Agree

New York, July 26.-The eastern
railroads today withdrew their de-
mand that their grievances should be
considered by the federal board ap-
pointed to arbitrate the demand for
better wages and working conditions
made by the conductors and trainmen.
This concession apparently removed
tile only remaining obstacle to arbi-
tration and averted strike.
With this issue disposed of, the rail-
road managers and the labor leaders
expected to reach speedy agreement
upon the text of the questions to be
laid before the board Of arbitration.
In statement explaining their posi-
ton the managers said they made
this concession because they felt #
was their duty to protect the travel
ing public.

While Attorney General McReynolds
has not reached a definite conclusion,
it is understood his present disposi-

not attack the situation as a whole

James A. Fowler, assistant to the

is said, entertain the view of former
Attorney General Wickersham that
reference of the telephone problem to
the Interstate Commerce commission
would meet all the needs of the sit

Mother MADE EFFORT TO
SAVE DAUGHTERS LIFE
But FOiIGd in the Attempt
She Made

Atlanta, July 26-Although severely
burned, the heroic mother of Miss
Bessie Lyon, will recover from the
hurts she received while engaged in 4
hopeless effort to save her daughter
from the flames.
Miss Lyon, whose skirts caught fire
from an open CRATE, at her home on
Capital Avenue died in agony as the
result of the burns. When Miss
Lyons skirts burst into fame the
young lady lost all presence of min /
and ran screaming into the hallway
By the time she leayed down the stairs
the air famed the blaze and her body
was enveloped in a mass of flames
Mrs. Lyon, emerging from back room
saw her daughter bounding down the
stairs. She seized blanket and triel
to stifle the flames, only to have her
own clothing catch fire. s''
When passersby heard their screams
and entered the house, they we're roll
ing on the floor locked in each others
arms with the fire playing all around
them. They were torn apart, and the
life of the older woman saved, but
the younger was burned beyond hope
OF recovery.
