The President tonight sent the following message to LE Sheppard, acting president of the Order of Railway Conductors; WG Lee, president, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen; WS Stone, Grand Chief Engineer, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers; WS Carter, president, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen; and Elisha Lee, chairman of the Conference Committee of Managers, in New York:
“I am exceedingly glad that the conferences have been reopened and that the prospect of a settlement looks brighter. I hope most earnestly, for the sake of all concerned and most of all for the sake of the nation, that the two parties will continue to draw closer together and that a little further conference will lead to the result the whole country hopes for and expects.
