CONFERENCES At NIGHT
ON RAILROAD DEADLOCK
Federal Mediators Hope That
Agreement for Arbitration
Will Be Reached Today.

NEW YORK, July 26-A series Of
rapid-fire conferences between the federal
mediators and the railroad managers and
the conductors and trainmen that ended
early today brought the question of arbi-
tration between the railroads and the EN-
ployes to the verge of a settlement
The conferees got only few hours
sleep, and when they resumed work this
morning 1t was hoped that before the end
of the day both sides would agree upon
what matters shall be laid before the
board Of arbitration for final decision.
Called From Their Beds.
Some Of the railroad men got out of bed
last night to answer call from the
mediators. and although it was nearly
midnight when this meeting was over the
raj road managers were then called in
for a conference that lasted we'll into
the morning. The inference was that
these evidences of haste showed that the
mediate were trying to complete their
labors before the end of the week.
The principal question that remains, it
was said is the date upon which the
new wage scale demanded by the con-
ductors and trainmen shall become ef-
fective provided the increase is granted.
The employees wish the new scale to take
effect from May last. The railroads be-
,ieve that 1t should not become effective
until January 1, 1914.
