Conference Ends.

Shortly before 4 o'clock the confer
ence in the Grand Central terminal
ended n the executives committee
returned to the Yale club. The big
Five" committee was expected to fol-
low them.
The action of the executives COM
mittee led to much speculation. and
the opinion was advocated that some
new factor had been introduced into
the Observation-Disclosures q counter
proposal by the executives or a new
proposal by the brotherhood men.
The latter was considered more likely,
because the carriers committee had
seen fit to go again before the whole
body of railroad presidents.
Still more mystifying came the dis
covery shortly after 4 o'clock that
the Big Five, following the executives
down a back stairway. also had left
for the Yale club, eluding the army
of newspaper men massed at the
terminal. What the new move signi-
fed could not be learned at the time.
At 4:10 p. m. the mediation COM
mtttee Of brotherhood chiefs ap-
peared before the full membership of
the association of railway executives.
