Ihe agreement, which will be in

maintaining old wage levels and
rules. including time and one-half for
overtime after eight hours, was con-
sloered by the employees organiza-
tlons as favorable to them. Griev-
ance committees Of the trainmen's
organizations on nineteen roads enter
ing Chicago had approved the agree
ment before w. G. Lee, president Of
the trainmen, and L. E. Sheppard
president of the conductors, affixed
their signatures today.

after the trackmen had voted to
strike, and after the shop crafts had
walked out in protest against the

Likely to Raise Limit of $24,'
5000 by Half Supple
mental Estimates.
LARGER APPROPRIATION
FOR STREETS FORECAST
Gen. Lords Assistant in Confer
ence With Commissioners-De-
cision Not Yet Made Public.

Belief that the budget bureau will
raise the limit of $24,50o, 900. which it
has placed on District estimates for
next year. was strengthened today, when
Capt. Redmond D. Stephens, Gen. Lords
assistant, went to the District building
for conference with the Commissioners
The only definite statement that could
be obtained following the meeting was
that Capt. Stephens had called for "ad-
ditional information" on tho local
budget.
More Street Funds Seen.
sThe very fact that he was closeted
with the city fathers however. was re-
garded as an indication that the budget
officials have been impressed by the evil
dence submitted by the Commissioners
to show that $24.500.00O would not meet
the barest needs of the community for
the next fiscal year.
1t is considered significant that Mai
E. S. Besson. assistant engineer COM
missioner, in charge of highways, en-
tered the conference room while Capt
stephens and Daniel J. Donovan, Dis
trict budget officer. were there.
This gave rise to the report that the
budget office is planning to allow at
least a part Of the 100000 asked
for by the Commissioners In their
supplemental estimates for paving
the main arteries OF travel in the
capital.
$4,000, 600 More Likely.
While the budget bureau may not
find its way clear to recommend to
Congress all of the $6,000,o0 sought
by the Commissioners in excess Of the
$24.500.o00. the opinion prevails at the
District building that at least half of
the supplemental estimates will be
included.
The necessity for the supplemental
estimates becomes apparent when 1t
is remembered thai the regular
budget carries only about 100000 for,
new school buildings and approx
mately $4,000 for new street paving
Jobs.
1t probably will be ten days or two
weeks longer before the budget bu-
reau decides definitely how much It
will recommend to Congress for the
District government.

The latter, however, believed the others
were challenging him to a race and

the field other officers wheeled landing

Injuries Not Serious.
When it was seen that a crash was
