NEW YORK, Dec. 28-The ma
tiona1 conference committee of rail-
road managers and representatives of
the four brotherhoods resumed here
Thursday their conference relative to
the application Of the Adamson law
in the event that it is held to be
constitutional by the United States
supreme court. Through an agree
ment between Attorney General
Gregory and the railway attorneys
the effectiveness OF the Adamson law
has been suspended pending the out
come of the test suit. Therefore on
January the employees will continue
their work without any immediate
benefits from the law which was to
have gone into operation on that day.
The railroads, 1t is understood, will
not withdraw the suit nor permit
anything to halt the decision of the
court. It was said also that the rail-
road managers would decline to en-
ter into an alliance with the unions
in return for their support in the eff
forts to defeat President Wilson'S
proposed compulsory investigation of
labor disputes. The railroads will
also decline, it was said, to cooper
ate In any plan to have the Adamson
law repealed.

NEW York, Dec. 28.-Resumption
OF conferences here Thursday between

over the Adamson act
The. conference had been in session
less than two hours when an adjourlI-
ment was taken and no announcement
was made by either side as to whether
future meetings would be held. The
brotherhood chiefs were obviously dis
turbed when the session ended. Neither
side would be quoted as to what had

Villa has altered his attitude toward
Americans and other foreigners
found in Mexico in the opinion Of
his friends here, who Thursday an
nounced they had appealed to him
not to kill any more foreigners. The
appeal was sent Villa during his oc-
cupaIon OF Chihuahua City. The
document, it was said, reached him
after a number of foreigners there
had been killed, but the fact that
no foreigners were molested after
Villas occupation of Torreon was
cited to show that Villa had needed
the appeal.
1t was said by Villa partisans here
that Torreon would be established as
Villas provisional headquarters. He
was said to have Increased his com
mand to 10000 troops and it was
predicted a campaign for the control

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Creation
OF a federal commission to decide
disputes between railroads and their
employees, regardless of whether the
United States supreme court may
hold the Adamson act constitutional,
was the suggestion which the chiefs
of the four railway brotherhoods in
dicated Thursday they might place
before the conference committee of
railroad managers. Representatives
of the two sides went into conference
here to discuss the Adamson law and
its effects
w. G. Lee, president of the Broth
erhood OF Railway Trainmen, discuss
ing the idea, said:
Il believe, and a number of the
railroad managers agree, that the ere
alton OF federal commission of eight
members, four representing the roads
and four the brotherhoods sitting as
a court Of official adjudication could
satisfactorily dispose of whatever
grievances might develop between
the roads and their employees.
The members Of such a commits
sion must be men who understand
their business, but before becoming
members they would be compelled to
sever all connections they previously
had with either side. Such COM
mission should have p1enary powers,
would hold hearings and after delib-
erations would announce its decis-
