The Wabash and Its Men Reach a Satisfactory Agreement. After HVpealnl Cwuferenee a fcrt I leiaea of the H(e lim. ulit Md Oilier l.iloauot mm Arrived at. Sf Louis. April : t f:M Saturday evening Uie terms of agreement betwen the officials of the Wabash railroad and the brotherhoods of trainmen and firemen were signed hy 11 W. Ashley, assistant president. Those present when the final agree ment was reached were: Mr. Ashley, assistant to President rbiinsey ; Col. Wells II.

T. ; J. J. lLtnnahaii. grand master of the It. L. F.; J. IL Courtney and C. A. Lew ton, representatives of the firemen and trainmen. The main features of the settlement were agt-ed upon Friday, but the minor details required time. During the protracted conferences which led up to the agreement it appeared more than once as if there would be no settlement and a strike would be ordered. 'Iliis, however, was avoided by diplomacy on both .sides. Totals Won t.v Kmplorn One of the points which the em ploy es scored was the acknowledgment that the Illinois Central and the Chicago & Aljon were competing lines. This had been previously denied by President Pamsey. The discontinuance of the double header system is another point, as i the section relating to the firemen on the Ituffalo division. 'The increase of 12 per cent, for pa senger men and 13 per cent, for freight men is granted at once on the western division, and will be extended to the middle and western di-vi-ions when the same advance is made by competing lines. The conferences between the officials and the representatives of the brotherhoods of t rainmen an. I firemen began last Wednesday , inunc iiat.
