That the railroad officials realize thatthere is much at stake in the Baltimoreconference is shown oy the refusal ofthe officials to make any statementsfor publication suggesting the probableoutcome An statement by anofOctal of the New York Central wasgiven etreuJaikMi today out ft has failedto 8aiooth the feelings l the brother-hood men here
Ready Fight-In the statement It te alleged that
the Brotherhood of Raiiroa Trainmenand the Order of Railroad Conductorsthroughout the country have decidedthat the time te ripe to compel tincomplete recognition of their organiza-tions Heretofore the railrOads Withthe exception of the New York NewHaven and have refused totreat with the officials of these brother-hoods but have instated that whencommittee are to them to agreeon the points of the annual agreementthese committees must be exclusivelycomposed of men employed on the roadwith which negotiations were beta
The officials of the New York Centraltake the stand now according to thestatement given circulation that thebrotherhood because of the agitationraised by the high cost of living have

He declared that tty went to Balti-more tinder instructions to treat asrepresentatives of the Western execu-tive committee of the trainmen and con-ductors and said one of the repeons that the Baltimore negotiationshave not been completed was the un-willingness the Baltimore and Ohioofficiate to deal directly with the grandchiefs He stated however that thetest report received here was that asatisfactory agreement is expected
