Engineers Later On.

LnEAMetEH hAAeE Oms
Chief Arthur and the members Of the
board OF adjustment of the brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers returned to
their homes last night. This was due to
a telegram received yesterday by Chief
Arthur from President Plant stating that
he would meet the chief and the board
in Savannah for a conference some time
within the next three weeks, and that
due notification would be given of the
date of the meeting.
This arrangement was satisfactory to
the engineers, and they at once made
their arrangements to return home Mr..
Arthur left last night for Augusta where
he will pay the divisions there a social
visit. and will then return to his home
in Cleveland. He viii return to Savan-
nah for the conference with Mr.. Plant.
The engineers composing the board of
adjustment also returned to their homes.
Except for providential causes, the same
members will compose the board on the
occasion of the conference with Mr..
Plant.

Plants fun knowledge and consent. We
have always found Mr.. Plant ready to
deal fairly and uprightly with his en-
ployes, and we have no reason to expect
otherwise now"
The engineers who compose the board
of adjustment are a clever lot of fellows
They are bright and intelligent men, too
and look more like business and profess
ional men than the typical engineer as
he is commonly pictured. The strike tax
has died out now, and the situation will
remain in statu quo until the conference
