room n.t 5:15 this iiiorniiij; just a few
hours after Ilia ninmtfrurs' hud agreed
to. abandon the lotijr and bitter ric,ht
they have made against the brothcr
lioods' demands.
Ah the last of thu nine to siim it
attached his signature the tension in
the little jii'nup relaxed. The niun
aeers ami the chiefs shook hands
with eneh other and with each of the
Washing-Ion mediators.

looking out, said :
"Why, look out there. It's the
dawn -of a new day."
Most of those present Ihouuhl he
had expressed the feelini; of nil, for
it was Ihe first time in many years
that there had been mueh evidenee
of friendly feelini; between the men
who run the trains and the men who
manure them.
Htatemeiit, Is Issued.
The ' mediation noeotinl ions ami
I heir result are summed up in Ihe
following statement issued at six
o'clock this morning by the eommit
teo from the council of national de
fense:" "We desire to express our appre
ciation of the lnrjre and pat riot ic uc
tion of the railway managers' com
mittee which luiH put beyond perad
venluro the possibility of n nnlion
wide railroad strike. The railroads
have met the full deuinnd of the Ad
nmson eight hour law. This conces
sion wns secured as the culmination
of two days and nights of negotia
tion. "Our first effort was to secure n
postponement of the strike which
was fixed for Saturday night. This
postponement was secured by pre
senting1 lo Ihe railroad managers a
memorandum agreement drafted by
the brotherhoods which with some
particularity expressed Ihe provis
ions of Ihe Adamson law. We ask
ed Ihe railways to agree Hint if the
Adamson law was held to be consti
tutional (hat this construction and
application would he given lo il. The
railways agreed to this at a joint
session between the brotherhood
chiefs ami Ihe managers. And with
much difficulty the chiefs stayed the
strike all act that was vital lo 'the
success of our efforts at furl her me
diation. Matter locldcd.
"Wo next sought some adjustment
that would be effective should the
law he held unconstitutional. In this
regard many proposil ions were made
to both sides until the railroads ex
pressed a willingness to place Ihe
whole matter in the hands of tin m-
niittee. This notion proceeded, as
Ihe letter of the railroad managers
states from a desire lo demonstrate
lo the country that Ihe railroads
would not allow their own conception
of railroad policy In stand in the way
of the fullest use of the rosds tit a
lime of seven' national strain. The
committee considered Ihe matter and
decided that in view id' the action of
congress in passing the Adamson
law and the necessity for immediate
action. Hint it wns best t lopt at
once Ihe memorandum agreement id'
Ihe previous day as applicable under
all conditions. Then the provisions
of the eight himr law, bv agreement
between Ihe muds ami the men be
came the basis of the sett lenient and
whether the supreme court holds for
Ihe validity of the law or against it,
there will be no slrike. (Signed)
