MechaniesviIIs Strikers Confer With Agent Waterman-No Agreement Reached - Brakeman Jones Under $1,5oe Bends-Sediers' Monument Dedication Programme,


 A first indication of the probability of a speedy settlement of the Me ehanicsviIle strike became manifest Tuesday, when the committee ef con- ference of the striking operatives met representatives of the mill company for a discussion of @ plan ct setus- ment
 It is understood that Agent Water man was willing to cencede certain things, though not all that the strikers demand. The principal split is over the demand of the operatives that ne fines be imposed on the weavers Tor imperfectiens in cloth after the ma: terial has been perched and passed from the weaving department,
 Indications Tuesday night were that q series of conferences and strikers meetings looking toward a settlement of the differences are to come in rapid order. with the possibility of settle. ment being reached in few days at the outside, The mood of the strikers Is entirely peaceful and gives eVi" dence of their desire to reach an ad- iustment at the earliest possible date, They realize that there is nothing to be gained in UeIay 4-4s coliIvrences leading up to full consideration of their grievances.
 Aside from the conference, there was little doing with the strikers Tues day. The plant where they work Is tied up, the company making no visi- bio effort to fill their places with new operatives. Many of the men who are out spent the day in Putnam. To some of them there was ground for protest in stories that a sensational paper of Boston is printiag il regard t. tho strike stories exaggerated, as is usual with that paper, and of more harm than benefit to he strikers. The up- eIatives have trouble enough without having others indicted upon them through a yellow news agency, they say.
