is a proper subject for such action.
IA definite answer as to arbitration OF
matters with persons formerly In our
employment cannot. Of course, be made
without a statement from them OF the

tors"

What we now ask the Transit CON-

ton of work, Is: To agree to recognize
our organization.
1--WE ask for the re-insta tement Of all
our men to the positions formerly held
by them and that members Of the Union
discharged on that account be re-instated.
"we are aware that the company meets
this request with the> statement that 1t
should not and viii not discharge the
men it has employed since the commence
vent OF the strike. We do not insist upon
the discharge of these men, but we hold
that II they are retained they should be
assigned to places subordinate to those
held by the old employees, whom I repre-
sent"
After remaining In session all the af-
ternoon, the committee decided that it

PLEASING CONCERT AT
LOAN EXHIBITION
Last Night Was a Complete Success
and Attracted a Large ThrOng.
This VIII Be the Last Day for the
Exhibition, and a Very Attractive
Programme Has Been Arranged-A
Dance to Take Pace Next Monday
Evening.

This will be the last day of the Loan
Exhibition for the City Hospital bene-
fit, and an effort has been made to
make it one of the biggest days, from
standpoint of attendance, since the
doors were opened about two weeks
ago. An excellent musical programme
has been arranged for the afternoon
and evening, to include selections by
glee club. The admission fee to all
departments has been cut to ten cents
for children, and parents are urged to
send their sons and daughters during
the day. Arrangements have been
made for dance Monday night, IN
der the management Of Messrs. Arch
Wilson, Clark Hazlett and Will Vance.
The musicale given last evening was
one of the most pleasing affairs Of the
kind ever given in this city. The con-
cert, which was arranged by Mrs. Geo.
B. Caldwell, attracted an unusually
large crowd to the exhibit; in fact,
the attendance was by far the largest
yet.
The programme was as follows:
Vocal Solo-"Wedding Song.
Mr.. Emerson.
Piano-"Ballet'' 80. .Chaminade
Miss Kate MacHenry. '-''''-N
Vocal solo-"Good Bye, Sweet Day.
Miss Phillips.

'''''' Miss Kate MacHenry. p'''
The numbers were all excellently
rendered and we'll received. Every one
on the programme was encored, but
no one responded, as the programme
was very long
Miss Blanch Raymond, of Fairmont,
visitor in the city, kindly consented
to sing for the Hospital, and was
added to the programme. Besides pos
sessing a voice of exceptionally fire
quality naturally, she had it
cultivated under the direction of
a prominent teacher in Rich
mond. 1t is strong soprano
yet sweet, and the young lady rem
dered her number exercising complete
control over it. Every one who heard
her was most favorably impressed.
