18 ROADS CONFER
SEPARATELY WITH
BIG UNION CHIEFS
While Other Executives
Plan Finish Fight, One
Group Seeks Peace.
FIRM ON SENIORITY.
Meeting Held at Yale Club in
Hope of Finding Basis
of Agreement.
FIRM ON SENIORITY.

The heads Of eighteen large railroad
systems, with Daniel Willard, Presi-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio, acting
as Chairman, went into conference In
the Yale Club to-day with the Presi-
dents of the five railway brotherhood
unions, headed by Warren ID. Stone
of the engineers, acting as medlatorH,
for the purpose Of arriving, II possible,
at some method of settling the strike
of the shopmen on the roads repre-
sented.
The conference, into which report
ers were not allowed to enter broke
up at lis o'clock this afternoon. The
labor leader mediators hurried over to
the Hotel Woodstock, where they Inn
mediately got into touch with the
leaders of the striking unions. MIR.
Stone said he did not know whether
there would be another talk with the
railroad executives.
Mr.. Stone appeared TO be discour-
aged. 1t was quite plain after he had
conferred with the chiefs of the strik-
ing unions that they were not en-.
thusiastic about the terms he offered
the railroad presidents in tho morning
session. lnasmuch as the minor group
of Presidents is bound by an agree
mcnt to sacrifice the seniority rights
of the strikers and tho union leaders
insist that the seniority rights be re-
stored, the situation was drifting to-
ward the deadlock stage late this af-
ternoon.
The eighteen railroad Presidents
and the five brotherhood chiefs con-
ferrcd until midnight last night, while
the other out-of-town railroad Presi-
dents were arranging to go TO their
homes and prepare a fight to finish.
At the conclusion OF the night con-
ference, tho brotherhood chiefs went
to the Hotel Woodstock, where they
met Bert Jewell, the leader Of the
| strike, and the heads of the various
crafts unions involved.
At first the leaders of the strikers
would not listen to any proposition
| that did not mean a settlement on all
the railroads of the country. Jewell
was loud in demanding a battle TO the
end. However, in tho course of n long
controversy, it would appear that the
brotherhood chiefs persuaded the mill
tant strike leaders that it might be
well TO continue negotiations; other
wise, the morning conference at the
Yale Club with tho eighteen railroad
| Presidents would not have been held.
These executives represented the
following railroads. which are in
position to take back all the men who
walked out on them: Chicago and
Northwestern, Chicago. Milwaukee
and st, Paul: Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy; Northern Pacific, New
York Central, Erie, New York, Chi
cago and St. Louis; Chesapeake and
| Ohio; Norfolk and Western, Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburgh; Baltimore
and Ohio, Norfolk Southern, Wheel
| Ing and Lake Erie, Lehigh and New
England, Rock Island, Minneapolis
and st. Louis, Louisville and Artan-
sas and Alabama and Vicksburg.

Grand Jury Inquiry Shows Glaring Discrep-

as Exposed by Evening World, RustOn
Writes Commissioner Admits Amazing
Ignorance" He Charges.
The evening world., 1922-08-24

An intimation is seen in the letter
of activity by the Grand Jury Of Kings
County in investigating the taking OF
fees from peddlers by Market Depart
ment inspectors and the handling OF
the money thus collected that there
are persons in the market administra-
ton who are liable to indictment in
other boroughs though they may have
committed no crime in the Borough Of
Brooklyn.
The letter supports every allegation
of The Evening World since it began
urging official correction of market
conditions and removal and punish
ment of offenders who preyed on mar
ket men and peddlers, thus increasing
living costs In the home. 1t is as fol-

Hon. John +. Hylan.
Mayor of the City OF New York.
City Hall. New York City.
| My Dear Mr.. Mayor:
Investigation by the Grand Jury
of this county into the pushcart
| peddlers' markets in the County
of Kings has at the outset de-
veloped a situation which | think
should be called to your attention
at once.
The weekly reports fled by
some Of the supervisors show
most glaring discrepancies and
the Commissioner of Markets has
confessed an amazing ignorance
as to their contents. They have
been filed in his office in a most
slipshod manner and have appar-
emily never been audited. They
bear no official flo marks. No
books are kept making a perma-
nent record of their contents. No
business enterprise could remain
solvent one week with such
methods.
In some cases there has been
no attempt even TO make the re-
ports balance. one supervisor,
in the year 1921, shows on the
face Of his own reports a balance
OF nearly $500 entirely unac-
! counted for
| The same supervisor reports
over $500 in "incidentals" for
| which no vouchers are filed and
no items are given.
Other weekly reports show
items for payments made to Ia
| borers," supported by vouchers
signed by the supervisor himself.
Others show vouchers for money
paid TO labOrers on the payroll OF
the Street Cleaning Department.
Others show frequent weekly
| balances OF sums over 800, which
should have been turned into the
sinking fund, but which, instead.
were distributed during the fol-
lowing week to additional "labor-
ers' and assistants" "
II has been my intention to
make a complete report TO you OF
the result OF my investigation
when il is completed. but | deem
| it my duty TO write you this letter
now so that you may safely i'm
| pound the supervisors reports in
| the other counties Of the city. As
| have said. they bear no file
| marks, and no permanent record
| is kept of them. think you should
