sKrrLKD By CONFERENCE


Aeo On the Maofsoa street Cable Line
Accept Reduction.
Rumors have been circulated during the
past week aud especially yesterday that
the employees Of the Madison Street Cable
railroad. who will have their salaries cut
cents an hour beginning May l, would
strike. The Posr-ISTEILrGENcEa learned
last night tina; the reports were false and
that all differences of opinion between the
men and officials of the road had been
settled amicably and after consultation
that was perfectly satisfactory to
ali parties interested. After the notice
concerning the reduction of wages was
posted, committees representing the road
and men held 8 conference, at which the
condition of affairs was looked into from q
purely business standpoint. Facts and
figures were placed before the committee
from the men, showing the exact condi-
ton Of the roads finances and which in
themselves explained why it was neces-
sary 10 make the cut The men looked at
the condition OF affairs in a common sense
light, and after weighing the pros and
cons came to the conclusion that In the
present state Of affairs labor as well as
capital should bear its part of the burden.
The officials of the road agreed to bind
themselves by contract to pay is cents an
hour for one year and the men accepted.
In this thoroughly practical manner the
trouble was settled and the danger of a
strike that would have undoubtedly spread
to other lines was averiei. By the present
arrangement any man on the road can
continue work, or, If he is not satisfied
with the wages, At any time quit and allow
those who are satisfied TO continue with
their iabors.
The Madison street road has in its en-
ploy many men who. 20 to speak. have
grown old in the service. For months,
and in many instances since the road was
started, the conductors ana gripmen have
remained At their placed As body and
individually they have always proven
themselves as accommodating to the pas
sengers as they have been faithful to the
cOmpany.

and also agreed that the engine should
return By daylight, in order that
Mr.. Van cieve might inspect the track.
But the latter overheard the strikers dis
cussing the advisasility Of leaving him
behind. and therefore he remained in the
kitchen OF his car, in which the sick girl
lay, and they did not undertake to
put him out. Bus when the train
arrived at Spokane the engine was
stopped outside the roundhouss, whers
II onstructed the entrance of other
engines, and was disabled by the
letting Of Of all the steam and water. the
result was that Mr.. Van Cleve, with what
aid he could find. had to pinch the engine
into the round house, . work which took
him three hours. and then had 70 return
west over the Northern Pacific without
inspecting the track between Spokane and
