The critical international situation
was the most important factor IN the
conference. Both sides used it as IN
argument. and it is expected that Il
the conference fails to achieve Its pur.

the same grounds to employees and
employers to settle their differences.
The 100000 railroad brotherhood

obliged to stay at work.
The railroad managers entered the

they would make no bargains until the
supreme court had ruled on the con

The brothefhoods insist that the pro-
visions Of the Adamson law he put u.
TO effect at once as Of Jan. l. They
demand ten hours pay for eight hours'
work, and pro rata pay for all over

The position Of the employees wnea
