al had very full and friendly dis

per cent. of the men who had been In
the employ of the company that they
we're going to spen on said day and
would like to have them come back and
go to work. OF course they could not
find employment for all of them, as
there was more force than their pay
roll allowance would admit Of. These
men did not see fit TO accept of 1t, be-
cause they were not all invited to come
back, and therefore Messrs. Martin d
Barnes had to employ other men; bat
find on locking over the pay rolls for
August, 1885, that We had on the 9th
OF that month, out of total Of 249e
men IN the service of the company, 1870
who we're in our service before the shops
closed June Is. This applies to shop men

a. Hosting maohin ,sts and mechanics
Our present force In b1S less than it was
have given employment TO all who asked
for work"
The conference continued more than
an boar, and all points OF difference
we're discussed. After receiving Col.
ralmage's proposition, Messrs Po~dsrly
and Turner returned TO the Planters
House add held q conference with the
Wabash com1ittes, which resulted In
the rejection of the proposition of Col.

Messrs. Powaerly and Turner will
formally demand the withdrawal
Of what is called the lockout order Of

in three ways, the chairman of the dis
