MIDNIGHT MEETING
OF Operators and Conductors OF
the Wheeling Railway
AT WHICH INCREASED WAGES
Arc Rcqucsted-Thc Executive Com.
mittce ofthc men VIII Wait on the
Management Next Saturday.
Wheeling s. Elm Grove Manage.
mcnt Decline to Grant the Increase.

Yesterday morning shortly after mid
night, In Trades Assembly hall, meet
Ing OF the local union of the Interna-
tlonal Street Car Workers that is made
up OF the eighty or more operators and
conductors employed on the Wheeling,
Martins Ferry and Bridgeport lines Of
the Wheeling Railway Company. was
held. Although considerable secrecy
was maintained. the Intelllgencer learns
from reliable source that the proposed
request for an increase in the wages Of
the motormen and conductors employed
by the Wheeling was the principal topic
discussed.
The meeting was largely attended,
and In addition to the members of the
union there were also present members
OF the other local union of the Interna-
tional Street Car Workers. which Is
made up of men in the employ OF the
Wheeling & Elm Grove company. Pres
ident Tishe, Secretary Salisbury and
Thomas Duffy. OF the Ohio Valley
Trades g. Labor Assembly, were also In
attendance.
The meeting was called to order short
~ after midnight. after the men had
quilt their cars for Saturday. The SEES
sion lasted until after 4 o'clock Sunday
morning.
The result of the mems deliberations
was . resolution instructing their exec
utive committee to call upon the man
agement OF the Wheeling Railway Com
tItic
for an increase In the wage scale OF
operators and conductors from sixteen
cents to twenty cents per hour. It Is
said the committee. which Is made up of
five of the men, will wait on the man.
agement Of the road next Saturday.
There is no particular hurry, it Is said
as they expect the management will
hold back any decisive answer until the
request can be acted upon at the regu-
lar monthly meeting OF the board of di-
rectors, In April.
The presence OF the Elm Grove men at
the meeting of the Wheeling company's
employees is explained by the fact that
the formers request for an advance
from sixteen cents to twenty cents per
hour has been refused by the manage
ment of the Wheeling & Elm Grove
company. Although this development
came last Thursday night. 1t has up TO
this time, escaped publication. The
management of the Elm Grove stated
to the committee that waited on them
that they were unable to grant the In
crease owing to the extensive improves
fnents undertaken recently, which have
required the expenditure of o large
amount OF money
The Elm Grove men, 1t is learned. will
now proceed in the manner prescribed
by the regulations of the International
union. First, President W. d. Mahon,
of the union. will come to Wheeling
from Detroit, wait on the Elm Grove
management and endeavor to secure n
reconsideration OF their decision. II this
Is not possible, he will extend an offer
of arbitration. In the event that arbi.
tration Is declined. he will then present
the matter to the Internationals execu /.
tive board. which will decide
whether or not further effort be made
to secure the increase desired.
