SETTLEMENT OF

Trainmen Willing to Make Some

Omroat special Berries.) '
Chicago. April -L Th ultimate settle
ment of the trouble between th rail
roads and trainmen Is thought, to be
possible now. Commissioner Knapp and
Nell! met the railroad mansgers this
morning, and are In session with ths
trainmen's managers this afternoon. It
haibnreported "tJiat-tha men -have
waived some of ths minor demands and
it Is expected that ' the managers will
yield on others, thus making a com'
promiss possible and averting the threat
ened strike, which. It Is recognised.
would amount to a calamity at th
present time.
By yielding some points from ths
stand they hsd taken the trainmen feel
that they have gained a decided advan
tage and that should a strike be called
their action will swing public sent!
ment to their side, sines It would put
ths rallroada In the position of balking
ths peace negotiations.
Should the efforts of th commis
sioners stop here, they will have to re
port that while th employes were will
ing to make conceaalons for ths sake of
peace they could do nothing becaua
th railroad managers would yield noth
ing from the stand on which they were
deadlocked with th men before they
asked th Intervention of Knapp and
NellL The trainmen feel that th
railroads should make some concessions,
particularly since It was thsy who asked
arbitration under th Erdmanh law. '
