UNION PACIFIC CONFERENCE.
Receiver Clark Will Meet Representa-

OMAHA, Neb, March 1.-THE confer
ence between the delegates Of the Union
Pacific employees and President Clark, rep
resenting the receivers of the company ap-
pointed by the federal court, will COM
mence tomorrow morning. There was a
general meeting of delegates at the Arcade
this afternoon open to all the delegates,
and free, unbiased discussion resulted.
The program for tomorrow is completed.
At 10 O'Clock delegation composed of one
delegate each from the engineers, firemen,
telegraphers, conductors, American Rail-
way Union, Brotherhood Of Railway
Brakeman and order OF Railway Train
men will meet Receiver Clark in his pri-
vate Office in the Union Pacific headquar-
ters building.
This will be preliminary meeting and
Mr. Clark will be asked just what ha ex-
poets of the men, and the meu will ascer-
tain as nearly as possible just what may
be expected OF Mr.. Clark. There are some
matters involved in the proposed change
OF the schedules that are common in their
effects on all branches of the service. and
these can probably best be settled when all
are present and participate in the discus
cusslons. There are others that are pecu-
liar to some one branch of the service, and
for all to attempt to take part in these de-
loerations would throw no light on the
matters In controversy and might possibly
complicate them. Delegates have been
arriviag on every incoming Union Pacific
train and tomorrow noon the delegation
will be complete.

REFUSE TO ACCEDE.

TERRE HAUTE. Ind, March 14.-For
several weeks the trainmen OF the Chicago

the company's proposition that they should
accept a 10 per cent reduction in wages.
The votes are all in. aud by an overwhelm-
ing majority the engineers fremen and
trainmen refuse to accede TO the proposed
reduction in wages. The reasons given
the company for this refusal is the fact
that the Chicago aud Eastern Illinois rail-
way has not suffered by the hard times,
being able to declare its regular quarterly
dividend of per cent. The men believe
that the whole matter will now be dropped
