As the sharp curve here was rounded the engine ran into the milk train from Willimantic to ProNnence which was just making the station stop. Both engines were smashed. Passengers in

''Nothing there about bomb- throwing, is there, MT. Ford ?"
 ''No, but the headline"
 But you said a headline shows what is in the body of the article, MT. Ford.'
 This precipitated an argument in the course of which Alfred C.. Murphy, attorney for the plaintiff contended it was the contention of MT. Ford that the headline was libel ous standing by itself for the very reason that the text of the article re- lla.tedsanot tlain g ana rehistic of him.
 Tt seems to me, your honor," said MT. Stevenson, that we have a right to know what the plaintiff himself thinks-just how he thinks he has been injured"
 II hardly ever read anything but the headlines" put in MT. Ford.

Union Leaders May Accept 50
 Cents Per Hour TRAFFIC IS CONGESTED
Union Officials and Public Trustees of Railway Agree on Local Arbitra- TOW If Settlement Is Made.

Boston, July 1S.-Adjustm ent of the controversy between union em- ployes and the Boston Elevated Railway company which resulted yes- terday in the complete tie-up of the system looked probable today, al- though it was not believed car service could be resumed before tomorrow, even if a settlement was effected.
 Agree to Arbitrate.
 The union officials and public trustees of the railway having agreed that local arbitration would be ac- ceptable, Governor Coolidge con- ferred with representatives of both sides for the purpose of assisting in selecting a board of arbitra ton. James H. Vahey, counsel for the car men, and w. H. Barnum, general counsel for the railway, were accept ed yesterday as members of this board and the governor was expect ed today to name the third member.
 Took Too Long.
 With the exception of power house men and drawbridge tenders, the 5000 employees of. the system re- mained out today. They struck be- cause the War Labor board, which received their demands for an eight hour day and 73 F cents an hour, had not announced an. award, after three weeks consideration.
 While traffic on all of the com- pany's lines remained suspended, commuters, many of whom were forced to walk to work yesterday, found transportation facilities greatly improved today by increased steam service and tablishment of scores of 'bus' lines about the city.
 Many Extra Trains.
 Nearly 100 extra trains between outlying points and the central ter minals, besides added coaches on the regular trains of the Boston and Albany, Boston and Maine and New Haven railroads, eliminated many of the delays and inconveniences suf- fered yesterday. It was estimated these roads handled double the amount of their normal traffic.
 Industrial plants and mercantile houses, handicapped yesterday by tardy or absent workers, were run ming under nearly normal conditions today. Many of them furnished transportation to and from the rail-
  for their employees.
 No Agreement Yet.
 The conferences of the morning ended without agreement on the third member of the proposed arbitration board. Until the third man is named, union men say, no steps can be taken toward calling off the strike The men can go back to work only by their own vote and it is said they will not be called into mass meeting until it is possible to submit a com plete board for their decision.
 Although the demands of the union are for wage of 731A cents an hour, union leaders said that 60 cents an hour probably would be ac- ceptable to the men, in view of the financial condition of the road.
