temporary truce declared between thelung opposing factions of John SkeltouWilliams and Thomas F Hjran of thin

oard Air Line Railway Company-

to result In the final victory of Will-

iams as the controlling head of theorganization-

This interesting question Is being

asked among railroad men especial-

ly In view of the fact that the re-

organization of the road is to occurIn a short time and the line to beplaced on one ot the most solidoperaUng bases that It baa knownsince Its organization

It Is understood that Williams andRyan have compromised so that the

road will not necessarily be solda decree of the United States

court At the same time It Is beingrumored that Wllllama U makingevery effort to consolidate his tnteats so to finally control tho roadIt Is further stated that Ryan Is will-

ing to sell his Interests In the roadto Williams provided the latter iable to finance his scheme to ownthe road

Appointments that have been re-

cently made Incidental with plans foi

the reorganization have been Willlams appointments This createtbe opinion that Williams and Ryathave reached some agreement bwhich the long fight will be endedwith Williams In complete control
