United Press reports May 1 that W. D. Mahon of Detroit, international president of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees of America, may come to Cleveland to mediate between motormen and conductors and the Threefer. A. L. Behner, VP of the national body, will assist. A conference between DuPont of the Threefer and union officials is expected to decide the course before Saturday.
