Ashley, of the Ann Arbor Road
TOLEDO. O., April 19.-Tne famous Ann
Arbor strike will be settled by to NOR
row morning. The advisory committee of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive EnRi-
neers spent to-day In adjusting mat
ters. The negotiations TO this
end were begun by the Brother
hood. General Manager Ashley stated that
he was willing TO come to an adjustment.
provided two points were conceded. First.
that no engineer now in the employ of the
road shall be discharged simply to allow an
old emplye to have his place; second. that no
engineer who was guilty of injuring the
company's property during the late strike
shall be Unemployed. Negotiations have
progressed upon that basis. and the agree
ment Is substantially that which was
made in March by Railway Commls-
sioner Kirkby aud rejected by the
men. The old men who desire work are to
make regular application to Superlntend-
ent Corners. at OwOsso. As many as are
needed " Ill be put to work at once and the
others are to have places as fast as
vacancies occur or need arises If no hitch
occurs In the settlement of these cases-apd
mono is spprehended-the Ann Arbor strike
will be declared OFT in the morning.
Will Not Run .'Scab" Engines
OMAHA, Neb.. April 19.-There may be a
walk out of engineers and tiremen on the
Union Pacific. At least that Is what the
striking iron workers claim. The advisory
committee of the strikers held conference
this afternoon with delegation from the
engineers and tiremen's brotherhood. and
although the outcome is not known. one of
the strike leaders asserted that the engi-
neers would refuse to handle any engine
repaired by "scabs" except those drawing
the fast mail. There are no indices-
tons as yet. however, of the engine
men going out. Beyond this there Is no
change whatever In the relations of the
Union Pacific railway and the employees
who walked out Monday. The company
has settled down TO the work on hand and
all departments are running smoothly,
although the officials admit that they are
handicapped in the blacksmith shops.
boiler and machine shops. but still able TO
stand a pr0tracted siege. There 10 no IN
dioation on the part of the strikers to yield
the ground assumed by them on Monday,
and things have commenced to settle down
to a long period of strife fought ont along
the lines of conservatism without violence
or unnecessary demonstration.
Waters Wages Advanced.
NEW YORK. April l9.-It transpires that
while the distinguished guests now stop
ping ct the Hotel Waldorf were lingering
over their coffee. last evening. the 40 walt
ers who. ander ordinary circumstances
would have been waiting on the Duke of
Varagua and his party. were closeted with
Manager Boldt. discussing the probability
of striking at once. The walters were united
in asserting their position. and declared
that unless an immediate increase of wages
was agreed npop they would leave in a body.
The manager finally acceded TO their de-
mands, thus preventing q strike. which
would no doubt, have caused consterna-
tion among Che guests well as the pro-
prietors. One hundred and twenty walters
received an increase of s. per month in
their salary. which was formerly s25 per
month, while the remainder. who are classi-
fed as privnte-room walters, will receive
Gao month.
