...time the train rolled into Union Station, management and union were so close to agreement that they decided to call the Mediation Board and ask to be left alone a few hours. The Board said "Fine." By next morning, the disputants had found a formula for a settlement. The union bought the drinks.

Wearying of the proceedings, he suggested that claimants could make more if they could split the estate than they would by fighting on.
