 WAY FOR BUSINESS
Railroad Men and Employers Not Yet Prepared to Take Up Their
 Disputes.

New York, June 2.-Preliminaries still occupied the attention of the "ail- road managers and the representatives of their conductors, engineers, fire men and trainmen at today's meeting. For the first time in the history of their labor controversies the railroad leaders and their men are trying to settle disputes in public. Both sides have agreed that an open conference will give the public a chance to form it's own opinion of the merits of @he questions under consideration.
 Methods of procedure were discus sed today. Yesterday, the first day of the conference, was devoted to formal listing of the roads to be rec- ognized at the meeting as to both er1- ployes and managers. Elisha Lee, of the Pennsylvania railroad, is spokes- man for the managers, and A. B. Gar retson, grand chief of the Order of Conductors, acts in the same capacity for the men.
 Some of the conferees believe that they will not finish their work for two or three weeks. The employees delegates have no power to call strike. If possible they will arrange

 Close of Lecture Course. The course of six lectures by Rev. port, that has been given this week in the Kensington churches was concluded last evening in the Congre- gational church. Altogether it has | been a very fresh and vital presenta- l ton of some of the great facts that are fundamental to religious think | ing and living. It has been very l stimulating and thought provoking. Before beginning the subject Of the i evening, Losing the Sense of Im- mortality" Dr. Swain answered some | questions that had been asked about the Bible and about the reason for so much suffering in the world. He | said that the suffering in the animal l world may be far less than we imagine, that for the most part all living creatures live a joyous life, that | the terrOrs of death to the human person are due largely to imagina- ton and intelligence, which the l animals lack. Our human experience of sorrow and pain may be explained in connection with the training and l discipline that is desikned to form character for eternity.
 The lecture began with the ques- ton: why are so many people losing their assurance of imm ortal- ity?" He said that not many ser mons are now preached about heaven, except at Easter time. Once heaven was very constantly kept be- fore the minds of the people, also he'll But the old pictures of heaver have largely lost their meaning anc 10 longer appeal to great many people, Many are saying: we don't know very much about the future fife" Dr. Swain insists that we car know much about the future life, al.
