the result Of a two-hour conference
at the White House between President
Wilson and congressional leaders, both
Republicans and Democrats, the presi.
dents and managers Of the railroads
and representatives Of the brother
hoods of trainmen and conductors
The agreement not only averts, tenn

threatened to tie up railroad traffic
generally in the East, but smooths
out differences of opinion that had
arisen in both houses as to the com.

Way Clear for Action.
The pathway was cleared for prompt
action In both houses, Senator Kern
telephoning from the White House to
have the senate adjourn for one day
instead of two as contemplated, and
Representative Clayton announcing
that he would move to take from the
speakers table his bill to which
amendments in conformity with the
Newlands bill in the senate would be
attached. The president later an.

arisen in the attempt to provide

The bill introduced in the house by
Representative Clayton, chairman OF

was identical with that introduced in
the senate by Senator Newlands. but
had been amended at the instance
of Secretary Wilson of the department
of labor, who wished the arbitration
board to consist of nine members who
were to be under the jurisdiction Of
his department. At the conference,
however, Secretary Wilson. while still
expressing. his preference for the
amended Clayton bill, announced that
he would not insist on it, and an agree

checks and gave out parcels more swift

manager never sent for her to come back.
She tried candymaking and always put
vanilla where peppermint was wanted
and vice versa. And her candy looked as
mixed as 1t tasted. She saved. by greas
economy. enough to take night course
in business college. Della had been
reared on a farm and all her education

When he learned that August Herr.

pronounced the fraternitys demands

the commission could not deal with Fultz
because the latter happened to be an
outsider Fultz said:
Il cannot believe that Mr.. Hermann

ground for personal prejudice l know

that the cottage was to be torn down and

bought a similar cottage across the
street.

She wanted to laugh and she wanted to

the city had to offer and. in spite of her
abnormal gift for economy and an appe-

nothing, she felt a thrill of dismay at
again beginning the search for work. Mr..
Napton said no more, but picked up the

seemed very worried. His tone was pre-
occupied and even harassed. But, / tell
