Officers Elected BY Traiumen.

The general grievance committee OF
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
composed of delegates from all the
lodges on the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western main line and divisions.
began it's annual session in this city
yesterday.
Under an agreement made between
the company and the brotherhood this
committee. once a year. assembles and
hears any grievances which any Of the
lodges or individual members may have,
and. after sitting the real from the
fancied. submit them to the general
manager for his consideration. The
annual session usually lasts several
days: this year 1t is expected that about
a week will be required to transact the
business. Two or three days will be
given uo to routine business and the
consideration of grievances, a day or
so to consultation with General Man
ager w. +. Hallstead and then con-
cluding session occurs when Mr. Hall
stead prepares his answer.
Ii the outcome is satisfactory the
committee adiourns: II not. the grand
lodge officers are called into cOnsulta-
ton. This final measure has never as
yet been appealed to. and 1t Is not likely
that it will be, as long as the present
kindly feeling exists between the COM
pany and its employees; and this feeling
is in no danger Of being disturbed while
General Manager Iiallstead pursues the
cOmmendable course which has made
him the most successful of railroad
managers. and while the trainmen con-
tinue to select their most conservative
and intelligent men tn represent them
on this all important committee.
