firemen *U averted Saturday by the
aucoees of the mediation proceedings
which hare been la progress for two
Just before noon Saturday the]
mediators under the Br <1 man
Judge Martin A. Knapp of the com
merce court and Dr. Charles P. NelU.
Commissioner of Labor, brought the
partlee to the controversy to an ami
cable agreement. The term* of the
agreement were reduced to writing
and signed by Southern officials and
the -flramens committee. The terms
agreed upon were perfectly satisfac
tory to both sides, a deeire to main
tain friendly relations between the
railway system and the firemen at all
times were manifested, and. In the
end, concessions were msde by each
aids.
/ Lt the conclusion of confer- {
sDce the mediators made the follow
ing announcement:
! ^ "The controversy exist I at between I
the Southern Hallway Company and
I its locombCH^'*" ="
which has been in mediation for the [
past two *eeks, has been settled
a basis satisfactory to each aide.
"influenced by a deeire to main
tain friendly relations pith es
ether and by consideration of the
public Interests, each slds mads oon
?ns in ordsr to come t> s basis
of settlement."
Neither railway officials nor fire-l
men would make a deflnlio announce- 1
ment of the terms of ssttlcment.
Queusti0c? of some delicacy were
Involve^ In the adjustmsnt and It
was felt that the flremenla commit
tee might better hare opportunity,
si first hand, to explain ths terms to
ths men of their various divisions
before they were made public. The
employment or negroes ss firemen
figured lsrgsly In the controversy ?
tuit* as- largely in fsct as tbe ques
tion. of wagee. Apprehension that
any brief statement made Saturday
might prejudice employes -brought
about the agree meat that or Stalls
of the eettlement should be given out
here. The representatives of the fire
men left In the afternoon for the
South after -a conference with Gen
eral Manager CospiAan at wlhch the
working details of the agreement
were determined upon. When the
members of .committee r*.ach their
divisions they will explain to the
men the terms of settlement and
probably will announce them to the
public.
Immediately after the firemen's
demands had been disputed of offi
cials of the railway held a confer
ence With representatives with the
engineers of the road, who ere ask
ing for wage increases of approxi
mately 25. per cent. It is not expect- 1
ed an agreement will ' be reached |
for several daye.

have their petition granted, It Is un
derstood that they do not contem

why.
W aahington, June It. ? It Is con
sidered very likely hero that South
ern cotton mill men who were In the
agreement that brought Patten, w
Hayne, Brown, Scale* and Thompson,
live cotton bulla, to grief In ' 1909.
will be Indicted by the government,
if the efforta of Chairman Beall of
the houae committee on expcndlturaa
in the department of justice have
any effect.
In examining District Atto^^y
Wise Saturday, Mr. Beall dwelt for
an hour on the proeecutlon of the %
cotton bulla. Patten, Hayne, Brown
and others, and lnalst?d that Mr.
Wise had not done his duty by falling
to indict th%, cotton spinners who
were In the agreement with the bulls.
Mr. Wise stated that he bad plen
ty of time before the etaiute of limi
tation was out. Mr. Beall hat bade
it plain that he would Ilk ? to see the *
mill men brought to Justly, and bis
Investigation may result In the In
dictment of the Southern cotton spin
ners in that famoua agreement.
Chairman Beall read resolutions,
the purpoee of w^ch were to curtail
production, aad raiee prices, .which
were paaaed by Southern cotton aseo
clatlons. Reference to Charlotte waa
made In the resolution.
"Why did you not Indict the spin
ners?" said life Hjtenli to Dletrict At
torney Wlae of New York at the
hearing Baturday.
"If I answer that It might hamper
men in my prosecutions," said Mr.
Wise. "I believe In keeping your
mouth abut until you get tn court. I
will add that the agreement did not
originate with the aplnne-s. but with
the other patriae to It. The spinners
ware lugged In without knowing
what they wer doing."
Ernest B. Baldwin, formerly as
sistant district attorney of New York,
told some interesting things about a
conference be bad with R B Tanner
of Charlotte eoou after Patten. Brown
Bayne. Scaleeend Thompeon were
Indicted for balling the cotton mar
ket tn ltdt. He told Tan net
that Government Inspector Road
strum had Intimated to him that he
would like to make Tanner a gov
ernment wltneea. Mr. Tanner declin
ed, aaylng that If he wjre guilty It
would not be right to tell on hta aa
soclatea. <
At the time of the trouble among
the bulls Mr. Baldwin was an attor
ney for Craig and Jenks snd other
cotton men.
Certain papers In the potacsslon of
Mr. Craig, among themb the agree
ment between the bulls and the spin
ners, which Mr. Tanner hat" sent to
him, were eubpoenaed. Br. Baldwin
tried to keep theae out of court.
"That agreement might Involve
Mr. Tanner," Mr. Craig had said.
"Mr. Roadetrum" said Mr. Bald
win, "told me that the papers con
victed Mr. Tanner, but that he seem
ed to be an unwilling participant .
The government* be adtled. 'would
be glad to uae him aa n witness.' I
