certain changes. The respective demands
have been the subject Of conferences
since more than 10 days ago, and agree
ment upon all matters was finally
reached today subject to the approval
of Judge Mccall OF the federal court,
who. we are advised, will be here SAT

"As stated. the most important mat

as was the case In 1918, when the ques-
tion was settled by the national war la
Dor board. and In 1919, when II was
determined by Bishop Gailor. Col. War

as board OF arbitration.
''As in those years, II was agreed
that an Increase In wages approx

centage OF increase In the cost OF living

tract was just. This principre WAS raid

''Thts increase in wages to motor
men. conductors, barn and shop re-

will be given certain other employees
