24 (By the Asso eiated Pre), Representatives of a score of railroads and the E'g Five brotherhood chiefs this morning con ferred at the Vale club for about three hours on the possibility of effecting separate agreements between individ ual lines and their striking shopmen. "We are still mediating," said War ren S. Stone, spokesman for the broth erhood men, when the meeting adjourned at 1 j25 p.m., without announcing whether another session would be held to-day. The chief of locomotive engineers de w. runea lunner iu discuss me meeiing i a ai which was Rurrounded by the utmost secrecy.

He hastened to the Hotel Woodstock to confer with leaders of the stationary crafts. New. York, Aug. 24 (By the Associated Press). Member of the Big Five brotherhood group of rail strike mediators met to-day at an uptown hotel and then left hurriedly for a conference with representative of the small group of rail executives who yesterday were ready to take.

up as individual roads further negotiations. Encouraged by a belief thai indi- vidua! settlement might yet prove the basis for peace, the Big Five leaders conferred until after midnight with the head of a score or more of executive who, when yesterday' general confer- ence adjourned, expressed a willingness to continue negotiations, although reaffirming their common stand against the unions' seniority proposals. Daniel WiUard, spokesman for" the group of executives, had previously announced that they would meet the brotherhood chiefs again "early to day" but without disclosing where or when the session would take place. It was reported unofficially, however, that the al club, scene of yester day's major developments, again would be the seat of negotiation. The exact status of the renewed ne gotiations remained this morning, somewhat clouded.

Both the executive who conferred last night with the brotherhood men and those who prepared to leave for their homes early in the evening united in asserting that the negotiations were continued for the purpose of testing the sincerity of the mediator in suggesting the possibility of separate settlements. It was announced, however, that any individual Tettlement would have to be made in the light of the understsnding on seniority reached at the general session of the Association of Railway Executives. The failure of a majority of the roads to participate in negotiations which the so-called minon ued late last night, wa ascribed to two reasons: Kirst, their refusal to recognise the seniority demands of the strikers as a basis for settlement. Second, their refusal to consider taking bark all of the striker, a point which President Harding' proposal contained, and which the striker have consistently demanded. The minor group was understood to he willing to Uke hark all their old men.

providing it could be done without neeeitting a withdrawal from the stand on seniority, in which they concurred with the majority. UNEMPLOYED UNEASY. Vienna Crowd Unhinge Parliament Door and Eater. Vienna. Aug.

MULTITUDE PAY TRIBUTE As Michael Collins' Body Is Taken Through Dublin Streets DRAPED IN TRICOLOR OF IRELAND One of Fighting Party Tells Vivid Story of Fatal Ambush Dublin, Aug. 24 (By the Associated Press). Draped in the tricolor of Ire land, the coffin containing the body of Michael Collins, slain chief of the free state was landed here eariy to-day from the steamer (lassie and later born through the streets amid an impressive tribute from the assembled multitude.

General Collin' body was met at the dock by large throng of mourner, including Richard Muleahy, chief of staff. The body waa taken on a gun carriage preceded by a band of pipers, to St. Vincent hospital. Prayers were said a the procession passed in silence, broken only by the distant crack of snipers rifles in various part of the grief -stricken city. The cortege waa flanked by a line of Dublin guards marching in slow time, with the- muzzle of their revolvers protruding from the holster.

Immediately behind came an armed car bristling with rifles held at all an gles, comprising an incongruous ending to the mournful procession. Seveial men who were wounded in the fighting neat Bandon, County Cork, Tuesday night, in which -Collins lost hi life. had accompanied their beloved leader' body on the sea voyage to Dublin. Among the little 'band of fighting men who made the last stand with Collins and who followed the body of the lin hero through the Dublin streets with lowered head, and tear blinded eyes, waa a boyish figure wearing a ragged civilian coat and tweed cap. Across his shoulders he carried a machine gun, the same run with which he said afterwards, he had poured a bail of lead into Collins at tackers.

After the procession, he told an in terviewer in a shy and diffident man ner, and in a voice often choked by emotion, a vivid tory of the fatal ambush. The car in which Collin was rid ing, he Mid, "was th first to meet the ambushers' fire. There were at least 2o0 of them against twelve of us. It was about 9 clock when passed through the village. We had not gone over 400 yards along he road, when from both side we were caught by a deadly enns-cros of machine gun fire.

The driver of Collins car wanted to drive at full speed but the general ordered him to halt and told us to take cover. He took command of th whole situation and directed the fire against the attacker for nearly an hour. Two machine guns kept up incessant firing at Mick's o'pen car, but up to -then no one had been hurt, and it began to look a though the irregu lars were going to scatter in order to risk no more casualties. "It was during a lull in the at tackers nre that Alien noticed a sniper creeping on hand and knee some die ance down the road behind him. Mick mmediately went about a doren yard hi direction with the object of stop ping further movement in the rear of the party.

At that moment heavy nr- nir swept acros the road from both ides. The gun in the whippet ar mored car whkh followed had jammed, lessening the effect of otrr fire. The sudden burst of shooting caused to turn around for a few seconds, and the next moment I saw him fall to the ground shot through the head. A he lay dying he shouted words of encouragement taTiis men to go on firing ind not mind him. Im- i i 1 mediately there were cries 'of.

God. Mick is Men rushed to hi distance. Although bleeding freely from a terribly lacerated wound, he lived fifteen minutes, during which he continued to fire his revolver." The body was later removed from the hospital mortuary, where it was ret taken to the hospital chapel. In- er the vigilance of a guard of honor hoen from the national army, the ead general'a relatives and friends vis ited the chapel during the morning hours, and large erowda passed by the bier throughout the day. Collins' body waa attired in the uniform of commander-in-chief, with his revolver still left in it holder.

Even in death, the pale features of the national hero wore the appearance of determination. Collins lay dresed exactly a he met his death, "the uniform bearing the crimson stain which told the story of the end. Poignent cene were wit-nessed in the little rhapel a the mourners came and went. Misa Kitty Kiernan, Collins' fiancee, and his muter. Mis Powell Collin, were among the first to enter the rhip-el.

After them others came in a tedy stream, many of them lingering before the body and rehietant to leave it. Many kissed the forehead of Ireland's dead commander-in-chief. Meaawhile. nun moved silently to nd fro in the pale light of the candles. Sir John Livery tood beside the coffin with a csv.

There still was, however, no official information before the Senate as to the executive's views other than that contained in his letter read to the House last March, just before that body parsed the bill.
