the road officials disposed to deal fair
ly with the men, and that there is no
sign of any serious difficulty In any of
the many shops of the road.
"Officials ot the Rock Island read
charge of the shops are to be com;
said Mi
mended for their attitude,"
Pring.
While the men are now working ot
proposed terms of a new workini
agreement with the railroads west oi
the Mississippi river they anticipate
no serious conflict with the heads oi
the road. The next agreement wil
be under the group plan, and will In
volve all shop crafts. This is a new
method, and is under the direction o;

be prepared to go Into the plan, bn
that he looked for the bis majortt)

to the one under which the engtaeert
and firemen deal. with the roads.
