and
management would pass from their
hands.
President Hamilton took the ground
that the company had built up its prop
erty to its present condition Of efficiency
and value, and that II proposed to go
forward. giving the Washington public
as good service as possible under the
circumstances and to work for the ex-
tension and betterment Of the property
as in the past They were not going out
after consolidation or any other means
of changing the control or management
of the properties, which was the ground,
in Mr.. Hamiltons mind. for making his
position perfectly clear in the premises.
Mr. Hamilton admitted that he had
been approached by one of the directors
of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. and they had talked over
possible basis of consolidation between
the two companies. He says he told this
director that the Capital Traction might
sell out at a fair price, but it would not
pool stock with the other company with
a view to unity of management and con-
troll. Mr.. Hamilton made 1t clear that
this was precisely the attitude of his
company toward the Observation-Disclosures
Railway Company.
Mr.. Hamilton also said he was not
opposed to the enactment Of a law estab-
fishing a public utilities commission
clothed with proper and suitable powers
to exercise supervision over public
service corporations in the District of
Columbia.

CONFERENCE ON PARKS.
Delegates Leave to Attend Meeting
at YeIIowstone Park.

Clement S. Ucker. chief clerk OF the
Interior Department, and Frank Bond
chief clerk of the General Land Office,
who has charge of the national monu-
ments under the Jurisdiction OF the De-
partment of the Interior. have left
Washington to attend the national park
conference, to be held at Yosemite Ma
tional Park beginning October a.
On September II and II, 1911. there was
held at Yellowstone National Park a
conference of national park superin-
tendents This conference served as a
medium for the exchange of ideas and
suggestions for the betterment of the
national parks, and has been productive
Of much improvement in their admins
tration.
This second conference will be along
the same general lines as the Yellow
stone conference OF last year, including
discussion OF roadbuilding, general ad-
ministration, and sanitation. and particu-
lar attention will be given to the ques-
ton of the admission of automobiles to
the parks from which they are now bar
red.

DIRECTORS TO MEET.
Fall Activities Of Commercial Body
Will Start Next
Wednesday.

The Chamber Of Commerce will begin
its fall activities during the coming week.
The October meeting of the board OF
directors will take place Wednesday
evening, and the chamber will meet on
Thursday evening At both meetings 1t
is expected reports Of interest will be
made by several committees.
Although the annual election Of officers
is three months away. the matter Is
coming forward for considerable discus
sion among the members. 1t is under
stood that Capt. James F. Oyster, presI-
dent OF the chamber for two successive
terms. does not desire to hold the office
longer, and that throws the election Of
a new president Of the chamber open for
a more or less spirited contest. d. ].
Callahan is one Of the vice presidents Of
the chamber, and possibly would not be
averse to stepping up to the head OF the
body. especially as he has been an active
participant in its work from the very
start. His name naturally looms large
in connection with the office, and he has
many friends in the chamber. In case
he should take the presidency OF the
chamber 1t would be necessary to fill the
vacancy caused by his promotion, and
undoubtedly an active canvass would be
made for the position by some of the
ambitious members Of the organization.
